CIGARETTES LEGAL
IN NORTH DAKOTA,
BEGINNING TODAY
FARGO, N. D., Apr. 24—For the
first time in twelve years, cigarettes
were lawfully sold in North Dakota
today. The 1925 session of the North
Dakota legislature passed two meas
ures repealing the statue of 1913, pro
hibiting “the manufacture, sale, dis
posing of, giving away, and soliciting
orders for cigarette papers” under
penalty.
Because of the emergency clause,
the two laws are effective today. Li
censes and stamp taxes, estimated to
bring in $500,000 in revenue, are pro
vided for and the use of the injunc
tion in enforcing the regulations and
the prohibition against sale to minors.
State Women’s Christian Temper
ance Union headquarters, who led
successfully the fight against repeal
of the anti-cigarette law in the six leg
islatures and in one election where a
measure permitting their sale was in
itiated, say that in order to secure
half a million in stamp taxes and li
censes, North Dakotans must spend
$3,000,000 more annually than they do
now for tobacco.
The argument of non-enforcement
was used in passing the measures.
The two women legislators voted
against the bills, with the result the
W. C. T. U. suggests a concentrated
effort to elect more women to the leg
islature in 1927. The Temperance
Union does not now contemplate re
ferring the laws next year, as it is
their belief that public opinion will
in time demand repeal.
Gateway want-ads bring results.

Propagation Salmon
in Salt Water Has
Proven Successful
The theory advanced some time
ago by the Territorial fish commis
sion that humpback salmon could be
propagated better in salt water is
borne out by experiments conducted
at the Ketchikan hatchery where salt
water rearing and feeding pond wras
constructed. These fish were plac
ed in the pond on June 2, at a maxi
mum length of two and three quarter
inches. Their growth was remark
able, on August 21, the fish having at
tained a length of eight inches at
which time they were released in
the ocean. Ten thousand of these
salmon were marked on August 12,
before being loosened, by one of the
fins being cut.
A portion of the fry were retaiii
ed in the feeding pond and will be
reared to maturity in order to dem
onstarte that they can be success-1
fully raised in captivity.
The primary object of these rear
ing ponds is for the purpose of pro
tection. Instead of releasing finger
lings the fish are retained in the
pond until they attain a size which
render them immune from predatory
enemies, thus insuring less loss. An
other object of the commission is
that when there is a shortage of the
fish or fry in one section, fry or eggs
can be taken from one hatchery to
build up another.
The idea of a salt w'ater feeding
pond originated with the territorial
fish commission in the face of seri
ous objection from experts in the
Washington and British Columbia bu
reau of fisheries, but since the plan
has been successfully demonstrated
these bureaus are preparing to adopt
the plan and coordinate with the lo
cal bureau.
At the present time a rearing pool
is being constructed by the State of
Washington, the pond being ten
acres in extent. .Many prominent
cannerymen are also thinking seri
ously of putting in their own hatch
eries and rearing ponds, to insure a
steady supply of fish.
The growth of these fish in the
Ketchikan pool was phenominal, those
in fresh water attaining no growth to
speak of in comparison with the salt
water fish.
Experiments in the Seward hatch
ery will be conducted along these
lines in red and Chinook salmon, and
if successful will insure a steady sup
ply of fish from now on. A new
practice will be put into effect in the
territorial hatcheries that instead of
releasing lingerlings, which are too
small to successfully elude their ene
mies, the fisli will be held as long
as possible, or until they attain a
growth enabling them self protection.
H. E. Ellsworth, local member of the
commission plans to construct a
pond near the road in the section
near the old powder house, where
these fish may be reared in salt
water and can be viewed by the pub
lic and a check kept upon their
growth.
With the coming appropriation it
is expected to give aid to the Yu
kon and Tanana rivers this year by
taking spawn from these rivers,
hatching them in the local hatchery
and releasing them in the Fairbanks
district, to help build up the Yukon
section.
Many improvements are contem
plated at the local hatchery this
year, a barrier being erected at
Bear Lake, stream clearing in the
Knik Arm section, and stream clear
ing in the Kenai lake district. An
appropriation of $80,000 has been
asked for, which will cover a period
of two years.
A jar of humpback salmon and a
chart showing their wonderful
growth, was brought to Seward by
Mr. Ellsworth, who returned on the
last boat from a meeting of the com
mission at Juneau.

INVADE VAST REACHES
OF TEXAS RANCHESi
DENISON. Tex., April 24.—Evi- .
dences of the passing on of the pic
turesque frontier cowboy, and the
splitting up of many of the open j
ranges over which he bearded mil
lions of cattle and brought untamed
■horses to the usefulness of men and
the industry, are beginning to appear
in the Lone Star state, whose vast
ness is filled with lore in the busi
ness of cattle raising.
Cotton and general farming are
coming to the front as challengers
for honors in the industry for which
Texas long has been the most noted,
cattle. Not that the beefers or their
prominence, as a big state asset are
to be supplanted, the business is still
t and will continue to be a tremendous
one, but agriculture, and particular
ly cotton, are allowing many cattle
men the way to new fields of crop
and land values.
The Texas and Southwestern Cat
tle Raisers’ Association lost 6S0 mem
bers during the year, a large num
ber having retired from the cattle
business, but a gain of 210 members
also were noted. Consumption of
beef was shown in an association
report to have increased slightly. At
■the conference of the Association of
Southern Agricultural Workers it
was more profitable than ranching,
and that the Panhandle was passing
on.
At this conference it was said that
Texas’ 1924 yield of over four million
bales of cotton would soon be in
creased to six million bales and that
in the near future the state would
yield twelve million bales if the state
was pressed and the ranchers and
farmers were asked to respond. It
was added that the Panhandle ranch*
es were being sold to farmers.
Ranchers are now finding it more!
profitable to dispose of their lands
to the farmers, or work them as
farms themselves, and many of them
have sold their cattle, disposed of
their teams and cow ponies, and pur
chased tractors.
West and northwest Texas, a vast
domain of rolling plains where cow
boy fiction was framed, are about
ready to give up to latter devices.
Where once the lariat and horseman j
roamed the chaparral, the plow and!
tractor have appeared in many sec-j
tions.

NARCOTICS SALESMAN
FACES MORE TROUBLE
SAN FRANCISCO, April 24.—Mor
ris Lavine was sentenced yesterday
to one day in the county jail for sell
ing narcotics, an offense which usu
ally results in the offender going to
prison for several years.
But the apparent leniency of the
United States judge did not bring a
smile to Lavine’s face or cheer! to
Lavines heart.
The light sentence had been im
posed merely to meet the conveni
ence of detectives from Chicago who
are waiting to take back Lavine, who
jumped bail while awaiting an appeal
for a twenty-year sentence for burg
lary.
