have just returned from a camp on
the Pedernales river, IS miles vest
of this city. In this party were sew
eral men who have been up against
many rattlesnakes, but this is the
first time that any OF them made the
discovery thta a rattlesnake fed on
fish.
According to the story a throw line
baited with small perch had been put
out into the river One Of the party
fishing with rod and reel, later had
pulled the throw line party in to get
it out of the way. and / ndoing this
one hook, still baited with perch, was
left hanging above the water. The
next morning a huge rattlesnake was
found on the exposed hook. It Is stat
ed that the snake was as large around
as the arm Of the average man. The
snake was killed and the perch,
which had attracted 1t to the hook
was found in the reptiles mouth.
The crop of snakes. especially the
rattlesnake species is larger this year
than in years. This is attributed to
the past mild winter. Moccasins
swarm the smaller creeks and there
are mocasins in the larger streams
The Colorado river has a good sized
quota. While many Of the snakes
seen in the streams are the harmless
water snakes, there Is an abundance
i'of the rusty and poisonous species Of
the moccasin.

the cost of upkeep each year; and,
experienced shipping men say, the
depreciation of an idle fleet is twice
the 5 per cent written off.
What the Figures Mem
Such figures daze the human
mind. Translated into understand
able terms here is what they mean:
The corporation which paid $75,-
900 income tax last year paid for
keeping this fleet on the mudflats
for slightly longer than n hour
and its money was gone.
The business men who paid ST.
900 income tax last year paid for
keeping this fleet on the mudf1ats
for less than one minute-and his
money was spent.
The laborer who paid $40 income
tax last year, paid for keeping this
fleet on the mudfats for two sec
onds-and his money was gone.
A continuous expense, day and
night for a merchant marine ma
rooned on the mudflats, of $19.7S a
second-every tick of the watch
faster than the money can be
minted.

SAN FRANCISCO, July Tt is
costing the taxpayers of America
S1,1S7.04 a minute to maintain an
American Merchant Marine-on
the mudfats.
1t cost these same taxpayers four
billions of dollars to build a feet
of ships. primarily for war pur-
poses, seco ~larily for an American
Merchant Marine.
Today practically all of these
ships are opening their seams and
rusting out their plates on 'mudhats
at Benicia, California, in Lake I'm
ion at Seattle, in the marshes at
Wilson'S Point, Long Island Sound,
and on the murky bosom of Chesa-
pcake Bay at Norfolk.
In two years it has cost the tax
ayers OF the United States ~ bill
lion. two hundred torty-eight mil
lion dollars to support this fleet of
ships-most of them in idleness-
and, as yet, nc n knows how
much more in operating losses, re-
pair bills, ETC., for those operated.
And the loss goe OF at the rate of
1924, 5000 a year-more than
half a billion dollars.
Figures Are Startling
The ships are laid up; export
business is shrinking to a shadow
of it's previous proportions: an ex-
persive fleet has become an expen-
sive liability instead of the profita-
BILE asset it was promised the Amer
lean people it would be.
The figures are startling.
The United States Shipping
Board is writing off it's books an an
nual depreciation of 5 per cent on
this four billion dollar fleet.
In other words, rusting, rotting,
falling into the waters of u bar
bcrs each yea are two hun(~ed
million dollars of the peoples
money.
The interest on that four billion
dollars is one hundred and sixty
million dollars per year. So along
with the rusting and rotting of the
two hundred million dollars goes
the one hundred sixty million dol
lars interest-three hundred and
twenty million dollars in two years.
Vast Sum For Ghost Fleet
The cost of guarding this fleet of
ghost ships and keeping them in re-
Pair and supporting an army of
accountants, is, according to a re-
cent statement of Mr.. Lasker. newly
named chairman OF the Board,
draining the peoples treasury at
the rate of twenty-five million dol
lars a month. two hundred and
sixty-four million dollars a year,
seven hundred and twenty-eight
million dollars in two years. And
thos fleet has been lying idle or op-
Grating at a loss for more than two
years.
To be added to this is the loss of
