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. f ; The new English salt trust has al [ reaiy put u.p pure common salt from 60 I ,co its to $2 25 per ton, and lump export Sa't from $2 to $3.75.

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 Porous Plaster.
