KILLS SEA-LIONS
 AND.GETS BOUNTY

Astoria, Ore, Aug. 27-William I'M. Hunter, known here as "king" of i'sea-lion hunters, recently collected $SS0 bounty from the state for 352
 sea-lion scalps, paid at the rate of
 $2.50 each. Bounty is paid on the Ssea-lions because they are consider i ed the Pacific Coast salmons worst
 enemy. They gather off the mouth of the Columbia river here to prey son fish bound upstream.
 Sea-lion hunting Is dangerous, Hunter says and he tells of marrow yescapes from angry bulls. Seals, he
 asserts, are not as awkward as they
 appear but can travel fast.
 Recently one chased him over the trocks but was killed by Hunters s }companion before 1t reached him.

BAR ASSOCIATION
 ON PRESIDENTIAL. INAUGURATION

z St. Louis, Aug. 27-The long period between the election of the President of the United States and his inaugu- ration Is "a serious evil fraught with much danger" according to the re- port of the Special Committee on the Change in Date of the Presidential Inauguration. presented today to the convention of the American Bar As sociation, in session here.
 The report recommends that the period be shortened, and that the short term of the old Congress be eliminated. It. however. does not sug- gest any other date for the inaugura- ton, explaining that March has been recognized by constitutional amend ment as the date of inaugural. It adds:
 The committee, however, is of the opinion that it is the duty of this as- eociation representing the great body of lawyers of the country to call the attention of Congress to those provi- sions of the law and of the constitu- ton which are fraught with serious danger and which are liable to bring humiliation and disaster to the repub- lic!"
 It states that the period between election and inauguration is "1iable to leave the administration in hands which have been discredited by a pop ular vote of want of confidence and that such a situation greatly weakens the prestige of the government both at home and abroad.
 '"The three months session of the old Congress occurring after a new Congress has been elected is also most unsatisfactory and serves as an op- portunity for partisan activity of the v0<yYsyt kiDd''

Hunter works from a small launch while at sea. Much of his hunting is done on rocky beaches where seals nsregate. He learned his trade as he terms it, as a mountaineer hunt ing bear and deer in the Cascade Mountains.
 In addition to the government bounty Hunter is paid by salmon cannery- men for destroying seals. Estimated on the 1919 pack the rate of the can nery bounty would be about $2.000

THE TREND OF PRICES

The Philadelphia Reserve Bank
complies at the end of each month a
tabular synopsis Of the trend in the
various industries. Agricultural pro-
duction and prices are not included
but the summary for sixteen other
trades, all except coal being manufac-
lures, gives an interesting picture.
Classified by various tests, seven of
these industries, chiefly textile and
leather, show downward trend of
prices; in two the tendency is un-
certain; in three, including steel and
iron, it is firm; in four, including coal
harware, pottery and tobacco, it is
distinctly upward. This analysis gives
an idea of the rather unusual varia
ton of the business situation as a
whole. But the actual conditions are
more clearly indicated by the state
ment that in nine of the sixteen in
dustrles the outlook is "uncertain:"
in four, including steel and iron, it is
influenced by good demand" but Gun
certain output" while in only three is
the prospect for the rest of the wear
described as "good."
