was a falling off, corresponding to the blocking of the stream. That there was not a total ces- Sation of the fish first suggest ed to me that nature in order to provide for the restocking of a stream blocked by an obstruc- tion sees to 1t that a certain number of fish, a small percent age, come back on a cycle of sev- en years, but the bulk come on the eighth year cycle.
 "In any event, the eighth and ninth years, corresponding to the cycle where I had stopped the fish without letting any through to the lake, were very poor ones, but there were enough to employ the Indian to lift the usual number over. Then came the eighth year from the season when the chief had lifted the 1900 over the fence. Instead of the normal number of 10000 that had been a good year in the past, there were 35,00O. The humbacks continued to come for six years, but at the end of that time they fell off entirely and did not come back, for none had been lifted over the fence, The surprising thing and the con- vincing argument was, however, in the fact that the stream con- tinued to produce 5000 sock eyes, corresponding to the work of the chief in his annual task of lifting the fish over the fence"
 Other Streams
 MT. Miller tried the experiment with other streams in Southeast Alaska in succeeding years with similar results, until finally the fisheries commission stopped him fencing the small streams But in every instance where he was permitted to carry out his ideas the results were similar to those at Nakat Inlet; the num- Der of sockeyes in the stream

SOME AMERICAN BLESSINGS

We are blessed down here, Portland, Oregon, with speak easies, hooch on the hip, bub- ling vats and steaming stills in the kitchen of the land and bumper crops of drinking drys. " The Hon. Wesley L. Jones, Senator from Washington, is the author of a law which provides that man or woman, who is caught and convicted of selling a bottle of beer to a fellow citi- zen, may be sentenced to pay fine of not more than $10,000 and not less than five years in the pen. Jones wants the poor jailed and the weak whose sins are like some congressmen's $ punished.
 Consider the sin of drinking, and gamblingl
 The judge and the preacher denounce it; the Bar Associa- tions protest 1t; the law forbids it; society as a whole frowns on it; and yet the rich and power full drink and gamble openly and Senator Jones knows none but the poor are punished. The high brow" ladies who are bored by easy living, drink cock tails, play bridge for money or prizes, and their critics are call ed religious cranks."
 Whether drinking or gam bling are sins, I do not know. All life Is a gamble. But I do know that dishonesty is vile; that calling a theft "misappropria- tion" does not make it less a theft; that no law is a good law If it does not apply to the great and small alike; and that the people will continue to scorn and hate the law and it's machinery so long as our scheme of ethics condemns the poor and excuses punishment 6n,

from the eighth year, multiplied 'OO per cent.
 He explains that any spawn ing lake can only accommodate so many fish, that the grounds where the fish lay their eggs is limited, and that the sockeyes are the first to deposit their spawn. The other species of salmon follow, and they in spawning, destroy millions of Sockeye eggs. Then, too, salmon trout ana other species of fresh water fish prey on the eggs and fry, destroying countless num- berS of them. In the streams that he fenced all fish were pre- vented from getting up to the lakes, and Sockeye salmon alone were lifted over the Instructions by the Indians.
 He is confident that if the sug- gestion that he is prepared to offer, not only for the stocking of the streams with sockeyes, but with other species of salmon, are followed, that British Columbia need never fear the extinction of it's salmon fisheries. He main tainS that his whole scheme is but one of assisting nature to re-stock the streams with the fish peculiar to that particular river, and to each little lake feeding that river.
 If his plan is followed, he pre- diets, the Fraser River can in future years become re-stocked with sockeye salmon in greater numbers than in the halcyon days that pioneers recall.

OUR DREAMS AHEAD

What would we do in this world
 of our own, Were it not for the dreams
 ahead? For thorns are mixed with bloom
 ing flowers, No matter which way we tread. And each of us has his golden
 goal, Stretching far into the years; And ever he climbs with a hope
 full soul, With alternate smiles and tears. That dream ahead is what holds
 him up When his lips are pressed to the worm woods cup, Through the storms of ceaseless
 fight; And the clouds shut out the
 light. To some it's a dream of high es-
 tate; To some it's a dream of wealth; To some it's a dream of truce with fate In 8 constant search for health. To some it's a dream of home and wife; To some it's a crown above; The dreams ahead are what
 make each life The dreams-and faith-and love.

PLANS TO RESTORE SOCKExE
 RUN BY NEW METHOD A. $. Miller States FOur-Yea
 Cycle is False Theory

Sockeye runs equal to the re- cord figures of the past may again be seen in the Fraser Riv- Ter, according to Alexander s. Miller, of Smithers, who has been associated with the fishing in dustry for nearly thirty years In Alaska, and during that time has brought about the replen- ish1ng of a number of streams that were threatened with deple- tion, MT. Miller is not only con- vinced that the runs on the Fra ser can be brought back to their old volume, but also that these great runs can be repeated and maintain in perpetuity. Tn a re- cent newspaper interview he stated he had come to Vancouv- Ter, B. o., for the purpose of lay ing before those interested in the future of this great indus try, and before members of the government, his ideas and sug- gestions, in the hope that they will be of value to the country.
 Salmon Studies in Alaska
 As a result of his studies of salmon, extending over more than a quarter of a century in Alaska waters, MT. Miller claims that the sockeye salmon, con- trary to accepted theory, oper- ates on a 2 and 8 year cycle and not on a four year cycle. He al- so discovered that the cycle of the humpback is six years, and not as popularly supposed, on a cycle of two years, although the large runs come on the cycles which are credited with being the return of the fish to it's na- tive waters, contrary to actual fact,
 My discoveries resulted from my damming of the little stream operating into Nakat Inlet, Alas ka, in 1885," he explained. "This stream had a normal sockeye run of about 10000 salmon. I built a fence across and no fish could get up. The next year I once more prevented the fish coming up, and then on the third year the Indians began to com- plain and the chief told me that I must let some salmon up. In Eorder to placate him I employed him with a scoop net to lift some sockeye over the fence so they could make their way into the little lake where they spawn ed. He counted the fish and they numbered 1900. The next year I once more employed to lift an equal number of sockeyes over the fence. All other fish were stopped.
 Results
 Now, the results of this sys- tenn were most surprising. I ex- pected that the fourth year af- ter my having first stopped the fish would see the end of the runs. This was not so, for they came in as large numbers as be- fore. It was not until the sev- enth and eighth years that there

 We are a nation of hypocrites pretending to a superior right eousness because we punish the poor and the weak for immoral ities that are not at all immor- al when practiced by the rich and the social elite.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 5.-An effort
to determine what the Interstate Com
merce Commission actually has in mind
concerning Eastern railroad consolida-
ton and on what terms it would permit
mergers to be effected will be made
shortly on the initiative of the Balti-
more & Ohio and the Nickel Plate in
terests, who are expected to file an ap-
plication outlining their plans with the
commission.
This is a move to break the impassc
into which the four big systems IN the
East, namely, the Pennsylvania, New
York Central, Baltimore g. Ohio and
Nickel Plate, became involved after their
long series of conferences was broken
up by the sudden purchase by the Penn
sylvania of the Loree holdings OF the
Wabash g. Lehigh Valley.
Former Action Recalled.
So far as could be learned today,
neither the Pennsylvania nor the New
York Central are parties to the pro-
posed application to the Interstate Com
merce Commission. The Baltimore 81
Ohio and the Van Sweringen interests
appear to have been working more i'll
harmony in consolidating matters than
the other trunk lines and are more
anxious to develop the merger scheme.
It is significant that in contrast to
what has been the previous practice Of
buying properties and then asking the
Interstate Commerce Commission for
authority to hold them the applicants
now desire to enter into preliminary
negotiations with the commission before
going further The commission has
