The Salmon Industry

1t costs $3.50 a thousand to
produce young salmon at a hatch
cry and a full grown salmon is
worth about So. SO apiece.
The direct return to the state
for money invested in fish hatch
cries is about fifty per cent a
year. The hatcheries are built
by the state but are operated by
the salmon fisheries through di-
rect tax on their products under
a Joint agreement.
AS an illustration, the fisher
les of Oregon turned out over
six million dollars last year and
will easily double that with in
creased hatcheries.
Contrast such an industry and
the employment it gives to labor
and the food supply it furnishes
with state expenditures for some
other things.
Salmon Matching is a business
proposition from stocking the
streams to sending to markets Of
the world its finest food supply.

HOlbrOOk Chamber Of
Commerce HOnOrs Boys
Who Serve Country

At the open meeting of the
Holbrook Chamber of Commerce
which was recently held in the
Pastime theatre motion made
by Attorney w. E. Ferguson
was unanimously passed which
gives parents or relatives of
boys who are in the United
States army or navy the priviI-
ege of having the latter made
Honorary members of the or
ganiZation. The names can be
handed in to the membership
committee or to any of the Off
GERS, and there will be no mem
bership fee or dues exacted from
the boys who are serving their
country. Now that the war is
over, the disposition to forget
the boys who responded to the
country's call is becoming alto
gether too pronounced, and this
action of the Chamber will doubt
less be appreciated as a deserved
compliment.
On suggestion of H. D. Lore,
it was also decided that the min
listers. priests and bishops of all
the churches in Navajo county
have the same privilege of hon
orary membership, without fees
or dues.

Demands That Are
Revolutionary

A radical at the Chicago Labor
convention said: I'VE will stop
every wheel in the land and make
the country look like an Arizona
desert. "

sentences.
W. D. Dunn. the Butte radical
labor leader, said of the univer-
sal strike to take place July 4th:
This general strike is revolu-
ton. 1t strikes at the power of
the courts.
In the three hours debate
President Wilson's name was
Kissed and the Fourth of July
was sneeringly referred to as
"the masters holiday"
The American Federation of
Labor will be asked to endorse
the general strike ordered July 4.
