MOST HAL|BUT
 EVER SEEN ARE
 BEING REPORTED
Crew of Senator Catches 6O'0OO Pounds in Two Days and Cargo Val
 ued at $9,0O0

With a capacity load of 6O,OOO pounds of hahbut caught in two days | fishing at the banks the halibut schooner Senator called in at this port yesterday afternoon.
 Not all of the load caught in the two days could be slowed between decks, SO 4,000 or 5000 pounds were on bins on deck The decks of the boat were almost awash with the surface of the water. Members of the crew said some of the rough weather encountered buried the boat in the big green combers. The Senator is a four-dory boat and the catch of 60,000 pounds of fish in two days time is without doubt record catch. The haul should be worth 5000 in Prince Rupert where the boat is bound for. After deduct ing the boats share and expenses there should remain something like $500 for each man of the crew.
 In speaking with members of the crew they said that they had never in all their experience seen anything
 
 like the numbers of halibut seen at the banks in the Gulf of Alaska There is no doubt that tho fish are running in schools many layers deep. It is not question of finding fish, it is more a question of how fast the gear can be set and taken in
 Another peculiarity of the fish now being caught is that with flaw excep- tions the fish are all first .lass ones, which means in weight between ten and 80 pounds.
 Other boats have been in the har- bor with larger catches, but they have been larger boats carrying more dories and having fished longer for their catches than the Senator.
 After taking on a small amount Of ice here the Senator proceeded on her way to Prince Rupert to sell her catch.

JERRY" TAKES A TRIP

Jerry" is a very amiable young female who was signing for the bright lights anl the excitement Of travel
 Without permission from her mas ter, R. McBrian of Juneau, Jerry boardel the Princess Mary last trip just as the gang plank was hauled off. The dog decided to go south and took no chances on being sent back to shore. She was so amiable md interesting that the crew, one by one fell for her charms. At Van couver, the third mate kindly offered to escort her uptown. While pass ing the butcher shop of his friend, Jerry forgot she was a lady. Her Alaska dog taste asserted itself and she sunk her teeth into a fine big ham that was hanging near the door to tempt other purchasers, than her self. There was no stopping her anl she dashed down the main street of Vancouver for the boat. At all events, she wanted her friends in the crew to "get in on it."
 In the meantime, her master, MT. McBrian, discovered, her whereabouts and immediately wired the company to send the culprit back home.
 She arrived Wednesday mornin, overjoyed to see Mir. McBrian, and none the worse for her experience.

TNHE Wanamaker Store as it stands today is one
l. individuals contribution to the commercial
greatness, the dignity and the fame of Philadel
phia Like many other works of man, it was once
a vision in a young mind, but, unlike many other
visions, it was wrought into reality-not, how
ever, without long and patient toll and thought.
1t is much easier to build great store than to
build great institution
TO be great store and at the same time a
great institution is to be thing of great public
interest.
A store of that kind must have an atmosphere,
a pervading individuality. Moreover, it can have
no duplicates
And it is always ITSELF never looking any
where else for inspiration or guidance.
Our friends who best know this store tell us
they can easily feel the individuality of it. You
cannot find much individuality in an institution
unless it has vision back Of it. This store is the
working out in practice of an independent ideal
the outcome of that particular kind of concen-
trated vision belonging to mind that can trust
itself to go forward upon new and unexplored
paths
This is true leadership, and we want to tell of
some of the things that have come of it, hoping
that our Knights Templar friends and their ladies
will be interested by them and that they will feel
free and welcome to take advantage of all the
hospitalities and courtesies we can offer.

The Institutional Life of

The Meadow Folk Thought the Twins
We're Wonderful.

Bobtail went around among their friends
collecting anything they happened to
have that they might want.
The meadow folks had enjoyed the
circus so much that they soon filled the
twins pockets, and were sorry when
tho sun began to sink behind the hills.
They had never seen a real circus be-
fore, and they hated to see the bunny
twins go home.
TITS almost dark" whispered Bobtail,
land mama will certainly scold US"
Yes, but look at tho money we've
got" squeaked Colonial. wen take
the short cut and get home quickly"
This they did, but darkness fell as
they ran, and Bobtail and Cottontail
found 1t very hard picking their way
among the brambles and briars. When
they at last reached home their pretty
new suits were all tattered and torn.
and Mama Rabbit was in tears.
She didn't scold them as some mamas
do She Just made them wear tho same
old torn suits the rest OF the season, and
this was the end OF Bobtairs and Cot
tontaifs circus days.

Bobtail and Cottontal were very
proud of their new suits as they started
off to school.
Now be careful OF your clothes and
come right home from school," said
Mama Rabbit. kissing them good-by.
Bobtail and Colonial promised and

Bobtail needed no coaxing, so off
