ceived what the iObbers received, thus saving the commission paid the greedy brokers whose greatness increased from day to day until the fishermen found themselves starving. Mean while the trust always paid good price to the brokers, and the swines fattened at the fisher mems expense. The situation became unbear- able and the fishermen sent up a howl that was heard everywhere blaming the trust. Forget ting that the trust had had nothing to do with them direct While it used practically all the fish, the profit the fishermen was entitled to went as a commission to the brokers that the latter might ride an automobile while the poor devils of fishermen were out getting more commission Here entered the Seattle Chamber of Commerce and the Seattle Commercial Club, who without thinking what they were doing. had the trust in dicted for starving the fishermen. When the clamps were applied, the fish trust, ruffled up sp1outed wings and flew to Prince Rupert and the fishermen after it. Leaving the brokers and the Seattle people gaping.
 The trust did not fly off from Seattle to punish us here, nor the fishermen but simply to punish the Seattle people for having allowed the iobbers to rob the fishermen and charge the trust with the crime. What does the trust care what it pays so long as it sets the price that the fisher men must receive and the consumers must pay 7? We take it that its aim is to compete with the meat trust The point is so long as there is a good demand for fish, just so long will the fisher men get good price for their fish, and no long CT. If the fishermen eliminate the iobbers who is the biggest item of expense, just the same as he walking boss is to an organization. they will receive the full benefit of their work
 Now, if the trust is the buyer of the fish, and as t wants the fish, compel it to come here and ouy instead of at Prince Rupert. it will come here and pay the same price that it pays now less the difference of the cost of transportation from here to the latter place which cost the fishermen would make up on fuel loss of time, etc, and the American business men would hold the traffic because the Grand Trunk Pacific is after the traffic and will have it despite all that Seattle can do. This big transportation company being after the business. what is to prevent it from coming here after 1t? Nothing Then why not have whatever business our country creates for ourselves? And if we cannot have the business unless by the enactment of law. by all means let Us have ii.

MORE EXPLANATION.

That halibut bill that failed to pass congress recently, is causing great deal of useless talk these days. Some there are who believe the bill should have been passed. Others believe that it would have had an ill-effect and detrimental to the best interest of the fishermen.
 In the first place, let it be understood for all time that as far as the local business men are concerned, they do not wish to deprive the fsher- men of their hard earned money They know the fisherman deserve all he can get for his fish, They know that his life is full of miseries caused by hardshipS unavoidable in his occupation. They understand all that, and the fishermen may be said to have the sympathy of every man. wo- man and child in this community. Bearing that in mind, we can proceed to point out what led to the present trouble Likewise, what led the fish buyers to go to Prince Rupert?
 In the first place. and up to the time the fish ermen changed their selling headquarters from Seattle to Prince Rupert, they had been com plaining for years about what they called the Fish Trust" and blamed the beast for the cut ting down of prices to the stage of starvation. Supposing there was fish trust; was it that same trust that caused the fishermen to starve? Emphatically no. The fish trust is buying now and the fishermen are said to be satisfied. If it wasn't the fish trust then we must look some where else
 Following this. the first question that must be answered is; with whom did the fishermen do business when in Seattle? The jobbers. And there you have the~key that opens the door to the abode of the scoundrels who starved the fish ermen. Likewise you have the key that led to the prosecution of the trust.
 For years and years. the fish trust has been handling eighty per cent of all the fish that is taken in these waters; and it is still. Although, and until the buyers moved to Prince Rupert from Seattle, the trust hardly ever bought fish direct from the fishermen. The fish was shipped to iobbers who generally skinned the fishermen to the bone either by culling the fish or other wise holding the price down. Had the fishermen dealt direct with the trust. they would have re-

and along the streets. Any kind of
trees are better than none, but some
kinds are much better than others. A
little care in the selection of the va
reties and some regard to uniform
ity in planting them will mean a
great deal in the course OF a few
years
Pullman will never have d better
opportunity than the present to Sc
cure the best possible results from
tree planting. The streets have been
paved, concrete sidewalks construct
eG and parking strips established
These parkings are supposed to be
made attractive with trees and
grass, but they can be utilized to the
best advantage by planting the right
kind OF trees at the right distances
apart. 1t is folly to set out short
lived or easily broken varieties OF
trees, when it requires no m ore work
or money to plant long lived and
hardy varieties which will not have
limbs split off every time thai
there is a heavy wind. 1t Is a mistake
to plant several different varieties
without any regard to a uniform dis
lance between them, along the same
street, where a much more beautiful
effect could be secured by planting
the same kind of trees at equal dis
tances along the whole street.
Many cities and towns, realizing
the possibilities of identifying their
streets have taken over the super
vision of the planting of all trees in
parkings. In some instances differ
cnt varieties of trees have been used
along different streets, elms on one,
lindens on another, hard naples on
another, etc. all planted at uniform
distances. The result is much m ore
effective than had different varieties
been planted at irregular distances
along any one street.
Now that Pullman people have
new parking strips in which to plant
trees, they should start with the idea
of adding as much as possible to the
attractiveness of the whole city, as
we'll as to their own property. In
stead of each one going ahead on
his own hook the residents on each
street should get together and adopt
some uniform plan of tree planting
IL this they can secure valuable sug-
gestions from the tree experts at the
college, who will gladly advise them
as to the best varieties to select and
the right distances at which to sci
them.
There will never be a better op-
portunity to take a long stride to-
ward the goal of a Pullman Beauti

CONGRATULATIONS

Friends of the State College of
Washington will have no regrets
over the decision of the educational
survey commission to do its work
without the assistance of DR.. p. P.
Claxton and the United States bu-
eau OF education. From the very
start Dr.. Claxton evinced a DISPOSE
ton to act as dictator instead of ad-
User to the commission. He
seemed to be obsessed with the the
orJ that the chief function of the
Commissioners was to carry out his
IDEAS in conducting investigations
and formulating their report. He
appeared to be far more interested
IN expounding and placing on exhi-
Dltion his pet views as to the relative
scope of the work of universities and
other institutions of higher learning
IN general, than in studying the CON
dltlons existing in this particular
state and the laws under which its
educational institutions were found
ed, He indicated in many ways that
he was committed to the plan of linn
lung the work of the University only
oy the horizon, but of rigidly re-
stricting the scope and curriculum of
the State College.
Had the commission allowed him

and furnish the advice on which its
report must be based, there is little
uount that the State College would

garded the mem bers of the commits

only junction would be to sign re-
port prepared by Claxton's experts,
