Rake Fishermen On
 Strike

Too much fish in the Skinner and Eddy traps so Supt. Maynard put his native fishermen on a limit of 5000 salmon per crew. The men wore just beginning to get the fish when they were cut down to 5000 every day. The men operating six to the crew could not make eXpens- es so they held a meeting with MT. Skinner and MT. Maynard and advis- them that expenses could not be made at those figures. The limit was lifted but the fishermen in. strhcted that their deliveries would not be accepted after ten D. III. Any delivery after that hour would be rejected and that they would not be paid for After much confabbing, Maynard took off the 10 o'clock time limit but insisted that delivery would have to be made immediately for at least A hour elivery but after caught. The fishermen begged Maynard refused saying that he dld not want any old fish when his traps were full of fish.

 reasonable terms the fishermen for fair treatmentsTw

Heavy Run Salmon Is
 Reported

High boat reported at Tyee by the End of this month had $75. per share out of which comes first the crew expenses then the expense of the seiner and the family gets the balance with which they will go to shows, pay their bills and have a few thousand dollars left over to spend on a trip to California next winter The businessmen of Alas ka need not worry about the bills O the fishermen-the are lots of salmon for the traps.
 The Takan of Petersburg deliver cred 4,000 salmon to the Laddie at Mole Harbor this week. A trap was brailed and trap salmon put on top of the seine fish. The superintend- ent refused to accept the fish for canning, paid for them and sold them to the reduction plant for f1shmeal. And many wonder why it tecomes harder each year to put up packs. The Laddie should have put on the trap fish and then load ed the seine fsh-common sense only necessary. If some poor fish erman had been guilty of destroy ing said salmon, they would have been arrested under the law. Fun ny fish laws we have.

A decrease in king sal mon, largely due to lack of herring has hurt the earning power of this progressive community to a large extent. At this season this village is muchly deserted as the popula- tion is largely scattered-at work in the different canneries The local plant employing quite a few.

girls by name and she is not averse to
teaching them in the arts of garden
ming, using the hoe and rake with
which to demonstrate her work when
ever necessary.
Organizer Of Kitchen Gardens.
It was she who started the kitchen
garden movement during the World
War and made a small patch of ground
a goodly part of the family income
during the days of food shortage and
economy She instigated the gardens
in Potomac Park and watched the
movement grow into great magnitude
and become so popular that 1t is only
in the last year or two that garden
ing is not carried on there and in other
big parks of the Capital
Annually Mrs. Hoover presents the
Eagle Scout badges, the highest honor
in the gift of the organization, to the
girls who win them.
It is quite well known that Mrs.
Hoover will not attempt to make a
great impression on the residents OF
the United States as a social light. She
is not a society woman, and very few
OF her predecessors have been. She,
like most of those who have held the
exalted position, cares far more for
humanity at large than in the mere
drinking and social-calling atmos-
phere. She likes women and men who
do things worth while in life.
However, in her social life she Is
faultlesS, being generous hostess and
presenting charming hospitality that
has never been exceeded in the cabinet
circle in Washington.
When cabinet Wednesday came
around hundreds of visitors were vel

cook, but she got into hot water, for
the chef, who had served Lord Sack
vile West refused to leave, and Marquis
de Chambrun was called in to settle
the difficulty. But it was not First
Lady of the Land who brought down
public wrath by turning the green and
the red parlorS of the state suite into
dressing rooms, but President Arthur,
who chafed more over the limitations
of the White House in those days
than had any of his predecessors.
In High Official Circle.
After all it is not so much the
social qualifications that the great
American public is caring about in MRS:
Hoover, for in fact only the official
element of Washington will meet her
in a critical way-high officials and
Diplomats. with few society folk from
other cities. It is more to the point
with the man and woman voters OF the
country to know what is the nature OF
the new PreSident-elect'S conSort. How
does she size up in the bigger way
in an understanding of the world as 1t
exists today.
One Of her associates in the cabinet
has said that If you visit the home OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Hoover you are likely
to find her on one of the porches or
in her rugged garden at the back OF
her house. Her recreation is IN sitting
in an easy chair on the wide porch
overlooking the garden, knitting baby
sacQue of soft yarn-something Tor her
little granddaughter or her baby grand
son-While she studies the trees ana
birds or watches some little flower she
has Just planted in pot OF earth, or
takes stock of the squirrels that are SO
tame that they roam over the porch
as well as through the garden at will.
One can vision the south front lawn
of the White House a rendezvous for
| Girl Scouts, the organization in which
| she is so vitality interested. Mrs.
Hoover was president Of this organiza-
ton and later became executive chair
man of the national board. If tradi-
| ton carries out, one Of the first garden
| parties held in the Presidents grounds
| will be an open air party for the Off
| GERS and members Of the Girl Scouts.
| Mrs. Hoover never misses an oppor-
| tunity to wear her uniform, and when
| year or two ago the Girl Scout con-
vention was held in Washington she
was never absent from session, and
| she generously entertained the dele
| gates and members while they were
here.

ELECTION returns
HEARD BY WOMEN
Democratic Club Has Open
House Dinner-0ffiCiaIS
Went Home to Vote.

Women's National Democratic Club
headquarters buzzed with activity last
night when a large group Of members
and friends gathered for the final open
house dinner at the New Hampshire
avenue clubhouse. This was followed by
a general gravitation toward the radio
corner in the parlors on the main floor,
where the group settled themselves for
the evening to listen to the election re-
turns.
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson was absent
from the circle. Being one of the few
fortunates of the Washington group
who has a vote, she had gone to her
Virginia home to cast her ballot. Mrs.
j. Borden Hartman, vice chairman of
the Democratic national committee:
Mrs. Emily Newell Blair, president of
the club, and other officials were of on
similar voting expeditions.
Members of the National Woman's
Party who had not gone home to vote
were for the most part gathered at the
Republican national headquarters to
listen to returns Mrs. Burnita Shelton
Matthews, Miss Maude Younger and
Miss Laura Berrian were among this
number.

the Inauguration March 4. Mrs. Gam
has a charming garden at the back OF
her house, from which one gets Splen-
did view of Washington Cathedral. No
one has been more interested in the
planting and culture Of the flowers than
has Senator Curtis. His home in To-
peka is noted for its well arranged and
prolific garden, over which his elder
sister, Mrs. Colvin, presides in his abb
Sence.
While Senator Curtis is not a society
man.. he is very hospitable, likes to
entertain his friends and interesting
people, especially his colleagues in the
Senate, and Mrs. Gam encourages this
trait in her brother. 1t no trouble
for her to invite and entertain dinner
company, and they are always well
selected and compatible. When she en-
tertains a luncheon party, one is likely
to find her sitting with her guests
at the finish with some dainty piece
of needlework in her hands. She
usually designs her own dresses and
hats, makes her own curtains and is
such an adept with the needle that
her lace pieces used for household
adornment are the envy Of her friends.
May Go to Hotel.
Knowing so well the demands that
will be made upon the Vice Presidents
household socially and the necessity Of
living within a convenient radius OF
the calling district, it is probable that
during the official season he will main
tain the entire household at some large
downtown hotel where entertaining be-
comes elastic and can quickly be
adapted to company large or small.
Nothing less than convention hall
or the Auditorium could comfortably
accommodate one of the brushes of an
evening reception given by the Vice
President. Diplomats and cabinet mem
bers have been known to pile their
hats and coats on the front lawn Of
Vice Presidents home when unwittingly
he selected a too small house as an
off1cial abode.
Senator Curtis is the devoted friend
of DR.. James Shera Montgomery, chap
lain of the House and pastor of Me-
moral Methodist Episcopal Church, at
John Marshall place and G streets, and
this is the church where the Vice Presi-
dent-elect and his family will worship.

he had to return the money to the club
members that they paid for his own
grandfather's campaign buttons. He
and Anne will accompany their parents
here for the Inauguration in March,
and will, of course, be with Mr.. and
Mrs Gam.
Henry Clay Curtis, the second child
of the Senator, Is a lawyer and prac-
tees in Chicago. He is married but
has no children. He and Mrs. Curtis
will also be here for the ceremonies
March 4.
The younger daughter of Senator
Curtis, Leona, who married Webster
Knight, business man Of Providence,
r. l., seconded her fathers nomination
at the Kansas City convention. She is
remarkably handsome and accom-
plished girl and, like her elder sister, is
a college woman. She graduated from
wellesley and before her marriage 10
years ago was prime favorite in con-
gressional society here. Mr.. and Mrs.
Knight have a son about six years of
age who also bears his grandfather's
name, Charles Curtis. while his sister, Q
year or so younger, bears the name of
Constance. This family will also spend
considerable time in the Capital. How
ever, neither daughter would be able to
relmquish her domestic affairs 30 live
in Washington and take the helm of
their fathers domestic ship OF state.
Popular with Youth.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cam have no children,
but are always surrounded by the young

has all the elements of a great social
hostess. She will leave q record for
hospitality that will even exceed that
