FIGURES ON OIL OUTPUT

World petroleum production for 1928 was estimated by the United States Bureau of Mines to be 1922, ,896,000 barrels, of which the United States output was 902,0O0,OO0 barrels or 68.o per cent of the world total.
 The 1928 output from the United States was slightly in ex- cess Q fthe 1927 output, which was 9O1, ,129,OO0 barrels. The bu- reau said there had been steady effort on the part of producing interests to control American output, but that Texas, Okla homa and California had main tained heavy flow of oil through out the year.
 After the United States, Ven .ezuela was the country of great est importance in world produc- ton. Its output for 1928 was 1O6,OO0,000 barrels, a sharp gain over the 63,134,OO0 attributed to Venezuela for 1927. Russia was third with a 1928 production of 87,800,00O barrels against 1927 output of 77O'8,000 barrels. Mex ico was still in fourth place. tho its 50,150,00o-barrel output of 1928 was Below the 1927 figure of 64,121,00O barrels. Persia, Rumania, the Netherlands.

parent. The small years of the following cycle showed such a marked decline as to in dicate that we had far oVer- stepped the line of safety. It was then during the cycle of 1891- 1900 that the first serious dam age was done to the sockeye run of the Fraser. By doubling the pack of the three small years, not only was the surplus fully taken but the necessary spawn ing reserve was seriously en- croached with the result that in the small years of the following cycle (19O2, 1903 and 19O4), in spite of the increased amount of gear employed, the pack was cut in half, while the spawning beds at the same time were but sparsely seeded.
 The inevitable and and dis astrous trend of events should have been evident to the dull- est. But the parties in interest refused to hold their hands and proceeded with the slaughter of the spawning remnant"

"Traps Leading Factor"

. eye began in the State of Wash ingt0n waters of the system in
 5I, with the installation of 1 yEapS ii the vicinity of Point Roberts. Proving most effect live, the number of traps em- ployed increased rapidly and became the leading factor in
 1897. Purse SeineS came into 1 use in American waters in 1901 and have since that year been
 extensively used, Since 1901, with one or two minor excep- tions, the yearly catch in Am erican waters of the system has '2een in excess of SO per cent of the total catch.
 "GlOry Destroyed"
 Production in the system in the big years of each four-year cycle reached it's height in 1913 with a total pack of 2,392,895 cases, containing the edible DOT Jion of over 25,O00,0OO individu- al sockeye. In 1917, the big year following the record high pack of 1913, the pack fell to
 -o9 TOP cases, a drop of close
 10 TT per cent. Since 1917 the packs in the big years of each fOur-year cycle have not ex- . ceeded 148,000 cases and can no .Onger be distinguished by their size from the packs of the three small years. There has been no periodicity in abundance since 1917. The glory of the Fraser has been destroyed.
 The catches in the sman years
 OI each cycle up to the period of 1898, 1899 and 1900 display no evidence of depletion. In each of those small years the pack averaged 648,912 cases. From then on the packs in the small years rapidly declined. In each of the last eight years the total pack in any one year has not exceeded 159,OOO cases and in one year-1923- fell to 79,- 357 cases. The pack in the last eight years has averaged but ! 1872 cases. Furthermore the bulk of the pack in recent years has consisted of late running fish, runs that were not drawn upon prior to 1914.
 The factors that so speedily destroyed the sockeye run to the Fraser River System are easily determined. Tn 1901 the Fisheries Department of the B. c. Government inaugerated a system of inspecting the entire spawning areas of the Fraser River. An annual inspection has been made and reports pub ished, these reports have call ed attention to the significant fact that the greater propor- ton of the vast spawning beds Of the Fraser basin were but lightly seeded in each of the small years since 1909.

we're too much like something in q
glass cage" and had made American

rogatory effect on craftsmanship. He
said the museums should be revamped
so that Americans instead of taking
their art like a dose of unpleasant
medicine" could enjoy it in an unself-
conscious way"
One hundred and twenty-five dele
gates from rs colleges and universities
and other educational agencies had ar
rived today for the meeting which will
continue through Thursday. This

urged that the association take all pos
sible steps to encourage such talent.
