BETTER SERVICE NEEDED

III F the force at the postoffice
is not sufficiently large to
permit of adequate SER
vice then the remedy is to have
the force increased. The East
Oregonian is glad Postmaster
Tweedy is taking steps to this
end and suggests that he be
given all possible aid by local
people.
Pendleton is a town Of suffi-
cient importance, commercially
and otherwise, to deserve the
most efficient postal service
possible. The service is GER
tainly not efficient when peo-
pie have to wait 48 hours or
longer to secure their mail. In
these davs many things can
happen in less time than 48
hours.
Justice to the public and al
so to the local postal force de-
Tnands that the postoffice de-
partment improve the situati-
on in Pendleton.

Now WEAR SHARKSKIN SHOES!
Coast Fishermen Find a
New Industry Opening
In Demand For Hides
of Once Despised Fish.
Newspaper Enterprise Association,

Newspaper Enterprise Assoc.ation.l
NEWPORT, Cal, Feb. 23.-Due
to the activities of the U. 8. bu.
reau of fisheries, new fishing in
dustry has been made possible In
southern California waters.
Experiments conducted by tan
ners at the suggestion of the de-
partment of commerce indicate
that shark skin will make a prac-
tical, cheap and durable leather.
Fishermen who formerly cursed
their luck and slit the throat of
the shark that became entangled
in their nets are now skinning
these scavengers of the deep and
selling their pelts for foot cover
ings.
Shark Oil.
Several fishing companies here
abouts contemplate going into the
business on a big scale.
A Japanese syndicate is outfit
ting several boats for shark fish
ing exclusively.
A. L. Dixon has succeeded in
bringing in a number of large
shark catches this season, and has
reaped considerable profit from
shark oil.
Shark oil is the slowest drying
lubricant ever discovered. Its
greatest commercial value is for
painting roofs. A roof coated with
this oil will shed water much bet
thun naintai rnnf
Leopard Retains Spots.
Shark fishing is a pictures
que sort of work. Dixon's boat
leaves harbor at o'clock every
morning with a mile of nets. II
the sharks are running he often
catches whole school at a single
haul. The fish will range In size
from four to Is feet. Occasional
ly one Is caught that measures SO
feet.
1t is predicted because of the
scarcity of leather, big demand for
shark hides will be forthcoming
! from shoe manufacturers.
The skin of the Leopard shark
j is particularly desirable because
tanning does not eliminate the
spotted. leopard-like quality of
/ the hide.
No Man Eaters.
Leopard shark skin shoes are
now being worn by women in Los
! Angeles, and what began as fad
is rapidly becoming staple. II
enough skins can be procured,
dealers in the east plan to put the
shark skin shoe on the market as
new line of footwear.
There are Ia varieties of sharks
in southern California waters, all
of them suitable for leather.
There are no man-eaters among
| them.
Fine for Game Fish.
The Oil shark and the Leopard
shark possess the greatest COM
mercial value. Most peculiar are
the Hornback, which spears its
prey with a horn in its tail and
then tows it to the bottom; the
Shovel Nose which has broad,
flat beak like a shovel; the Bask-
ing shark, which frequently at
tains q length of SO feet, and the
Thrasher, which lashes its prey
TO death with its tail. Schools Of
Tharsher sharks have been known
to attack whales in these waters
and to whip them to death.
The bigger the shark the more
suitable his hide for tanning. In
fact, the thickness of shark leather
depends entirely on the size of the
| fish.
Big game fishermen will well
come this new industry as boon.
In recent years terrific inroads on
the big game fish of the Pacific
have been made by sharks.
