BREAKING RECORDS IN
SALMON EGG TAKING
Hope This Years Fish Run In
Puget Sound viii Increase.

Olympia. Wash.-Al the salmon egg
taking records of this state were
smashed this year as the result of the
enormous number of eggs obtained
from the Columbia river and the Grays
harbor districts, according TO State
Fish Commissioner l.. III. Darwin
Unprecedented November storms and
high water were handicaps. but ON the
Columbia river the state procured more
than 45,0O0,000 salmon eggs. On Grays
harbor, where the Chehalis hatchery
last year took 22.59l.OO0 eggs. there
have been procured this year TO date
100000 eggs, and all are now in the
hatcherieS. The three large salmon
hatcheries on Puget sound are busy
taking eggs, and it is expected the rec
ords will be broken in this district or
close TO 50000,00e eggs procured
1t is expected that the hatcheries this
winter will have lJ0,OOO,O0O salmon
eggs TO care for, and the number of
young fry will be the largest ever nur-
tured In the states history
The entire product of the hatcheries
this winter will he released In Puget
sound next fall. BY So doing il is
hoped 70 increase the run of salmon
there In spite OF the heavy increase of
salmon taken in recent years

SUICIDE CHANGED MIND.
Taste Of Carboic Acid Showed Smith
He Didn't Want to Die.

Indianapolis. - Edward G. Smith,
aged twenty-five, of 652 North Jeffer-
son avenue. decided to commit suicide,
but quickly changed his mind after
he had tasted a small quantity of car
bolic acid.
The customary fateful note, in which
he attributed his dependency TO a
quarrel with his wife, was found in his
pocket
Smith staged his attempt at suicide
In a drug store at Illinois and Wash
ington streets. After the clerk had
sold him the acid he turned around and
held the upturned bottle to his lips.
A moment later he gave out a shrek,
threw the bottle and remaining bit Of
acid at the clerk and then fell against
the counter. An ambulance took him
to the city hospital.
Physicians at the hospital said that
Smiths tongue was slightly burned,
but that he had not swallowed any of
the acid.

is in dread of possible complications.
Everything is being done to give him

Louise's later escapade in marrying an

FEROCIOUS RABBITS
THEY ARE EATING DOGS AND
TREE AND STEALING THINGS
UP IN NORTH DAKOTA.

Wildrose, n D., Jan. 29.-Tree-
eating, dog-fighting and thieving rab-
bits are pestering the farmers of this
district-and many and varied are
reports made of the activities of the
long cared jacks.
That the rabbits are so numerous
as to cause losses to farmers, is not
questioned. but some of the stories
told are highly picturesque. For in
stance:
Jens Thompon sent his trusty shep
herd dog after big jackrabbit. For
fifteen minutes the jack gave battle
to the dog, but superior weight began
to tell and the rabbit took to his
heels, but not until he had made life
rather miserable for his adversary.
Now Thompson's dog SHES clear of
rabbits.
Hans Rice declares his dog, ordi-
narily a good hunter and fine scrap
per, won't venture to face a squad of
rabbits that makes nightly visit to
his premises, and which has been re-
sponsible for heavy grain losses.
Ed Larson found fifty rabbits
around his haystack, the rabbits
making way with the hay in rapid
order.
Hans Rice also tells the story of
rabbits eating trees, declaring he has
lost many trees in that manner, the
rabbits climbing up on their hind feet
eating the bark and into the wood,
with the result that the trees finally
fall over.
James Goebel, night watchman, in
sists that rabbits are doing all the
scavenger work in the town, making
nightly visits to refuse cans. and that
they are coming in increasing num-
bers every night.
