S., 100000 For Bremerton

DUST by way OF making more concrete what the
ST. 900 would do, we had reporter go to
lBremerton and investigate what was proposed.
He found that three thousand of the highest
type of skilled mechanics will be added to the
present staff of 400 if the yard takes up battle
ship construction.
The annual payroll, aside from the thousands
OF dollars paid to enlisted navy men there was
$3.50, 900 during 1915
It would be more than doubled under the new
era.
To transform the Puget Sound navy yard for
battleship construction about 100000 must be
spent for building ways $50 feet long.
Cantilever cranes and massive overhead
traction system will cost $25000O.
All this construction would be done, probably,
within the six months following the passage of
the BILL The rest of the appropriation it is pro-
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1916-03-18

There are four or five perfectly good reasons
why Tacoma ought to take hand in helping
Bremerton land that $2,O65, 900 appropriation
for transforming the Puget Sound navy yard
into ship building base of the first magnitude
There is the selfish reason Anything which is
going to make Bremerton, Is miles away, ex-
pand and advance is going to have a mighty
beneficial effect on Tacoma.
But there are better reasons than that.
The Bremerton improvement is fine, large
step in the direction of national preparedness
1t is step in way that peculiarly benefits
the Pacific coast And it is a step in a way that
The Times has maintained from the first, is the
best way for the whole United States. For it
would mean that Uncle Sam was going to build
more of his own warships. And that would pull
the claws of militarism by taking the profits out
of preparing against war.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1916-03-18
Everybody, Pull For That

The appropriation is one that does not SAVIOR
in any sense of pork. Practically every expert
who has investigated the Sound navy yard has
pronounced it ideal for the purpose to which it is
now proposed to be put.
Senator Poindexter's bill passed the senate
Thursday, as our Washington dispatches indi-
Gated, and now the measure is up to the house.
The Times suggests that the Tacoma CONNER
cial club become active in urging every Wash
ingtOn congressman to vote for and work for this
bill. Incidentally it might be good plan to sug-
gest to some of them at the same time that they
withdraw and forget certain other appropriation
bills of their authorship which do belong in the
pork barrel.
And The Times would suggest also that every
TacOman write those congressman, impressing
on them the Importance of their pressing the
POindexter bill.
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1916-03-18

posed to use for smaller equipment and to en-
large the present facilities.
1t is understood that battle cruiser, which
would take three years to build, would be the
first job for the Puget Sound yard. Materials
for its construction would begin to arrive at
BremertOn by the first of January, 1917, if the
appropriation program goes through.
Repair work that will keep 1,400 mechanics
busy for two years has been assigned to the yard.
1t is estimated that Bremerton, Charleston,
Manette and Port Orchard eventually will be in
corporated into one city of joint population of
from 10000 to $4,000.
THE PUGET SOUND NAVY YARD WILL
THEN BE ONE OF TACOMA'S GREATEST
POTENTIAL SOURCES OF BUSINESS.
And it will be government ship -manufactur-
ing plant of which every American will be proud!

Fishing
Out the
Halibut
Way to
Increase Ocean
Harvest Soon
Found Famine
By Jack Jungmeyer

The herring come first,
Swimming shoreward to
spawn-by billions.
After them follow the flat.
ugly but sweet-fIeshed half
but, from some mysterious
deeps of the sea.
And, hungry as the halibut,
follow the horde of fisher
men, up along the British
Columbia and Alaskan coast,
taking their toll.
Thus 1t has gone, genera
ton after generation.
But now the men are harvest
ing the ocean faster than the hal
ibut breed, and unless new banks
are found by the government on
the west coast there will be fish
famine, say the trawlers.
The haul last year was 10 per
cent greater than in 1914-65,-
900, 900 pounds.
But it took a longer time and
more persistent search to find the
big, succulent founders.
The public" says Capt. John
Carroll. halibut trawler of 33
years experience on both coasts,
has vague belief that edible
fish are inexhaustible. Not so.
Supply Is Decreasing
"The halibut on the known
banks of the north Pacific are
not breeding as fast as they're
caught, even though every fish is
taken by a hook.
"The government has made
some attempt to locate new
grounds. The Albatross was out
for that purpose in 1914 and
1915, but without very satisfac-
tory results. ] was q member of
her crew myself, but these expe-
ditions lack the right kind of
manning.
"The present grounds, though
now supplying So per cent of all
halibut consumed in this country,
are pretty near fished ont, and
uulcoS pIOllllC HSN SIOuHuS uIb
located soon the United States
may expect fish famine inside
of 10 years.
And there's another angle to
this, linking. up Importantly with
the country's preparedness pro-
gram.

1.-THE 1000 halibut fishermen
ON the Pacific, to say nothing OF
the cod men, form the finest kind
of a reserve for the navy If trou-

but TO KEEP EN- ON THE
SEA, THERE'S GOT TO BE
FISH. AND TO HAVE ENOUGH
HALIBUT TO UPHOLD THE IN
DUSTRY, NEW BANKS WILL
HAVE TO BE LOCATED ON THE,
PACIFIC.
That's one reason why Uncle
Sam should concern himself
about the service he can and
ought to perform for these trawl
ers."

send you a certain amount Of grocer
les for the day, but it Is at least more
satisfactory to him If you would take
the time to visit the store and look
over what he has to sell, for in doing
so there is a chance to vary your pur-
chases and you will be better satisfied
with your bargains. 1t looks good to
see an old lady come down town with
her market basket upon her arm and
visit the various stores, making pur-
chases here and there and carrying
home the smaller articles in her bas-
ket. She enjoys it and the merchants
are glad to see her. Perhaps she gets
better bargains by not asking for the

local history as one of the best that
has ever been held in the city. The
exhibits were greater than for several
years and better than usual. The at
fractions were entertaining and pleas
ing and every patron Of the fair went
away satisfied and in good humor,
This proves one thing to a certainty,
that the carnival, as an attraction, is a
thing of the past. People may like to
spend money at a fair but they want
some return on their investments.
Games Of chance and lottery schemes
may attract a few but they invariably
disappoint every one but the winners.
1t is the business Of a fair to teach
people to look for better things yea
after year. Then it becomes a county
fair in all that the name signifies. The
whole county owes it to itself to pa
tronize it literally and make it the best
fair in the state outside of the state
fair. This a and will be done.

This country must be safe-guarded
against arbitrary strikes and lockouts.
The one is as bad as the other. Con
gress, to avert a calamity, passed an
eight-hour law for railroad trainmen,
but this does not prevent the men
from striking for any other u at
any other time. A railroad strike at
any time would be a national calamity
worse than a foreign war or even a
rebellion as great as the civil war OF
1861. Here is a danger which states
men must face. The administration
did the best it could under the cir
cumstances. 1t averted the threaten
ed calamity, but did not remove the
danger. This must be done even
though the nation is forced to take
over the roads and operate them I'M
der military rules such as France
employs at critical periods. The pros
perity and well being Of the nation
can not be sacrificed for any organi-
cation or any body of wealthy men
controlling great quasi-public interests.
