Hogs, I undeStand, are being raised in small numbers, men watch ing the experiments and so far all have been most successful"

AMERICANS STOP
 HUN ATTACK WITH HEAVY ARTILLERY

WITH THE AMERICANS IN FRANCE. April il. - The Germans attempted an attack against the Americans, northwest of Foul, before sunrise this morning. The TeutoaS were completely repulsed. Two Ger man prisoners taken said that Jhy commander planned an attack using 500 men but the effective fire of the American artillery stopped the attack in full. No Americans were captured during the attack which was the heav- jest vet made. The brilliant work b. the American gunners dispersed the German infantry before it reached the wire entanglements.
 The Germans made the attack fol- lowing two days of violent artillery ing. It is believed that many Cen sns were killed and wounded in the attack which lasted for two hours.
 One of the German prisoners cap tured stated that the Teutons are greatly astonished at the artlllerymen of the Americans, their wonderful aim and also the general effectiveness of the American infantrymen. The pris- cner also said that the Teutons in the trenches dreaded to attack the Ame ri- cans more than the British or French as the Americans were fighters to the limit.

COLLECTION OF SALMON
EGGS IN ALASKA

The Bureau of Fisheries, Depar.-
ment of Commerce, announces that a
very successful collection of sockeye
salmon eggs was made at the close
of the spawning season in Alaska, for
the Afognak station, the total amount
ing to 54.6S1 900, which constitutes
the largest take of that species since
the Katmai eruption in 1912, and
seems to indicate the complete re-
covery of the stream from the dis
astrous effects of that occurrence. In
view of the encouraging situation,
commercial fishing for sockeyes by
the natives, which has been prohibited
for number of years, was resumed
on limited scale during the summer.
Humpback eggs to the number of
S.697.0 were also secured, and in
continuation of the bureaus efforts
to establish run of tn is species in
Puget Sound during the "off" year,
5.750,000 of them were sent down from
Afognak, and divided between the
Birdsview and the Hoods Canal wash
ington) hatcheries. With them came
25,S00,000 sockeye eggs, of which TO-
100000 were reshipped from Seattle
to Canadian hatcheries on the Fraser
River. The remainder will be devel-
oped at the Quinault station, in an eff
fort to build up the depleted run of
fish in streams of that region.
Though not unusually large, the
take of eggs at Yes Bay was satisfac-
tory. the total for the season compris-
ing 4S,665.000 sockeye, and 1,365.00
humpbacks. Most of the eggs of the
latter species will be shipped to the
Maine stations, in continuation of the
effort to establish the humpback in
Atlantic waters.
