FISH famine IS

WASHINGTON. y. C., oct. o.
The aircraft program has cut
down the supply Of fish in the
United States BY three million
pounds. Sound stranger It's a
fact II happens this way:
salt water fish have very little

A salt water fish will walk into
a net made Of cotton string and
get his gills tangled: not so "A
fresh water fish. 1t takes a linen
net to catch him.
But the government has COM
Wandered the supply Of linen for
aircraft purposes. so there Is lack
OF linen for fresh water nets. That's
what's the matter with the fresh
water fish situation.
Altogether the fish proposition IL

Another amendment authorized

Hoboken owned by German lines.
These are to be resold under

used by the government during
the war and their German owners
will not get the purchase money
until peace comes.
The government already is using
them under the power given the

Fit Punishment

EDITOR THE TIMES:
! find myself heartily in ac-
cord with your editorial of Mon
day relative to careful preserva-
ton of Kaiser Bills life after our
wild West" bunch bring him
into camp.
He should not be permitted to
see human face or hear a human
voice, and his only reading mat
ter should be copy of the Bible,
and all the authenticated stories
of atrocities for which he is re-
sponsible, with plentiful supply
of illustrations.
Then on the next island there
should be kept those so-called
loyal" citizens of our own coun-
try who loot the public funds by
drawing double" salaries for
performing what they term pa
triotic service"
Whether at Hog" island or in
Tacoma, the double salary" ma
mia ought to be choked to a fin
ish, especially at time like the
present. Has anybody got the
backbone to tackle the job?

EDITOR THE TIMES:

EDITOR THE TIMES:
In answer to George S. Longs
statement in The Times on March
/, in which he sets forth his
views on a right and wrong way
of getting out timber for ship
building, we feel we must set forth
our views, and let the public be
the judge.
The railroad of the Hercules
Sandstone Co. was built in 1915 In
connection with U. 8. govern
ment jetty contract at Grays Har-
Dor, and was operated five months,
which meant $4,000 to the Wey-
erhaeuser Timber Co.
Mr.. Long will understand that
the Hercules Sandstone Co. ex-
pected to haul forest products and
tonnage other than stone. In
fact, his name is on our contract
which distinctly provides for haul
ing forest products.
The matter of fire hazard Is no
greater now than II has been for
the past 25 years, when lumber
men from all sides have been bit
ing into this great apple, as Mr..
Long compares it.
The fact Is, the Weyerhaeuser
Timber Co. does not yet own all
of this great apple, but the varf-
tous timber holdings on the in
side of this great forest cannot
be obtained without crossing Wey-
erhaeuser's timber lands.
Mr.. Long will understand that
the Hercules Sandstone Co. does
not intend to start in the heart OF
the timber belt. but quite the con-
