Sockeye Salmon, Each
Tagged and Numbered,
Ready for Big Race

Seattle, wash.-Ten thousand en-
trants, all tagged aud numbered. are
entered in a race against time over a
course lying between the Straits Of
Juan de Fuca, Haro Strait, Rosario
Strait and the Strait OF Georgia and
the Fraser River. Entries have been
strictly limited to sockeye salmon.
The judges are officials OF the United
States Bureau of Fisheries.
The ordinary muslin tags were not
used owing to the dampness of the
course. Each entrant is identified
with a button fixed to his or her tail.
No favor!tes have been listed and all
entrants are dark horses"
When the racers arrive In the
Fraser River on their way to the
spawning waters. they will be caught
and their time taken. Each fish Is
worth an extra twenty-five cents to
the fisherman who takes 1t from the
water.
1t Is expected by this means i'm
portant data will ne obtained on how
long II takes the sockeye to reach
the Fraser after they enter Puget
Sound. The information is sought to
establish the time that fishing should
be forbidden so as to give. a part of
the sockeye run chance to get up
the river to their natural spawning
waters.

BANK SURPLUS
SUFFERS DROP
U. S. Steel Holds Lead at
Close with Market
Very Strong.
By BRoADAN WALL.

New York. Aug. s1.-The actual
bank statement today showed sur
plus decreased s4.o27.4so: loans de-
creased ss1.s7s.0oo and demand de-
posits increased s45.252.6oo. The
average statement showed reserves
increased ssss7.7so: loans decreased
sis.22s.ooo and net demand deposits
increased s27.s3o. 900.
Opening quiet the market gained
in activity and strength and closed
very strong under leadership Of
United States steel and standard
railroads Steel gained more than
q point and was closely followed by
Republic, Gulf States. Crucible and
Baldwin. Union Pacific and South
ern Railway preferred were the
favored rails. Missouri Pacific.
Rock Island and New York Central
were other strong points.
War News Holds Good.
War news was good although when
the exchange closed there had been TO
particularly spectacular feature. The
advance Of the troops was exceeding
" cheering and traders expressed
hope of much marked Improvement
for the coming week.
In q few important investment
houses the advice was given witho'H
Qualification to buy the rails
once. The reason was that the eos
tracts with the Government will b
signed soon and that concessions will
be made that will safeguard all in
vestors.
Buying Of the rails was due not so
much to the signing Of the contracts
as to the fine net earnings reported
for July. Take Southern Railway for
instance. That road showed earn
ings for the one month equal to an
annual rate Of - per cent on the COM
mon stock. No wonder Il was a
market favorite. Not only did local
banking interests pick It up but there
was foreign buying OF the stock said
to be coming from Holland.
Delaware and Hudson Better.
Delaware and Hudson made a splen-
did showing. 1t Is now reasonably
sure that this road will show actual
earnings Of about 2 per cent for the
entire year.
Pennsylvania showed a rate OF %
per cent FOR july. which Is 10 per cent
more than for the previous July. This
means that Pennsylvania Is coming
back as an investment favorite, as
well ii might.
Wall Street seems to be alarmed
by the report from Washington that
Secretary McAdoo had lost in his ef-
fort to secure more reasonable tax
rates. He viii go to the Senate and
no doubt win because the rate as
fixed will produce several hundred
million dollars more OF money than
needed.
A letter received from a machine
gun officer now in France was the
center of much interest in the Street
today. This officer told his folks that
Cen PershinS recently reviewed the
company, and in a little speech said:
Mon. II will be Heaven, hell or
home for you by Christmas time"

Henry johnson, Civil War
veteran about 10 years of age, died
Thursday morning from cancer.
For some years he had been a

Mr.. johnson had been a resi-
dent of this section for about 80
years. He leaves a wife and seven
grown children in Pennsylvania,
a brother in the same state, and
brother Martin in Lawson.

1.-TWO BiddieS
On A Raft

That is the exact translation
made the other day, by waiter
in local restaurant when patron
asked for two poached eggs on
toast"
An echo in like strain came
from amidst crash of tin pans in
the kitchen.
The patron received Just what
he ordered.
How we envy people who have
the faculty of being able to under
stand each other, even tho plain
facts are expressed in unfamiliar
form.
This very point is being brought
out every day when we consider
the people who could if they
would' understand the present
plight of the public utilities thru
out the country.
The utilities devil" and deep
blue sea" are represented by enor-
mously increased cost of labor
and materials on one hand and
frozen line of rate restriction on
the other. There is one, and only
one, way out-increased rates.
