Salmon Run DELAYS
Army's Practice in
Exploding Mines

Because fish simply can't be
made to understand about ma
tional defense, the Army has
had to postpone its annual
practice of exploding mines in
the mouth of the Columbia
River until after December l,
when the Chinook salmon run
will be over.
Troops at Fort Stevens, Oreg..
manning the harbor defenses
in that area, were scheduled to
practice mine laying during the
same time the great schools of
Chinooks return to spawn in
the upper branches of the COL
umbia. Evidently, no one in
authority sought to consult with
the salmon but when the matter
was brought to the attention of
the War Department in Wash
ington it was considered a
problem of prime Importance.
Now the Fort Stevens troops
will wait until the salmon go
upstream before exploding their
mines.

guiding the country's farmers into
cooperation with the new agricul-
tural economy that the war has
brought. Formerly, we had a prob
lem of too much. Now it is a prob
lem of too little, as We provide food
for the British.
Mr.. Wickard will offer some solace
for the city consumer of the coun-
try products, whose prices are rising.
He intends to explain why the in
crease is justified, especially in view
of the fact that food prices during
past years have been exceptionally
low. At the present time Agricul-
