They begged her for one more
song and although she was tired out
she mounted the stairs and sang

recently had the opportunity OF
making two airplane flights in the
same day, the first in one Of the COM
pletely inclosed transport machines,
the second in fighting machine which
was developed in America during the
last few months of the war and
which has speed of about 135 miles
an hour. The force exerted by the
air against any exposed surface is
about three times as great at this
speed as it is at so miles an hour.
During the first of these two trips
the only complaint that could have
been raised against conditions in the
pilots compartment would have been
that it was rather close and we
finally had TO open window in the
side of the body to secure little ven
tilation. One of the occupants of
the cabin was wearing a soft felt hat,
and not the slightest rustic of air dis
turbed the brim.
In the second flight, on the other
hand. it was only with difficulty that
could lift my head far enough out
of the gunner's cockpit to look over
the side at the ground. The instant
my head was raised above the top
line of the airplane body, so that the
wind got chance at it, my hair threat

RUIN FISH INDUSTRY
Salmon in Washington Depleted

State Fisheries Commission Urges
That They Be Barred From

mon industry, once among the lead
ers in the states activities, has been
almost depleted by the intensive fish,
ing of the last six years, L. II. Oar
win, state fish commissioner, declared
in his annual report filed with Gov.
Louis F. Hart.
Creation by the legislature Of fish,
cries commission to take full charge
of fishing operations in Washington
waters was recommended by Mr.. OAR
win.
He urged that foreigners be barred
from fishing in the state waters, be-
cause, he said, the destruction, In a
large part, has been accomplished by
persons not citizens of the United
States. During the war, he said, for
elgn fishermen banded themselves to-
gether, took the lead in the industry
and increased the prices.
Sockeye salmon runs of the Puget
sound have almost been wiped out by
the heavy fishing, the report stated.
The silverside and chum or dog salmon
have also been reduced in number.
The humpback salmon runs probably
will be attacked by the fishermen next
and, in a few years, the commissioner
predicted, they, too, probably will be
depleted.
Columbia river, Grays harbor and
Williapa harbor waters of Washing
ton have not suffered to the extent Of
Puget sound, Mr.. Darwin said, large
ly because of the greatly increased
hatchery work. But as the fishermen
are beginning to take immature
salmon and are preventing the fish
from reaching their spawning grounds,
It is probable these waters will suffer
more in the near future.

stream. The glare Of the campfire
was beginning to slither upon the drip
ping oar blades and the ripples they
raised when the Boss laid the boat
nearer the south shore with the re-
mark:
Here's where we're expectin' t.
hist tn sinners tomorrow-all along
here. Jist look at tn tracks. Make q
right smart track, don't they, fer a
beast without no feet?"
The Pearlhunter made no answer
Crouched down by the jack light we'll
toward the bow of the boat, he had
been for some time watching the un-
usually thick tangle of winding marks
upon the Shiny bottom, plowed there
by the mussels or clans while feed
ing, dozens and hundreds of the creep
ing bivalves, half buried In the ooze,
at that very moment dotting the river
bed.
The Boss was in the very act of
turning the boat across the river to
the camp when he was startled by an
excited exclamation from his compan-
lon, who had suddenly leant low and
dangerously far out over the water.
He was up on the instant and had
flashed the jack light around the boat.
In his dripping hand there was an i'm
mense river mussel.
The old Boss had no sooner caught
the bluish-purple glitter shedding from
the hinge knobs of the giant bivalve
than he uttered shout that walked
the echoes up and down the river
shore, and brought the five men at the
Mmp running down to the waters

"a Blue Moonl' he yelled. "By the
gods, a Blue Moon !"
He snatched 1t from the hand of his
companion and held 1t under the full
glare Of the Jack light. Next moment
he had handed 1t back and was driv-
ing the boat to shore, where the first
glance at the peculiar markings OF the
mussel Instantly threw the whole
camp into the widest excitement.
They spread down by the light Of
the fire the whitest cloth the camp af-
forded, and the Boss cut the mussel
open. One pearl, large, lustrous,
dropped out upon the cloth and lay
fwinkling up into their faces like
farlen star. 1t passed from hand to
hand, the pearl fishers struggling with
each other for the privilege of holding

The Boss slipped an oar into the
water and laid the boat more toward
the south shore, over the deepest part
Of the bar. Hardly had he done 80

point of his spear. The outline OF an
immense black bass took shape under
