SALMON HAD TRAVELLED FAR
Fish Tagged" at Point Partridge,
Washington, In 1918, Taken in
Waters 600 Miles Distant.

The Canadian department of marine
and fisheries has notified the bureau of
fisheries OF the United States Depart
ment Of Commerce of the capture in
the Skeena river, British Columbia, in
the spring OF 1920, Of a chinook sal
mon bearing an aluminium button or
tag with the letters "B. f." stamped
on one side and the number 1911" On
the other. An examination of the bu-
reau's records shows that the tag In
question, one of special series en-
plOyed In connection with an investi-
CATION Of the rate and route of migra-
tion Of the sockeye salmon in the Fra
ser river-Puget sound region, was at
tached to fish at Point Partridge,
whitley island, Wash, on August IL,
1918. 1t is now evident that the fish
was chinook salmon tagged by mis-
take.
The fact that chinook salmon
should be caught In shore trap far
from the sea two years sfter the fish
attained the spawning condition is In
teresting and suggestive, and the wan
derings OF this fish before and after
tagging would be fascinating theme
for speculation. The distance between
the two points at which it came under
observation is about 600 miles by the
most direct water route.

atives in Washington in accordance
with the instructions of the state con.
ference of the Near East Relief in con

in Milwaukee:
WHEREAS, The suffering and sor'
row that have been and are still be.
ing entailed. on the people of Armenia.
through the fendish cruelty and bar.
barous treatment of the Turk, are
such as should awaken the conscience
of the civilized world to effect rem.
edy, and
WHEREAS, The generous contri.
buttons of relief from the citizens OF
the United States have thus far saved
Armenia from destruction as a nation
and as they were our staunch and
valiant allies in the world war, sacri
ficing more in proportion to popula
ton than any other of the allied coun
tries, losing more than 100000 OF
their male citizens and leaving hun
dreds of thousands of helpless women
and orphans, who must be provided
for if saved from starvation, therefore
be it
RESOLVED, BY this conference of
Near East Relief delegates in conven-
ton assembled, representing every
county in Wisconsin, that we respect.
fully petition and urgently request
Congress to take such steps as may be
necessary to provide relief for the
stricken Armenians and protection
from the Turk hereafter. We ask this
as protection for the investments that
we have made and are still making in
Armenia and in response TO those ties
of bloody sacrifice made in the same
cause with the sons of Wisconsin and
the United States and we ask it in
the name of common humanity and
the obligations of Christian civiliza
tion."

them on drug store corners"
