LARGE PROFITS
 OF FISHERMEN
New Record Recently Claimed to Have Been Made by American
 Schooner Director

There have been several instances mentioned locally recently of the big returns for the time expended made by fishermen, but the follow ing from the Pacific Fisherman purports to be the story of a record breaker:
 A new high record for one days earnings in halibut fishing has been made by the American schooner Di- rector. Captain Soriano. out Of Prince Rupert The former record, held by this vessel. was S3O.7O per day. On the trip ending Sept. n. when the catch was marketed, the figures were advanced to S43.57 per day for coch man.
 Tho Director was gone from port eight days. She brought in 170OO pounds Of halibut. of which only about 5000 pounds were first class. The rest was second class and brought half price. The first class fish was sold for 16% cents per pound. The amount received for Che catch was $2.139.OO. or this sum Che expenses were S3O9. an un- usual figure. as an extra supply of gear was taken along in case of cm- crgoncy The share of the vessel amounted to S435.GO. leaving Sl;- 394IO to be shared by the crew of four men Each man got $34S.GO or fraction over S43.57 per day. | 1T no extra gear had been taken on. Che share Of each man would have been over SAT per day. Halibut fishing is hard work. but at the prices now ruling it has its compen- sations.

BIG BUCK FER -oo"
 AT CAMP LEWIS
Soldiers From Mountain States to Give Exhibition in Breaking
 Wild Horses

The following exhibition billed by a Tacoma paper to take place soon at Camp Lewis would be worth go- ing miles to see:
 Under the direction of the officers of the 34Sth regiment of field artil- lory, the men of that regiment on Nov II will give a frenzied riding and "buck-er-oo" circus. The army men will stage their wild horse pro- duction in a natural amphitheator located about a quarter of mile east of the remount station of the Tacoma army camp cantonmont, where there are corallcd 10000 horses.
 The artillery men say they are anxious to show a host of the natives of western Washington how they do it in the Rocky Mountain states. The various committees of the of- ncers have long been busy making arrangements, and especially will the comforts of tho spectators be looked after. There will be seats for 3O.OOO or 10000 people where all can see. Although the camp is itself great sight and now in full running order, such an added attrac- ton as a full nedged Rodco will probably cause many to make that many times postponed trip to Camp Lewis. Che soldiers say.
 Because of the many years of rid- ing the wild plains of Utah, Wyom ing, Nevada and Montana, the men of the 34Sth field artillery are es- pecially qualified to interpret the daring art of the cowboy in the sad dle. Men who have won the money in round-ups all over the West will be on the job with wild horses that have been imported to Camp Lewis Such stunts as roping and picking up objects from the ground at the gallop are tame in comparison to the "bull-dogging" and drunken rid ing" done by the high-hceled boys from the West
