lived almost entirely on insects and
insect larvae. It 10. therefore. obvious
that the different species do not, In
the least, interfere with the feeding
habits Of each other. Their feeding
habits indicate that they live in diff
ferent parts of the lake. This fisn
has been regarded as. land-locked
variety of the sockeye, but there
seems to be no just reason why it
should be so considered. as. in such
lakes as Washington, Sammamish
and Whatcom, where 1t is native,
there are no barriers whatever to
prevent its passing to the salt water,
which lies at most but few miles
from it's home in these lakes. So far,
our observations indicate that the fish
do not go to salt water, but spend
its period OF growth in the lakes, and
then at maturity. for spawning pur-
poses, enters the streams that flow
into the lakes. During it's period of
growth in the lakes the fish is of a
bright silvery color and shows none
of the characteristics observed in the
sockeye when 1t enters fresh water.
But at maturity the silver trout takes
on all the characteristics of it's Fraser
River relations, even though it does
travel a mile up the stream from the
axe to the place where it spawns.
This fish does not always seek q
stream flowing into the lake in which
spawn. but 1t has been observed
going down the stream which empties
its home lake.
Compares Feeding Habits.
1.-THE feeding habits of the silver
trout were compared with those Of
the cutthroat and bass. The silver
trout fed almost entirely on floating
microscopic forms principally Cope
poda and Cladocera). while the trout

LACE AND JENSBERG FREED
MANSLAUGHTER CHARGE
Judge Crosby Fines Them $3.50 and
Costs for Illegal Possession

SUStS hut IllcBdl POSSESSION
Of Liquors.
The maximum fine Of $3.50 and
costs was imposed upon Walter Lace
and Herbert Jensberg, two former
Seattle taxi cab drivers, by Judge
Crosby, Friday afternoon for having
had liquor in their possession at the
time of the automobile accident Oct
ober 8. on the Pacific highway near
Plum Station, when Walter Eyres,
the third member of the party was
instantly killed. The charge Of man
slaughter against Walter Lace, driver
Of the car. which was filed by Prose-
cutting Attorney Thomas L. O'Leary,
was dismissed after an afternoon
argument on the matter.
Judge William A. Gilmore, of Seat
tie, attorney for the Seattle Taxi Cab
company Of which Lace and Jensberg
were both drivers, represented the
defendants. Both O'Leary and Gil
more stated their final argument be-
fore the court that they did not find
Walter Lace guilty Of manslaughte as
evidence was not sufficient to bind
Lace over to the higher court.
The testimony Of the various wit
nesses each pointed out to the court
that the conduct of the defendants
prior to the accident was that of in
toxication. Witnesses who testified
that they saw the boy before and after
the accident and were certain that
they were intoxicated when the acct
dent happened were James T. McDan-
lei, and DR.. Kenneth L. Partlow, who
brought the defendant to Olympia.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Sheehan who were
the first to arrive at the scene Of the
wreck and Mayor Jesse T. Mills, who
in the capacity Of county coroner,
visited the scene Of the accident short
~ after It happened and found pint
of "moonshine'' In the car.
Lace. who is in his early twenties,
served overseas for two years as a
motorcycle dispatch bearer. After his
honorable discharge from the army
he served a. 4 starter and checker
for ttp Seattle Taxfcab company.
Jensberg had been In the employ OF
the company az driver for the past
four months.
On the Saturday Of the accident
Lace and Jensberg had planned 70
visit the Puyallup fair. Lace hired
q large Cadillac "s" from a friend
and together he and Jensberg stated
for the fair. Before they left town,
however, Jensberg. who was close
friend Of Walter Eyres. the victim of
the accident. suggested that they take
Eyres with them. so the two drove
back to the warehouse where Eyers
was employed and picked him ND.
Both defendants admitted on the wit
ness stand that they had a bottle
and had been drinking, but as to
the accident, their minds were rather
hazy. except that they mistook the red
danger signal for tail light of a.
mother car.
Walter Eyres was 26 years of age
and nephew Of Walter Eyres, ST.,
head of the Eyres Storage and Dis
tributing company in Seattle. He
served through the entire was as a
soldier in the British army.

i Lice Infection Not Serious.
The silver trout in Lakes Sam
mamish and Washington are rather
heavily parasitized, externally will
fish lice and internally with larva
tape worm. In Lake Whatcom 4,
small percent Of the fish have larva
tape worms. but are without fish lice

parasites to be transmitted directly
from parent to offspring.
The fish lice infection was not
such as to do very serious harm to the
fish. But few of the lice were act.
ually fastened to the gills, the greater
number being attached to the tissues
IN the neighborhood Of the gills. The
great menace to the health of the fish
Is the presence Of large numbers Of

fish.
Transplanted Offspring Larger.
Our Investigations have shown
that the offspring Of native silver
trout. when transplanted in lakes
previously unoccupied by this Ash,
grow to be much larger and finer than
their parents. The following table
shows, this fact clearly: Lakes in
which the fish are native, Lake

Government Wheat Control Ends

Washington, June I-federal
control of wheat and wheat pro
ducts ended today, the wheat a.
rector ceasing to function under
| the limitation of the law creating
his office and the food admin
stration control ending by procla-
nation of President Wilson.
This means the passing OF the
government guarantee OF $40 a
bushel for wheat. As soon as
some remaining contracts are
carried out by the united States
grain corporation, that body VIII
turn over its finances to the
treasury department.
Licensing of dealers in wheat
and wheat products has been IN
the hands of the wheat director
and the food administration and
this automatically ended today.
Dealels without fixed contracts
are free to buy and sell at such
prices as conditions warrant.

$50 to church Sunday This
advice has been given millions OF
times, yet with some it has never
been headed. Possibly there was
flaw in the giving. 1t may not
have contained that simple and
appealing note Of humanity
which draws the one who needs
it most. Yet there is no one so
hardened and so sinful but what
he can enjoy an hour in the
church on Sunday. Some who
stray in accidentally become reg
ular attendants in time. The
story of the Man of Men grips
them. 1t is more thrilling than
the wierdest fiction ever penned
and each Sunday you hear new
chapter in the life history Of this
man who was Of flesh and blood
and yet was the offspring of di-
vinity. Go to church Sunday. 1t
will be good for you, and it will
do others good to welcome you
there.

Every community has it's spirit
With some it is one Of honor and
integrity and progressive intel
lectuality. With others the spir-
il of greed, gouge repression and
retrogression predominates. The
first attains its aim in life, while
the latter aims no higher than
that which it attains. We of this
community have our choice. We
can progress with the march of
time. or we can procrastinate
while time marches by. This is
an age when men do things, or
they do nothing. There is no mid
die of the road course. The man
who has the viii to grasp his OPP
portunities also has the power to
make them. That is what we
should do.

PARALYZING THE NAIL SER
VICE.

Congress should come to the re
lief of the postmasters and The
postal employees of the country
The pay is so small and the cost
of living is so high that exper.
fenced men are resigning at an
alarming rate in this branch OF
the public service 1t is Gripping
the mails and retarding business
to serious extent, and creating
a state of public uneasines over
the country. Congress appoints
committees to investigate and the
committees consume much time
in palavering, and that is about
as far as they 60. The post EN-
ployees continue to exist on small
pay, or quit, and the service be-
comes more crippled through the
employment Of new and inexper-
fenced help.
We have no fault to find with
the postal service itself. We be-
lieve it is doing all that it can do
under seriously handicapping
conditions. We do not believe
that any business enterprise
could long continue to exist UNI
der these same conditions. The
laborcr is worthy Of his hire the
world over, and SO long as en-
ployees in the marts Of trade are
receiving high wages to meet the
advanced cost of living, the mani
