NEW YORK. Oct. 26.-With nj
Germany intensely interested in hi:
work, Count Zeppelin turned to the
task. in 1908. of developing success
full commercial dirigibles.
The fund which had been raised
by subscription throughout the ma
tion was placed in an endowment
devoted not only to the production
Of airships. but to the development
of airplanes ard power plants.
A new Zeppelin, the I'll, was
speedily produced. and in April
1909, a fight made form Lake Con,
stance to Munich. Heavy winds be
set the rigid on the flight, but the
airship remained in the air through
out.
Guest Of Kaiser
Another flight took Count Zeppelin
TO Berlin. where he was entertained
by the Kaiser at dinner. An enthus-
iastic populace declared the occasion
a holiday, and turned out to greet
him.
Thus was the commercial zeppe-
lin put on q permanent basis in Ger
many. The dirigibles were enlarg-
ed. passenger ard mail service insti.
outed. and soon flights had become
popular.
The value Of the rigid as a vlI
observation craft was soon noticed
Ships were built and equipped fol
military service-six within n few
years. The navy Zeps followed. and
proved their worth in flights with
the fleet on the North sea.
Experiments and changes were
made. resulting in a vast improve
ment of the zeppelin as a war
weapon And then came the World
war.
Zeps in the War
Throughout the early days Ger
many's military leaders kept close
watch of allied army movements
through the activities Of the zeppe-
Inns along the frontiers Of the en-
battled empire. The big rigids were
an integral part of the German war
machine. aiding its efficiency.
But the war showed many Of the
weaknesses of the ships. They
could not rise fast enough. They
lacked speed. Unable "a gain alti-

A CAUSE FOR SLAUGHTER

Engineers and a geological com. mission have, in a study of conds- tions around the break of the Los Angeles dam where between 250 and 300 people lost their lives, arrived at the causes of the frac- lures and the flood. We know from here that one of the big causes was a fault in engineering construc- ton. A dam can be made to hold any place If constructed of the right material. firmly anchored and of heavy build. It is better to go far beyond the average working press s- ure in dam construction because dam breaks are fatal. The causes are still in secret vaults of the dis trict attorneys office, but will be made public soon as reports come in from other competent investi- gating bodies.

 "* Further, it would be un- lawful flor any person to erect, Gin the State of Washington main tain, use or operate any purse seine, fish trap, fish wheel or other sta tionary apparatus for the taking of salmon in the waters of the State of Washington" or Ito have in his possession, sell, barter or exchange salmon, whether fresh or process ed, knowing the same to have been taken in the waters of the State of Washington by means of any purse seine, fish trap, fish wheel or other stationary or fixed apparatus"
 "" "" The prohibition of traps and purse seines would almost com pletely destroy the great salmon in dustry of Puget Sound, and would work serious injury in other i'm portant districts where these types of gear have always been consider, ed legitimate and proper"
 " The proposal utterly ig- nores the fact that almost the en- tire Sockeye run, probably the great majority of the Pinks, and many of the Chum salmon passing through Puget Sound, are bound for Canadi- an waters"
 The Pacific Fisherman along with Hoover and O'Malley and other trap interests, is in favor of conserva- tion with the greatest possible pro- duction compatible with perma- hence of resource Tn other words, they are in favor of a conservation which will permit them to put up unrestricted packs regardless of es- exponent of seed fish. They in fact believe that dividends must be con- served FIRST Why do they con- iinually try to kid Alaskans with theil program of conservation?
