NO MORE PASSES ON
NEW JERSEY RAILROADS
j THKNTON, N. .1., Dec. 21.—The
! Federal railroad administration has
| decided that the state law requiring
railroads in New Jersey to furnish
j passes to certain officeholders is of
; no effect while Uncle Sam is operat
| ing the railroads. Thus, after Janu
ary 1. 1919, certain New Jersey citi
j zens will either pay fare, walk, stay
I at home or board In Trenton.
The governor, state senators, mem
bers of the house of assembly, judges
of the higher courts, certain state of
ficers other than the executives have
been entitled to these passes, as well
as most of the legislative employees.
Bach year the legislature either
added to or made an effort to enlarge
the list.
The passes, it is said, were used
throughout the year by many holders
and were especially desirable to the
South Jersey resident who spent his
summers at the shore. Many of the
officials now commute to Trenton on
their passes.

SKATTLK, Pec 21.—The obtaining
of .14,631.000 sockoye salmon eggs <
from the Afognak station in Alaska,
at the elose of the rerent spawning
season, is believed by the bureau of

covery of that stream from the disas
trous effects of the Katmal volcanic
eruption of 1012. Because of the en
couraging situation, the natives dur
itig the past summer were alowed to j
resume commercial fishing on a lim
ited scale

sidered satisfactory by the bureau,
more than 43,000,000 soekeye eggs
having been obtained. Of the 1,365,
000 humpbacks' eggs secured, the
greater portion will lie shipped to the
