In October, 1854, Regina Hartman was
carried off by Indians from her home, SUP

tanned dark brown; when Susan stumbled she
showed white skin above her knees. Their
hair was black with dirt and smoke except
at the roots, where it was blond. Their blue
eyes had an odd look in their dark faces They
had forgotten Regina and Susan; they had
only Indian names and their speech was
Indian.

In a doorway appeared an old woman
wrapped in woolen shawl, once red and
black, now altogether black. Sometimes when
the old woman slept, Regina touched it and
saw her mother sitting on the deck of the ship,
the baby in her arms; saw her in the covered
wagon in which they travelled from Philadel-
phia to the Blue Mountains; saw the shawl
folded in the chest before the Indians carried
it away.

could see thin places in the green and gold roof.
'Oh sing" begged Susan.
Regina set down her basket of walnuts and

"AlOne yet moi alone, am /,

HERRING OIL IS NAMED AS CURE
 FOR TUBERCULAR

Drinking herring oil to ward off tuberculosis has been brought to light by reliable story that comes out of the Kodiak district, say the Seward Gateway.
 A fisherman 12 years ago was going into decline. bearing all the earmarks of a victim of the white plague. He began drinking herring oil, kept it up steadily, and he is now in full strength and still fish ing.
 Little Impurities
 The yarn was brought out when inquiry was made if herring oil was not in use for medicinal purposes, concerning which the fish expert questioned could not say. But he did not know about the afflicted fisherman and his cure.
 Herring oil, properly produced, has been known to show in labora- tory tests less than one per cent of moisture and impurities. There was an output of 100000 gallons of this vital herring product in the Kodiak region alone during the re- cent season.

ESCAPEMENT OF
 SALMON IS GOOD TO WESTWAR
Bureau of Fisheries Com plete Prince Will-
 fam Sound Data

Observation of salmon escape ment to the spawning grounds in streams of Prince William Sound has been complied, Warden Clar- ence Olson of the Bureau of Fish- cries, said, and his estimates indi- cate that the next cycle of salmon will not be below normal, accord ing to recent Cordova Times
 Extremely low water during the middle of the summer due to sub normal rainfall, was supplanted by a normal flow in streams when several heavy rains came while the sound salmon run was still as it's height, he said, and all streams got their usual quota of spawning salmon.
 Observation of escapement to the spawning grounds is one of the many post-season duties of fisheries agents and while the |layman visualizes the counting of spawning salmon in the numerous
 
 streams of the coast a herculean ta six, experienced fisheries men do it in a routine but efficient manner.
 Taking Prince William Sound as an example, the procedure is as follows, according to MT Olson: The area is divided into four major sections and all the salmon streams in each section are count ed, the character of each stream is noted, as well as the kind of bay, lagoon or inlet into which it empties. There are POP salmon streams on the Sound. Each stream is then given a number and it is listed in filing system with all the available information regard ing it. Through long experience in counting fish with the aid of wiers in many different types of streams, the fisheries agent is able to judge by the character of a stream the number of spawning salmon it can accommodate Thus by observing each stream, noting the number of salmon spawning, the number of salmon that have already spawned, that is those that have died, and other indica- tions, that expert is able to judge fairly accurately the number of salmon that have escaped. Wher- ever it is possible the salmon are actually counted as they ascend
 Barring em ergency of heavy freshets, the Sound crop of salmon should be very favorable to another heavy run during the cycle year.
