THE SALMON WHEEL.
Efficacious but Shortsighted Meth
od of Wholesale Fishing.
- The man 'who invented the Columbia
river salmon wheel was a genius. The
laziest fisherman who ever baited a hook
could ask no easier way of landing a
fish. And only the fact that it can only
be used at certain points on the stream
prevents this machine from exterminat
ing the salmon in one season. Imagine
a common undershot wheel, with the
buckets turned the wrong way about.
This is set in a high narrow flume, near
the bank of the river where the current
is very swift. From the down stream
end of the flume, extended outward at
an angle of 45 degrees, are two upright
fences formed by pickets driven closely
together into the bottom of the river and
•wired to keep them from washing away.
Just above the wheel, (which is some 10
feet in diameter) at the up-stream end,
is a platform, from which a box flume
’ runs to the shore.
Now let us see how it works. When
the salmon are running, as everybody
knows, they come up in the Columbia
river in millions. The stream is very
deep, and a large percentage always suc
ceed in getting to the breeding grounds
iin safety. When salmon are running
“P a river they are constantly on the
lookout for small streams in which to
spawn. Also where the current is very
swift they are unable to make headway
in the centre of the stream, and conse
quently seek the more quiet water near
the bank. Os these two instincts the
inventor of the fish wheel took a mean
advantage. At the Cascades, for in
stance, where the water is very swift, he
L sets his wheel. Here come the fish,
hugging the bank by thousands—great
black fellows, from 2 to 4 feet long,'
heading resolutely up stream. Nothing
, can turn them backward. That wonder
ful instinct of nature which insures the
S reservation of species, is nowhere better
eveloped than in a salmon. But in
this instance it proves his destruction.
Now they are just below that
widespread fence. The current
which is rushing through the flume
; and turning the big wheel at a lively
I pace attracts their attention. The up
per fence, which sets nearly square
. across the stream, makes quiet water
hero, and this flow seems to come from
the bank. This, to the salmon’s mind
j ia evidently the mouth of a shallow
I creek, here is a spawning ground to
our liking, and up this little stream we
go. So they crowd up between the two
j narrowing fences towards the fatal wheel.
The first fish reaches it goes wtih a rush
I to overcome the current, is caught by a
I bucket, and up he goes high in the air,
t while every bucket brings up another
I and another, till there is a procession of
■Bsoending fish. At the top the velocity
I throws the fish violently upon the plat-
I form, from which he shoots down the
I flume to a great tank on the shore. Here
I come the fish crowding each other for-
I • ward to that busy wheel. None can go
■ under nor to one side. None will go
!. bock. And once a school starts for a
wheel the owner can consider that he
1 has a title deed to the entire lot.
K One wheel will run a cannery. Day
and night, while the run lasts, they
.. come flying up the wheel and shooting
down the flume in a continuous stream.
Fortunately there are but few places on
Hie river where the wheels can be work
ed with this result. Where the fish can
keep in the middle of the river few can
be caught in this way. But the men
who control these points are making
L ■ fortunes. As it is, salmon are rapidly
; disappearing from the Columbia. Many
; canneries are idle this season, and the
I fishermen’s price per fish is rising every
year. Surely this engine of destruction
18 largely the cause. — Livermore Herald.

•"fake overytfiing that I have but my good
name; leave me that and lam content.” So
said the philosopher. So say all manufactur
ers of genuine articles to that horde of imita
tors which thrives upon the reputation of oth
ers. The good name of Allcock’s Porous
Plasters has induced many adventurers to
put in the market imitations that are not only
lacking in the best elements of the genuine ar
ticle, bat are often harmful in their effects.
The public should be on their guard against
these frauds, and, when an external remedy is
needed,be sure to insist upon having Allcock’b

««A Word to the Wise is Sufiicient.”
Catarrh is not simply an inconvenience, un
pleasant to the sufferer and disgusting to oth
ers—it is an advanced outjtost of approaching
disease of worse type. Do not neglect its warn
ing; it brings deadly evils in its train. Delore
it to too late, use Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy.
It reaches the seat of the ailn ont, and is the
only thing that will. You may dose yourself
with quack medicines’till it is too late—till
the streamlet becomes a resistless torrent. It is
the matured invention of a scientific phj siciau.

This is a funny phrase to the uninitiated.but
all the brokers understand it. They use it
when a person gives a certain per cent, for the
option of buying or selling stock on a fixed
day, at a price stated on the day the option is
given. It is often a serious operation to the
dealer, but there is a more serious “put ana
call" than this: when you are “put to bed with
a severe cold and your friends '‘call” a physi

Paul. Now what Is the use, Sarah, of cui
taking several magazines, when we can gel
the whole thing combined in one ? When we
were over to the Stetsons’ the olher evening,
I happened to pick up the one they take, and
after glancing it over could account for your
always goin-c to Mrs. Stetson tor information,
and it was very evident where she gets her
information from.
Sarah. Well, Pail, I am glad you have
come to your senses at last! If you will re
member, I have wanted for some time to take
the same Magazine that they do, but you have
always put me off by objecting to my taking a
Fashion Magazine. The fact is, a Family
Magazine that is published to interest every
member of thefamdy, mu-t contain a Fashion
department; and it is a great credit to Dem
orest’s Monthly Magazine that its Fashion
department, Like all its other departments, is
so perfect. But Mr. Stetson is al wavs as anx
ious for its arrival as his wife, so he"must find
in it just what he wants, too. I under
stand that the publisher, W. Jennings
Demorest, 15 East 14th street. New York
will send a specimen copy for 10 cents’
I am going to send for one, for I can certainly
lose nothing, as each number contains a “Pat
tern Order” worth 30 cents, for it entitles th,
holder to any pattern she mav choose. The
Magazine is only $2 per year, and worth ten
times that amount.
