lions this season, 1t was announced
by G. r. Pollock of the state fisheries
BOARD. In Puget Sound waters there
has been a tightening up of regula.
lions and some new areas are barred
10 seines. Results of regulations
started four years ago are bearing
fruit Pollock said. The years run of
salmon is expected to be the heaviest
in years. Old fishermen on Sound
points have reported to the board
that salmon are running in streams
in which they have not been seen for
years. This year is the end of four
year cycle and it will not be until
later thatsthe full results of regula-
tons put into effect four years ago
can be observed.
OLYMPIA. = State Auditor G. w.
Clauson, charged under the new bud
get law with the duty of compiling a
detailed statement of all direct and
indirect revenues of the state togeth-
er with complete analysis of expen-
preparing the data for the new bud
get department which functions di-
fectly under the governor. The audi
tors Office will keep the data up to

assembling it just prior to the bien
NAL budget-fixing period in October.
VANCOUVER, Wash. - Pageantry
and historic exhibits recalling the
early history of the Northwest will be
the mecca TO thousands of tourists
and old-time residents of the North
west when this city holds it's centen-
NAL exposition, July to August a.
False log fronts are already being
erected by local business houses and
cooperation in the historical plans is
being counted upon from the Hudson
Bay Fur Company through its London
and Canadian offices. The pivotal
center of the exposition will be the
site of the original Fort Vancouver of
the Hudson's Bay Company.
OLYMPIA.-The approach Of sum-
mer is being reflected by an increas-
ed demand for automobile licenses.
Toward the end of spring a class of
motorists who keep their cars in the
garage during the winter begin bonn
harding the license department for
new plates. Another impetus is given
when the half-rate period begins in
midsummer. Thus far, License Di-
rector G. R. -Maybury reports, 10 per
cent gain over 1914 is shown in the
number Of license sissued motorists.
PULLMAN. - Earl Foster, South
Bend, was appointed graduate man
ager of Washington State College at
a melting of the Associated Students.
Mr.. Foster is an alumnus Of the col
lege and is well known to college Off
Gals and a number of the students.
Mr.. Fosters work will be along many
different lines Events which concern
residents of the state other than the
college students will be among his
special charges. Heretofore this
work, along with that of the alumni
manager, has been in charge Of one
man. It is thought that the appoint
ment of the graduate manager will
mean much to the college.
OLYMPIA.-State fisheries depart
ment experiments with feeding hump
back salmon in salt, instead Of fresh
water are proving so successful at
the station near Jacksons Cove on
Hood Canal that the young salmon,
fresh from the hatcheries, may be
held in salt water rearing ponds in
the future wherever such a plan is
feasible. An Alaska nexperiment at
Ketchikan showed the humpies grew
in six months time to eight inches in
length in salt water rearing ponds.
In fresh water at the end of six
months they were mere "fingerlings."
Part of the 45,000,000 Alaska humpy
eggs which were take Mast year and
Matched during the winter at Puget
Sound plants are represented by the
young salmon in the Jackson Cove
pond. In little more than two
months time they seem to nave reach
ed six-months' size Of fresh water
fish The Alaska egg take, success
at the hatcheries and with the salt
water rearing ponds, seems to point
to the success Of Fisheries Board
Chairman e. A. Sims prediction that
an even-year humpback run can be
built up on Puget Sound.
