the Pribilof Islands.
Or. hanna has been connected with
silis work each year since 1913. In
1919 1t was reported that there were
1000 animals in the herd. In 1910,
when the government first took )over
the operation of the island industry,
there were less than 200 900. During
the time when this increase was taking
place enough surplus and useless males
nave been killed and their skins sold
az auction to provide the national treas
ury with 900 above all expenses,
according to w. w. Sargent, secretary
OF the California Academy OF Sciences
The purpose of the census is chiefly
20 determine how many animals can
be safely removed each year and still
provide for a maximum percentage of
increase Of the herd. If the increase
in 1920 continues as heretofore, 1t is
said that there should be about 100000
of these amphibious fur bearers, by
far the largest herd in existence, as
well as surplus of about 10000 males,
which can be killed for their skins. At
current prices of these furs they will
be valued at about 100000.

that this industry is one of the best,
If not the best, financial enterprise the
government has," said Sargent, and
It is capable. of almost unlimited ex-
pansion, provided the females are pro-
tected at sea and the surplus males
are removed from the herd. The fighting
of such males on the crowded rookeries
causes a large mortality among the fe-
males and young.
THE carcasses of the animals killed
were formerly allowed to waste, but
last year a by-products plant was put
into operation, by means of which it
is expected very superior oil and ami
NAL meal will be placed on the market.
The census which will be taken this
year will enable a close approximation
TO be made of the quantities Of these
products, which will be available in
the immediate future"

from wounds sustained in an encounter
with mountain lions, the details Of
which are more thrilling than fiction
Recently Martin, at sunup, drove his
flock of sheep toward the mountain
summit. Mounting on crag, from
which he could watch their grazing,
he was confronted by mountain lion
ess. Drawing his revolver, the shep-
herd fired four shots as the lioness
closed in on him. Her furious leap
knocked the revolver from his hand,
and, with knife, he fought for his
life.
1t was an unequal battle. and quick
~ he lost consciousness. Hours later
he regained consciousness to find him
self in the lions cave, with her cubs
feeding upon his ears and fingers. The
lioness was stretched dead at the en-
trance of the cave.
Both of Martins ears are gone, and
ms hands are badly-mangled, but other
wise he has practically recovered from
his experience.

MOSCOW HIGH TEAM
PLAYED GOOD GAME
HELD w. S. C. FRESHMEN TO 20
% SCORE IN HARD FOUGHT
Ps CONTEST ~

One of the best basket ball games
played in Moscow in a long time was
that of the w. S. c.. freshmen from
Pullman and the Moscow high school
in the high scool gymnasium Friday
nigt. The game was hard fought
and closely fought from start to fin
ish. At the end of the first half the
score was 10 to in favor of Moscow.
The score was tied half minute
before the final whistle blew, each
team having 20 points to its credit.
Within the last 80 seconds the visit
ors, by lucky throw, got another
basket, and the game ended with a
22-20 score.
The W. S. C. men say that Moscow
gave them the hardest fought game
they have had this year. They beat
both Spokane high schools by big
scores and defeated Walla Walla high
school, the only high school that has
defeated Moscow, by large score.
Walla Walla defeated Moscow by
three points, % to 10, and w. S. C.
freshmen defeated Walla Walla al
most two to one. The loss of the
game to w. S. c. by so close a score
cannot be regarded asa serious de-
feat by Moscow high school, which
