When men actually glory
I'm hard work there is some-
thing FUNDAMENTALLY
RIGHT about the Job.
That's the way the halibut
fishermen of the north Pa
cific perform their task of
supplying Uncle Sans table
with sea flesh.
They recognize but one
shame and crime 10
QUIT PLUGGING WHILE
THEY HAVE STRENGTH
TO STAND.
A harder working crew doesn't
live, but
THEY ARE THEIR OWN
BOSS.
THEY SHARE THE PROFITS
OF THE HAUL.
AND THEY NEED NEVER BE
OUT OF WORK FOR LONG.
Therein lies the secret of their
eXultation, though their daily
stunt is often 20 hours in the
dory and the icing pens.
These modern Vikings make
their own conditions, largely
And they stick with the travis a
lifetime, or until the perils OF
their calling pull them down.
1000 Are at Work
More than 1000 of them range
the Northwest banks, from the
Columbia to Kodiak, supplying
IS per cent of all the halibut
used in the United States.
The commercial side of the in
dustry is told in market reports
IS, 100000 pounds taken dur
ing 1915, with a return of neal
81, 100000 to the men and the
vessel owners from the dealers.
But pounds and dollar marks
don't tell the story.
The classic of the halibut Is
written at sea, in dangers and
wrecks; in titanic labors; in hero
ism never chronicled, and in the
wonderful team spirit of the 1000
he-men who handle the travis.
Power Replaces Sails
Power schooners have taken
the place of the Yankee sail on
the Pacific. And power has set a
terrific pace among the halibut
catchers.
Each vessel carries from four
to ten dories, from which the men,
two to every boat, heave the long,
many-hooked trawl lines and lift
them again. Nets, spread in the
dories, when filled with fish are
hove aboard the schooner with a
winch.
From 4 o'clock in the morning
until past midnight, when on the
banks, the dorymen do not rest,
save for the call of the cook.
The small boats are dropped
over side while the schooner is
under way, and are picked up
again at dark in the same way.
The days catch is eviscerated and
packed in ice in the vessels hold
after the men come aboard at
night.
Three Hours Sleep
For perhaps three hours they
sleep like dead men. without even
removing their boots. Then the
cooks gong again-the cook who
is master of the fo-castle.
Until the schooner's fish bunk
ers are filled-from four to four
teen days-this terrific pace rs
kept up by the men WITHOUT
BEING DRIVEN.
FOUR-FIFTHS OF THE EN-
TIRE CATCH GOES TO THE
FISHERMEN, THE REMAINDER
TO THE VESSELS OWNER. The
crew pays all expenses of the trip,
in the Independent schooners, and
divides the residue in equal
shares. 20
That, with youth and health
and the viking spirit, is moment
UNI enough.
1t is no berth for a shirker OF
weakling. A drone is a dividend
reducer. robbing his dorymates.
Not Lacking In Peril
The best halibut banks lie w
against the Alaskan coast. where
storms break furiously; where fog
and reef and icy waters spell
constant peril.
Sometimes six dories go over
side in the morning. and but five
] are picked up at night. Where OF

Seattle. Wash, Jan. 22,--Crashing down up the slowly-moving vest bound Cascade limited train of the Great Northern railroad this morn- ing, near the little town of Corea, an avalanche of thousands of tons of snow and ice almost completely wrecked the train, catapulted two of the coaches, day coach and the din- ing car, over an embankment to the ground below, fall of 75 feet.
 Five persons are known to have beene killed, their bodies, as yet ufl- identified, having been recovered, while five others were seriously. though not fatally injured.

 Corea is about 150 miles east of here. The accident occurred on a sweeping horseshoe curve. the ill-fat- ed train being on the upper track and taking the turn. The avalanche
 struck the train about mid-center, tearing the day coach and diner from 1 their couplings, and bowling them
 without warning over the bank to the other prong of the horseshoe track.
