A Statement

Press reports OF last week that
"The Intimate Papers OF
Colonel House" do not contain
any OF Woodrow wilson's let
ters and will end with Amer
ica's entrance into the war were
characterized as misleading by
Houghton Miff1in Company, the
publishers. Professor Seymour
of Yale, who prepared the ma
terial for publication, has had
in his possession about two
hundred letters written by
Woodrow Wilson, many Of
them. notes of which Wilson
himself kept no copies. and has
paiaphrased all the important
parts of these letters in his mar
rative. The first two volumes
of The Intimate Papers Of
Colonel House" will be pub
hshed on March 5. and win
carry the story down to Amer
ica's entrance in the war. These
viii be followed later by two ad-
ditional volumes which win
complete the narrative.

FISHING OF

between the '1ead" and the "heart'' and make a second attempt to escape from this obstruction they will again be hindered and turn back to the 'lead," and so given the second opportunity to be caught. This constitutes the main construction of a salmon trap.
 When reading the regulations governng these traps, we find that first, the distance between the traps has lately been increased so that the law provides a distance of one and one-half miles between two consecutive traps. Being that there is then no obstruction within the area of one and one-half miles, it gives each trap twice the oppor- tunity to catch the fish the trap otherwise would, that is, if an other onei were placed halfway between the two, or if the dis tance between the traps were three-fourths of a mile. That does not seem like conserving the salmon.
 Second, the law provides that, 'Throughout the weekly closed season herein prescribed the gate, mouth, or tunnel of all stationary or floating traps shall be closed, and twenty-five feet of the webbing or net of the "heart" of such traps on each side next to the "pot" shall be lifted or lowered in such manner as to permit the free passage of salmon and other 'fish- es." Such regulation does not prop

that, when the current is passing along the shore line, great schools of fish will drift with the current up against this "lead" and nat urally the fish will follow along this obstruction out toward deeper water.
 On the other end of this "lead" is driven another formation of p1l- ing in the shape or outline of heart, generally known as the 'Tbig heart," this being the first chamber for receiving the fish. At this point of this "heart" is an opening whereby the fish can be transferred into the second cham Der, also in the shape of a.heart, and known as the "snall heart" After the fish have been "playing" around in these two compartments they become more "gentle" and "tame," and can be transferred still further through smaller opening, commonly known as. a tunnel" into a square compart- ment about forty feet by forty feet, called a "pot." From this compartment is still another com partment, or sometimes two, this depending greatly upon the mum Der of fish the trap operator de- sires to impound.
 From the side of the frrt "heart'' right abreast of the outer end of the 1ead," another fence is con- structed, called digger" in about an angle of ninety degrees from the direction of the 'lead," this second fence averages in length approximately one thousand feet, more or less. On the very extreme end of this digger" is then con- structed a hook, so that if there should be a school of fish that might turn back from the opening

 The Bureau of Fisheries, De- partment of Commerce. has been very active during the past three years enacting unjust rules and regulations on certain methods of fishing salmon, while some methods of fishing which are destructive to the fish have been entirely over looked, possibly due to lack of Knowledge of same, and to which lack of knowledge we now, vol untarily, call their attention.
 For the benefit of those who have but a limited knowledge of the methods employed to fish the different species of salmon, we will give a brief outline of the construction of various fishing equipment.
 Purse seines, beach seines and gill nets are types of gear which are but little destructive to any kind of salmon, as there is more than an equal chance for the fish to pass by either end, or under meath the lead line. And besides that, this equipment is nearly al- ways drifting with the current and is therefore, free from causing any obstruction so as to hinder the great majority of fish from reaching their destination, the spawning ground. These last named types of gear have in fact been the only methods of catching sal mon which have been restricted up until this time.
 The other method by which sal mon are caught by the use of the fish traps, these words are easier to pronounce than it is for any escapement of fish to take place. These traps are of two different constructions, but their purpose is identically the same, one is the floating trap, and the other is the pile driven trap
 The pile driven trap is straight row of billings extending from shore and out thousands of feet, depend- ing upon the depth of the water. This part of the trap is called the "lead," and wire netting is spread between these billings in one continual length from shore and out, being so arranged that it makes a solid fence from the the bottom and to a height above 4ho h;,.h ,,o+or roark This "lead'

Only 2.7i5 miles Of the entire sys-
tenn Of state roads. comprising more
than 1000 miles, will he under his

The reason is that many roads which
have been designated as state high
ways have not yet been improved by
the state and their maintenance is
still in the hands Of county officials.
Practically all of the state main
tanned roads have come through the
winter in good condition. Plomason
