In California, our Towering
shrubs seem to run mostly tc yellow.
yellow is a bright cheerful coor,
and we woud not want to exclude il
from our gardens, but we should
plan our planting to include a few
.cds. whites and blues as we'll.
One of the finest red feWerins
shrubs to be found in California
gardens is the Callistemon Vimin-
ais. a variety Of bottle bush. For
tlnatelv it is also one which does
exceptionally well in this district.
The Callistemon is a laSt growing
evergreen shrub, with long, narrow,
dark green leaves and covered IN
the spring with large bright red
cylindrical shaped flowers. 1t will
do well in either partial shade Or
in full sunshine; but it loves the
sun and should not be planted
where it will always be shaded.
Among the newer plants which
give promise Of being adapted to
cur climate is a cousin Of the Hibis-
Gus. the Mexican MalloW. The bot
anical name Of this plant IS SEhco-
falcea Umbellata, it grows four TO
six feet high and is much harder
than the Hibiscus. Quoting from

BidWeI Writes Congressional Committee
OF Needed Changes In Fishing Laws

The following letter by George NJ.
Bidwell was filed at the fisheries
hearing held by a congressional
committee at Wrangell on September
10.
Wrangell. Alaska
Sept. 4. 1893
United States Bureau Of Fisheries.
Investigating Committee,
Wrangell, Alaska
Dear Sirs:-
I have been requested by the local
fishermen and many other respon-
sible citizens of Alaska, to present
some of their views on the manner
of taking Salmon and Herring from
our Alaskan waters.
1st. The conservation of both Sal
mon and Herring.
2nd. The methods used that will re-
suit in the greatest development of
Alaska and the most benefit to Al
askan residents.
Ny sponsors claim that the traps
catch So percent of the salmon. That
non-residents, that money received
for fish from said traps is taken to
the States. that there are several
small canneries trying to compete
by obtaining their fish from seiners
paying a higher price, that if the
traps were eliminated all canneries
would be placed ON an equal basis
so far as securing their supply of
fish.
Furthermore, if the traps were
eliminated it would cause much
greater development and settling up
of Alaska that our Federal Govern
ment is so anxious about. Besides, it
would make it possible for the resi-
dent fishermen to continue to main
tain their homes and boats in Alas
ka. The extra money that the sein-
ers would receive for salmon if the
traps were removed would enable
said fishermen to live decently, and
this money would be spent with 10
cal merchants and would cause a
remarkable increase in all lines of
business in Alaska. Besides, if the
traps are not abolished, there will
be a continuously less supply of sal
mon each year.
The seiners at present are only
catching about Is percent of the
salmon, cannot pay their bills, and
make only scant living at the best.
Therefore, to conserve the salmon,
to settle up Alaska and make it pos
sible for fishermen to maintain
their homes in Alaska, besides bene
fitting and increasing business to a
great extent we say that the traps
must go.
The Federal Government is spend
ing millions to colonize Alaska. The
fishermen feel that the Government
should at least protect them by cur
failing and eventually abolishing
all the traps This opinion is almost
unanimous.
Finally, the taking of Herring for
Oil and Fertilizer is one of the
crimes of the century and the rap
ing of the fishing industry.
Why let a few reduction plants
owned by outside interests destroy
one branch of the salmon industry
thereby causing hundreds if not
thousands of fishermen to be unable
to live and follow their livelihood.
Besides these herring being a Won

derful food for human consumption,
it is also the food for many varieties
of fish, especially the King Salmon.
These reduction plants are cleaning
up the herring SO fast that at times
it is impossible for the salmon to
congregate in their usual locations
When the herring are cleaned out as
they are the salmon disappear. Then
the fishermen suffer and cannot
make a living.
The owners of these reduction
plants do not live in Alaska. They
ship in most of their employees, all
materials used to run their plants
and even use their own boats to
bring said employees and materials
to Alaska. Why allow this great
crime when it only benefits a few
rich outsiders; does not benefit Al
aska in the least; ruins the King
Salmon industry and makes it i'm
possible for many hundreds or
thousands of fishermen to make even
the meager living they have eked
out in the past.
Trusting that you will Investigate
thoroughly from all sides and do all
you can fer those needing help, the
fishermen, and thanking you in ad-
vance for taking up your valuable
time. | am

HOLLYWOOD sTAR-LITEs

HOLLYWOOD (Exclusive) = So few persons actually under stand the process of color films, which today are more popular than ever before, that your Holly wood correspondent is going to attempt to explain the intricate deails of making color pictures.
 The Technicolor process, with three negatives simultaneously in the camera. Single lenses are us- ed, as in black and white photo graphy, but lenses which have been color corrected. The same selection of lenses, as to focal length is available. A beam of light is transmitted through the lens, is directed onto a prism be hind the shutter.
 The prism directs half the beam to a green filter which will transmit the light to expose the green image on the negative, the other half to a magenta filter which will transmit the light to expose the blue and red images.
 The negatives on which the blue and red images are expos ed are a bipack, the first nega- tive being an ortho emulsion which records the blue image. A red filter in the base of the first negative, transmits the red image to the second engative of the bi- pack.
 The three negatives thus ex- posed are developed in the usual manner and contact print made from each. These three prints are raised relief images known as matrices and are a compile ment to the negative from which they were made.
 The print made from the blue image negative is thus minus blue, or yellow; from the red negative, minus red or cyan; from the green negative, minus green, or magenta.
