Life History of Salmon
Ward T Bow?r, the new fish
i\>mml?ioner for Alaska, who suc
ceeded Commissioner Cobb, has e\
pressed some views regarding th?
cultivation of fish in the waters ol
this Territory. From h recent
comment of his we take the follow
ing:
"Broadly shaking, operations wil
be along the same general line
heretofore followed However, there
is In contemplation a more compre
hensive and systematic study with
respect to certain features of tht
work, notably an effort to throw
further light on the life history oi
each of the five species of salmon
in Alaska waters. Much has al
ready been accomplished in this
direction, but the field is a wide
?ne and further data will prove
most useful. As illustrative of one
i>f the phases of the work, collec
tions of scales taken from the dif
ferent species of salmon, also her
ring. will be made from time to
:ime and In different localities. It
!ias recently been discovered by
t-Turopeon investigators that the
ige of a fish and other facts can
determined accurately by obser
ration of the concentric rings show
ng the like growth of a tree.
"There is great need of a biologi
al station in Alaska, affording fa
ilities for the scientific sttJdy of
?radical fishery problems. The re
ults of such research would 110
loubt be of great benefit comraer
Ifally."

i :?nd chicf aim and objection of the
- bureau of fisheries to aid the
- fishing interests and Inaugurate ex
> ploration along lines which will re
f suit, eventually, in the further ex
pansion of the industry. The conse.
' vat km and husbanding of the fish
eries is believed In to the extent of
I permitting ,a sufficient number of
>! fish to reach the spawning grounds
s|to prevent a decrease in the future'
supply, i^et the fisherman of to
ijday hate the surplus. This is b?
> lieved to be a wise application of
; the principles of conservation. Hut
to attain this end it is necessary to
'tave the co-operation of the fishing
interests and the carefnl observance
i at all times of the fisheries laws
i and regulations.
"It is probable that this winter
congress will make certain additions
J to the present Alaska fisheries]
' laws. Among the more important
features under consideration is the
licensing and regulation of fish trap
sites. The present law Is quite de
ficient on this point. Among other
additions it is proposed that the
government shall operate all hatch
eries The present private hatch
eries under this arrangement would
be taken over at a fair valuation.
Another provision is that at the end
of a certain term of years the man
ufacture of oil from edible fish
shall be unlawful. There will also
undoubtedly be a change In the
tax on canned salmon. Instead of
the flat four-cent rate now prevail
ing, a scale adjusted to the various
grades and values of salmon will
be fixed. Thus the tax on a case
of chum or pink salmon will not be
as great as it is on a case of the
more valuable red or king salmon.
"The fishing industry of South
eastern Alaska has received a tre-,
j mendous impetus this year through
| the opening of twenty-one new can
neries, twenty shore stations and
one floating outfit. This nearly
??quals the total twenty-three oper
ated in 1910, and together with the
j ten new plans last year, now makes
a grand total of fifty-four cannerle#
I In this district."
THE SOFT ANSWER.
Gvienl Scott's Retort to Hit Whlet
Partner % Apology.
After his retirement General Scott
passed the summer of 1S(?2 at Cozzen'a
hotel, West Point. ? here every even
ing a party of pent lemon adjourned to
the general'* sitting room for their
game. Being a good player, the host
was usually victorious, but if he and
bis partner were ever beaten Scott's
ire was made manifest.
One night it hapi<ened that the usual
party was piissing. What was to be j
done? The general roust have hit
whist. There happened to be staying
at the tntel a Judge, who was asked to
do the favor of taking the fourth hand
With some protest on his part he ,
agreed to do it By cutting for part
ners the general and the Judge played
together and were beaten? horribly
beaten.
Knowing how it Irritated the gen
eral to lose the game, the judge as he
rose from the table said In his most
dignified and courtly way: "I formerly
played a fairly good game of whist,
but have been out of practice so long
that I nm somewhat rusty. I hope
that fact may be taken as an excuse
for my mistakes."
Whereupon the general arose with
equal dignity and retorted, "I am glad
to learn that I have been playing with
latent talent aud not with a natural
born fool!"
MISSED THE MARK.
It Wai Not th? Minister'* Fault That
Hit Shafts Want Attray.
Mr. McI>ougnll was n Scotsman, and
i of him a (rood story la told. He was a
i large. pompous mnn. Intolerably self
conceited and arro^int? In fact, hla
i conduct toward his neighbors was ao
offensive that the pood people success
fully requested their minister to preach
a sermon directed at their vain nelRh
] bor.
The day came. The little kirk was
packed, though a few tender hearted
| ones stayed at home, not wishing to
witness their neighbor's humiliation.
| The sermon l>egnn. and Mr. McDon
gall disposed himself to listen. The
man's infirmity was sketched with
Mid. severe strokes. He smiled with
lofty superiority. As the denunciation t
j grew more scathing his stnile deepened
with a touch of complacent pity. At
the conclusion of the service he swag
gered down the aisle. One of the eld I
| ers Joined him. I
