State Game and Fish Com
missioner Promises Ex-
tensive System
NEW PLANT ANNOUNCED
100, 100000 Fry To Hatch
On Chehalis River and
Tributaries Next Year

l.. H. Darwin, state game and fish
commissioner, talking to members o.
the Grays Harbor Rod & Gun clut
in the council chambers Monday night
promised an extensive system of rear
ing ponds for the Satsop hatchery te
be built this year.
The commissioner declared these
ponds will make the Satsop hatchery
the largest and best equipped on the
Pacific Coast.
He also announced the construction
Of a $1,000 salmon and trout hatchery
at Dryad on the upper Chehalis and
the enlarging of the Stevens creek
plant. Mr.. Darwin predicted that as
the result of the propogating i'm
provements to be made in this county
fishermen and canneries would have
to increase their equipment within
the next four or five years.
He thinks 100, 1000, 900 salmon fry
and millions of trout will be hatched
on the Chehalis and it's tributaries
next year. His predictions were vel
coined with applause from the crowd
who heard his talk.
If all the salmon hatched by the
state returned to their native waters
said the speaker, total pack of go,
600, 900 cases, would be the result in
stead of 100000 cases which are now
packed.
Rearing ponds to be erected at the
Satsop hatchery will provide means
for keeping the fish until they are
large enough to protect themselves
when they are liberated, said the
speaker, and greatly increase their
chances of living.
He said Washington has one of the
best hatchery systems in the Union
and is greater than those of any 9th
er Northwest state. They cost less
to maintain he declared
In the biennial just passed the cost
was SIS, 600 as compared to $4,000 OF
more being spent each by Oregon and
California where the output is fewer
fish.
The ponds at Satsop will be used
for trout as we'll as salmon fry. He
believes the streams of the state can
be made alive with fish through the
agency of the hatcheries and he fav
ors keeping the waters we'll stocked.
This state will some day become
one of the meccas for sportsmen if a
great trout and game bird supply is
maintained. Hundreds of thousands
of tourists of the East would be in
duced to come here if good sport op
portunities were offered, he declared
c. R. Pratsch spoke of the aims OF
the club. j. W. Clark praised the
state and county game commissions
and D. w. Fleet also spoke of the
work of the county commission.

State Will Test =
For Tuberculosis

MONTESANO, March &C.. F.
Monroe, county agricultural agent, is
calling attention Of farmers to the ap.
preparation made by the recent ses-
sion Of the legislature which makes
it possible for farmers and dairymen
to have their cows tested for tuber-
culosis without expense. Those desir-
ing their cows tested can secure blank
appliations from Agent Monroe. who
believes the producers can help rid
this district of the disease by testing
their herds and buying none but tested
stock.
The only obligation resting upon
those having their heard tested is
that no milk from infected stock can
be sold unless it is pasteurized. In
case of slaughter of such animals the
state helps to bear the loss, so that it
is to the interest of all owners to
have their animals tested, inasmuch
as one diseased animal in a heard
may serve to infect the others.

Eyes, it would certainly be advant-
ageous in such time as this to have
the agricultural business of the coun-
try systematized so that each state
county or locality might produce most
of that which it was best adapted to
produce. That is, to equaliZe the pro
duction of the various necessities
That, however, is problem still to be
worked out, but one which necessity
may bring about. Such a systematiZa
tion might not at least lat the begin
ming, work out so much profit, but in
times like this patriotic citizens are
not thinking so much of the profit
as of the country's needs"

Mr.. Brent is in San Francisco, and
is scheduled to meet shipbuilders in

calls for the building Of 1000 wooden
vessels, ranging from 5000 to 1000
tons cargo capacity, and that prob
ably a majority of them would be
constructed on the Pacific Coast.
Secretary Morris was directed to
wire Mr.. Brent at Portland, inviting
him to visit Aberdeen on his way to
the Sound, and inspect the two ship
yards here and the one at Hoquiam,
advising him that those yards had
now eight vessels under construction
and had launched ten ships during
the past twelve months.
Should Mr.. Brent be unable to visit
Grays Harbor, the shipbuilders and
representatives of the Aberdeen Cham
Der of Commerce and the Hoquiam

Two Bootleggers
Snitch On Others

Otto Hugo and Babe Damitio, ar
rested in connection with the fake
raid on the Coronado, took the witness
stand in Judge Snider's court Wednes-
day and Switched" on Charles Goet-
tert, proprietor of the Savoy hotel
and Wallace Pratsch who are charg-
ed with violating the liquor law.
Hugo and Damitio declared they
went to the Coronado and took off the
liquor which they swore they later
sold to Goettert and Pratsch.
Damitio, following the trial Of
Clarence Shougars and Joe Cole, was
arrested on another warrant charg-
ing more serious crime and he told
the court it was the hope of getting
off lighter that prompted him to testi-
fly as he did in the case against Goet-
tert.
He denied that he had any prom
Use of immunity or that he had talked
to any of the officers about his tes-
timony.
Chief Schmidt declared that this
part of the mans testimony was false
as he had talked to the chief and the
latter told him to tell the truth. The
officer also said, "Damition has a
strong back but weak mind"
Under cross-examination of AttOr-
ney Fred Conway, Damitio became
nervous and APPARENTLY tangled in his
testimony.
Hugo proved to be a better witness.
for the state and continually drew
conclusions in regard to questions put
to him by Attorney Conway. He said
he saw Damitio talking to Goettert
the night the booze was stolen from
the Coronado and he was sure the
conversation was about the whiskey.
He said it could have been about moth
ing else.
The case against Goettert was taken
under advisement by Judge Snider
pending the outcome of the case Of
Wallace Pratsch which is being tried
this morning. This case was post
poned because a witness was missing
yesterday.

Commission for Belgium, not counting
what has been spent for the relief of
Northern France. something like 22,-
100000 pounds sterling, at very
rough estimate. This is hard cash,
spent in purchases of foodstuffs.
fTeights, etc.
Second, in tonnage, the Allies have
teduced the tonnage at their disposal
in order to supply the needs of Bel
GUM. To give an indication of this, in
one month of 1916, ships chartered by
the Relief Commission made thirty
four voyages from Canadian, United
States and Argentine ports to Rotter-
dam, and owing to the illegal sowing
of mines by Germany on the Dutch
coast and owing to more than one
instance of the torpedoing of relief
ships, the Allies has lost some twelve
ships in the course of the relief work.
Third, indirect cost to the Allies
has been even greater. In spite of all
efforts to protect Belgian supplies and
property, the Germans have taken
large amounts of livestock and food
stuffs from the country. From time to
time the neutral commission has sue
ceeded in shutting down upon the seiz-
ures, but there have been continual
"reminiscences OF these. and at the
present moment the Germans again
have begun to export livestock, and
foodstuffs from Belgium.
Far more serious, however, has
been the gigantic financial robbery car
ried on by the Germans in Belgium.
This now mast amount, at a very
rough estimate, to $500, 100000 francs
say $5oo,0Oo,o 600.
More serious still, if possible, have
been the German seizures OF raw ma
terials and machinery of every kind.
To sum up: The indirect cost to the
Allies has been that of relieving the
Germans of all responsibility for the
maintenance of over seven million
people, whom, under international law
they were obliged to feed and maintain
in health, and whom. moreover, they
otherwise actually would have had
either to feed or to deport wholesale,
since it is impossible from a military
point of view, to have starving pop
rlation on the lines of communication
of great army.
