Saturday, he announced that he
would not testify further in view
of testimony which the trial
board received from the United
States District Attorneys office.
This is believed to refer to
testimony by Assistant District

Both the prosecution and de-

they insist Chance continue his

 each cycle were Over-fshed early in the industry. During the early years, when fishing was confined to the region about the mouths of the river and drift nets alone were employed, no evidence exists of everlasting. The last cycle in which these conditions obtained was 1894 1896. During each of the small years of that cycle there were packed approximately 350,OO0 cases on the Fraser River and about 6O,OOO cases in Puget Sound. During each of those years, therefore, about five mil lion sockeye were taken from the spawning run x Appar- ently, however, a third of a mil
 lion cases a year could be safe ly taken, for the following cycle shows no decrease. X During the following period of four years (1897-19OO) the TRAPS IN PUGET SOUND BECAME AN IMPORTANT MATTER. While the B. c. Pack showed little or no reduction, it was now met by a pack on Puget Sound which nearly equalled it. The total catches during the three off, years of that cycle nearly doubl- ed those of the preceding cycle and exacted an average toll of about 1O,OOO,OOO fish from the spawning run of 1897-19OO. The total pack of the three small years of that cycle was over D. 100000 cases"
 "The result was quickly ap- 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 1897- 1900 that the first serious dam age was done to the sockeye run of the Fraser. By doubling the

"The history of the Fraser River cd, 1894-190O-a period before depletion was manifest in the small years-produced an aver age pack of 342,597 cases.
 Commercial fishing for sock eye began in a small way in Ca nadian waters in 1876, with a pack of less than 10000 cases. Fishing was confined to the channels of the Fraser River up to 1890 and gill-nets alone were employed. Gill-net fishing was extended to the diScolOured salt waters off the mouths of the river in 1890. Up to that year only the Canadian fleet was en- gagged, the market was limited and the catch in any one sea- son did not produce a pack in excess OI 10o,UUO cases.
 Traps Leading Factor"
 Commercial fishing for sock eye began in the State of Wash ington waters of the system in 1891, with the installation of traps in the vicinity of Point Roberts. Proving most effect i've, the number of traps em- ployed increased rapidly and became the leading factor in 1897 Purse Seines came into 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 been in excess of 60 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 tion of over 25,OOO,OOO individu- al sockeye. In 1917, the big year following the record high

pack of 1913, the pack fell to 559,7O2 cases, a drop of close to " per cent. Since 1917 the packs in the big years of each four-year cycle have not eX- ceeded 148,OOO cases and can no longer 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 small 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,O00 cases and in one year-1923- fell to 79,- O57 cases. The pack in the last eight years has averaged but 123,372 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 system of inspecting the entire spawning areas of the Fraser River. An annual inspection has been made and reports pub lished, these reports have call ed attention to the significant fact that the greater prOpOr- tion of the vast spawning beds of the Fraser basin were but lightly seeded in each of the small years since 1909.

Colonel Stewart Fights Back

Colonel Robert w Stewart intends actively to
resist efforts of John D. Rockefeller Jr. to retire him
as chairman of the board of the Standard Oil Com
pany of Indiana. Stewart has announced that he is
a candidate for reelection to the board and has
begun the collection of proxies from stockholders.
Stewards Washington attorney Frank j. Hogan,
has obtained the signatures of the jurors in Stewards
contempt trial to a statement saying that they did
not acquit Stewart on technicality that they in
tended their verdict to be vndication and that they
believed Stewart had not testified falsely as charged
Stewart cites this document proof of his purity,
and intends to it in his struggle with Rockefeller
Whatever the jurors may have been persuaded
by the versatile Hogan, who was able also to obtain
freedom for Edward L. Doheny, certain facts relat
ing to Stewards connection with the oil scandals have
in way been altered by his exoneration in Grim
inal court. These facts should not be obscured.
Stewart participated with Harry F. Sinclair, H M.
Blackmer and James E. ONeill in the formation OF
the notorious Continental Trading Company and part
of it's profits passed through Stewards hands to his
companies. This in itself is damnng fact.
Still worse Stewards conduct toward the SEN
ate public lands committee. Throughout the long
investigation of the looting of the public oil
he possessed information of first Importance to the
inquiry yet remained silent When in february 1928
he appeared before the committee he said he had
not personally received any of the Continental bonds
which the committee trying to trace, that he had
nothing to do with their distribution, and knew moth
ing about them. At the time he had his share of
the Continental bonds locked in safe. Stewart was
defiant and contemptuous
In April, 1928, when the senate committee no
longer needed the information he could supply
Stewart again appeared before the committee and
revealed his part in the Continental transaction or
rather, what he said his part
Three days later John D. Rockefeller Jr. who had
been interested by Senator Walsh in the efforts of
the committee to get Stewards story called for Stew
arts resignation Stewart had agreed to resign at his
request, Rockefeller sad and testimony before the
committee left him other alternative than to ask
Stewart to make good the promise Stewart did not
resign, and was reelected TO the board.
These are the facts which Rockefeller bases his
belief that Stewart has shown himself unfit to be
head of the great Standard company. To most OF
they will seem adequate whatever the Washington
jurors may think.

Roosevelt s Memorial

Ten years after his death is too soon to think OF
permanent memorial material memorial like
statue to former President Theodore Roosevelt So the
trustees of the Roosevelt Memorial Association decided
at their meeting this year. A man should be dead
at least quarter of a century, they feel before his
memorial is erected
The memorial association has about million dol
lars as beginning for the project so the delay is not
due TO a lack of funds. But it has seemed to mem
bers best to put the money at interest and let 1t &C
cumulate until the time is ripe for determining the
character of the memorial and undertaking It's
erection
The decision of the trustees is an interesting one.
There is always strong temptation felt by the ADMIR-
ers of heroic figure to do something in bronze or
marble quickly before the passing of those who nave
known and admired the great one. 1t is natural
inclination But it accounts for many little monu-
ens to many little figures who had no real claim on
posterity for remembrance
The really great have need to fear delay Pass
ing wears clear the atmosphere of personal anmos-
ties and afford a perspective The Washngtons and
the Iincolns are better appraised perhaps today than
thew were when the flowers we're fresh upon their
graves.

-THE kellogg anti-war treaty is in

4 danger, and the fault does not
lie wholly at the door of stupid and
vicious men in the United States
senate. If the agreemet fails of
ratification, some part of the blame
belongs to you and me.
The American public resolutely
has refused to get excited about this
issue. Hereabou+5, at any rate, /
have not heard the matter men
toned in any conversation.
Possibly this reference may not
seem to strengthen my point, for
the electorate, after reaching the
boiling point, went out and voted in
a way which seemed to me de-
plorable. But though my favorite
lost I was never blind, even during
the heat of the campaign, to the
fact that it was an excellent thing
for Americans to rouse themselves
out of lethargy and get some feel of
the power which lives in the wrists
and fists of an aroused common
wealth.
No one could accuse me of in
difference then. Even solemn SYM
phony concerts were interrupted by
the buzz of people in the audience,
who could not refrain from arguing
about the respective methods OF

TOLEDO, o., Jan. 15.-This town
Il certainly has changed since I
was here two years ago. 1t not only
looks different, but feels different.
At that time, it was whistling to
keep its upper lip stiff, apologizing
for what had not happened, hoping
for what might happen and wonder
ing what would happen. Now it
blithely tells the visitor not only
what has happened, but what is
going to happen.
The development of a community
includes more than erecting build
ingS, organizing industries, increas-
ing pay rolls and piling up money in
the bank. Such things are essential
but they fall far short of telling the
whole story.
Back of it all, is spirit, and back
of spirit is leadership. In the final
analysis, a community depends on
the kind of men it has out in front.
In this respect, Toledo has been
singularly fortunate. 1t owes much
to such men as Tom Devilbiss, who
died five months ago, G. o. Miniger,
who seems to have been drafted to
take his place by common consent,
w. T. Jackson, who was elected
mayor last year, and a dozen others
like them.

This projection of sight is true of the phe-
nenenon known the after image Suppose you
star at very bright light and then look away You
will continue to see bright spot out in space.
The bright light has over-stimulated the eye and
the result is that the sensation continues But
here the eye projects the sensation back into space
as bright spot.
The eye interprets phenomena in the form of light.
That Is why person sees stars if he bumps his eye.
The ear acts in much the same way as does the
eye We project sounds back to their sources Our
ears however, likely TO be fooled and sometimes
make mistakes.
1t is particularly difficult to place sounds which
originate in plane midway between the ears.
But frequently We call sight and past experience
to the aid of ears, identifying certain changing
noise, as a street car bell, for example
The sense of touch is projected out of the brain
also but only far as The skin.
In the same way taste is projected 10 the tongue
But here mistakes made. For most havors are
odors and what ascribe to the sense OF taste is
really the work OF the sense OF smell.
That is Why cold in the head renders food

Hoover Keeps His Promise

Herbert Hoover has made three major oeciSlonS
since his election. All have been WISE FIRST, ne
conceived and carried out his very successful good
will tour of Latin-America Now, during his brief
Instrumentation visit to Washington he has ar
ranged for special farm relief session of Congress
in April and has approved informally the choice OF
owen D. Young and j. P. Morgan as unofficial repre-
sentatyes on the German reparations revision COM
mission.
Nominally. of course Hoover has had no corinec-
ion with these two latter decisions The question OF
uostponing farm legislation is up to congress, and
The allied governments name the Americans on the
exnerts commission But actually, and properly. the
Judgment of the President-elect has been deterin-
mo factor for both matters vitality affect his ad-
ulinistration
Morgan's selection may be criticised because OF
his connection with Wall street. But political and
economic realsts viii accept it short cut to hon
esty in the relation between government and inter-
national finance.
It IS better to have such relations open. Il Is
betnr to fix responsibility directly The heart of the
.ss-atons dispute is the characterization of Ger
man railway bonds most of which must be hoated
by Wall street. Under the old diplomacy, Wall street
would have been the power behind the scenes in such
a financial conference: under the new system the
international banker is put on the commission and
his responsibility established.
Hooyer's refusal to support certain Republican old
guard leaders in their attempt to enact inadequate
farm legislation during the jam o. this short session
Of congress reveals his wisdom and courage.

ToIedo'S Best Citizens

~. o. MINIGER, head of the Au-
~ tolite Company and a dozen
other big concerns, is 81 years old
and is rated at many millions,
though he had practically nothing
at 81. I find many men like that
as I travel over the country. The
thought that if success does not
come early it will never come is all
wrong. Many fortunes and careers
have been forged by men past the
prime of life-men who, according
to DR.. Osler and Sir Arthur Keith,
should have become useless on &C
count of their age.
Miniger has done more than
achieve success. He has shared it
with his community, giving not
only of his money, but of his time.
Tom Devilbiss. he told me, was
the best citizen Toledo ever had,
and "now that he is gone, some of
the rest of us must step in and do
his work"
What tribute, what an inSpira-
ton, what would not most of us
give to be spoken of five months
after death as Tom Devilbiss is
spoken of in Toledo.
That is the kind of thing that
makes communities grow, not only
bigger, but better.
