black hat on her head just as her

Perhaps her placidity was dis

Silence came between them until
Mitchell said brusquely:
You look like your mother"
do you think SO? Lots of people
tell me that. I'm glad, too. Don't
you think mothers eyes are beau

but they aren't as big"
Immediately she knew she
shouldn't have said that. Mitchell
looked across the room. His reply,
if he made one, was inaudible.
Celia bit her lip. She could not
understand why, but she knew from
that moment that she never must

John Mitchell It frightened her
and then after a moment the fright
turned to slow anger.
She could not yet think of
Mitchell as her father. He was an
interloper with whom, for her
mothers sake, she must be patient.

into a pocket of his vest and drew
forth small white packet.

The girl raised her head.

"Of course"

Nonsense. Of course you can

of the Naknek River in the Bris- tol Bay district.
 The apparatus consists of logs, some chains and a small storage battery outfit. The logs will be anchored below the weir gate and the other end extending some 12O feet below the weir. The open ing at the outer end will corres- pond in width to that of the weir. Attached to the logs for most of the length of the chan mel will be steel chains These will be wired to the battery out fit which will furnish current for charging. Only 250 watts is required to charge the outfit. It is believed that contact with the charged area will drive the fish on through the weir to the spawning grounds.
 This novel idea might be adapt ed by trap men in order to make their scientific machines more efficient in the catching of sal mon. The plan is probably feas- lble and if it's worth is demon strated by the Bureau of Fish cries, it's use with traps will re- Guce. the cost of trap catch while at the same time increasing it.

son of two years ago.
 The one-year complete close season for the taking of mink, land otter and weasel, on the Ke- mai Peninsula, has been removed and those animals may again be taken during the open season from December 1 to March 1. A similar restriction on the taking of mink in Fur District No. 3 has been removed, and this animal may be taken during the same season as land otter and weaseI, December 1 to March 31. The op- en season for the taking of mink land otter and weasel in South- eastern Alaska east of Longitude 136 degrees has been advanced 15 days and these animals may now be taken during the period from December 16 to January 15.
 Responsive to the request of fur dealers and trappers living in the Lower KuskokWim and the Lower Yukon Rivers and the shores of Norton Sound, the sea- son, for the taking of mink has been closed. This area is partic- ularly described as consisting of those portions of the drainages to Norton Sound, Boring Sea, Yu- kon and KuskokWim Rivers bounded on the north by the south bank of the Inglutalik River to it's source, and thence over the divide to the most north northerly fork of the Ka- teel River and following down it's south bank to it's confluence with the Koyukuk River, bounded on the east by the west bank of the Koyukuk River to it's confluence with the Yukon River, thence following down the west bank of the Yukon River to the Paimute Portage, thence across such por- tage to Crow Village on the Kus- kOkWim River thencn fO1lOwinU

during the close season on fur bearers, a provision has been added to Regulation IS for the issuance of permits authorizing such trapping. These permits may be issued to qualified per- sons, at the discretion of the Commission upon applications completed on forms obtainable from game Wardens. All traps used under such permits, as we'll as traps used for the taking of animals for propagation purposes must be marked with the owners name or some other distinctive mark. Such marking is design ed for the protection of persons operating under the provisions of such permits, as we'll as to facili- tate enforcement work.
 The use of set guns of any de- description designed for the talk Ing of game, or fur-bearing an- ;mals, is now prohibited.
 Responsive to the request of Valdez residents, a closed area has been established in Keystone Canyon where no game or birds may be taken. This area in- cludes one half mile on each side of and paralleling the Richard son Highway from Milepost 13 to the center of SnoWslide Gulch near Mile 16. A similar closed area has been created to permit migrating caribou to cross the Steese Highway unmolested. It includes one half mile on each side of, and paralleling, this highway at the "TWelve Mile Summit" from Milepost 85 to 88, and the Eagle Summit' from Milepost 106 to III.

THE CENSUS

In another column of this issue
we publish the result of the
recent Census for Charles
County, and we are sorry to note
that, during the past decade, in
stead of substantial gain in our
County's population, the figures
show a considerable loss In
1920 the County was recorded as
having population o f 1905
whereas, according t o the 1880
Census just completed, we can
boast of only 10, 162 persons, or
a falling o if i n inhabitants f
1,540. This represents decrease
of approximately 9 per cent of
our former population, which is,
in the comparatively short period
of ten years, considered rather
large and somewhat appalling.
There seems t o b e only one
plausible explanation of this re-
grettable situation, and that is,
that the people are leaving the
farm and moving to the city. APP
parenrtly, however, G h / e S
County is not alone in this trend
toward the city" movement, as
reports from all over the country
indicate a similar shifting of
population in rural districts. In
this connection, n interesting
article appeared last week 5
issue o f TIE WARYLANDER, a
Baltimore publication, which
stated in part as follows:
Throughout the entire State
people have been more than sur
prised at the result of the Census
reports.
The wide open spaces are
becoming wider, and wider, and
more open certainly less crowd
ed, according 0 the census re-
ports; and out where the grass
grows green" the pickings have
become so lean, that everybody
and his brother, and often times
Ma and Pa, have moved into the
city, or small town.
Maryland is not affected in
this matter to any greater extent
than are other sections of the
country. From the North, the
South, the East and the West,
similar reports are being tab
ulated and forwarded t o Wash
ington, showing that the trend
of population is toward the cities
and towns of the nation.
Some statisticians contend
that this is the expected, a n d
natural result of good roads and
automobiles. They assert with a
great deal of truth, that before
the advent of good roads and the
gasoline buggy, farm folks stayed
on the farm not from choice,
but necessity. Frequently they
were showed in during the win
ter, and when spring rolled
around the roads were practically
impossible. When the roads
could be travelled, the teams we're
all busy in the fields so country
folks just naturally had o stay
in the country, Anyhow, since
the advent of the automobile and
passable roads, the new mode of
transportation and travel has
caused the rural population to
move steadily toward the city"
