BY SALLIE v. H. PICKETT.

The imposing embassies and legations
which stand as a lasting memorial to
the late Mrs. John B. Henderson, despite
the excitement and drawing room gossip
over her many wills, will have an ad-
dition to the already long list since the
French government has voted the first
credit for the construction of the new
million-dollar embassy at Sixteenth and
Euclid streets. Plans for the embassy
have been drawn by Paul Cret Of Phila-
delphia, a Frenchman by birth, who has
to his credit in Washington the honor
Of being associate architect Of the Pan
American Union Building. than which
there is nothing more beautiful and ap-
pealing in the Capital.
Affairs of the embassy long ago out
grew the once more than ample build
ing erected and leased to the French
Government by Mrs. Henderson, and like
TIE new building to be started In the
near future, 1t overlooks Meridian Park
the hobby for which Mrs. Henderson is
said to have given more vegetarian din
ners to Senators and Representatives,
while putting the bill through, than
were ever before or since given In the
Capital. Indeed, they are perhaps the
only vegetarian dinners ever given here.
Already nine imposing foreign homes
edorn what has been termed embassy
row, and the Mexican, Italian, Cuban,
French, Polish and Spanish embassies
all attest the wisdom of the French
government in its selection Of a site.
Jules Jusserand was Ambassador Of the
French republic at the time Mrs. Hen
derson built the present embassy, and Its
size, elegance and artistic beauty ap.
pealed to the good taste Of the Capitals
citizens. The new building with Its
chancellory will be much larger and
more imposing, and instead of the new
French style Of the old embassy, 1t
will be-if long-considered plans are
carried out, in the Louis XVI style. For
almost a quarter Of q century the
French embassy has stood as the center
of social and diplomatic life in the
Capital.

most important custom Of society and

The Alaska fisherman., 1931-07-15

IS depleJeQ req salmon streams and an almost hopeless showing of red salmon production for last season.
 Salmon Pack Statistics
 The average annual produc- tion of red salmon in Alaska during the six years up to 1930 while the White fisheries law has been in operation, was L. 604,962 cases per year. For the past year of 1880 the red salmon pack was 832,626 cases, or ap- proXimately half the average for the six previous years.
 Authoritative Information
 For those who believe that l take a biased attitude in describ- ing the conditions in which the fishing industry finds itself, l would quote the opinion of the packing interests as published in their official organ, The Pa cific Fisherman, for September 1880. Says the Pacific Fisher man:
 The Alaska red rack is less than half that of last year, which was about average, the output being the smallest since 1898 Gin a period of g years) This condition is ascribed main ly to the failure of the red salm- on run in Western Alaska, where the production of 355,2OO cases the lowest yield of the species recorded since commercial fish, ing was fairly commenced ill this district.
 l now quote briefly the dole- full report of the Pacific Fisher man for August as it describes the conditions in the large red fish areas Here is what it says:
 Bristol Bay, the great rcdfisil district, has had the worst fail ure in it's history with a total for all. varieties of 395,933.. This may be attributed partly to dras-

oCOI IdClOn OI CQe1r TcQ-SalmO.l pack to the volume of 15 years ago is a testimonial to the ad- ministratiOn of the British Co., lumbia fisheries by practical roen, who introduce no child iSh methods such as drivin., salmon through an aperture in a fence in order to count them, in permitting a legitimate es- exponent of fish to the spawn ing grounds. But above all the British Province speaks volumes for a people who regulate their fisheries according to law: where there are equal rights for all fishermen and favors to none; where there is no discord among the fishing population because all participate in the taking of this great natural provincial resource on terms of absolute equality.
 The Object Lesson
 Southeastern Alaska's 1880 salmon pack was about 3,000,OO0 cases and not less than 5000 men were employed to take the fish from the water.
 British Columbia pack for 1880 was approximately 2,OOO,- 900 cases, and they employed 5000 men to catch the fish.
 Why should I comment fur ther on this subject? While our Nation is laboring in the throes of industrial depression and while unemployment of our ci- tizens is the serious country wide topic of our population, why not step across the inter- national boundary line and note the great object lesson in distri- button of employment that i; shown in the figures I have sub- mitted

 And now Karluk, where the marvellous machinery operates and where the Secretary of Commerce maintains a water tight monopoly for the benefit of the big seine owners, this from the Pacific Fisherman Of October, 1930
 Dr. Wi lis H. Rich, in charge of Pacific salmon investigations, returning from Alaska in the middle of September, stated that this years failure of the Karluk River red run is inexp]icab!e cl the basis of any data now avail able.
 Doctor Rich, a most capable and Withal honest scientist, IS up tree,' so to speak, regard ing the failure of Forl1k fishing :a ear, but let him leave it to his associates, who prepare the annual reports to show that it was a premeditated act of God and to see to it that no terre3- trial powers are involved.
 Comparison
 Thus is recited the story of the Alaska red fishery failure. But let is compare this failure with the statistical reports of the 1930 salmon fishery in Brit ish Columbia The total salmon pack of the Canadian Province of British Columbia for the sea- son of 1880 was 2,l63,712 cases. the greatest salmon pack in the history of the Province.

of darkness.
The local game was played to
a good sized crowd. The Kolts are
beginning to show a little better
team work, their signals working
better and their hitting picking up.
There were rough spots in the
fielding and base running, yet the
boys showed improvement over the
previous games Mabton had an
excellent outfield as shown by nine
putouts out of "a. The infield was
weak on holding thrown balls.
Highlights were few, not many
spectacular plays, but the Kolts
were playing baseball as evidenced
by their taking advantage of the
breaks of the game. In other words
they were on their toes all the
time. This spirit, which must be
kept up, added to plenty of prac-
tice will keep the local boys right
up in the front rank of the league.
One of the essentials in keeping
the Kolt's moral up to par is the
local support in attendance. The
Kolts are trying to give Kenne-
wick better baseball this year than
Kennewick has had for some years
past. They are all local boys play
ing for fun, with the exception of
a hired pitcher. LETS give the
Kolts a hand" Incidentally you
really should see the Indian pit
her, Beetles, work. He is worth the
price of admission alone.

were hopeful of at least 1000. He
touched briefly upon the general
agricultural and business situation

the opinion that the west was real

at this time.
Master Goss during the evening
stressed particularly the need Of
reduction in freight returns and
