SOCkeyc Run DepIctpd

me tale OF the soclleye depletion is
'oid III the fact that the years of the
great quadrennial run of this species
nave shown a drop of from over
100000 cases in 1913 to 100000
cases i'll 1917; but the public IS not
so we'll acquainted with the fact that
the humpb2ck run has suffered near
~ II not quite as much. In 1913
humpback salmon were hardly fished
for, and those that were caught sold
at from a cent to cent and a half
apiece, and in many instances were
pid for and thrown away. Four
yers later they were intensively fished
FOR and commanded an average price
of some 23 cents each, while by 1919
they had risen to an average price of
50 cents and in some instances COM
manded as high as As cents per fish
So intensive was the fishing for
humpbacks carried on in 1917 and
1919 that very few reached the hatch
cry streams and their natural spawn
ing grounds.
The decrease is graphically shown
by the figures of the egg take of this
species by the United States bureau
Of fisheries, who have have hatcheries
on those Washington streams to which
the humpbacks resort in the largest
numbers. From take of 42,161,6 500
eggs in 1915 the ydropped to IT,
315.500 in 1917 and to only $4,000
in 1919.
The egg take in the Washingto
state hatcheries of the humpback
species dropped from 6,143.600 in
1915 to 2.2S5,050 in 1919
These were the facts confronting
the state fisheries board, and when
taken in conjunction with the fact
that the pack in 1919 was only about
so per cent Of what it was in 1917
undoubtedly Influenced them to the
decision that if the humpback salmon
run is to rehabilitated and perpetu-
ated immed ate and effective action
is necessary.
The establishment of closed sea-
son from October 26 to May l of the
following year is to permit of a
larger number of silverside. chum or
dog and steelhead salmon escaping
to the hatchery streams and natural
spawning grounds.

ILLINOIS FARMERS
STICK TO WOOL POOL

SPRINGFIELD. Ill, July 19.-
illinois farmers are preparing for a
huge wool pool this year, according
so officials of the state agricultural
association, who had charge OF the
pool last year
One lliOn and q half pounds of
wool were pooled in the state last
year. Fl. w. Mumford, director of
the live stock marketing bureau of
the Illinois Agricultural Association,
declares that future state wide CO.
operation in the marketing of wool
was assured by the way farmers held
together last year despite one of the
fastest falling markets in many years
Growers who polled their wool n
1920 received from to Is cents
more a pound than farmers who dis
posed individually of their wool, ac-
cording to the reports of farm bureau
advisors. Hhile unorganized farm
ers were selling their wool for from
L " w l NChto u Pouhu, thC StotO pun
was holding two-thirds of IT'S stock
for prices from 25 to so cents a
pound.
Orders for sacks so far this year
are already far ahead of the total
orders of last year, and two cars Of
wool have been received in Chicago
from Hancock and LaSalle counties.
Illinois, although standing tenth in
wool production, is one of the 10
states that are organizing wool polls
for 1921. These state pools are the
forerunnsrs of q national pool that
will insure better price for all wool
growers in the United States, accord
ing to farm bureau officials.
One hundred thousand pounds Of
the wool pooled in Illinois was sent to
lspinning mills last January for farm
ers who had ordered blankets, suits,
overcoats and auto robes to be made

WORST OVER
AND BRAZIL SEES
PROSPERITY
BR MILES W. VAUGHN

RIO DE JANIERO-(By Mail -
-, 1t is the general opinion in we'll in
formed business circles that the
worst stage Of the present financial
and commercial crisis in Brazil has
been passed, and that conditions from
now on will show gradual improve
ment until a new and stable basis for
international commercial relations is
reached.
Several factors have contributed to
the recent rlpples of optimism in
commercial circles. The success OF
the $25,0OO,000 Brazilian loan,, just
floated in New York, is, Of course,
the most ratifying indication. Com
mercial circles here interpret the fact
that the loan was over-subscribed In
three hours as proof that the for
eign credit of the republic is still
sound IN the United States.
The slight Improvement in ex-
change, resulting from the loan. and
the gradual increase in the price OF
coffee also have provided ammuni-
ton for optimists.
The present crisis apparently IS
affecting the northern states worse
than any other district. Dispatches
from Para and Pernambuco declare
that the rubber and cocoa markets
virtually have disappeared--offerings
finding few buyers at any price.
In Sac Paulo, the "Bulwark of the
Nation, the critical condition has
been aggravated by the recent cattle
plague, which has necessitated the
Killing Of hundreds of valuable anil
mails and has ruined some farmers.
American meat packing companies,
which now are operating extensively
in Sac Paulo and Rio Grande de Sui,
have been especially hard hit, since
stopped all export ship
ments and butchering had to be sus-
pended.
However, the optim'sts declare
that the "Rinderpest" now is virtually
stamped out, the coffee markets i'm
proving, the foreign credit OF the
country established and that all signs
point to gradual business recovery

DISPLAY APPLY SHOWS
INVENTIVE PROGRESS
l.. f. Titus Window Exhibits Improve.
ments in FOl1ls, Guns, COuches
and Photographs

One of the very interesting window
displays is to be seen in the windows
of the l.. E. Titus display room, where
there are samples of machines show
ing the wonderful strides which in
vention has made in perfecting mod
ern utilities.
First among them are shown a
model 1895 Ford runabout SIDE by
side with the newest model Of Ford
coupe. The old one is fitted with oil
lamps, the rear springs are buggy
spings and tn body very much resem-
bles buggy. Their are no running
boards, but the usual buggy iron step
instead. The front axle has not
changed, and the hood has no hinge
but consists of single piece. The
tires for both front and rear wheels
are 80 by 8 inches.
Quite as startling change may he
noticed in the old and new models Of
the Edison monograph, loaned by the
Rabeck Music Co. The old one is a
very small affair indeed as compared
with the latest model.
An old bicycle of the vintage OF
1885, loaned by Dan Murphy, stands
beside the last word in bicycles from
Waddle's Bike Shop. The old high
wheel has been forgotten by almost
all except the older citizens.
George Talcott furnished old guns
and a powder horn and shot pouch
known to be at least 101 years old
and old revolvers, loaned by R. w
Davis, are compared to the latest
new models of these weapons, fur
nished by Miles & Scofield.
An old couch which used to be very
aristocratic looks very small and old
fashioned when compared with the
handsom new couch furnished by the
Kelley Furniture Co.
Really the comparison OF the ole
'th the new articles makes a very
Instructive lesson for anyone who

conveniences which we now enjoy
were only just beginning to be devel-

ORDER CURTAILINC
FISHING FOR SALMON
CAUSES DISCUSSION
State Fisheries Board Seal, p,,,,.,,
itation OF supply for Great
Industry

SEATTLE. July 19.-"Tha orda,,
OF the state fisheries board closing all
salmon fishing on Puget Sound from
August 26 to September Is and from
October 26 to May of the follows, y
year is the subject Of more d 'scussion
than any other order made by it since
it came into official existence on Anril
l last according to l.. II. Darwin
secretary of the board of state super-
visors of fisheries.
THE reason for this. of course is
that it curta'ls salmon fishing to a
much greater extent than it has ever
before been curtailed in the history
of the state. The cessation of fishing
operations between August 26 and
September Is will not only permit a
considerable percentage of the last
OF the sockeye run to reach the
spawning grounds, providing the
Canadian fishery officials will estab-
fish a similar closed season, but it
will permit of IS to IS per cent of the
humpback salmon escaping to the
hatchery and spawning streams.
while the order of the state fish
cries board has been made without
any reference to similar action by
the Canadian fishery officials, it is
the sincere hope of the board that
the Canadian officials will take SIM
liar action.
1.-THE action of the Washington
state fisheries board, consisting of
Chairman E. A. Sims, Captain Harry
Ramwsll and E. P. Blake, has demon
strated the sincerity of their desire to
rehabilitate these great runs. AS the
great percentage of these species re-
turn to the Canadian streams for
spawning purposes, it is obvious that
results depend upon similar action by
the Canadian fishery officials"
Reports which reach the American
side are to the effect that pressure is
being exerted upon the Canadian au-
thorities to match the efforts of the
Washington state fisheries board.

MIDDLE WEST LEADS
IN TOTAL NUMBER OF
FOREIGN FARMERS
Among Foreign Whites in State Of
Washington, Swedes Lead by
Wide Margin

The state department of agricul-
ture has been analysing some figures
from a recent census balletin, showing
the number of white farmers of for
e'gn birth in the different states of the
Union. One of the significant facts is
that nearly 10 per cent Of all of the
farmers in the United States are OF
foreign birth. Another is that the
number of native white farmers in
creased but 81 per cent during the
decade.
The foreign born whites are N the
greatest number in the states of the
Middle West. Minnesota leads all
others in number Of foreign born
farmers, with 6I.305; Wisconsin is
next with 53,968; followed by Michi-
gan, 4s264. North Dakota comes
next in order with 36248. Consider
ing the relative total populations, it
is probable that the foreign born
farmers of North Dakota make up a
bigger percentage Of the farming
population than they do in any of the
states which lead in actual number Of
such farmers.
Southern Farmers Natives
The Southern states, with the ex-
ception Of Texas, have negligible
number of farmers of foreign birth.
South Carolina Is lowest on the list
with 141. of whom SO are Germans by
birth. Washington has 1881 white
farmers of foreign birth. the greatest
number of whom are Swedes. 1921.
with Germans a close second 3,OO1.
Norwegians occupy third place and
Canadians fourth.
In Wisconsin the Germans predom-
mate, with Norwegians second. In
Minnesota, Swedes are in the lead,
but closely followed by Norwegians
and Germans. In Michigan Canadians
lead in numbers, with Germans sec
ond. In North Dakota, the Norwe-
gians lead with 10000 and. singularly
enough, Russians occupy second place
with $500. No other country, save
Norway alone, furnishes even one
half as many farmers to the popula-
ton Of North. Dakota as does Russia.
