times endeavoring to get something
for nothing from the federal govern
ment and that the only development
in the West is that which has been
brought about by taking undue ad
vantage of the government. l feel,
in justice to the state of which have
the honor to be chief executive, that
it will not be out of place to enumer-
ate some of it's accomplishments since
it's admission as a state, in 1889.
Statistics About State.
"At that time the population of the
state was 357,232. 1t had increased
from a population of 1915 in 1880,
when the state was still territory.
In 1910, the population of the state,
according to the federal census, was
1,141,99O, and the census bureau es-
innate on July 1, 1914, placed the
number of people in the state at
1,407,S65.
Figures compiled by the United
States department of agriculture
show the yield of wheat of the state
of Washington, for the year 1914, to
have been 41,S4O,OOO bushels, of oats
13,959,OOO bushels and of barley
7,098,000 bushels. Almost every
year has shown an increase in the
production of these cereals.
Washington has also established
itself as one of the leading fruit
growing states. In 1914 there was
produced 7,442,623 boxes of apples,
692,244 boxes of pears and 1,492,003
boxes of peaches, the total value of
these three fruits during that year
being approximately 100000.
''The report of our state depart
ment of agriculture shows that the
production of butter in Washington
for the year ending October 81, 1914.
amounted in value to $4,S59,352. For
the year ending October 81, 1904,
just 10 years previously. the butter
output was valued at only $1,891,692.
an increase in this one line Of 257 per
cent. At the close of the year ending
October 81, 1904, there were three
condensed milk factories in the state
and the value of the product for that
year was s441.133. The statistics
for the year ending October 81, 1914,
shows that we then had eleven con-
densed milk factories in the state and
that the value of the output for the
year was s4,601,300
Il appreciate that listening to fig
ures becomes somewhat tiresome but
only by this method can the advance
ment and development of state be
shown. l have touched only part OF
the agricultural products of the state.
and before concluding desire TO pre-
sent to you a little information re-
garding another of the states great
resources--its fisheries.
State Fish Hatcheries.
"The state of Washington now OPP
crates 81 nSn natcherleS' - vi "hieh
are used for the propagation OF
salmon and 6 for the propagation OF
trout There are also a number OF
other trout hatcheries in the state,
some of them operated by the coun-
ties and others by private individuals
and organizations. The output OF the
salmon hatcheries for the year 1914
amounted to over 10, 100000 small
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1915-08-27

salmon, and that of the trout hatch
cries for the same year to over 7,OOO,-
900 young trout.
when they have attained sufficient
size, the young salmon are turned out
into the rivers and streams, from
where they make their way into Puget
Sound and the Columbia river and
from there into the Pacific ocean,
When they reach maturity they re-
turn from the ocean into the Column
bia or the Sound, and endeavor to
make their way to the point where
they originated, to spawn, this being
one of the peculiarities of the salmon.
When they arrive in Puget Sound or
the Columbia river, they are caught
in ont or another of the different
types of fishing appliances, canned
and then shipped to the four corners
of the earth to furnish food for untold
millions of the worlds population.
"We are each year adding to the
efficiency of our fisheries department.
During the two years just passed, the
capacity of our fish hatcheries has
been increased so per cent, and will
be still further increased. In the
year 1913, the value of the canned
salmon produced in the state of Wash
ington was approximately $13, 00O,-
900 while the value of salmon pre-
served in other ways was $2.278.667.
Without doubt the value of the fresh
salmon produced that year. in connec-
ton with that which was caught but
covering which no report is made to
our fisheries department, amounted to
not less than $5,000,000, making a
total value for the year 1913 in ex-
cess of $20,O0O,O0O. The worlds
supply of salmon comes almost en-
tirely from the states of Washington
and Oregon, and the territory of
Alaska.
1--WE take pride in our fishing in
Union having as good laws regulating
fisheries as are those of the state of
Washington. Under our laws closed
period is provided during each week
of the fishing season. This gives the
salmon an opportunity to get past the
traps and other catching gear and
hN tho orn,ndS ThnS
the state gives nature fair chance to
help maintain the supply. Our laws
also prohibit fishing entirely during
other seasons. Fish traps cannot be
placed within 2,400 feet laterally or
500 feet endwise of one another The
length of traps is limited to $500 feet
and they cannot be constructed in
water of greater depth than 65 feet at
low tide.
Makes Pointed Contrast.
about a year ago an inquiry was
made of one of the high officials of
the federal fisheries department at
Washington City as to what laws, if
any had been enacted for the protec-
ton of fish in the Potomac river. He
stated that no law looking toward the
protection of fish had been passed by
any Of the states having jurisdiction
over the waters of the Potomac and
it's tributaries. He also stated that
there were about 4,0C0 traps in the
Potomac river and its tributaries and
that there was no provision Of law
Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1915-08-27

regulating the construction and oper-
alton of fish traps; that as a matter of
TACT the lead of one trap joined ON
that of its neighbor; and he particu-
larly stated that across the delta of
the Rappahannock river a solid line of
traps existed across the entire mouth
of the river. Inquiry of him as to
how the fish got by the traps and
reached their spawning grounds
brought forth the reply that they did
not get to their spawning grounds. He
deplored the laxity of the laws regu-
lating those rivers, but said it seemed
impossible to accomplish any improve
ment of conditions.
1T is a lamentable fact that the
fish in the Potomac river, almost un-
der the dome of the nations capitol.
are absolutely without protection, and
is it not possible that the same condi-
ton exists in many of the other East
ern rivers?
I'VE of the state of Washington be-
lieve that the true conservation policy
is being worked out in connection
with our fisheries. We are not only
making possible the use of the fish
today, but we are also laying founda-
lions deep and strong, looking to a
still greater development of the fish
cries industry for the benefit of those
who will follow u.s.
The governor then proceeded to
discuss the various state lands and
the method of administration, closing
with the statement:
Il have gone into this detail regard
ing our permanent funds SO that you
may see that the state of Washington
is endeavoring to dispose of it's lands
in way that will build up funds from
which, when invested, the interest will
materially reduce the burden Of the
taxpayer, not alone now, but for all
time.
West Appreciates True Conservation.
I'm conclusion, may l say that /
hope have been able to show, in the
time have taken, that the people Of
the West have keen appreciation of
the true meaning of conservation;
that theirs is not the desire to ruth
lessly and wantonly destroy, but rath-
err to do that which will make pos
sible the use of our natural resources
to the fullest degree by the present
generation, ever keeping in mind that
it is our duty to not only conserve
them in manner that will make 1t
possible for us to turn them over to
future generations capable of better
service as a result of the development
brought about during our day and
generation.
THE question is one of such vast
importance that it ought to be pos
sible for those entrusted with author.
ity to meet on the broad ground of
public good, eliminate differences of
opinion on matters too small to be
worthy of serious thought, and enact
into law measures that will make pos
sible a development greater during
the coming ten years than has been
brought about in the past thirty years.
All of which will add to the strength
of the nation and rebound to the ben
eft of its people,"

subject the other night when we
were talking of very homely wom-
an to whom her husband was devot-
ed. 81 suppose" he said, that poor
woman has never realized she is ugly
because her husband loves her"
do you suppose, Jim, he tells her
she is beautiful"
WELL" hesitated Jim, perhaps
not quite that, but he has probably
told her she was nearer his ideal than
any other woman, and" he added,
'he probably thinks he is telling the
truth. You can't always tell just
what will please a man most in a
woman that prides herself on her
brain, her culture, her finesse, her
tact, and yet, if ten men were asked
why they like her-and nine out of
ten of them do-they would unhes-

was mostly physical"

perfectly terrible state of mind. 1
must have been very pale, for Dick
said in worried voice, What is the

you had lost your hope of eternal

do you believe happiness can be

You are very happy and then all at

Dick looked at me rather queerly,

Mining Claims in National
Forests
Dated July 10th. 1914

In many mining districts in the West
of the Government in having claims
within the National Forests inspect, d
before the issuance of patent. Many
mining men feel that they are entitled
to patent to mining claims, particular
ly in established mining districts, even
if they have not made mineral discov-
cries on the individual claims.
Congress mas set aside part of the
public domain tor specific purpose
for the grooming of timber and the
protection of watersheds The fact
that any ground hes thus been with
drawn is prima facie evidence that it
has a definite value for the uses pre-
scribed by Congress. Is it unreason-
able for the Government to require
mining claimants to comply with the
Federal law before giving them abso-
lutte title to a part of its domain which
has been designated by Congress as
having presumptive value for the
purposes for which it has been re-
served?
A prospector or miner is in no way
disturbed by Government agents in
the enjoyment of his rights within
National Forests. No examination is
made of any ground locat, for mining
purposes, unless, as stated, It interfere
with the administration of the forest.
A claim may inerfere with the admin
istratiop of the Forest when it conflicts
with areas leased to individuals under
what is known as Special Use Permit
when it is included within a tract from
which the Government has sold, or
contemplates selling, the timber; or
where the claim is SO located as to con-
troll rights of way over which it is ne
cessary to transport forest products
At the present time in some parts Of
the country, the timber business within
the National Forests is seriously inter.
fered with by interruptions locaters Of
ground under the mining laws. In all
such cases, the Government has a di-
rect interest at stake and an examina-
ton of the interfering min ng claims
is made to determine their validity =
