O. the jail and so gets plenty of ex- e1cise. The other prisoners exercise consists of walking down to meals threo times a day, and perhaps pac- ing up and down the corridor three times a week.
 But Sinclair, at first. had more than this, He vas permitted to have the jail and ride to the m. loading docks in an automobile with T jail doctor ;o attend the physical rceds, if any, uf prisoners unloa l. ing bricks from the barges
 When the newspapers discovered this 1t was stopped. After that Sin- clair roamed the spacious jail grounds for his daily constitutional Breathing the fresh air and limber- ing up his muscles.
 As l write this I realize it may sound petty to most readers. But it Is just such little things that take on tremendous significance to the man in jail.

 There were other people in ial. who didn't have fifty million. who would have benefited, likewise, py scmc of these privileges.

There, with special care and food. he got better; but at Ia 4 over his pitiflll protest. he was taken back to his cell, to make way for another patient And pretty soon he died, there in his cell. ciutching the hand of a bowildered guard who was unable to help him.
 When Sinclair got out of jail t was remarked that he looked bet ter than when he went in. And w;IN not? He had a comforta ble place to sleep. He had fresh air and eXer- else. His clothes were always in good ordcr-hc had an orderly keep lis suits pressed and his shoes shincd. and he sent his laundry to New Icrk, while the ordinary pria- cEer washed his own linen or else went dirty.
 Most important of all, though. vas the fact that Sinclair had gooI food while he was in jail.

German Inventor Believes Process Will Permit Location of Invisible

Berlin, Feb, 2S (P) - Dr. Fritz Schrocter, director ot the Tolefm- ken wireless service, says he has succeeded in sending messages two and a half miles through log on infra-rcd rays.
 These are radiations invisible 10 the eye, warmer than light and djf- ferent from light only in the great CT lengths of their vibrations

Canada Sauing
 Its Birds

During the past year Canada established five bird sanctuaries and one public shooting ground in the important provinces. By so doing, Canada is fulfilling her obligations under the migratory bird treaty, which protects birds migrating between that country and the United States.
 The United States has already set aside a number of similar senctuaries, or Handing fields, !" for migratory water fowl. After July 1, when additional funds become available, other sanctu- aries will be established under the 1929 migratory bird conser- vation act, thus putting us on parity with Canada in protecting ducks and geese and other spe- cies of migratory waterfowl.

The writer states that in the Prince William Sound dis trict, also in waters farther west, trolling for salmon is per lnitted during the canning sea- son only-a very short time whereas it is permitted longer in the First Division. This condi- ton he contends is at present stopping many trollers who would do so, from moving to this section.

 Lucas said the Foshay Com pany was not listed on any stock exchange. He said salaries paid officials were "quite liberal"
 He further stated that the yidends paid out on the capital were uncertain and the cOndi- tions of the Foshay organization were evidenced by the fact that in August, 1929, in order to pur- chase a piece of real estate for $395, ,000, loan was negotiated for $500,000, with Foshay secur- ities totaling S5,OOO,OOO as alleg- ed collateral"

State of Washington have been unsuccessful, because the two local governments have no power to enter into a formal compact. Unified control can only be af- tected thru treaty between the two national governments.
 Canada has shown her good faith by passing a treaty dealing
 vith this problem on four differ mt occasions, only to be reject ed each time by the United States because of various oppoS- ing influences on the American side. If this treaty is not now accepted by this country, it is certain that Canada will never consider negotiations to that end again, which would mean the abandonment of this fishery to complete annihilation and the tlnal destruction of the industry based thereon.
 The fisheries are inherently public and not a private re- source.
 It is not only within the prov nee, but it is the duty of the proper government authorities to take such steps as may be ne ceSSary to restore this formerly great industry. The government viewpoint must be beyond the eXpediency of the moment, and from the standpoint of the per rnanent welfare of the industry i.nd the public.
 R esults of the definite, firm policy of the various govern bodies along the Pacific Coast have shown remarkable results in maintaining the sal mon fisheries. The salmon in

It is rumored about town that the married men will take the ball game away from the single men but we reserve our bets until We see which is the more handsome team.
 An unusual display of night fireworks at the ballground is timed to follow immediately af- ter the show in the evening and 3 big dance at the Sons of Nor way Hall will end the program.

Salmon Pact IS Held to be Boon
 10 the Pacific Northwest Industries By Miller Freeman in The Seattle Times
By Miller Freeman in The

The sole purpose of the pro posed treaty is to restore the Fraser River sockeye run, which, passing thru Puget Sound, was ir former years the most import ant fishery resource of this dis trict
 There is no dissenting opinion from any source on the issue that this fishery should be re- tOred.
 The former magnitude of this resource is illustrated by the fact that in 1913 the pack of sockeye salmon on Puget Sound vas 1,673,099 cases. On the Brit i2h Columbia side, in the Fraser River area, the pack was 972, 17S cases, making a total for the en- .ire area to be included under the treaty of 2,643,377 cases. If this industry were in a flourish ing condition such a pack last year would have had a market value of $52,O0O,O0O.
 Loss to Both
 The pack of sockeyeS in1929 on Puget Sound was 111,898 cases; on the British Columbia side, 60,393 caSes-a total of 172,291 cases, valued at $3,303,0OO. This shows a staggering economic loss to both British Columbia and the State of Washington.
 The Fraser River sockeye fish cry is international in character. This species spawnS in a Canadi- an stream, and in it's migration merely passes to and from the sea thru American waters.
