Dr. H. B. Torrey, of Reed Col
lege, Says More Varieties
Should Be
Used.
Cost of Lubor Given as Cause I
for High Price of
Salmon.
The maintenance of an adequate fish
supply Oil this coast and the cause of
the high price of fish was discussed
Tuesday evening at a meeting of the i
Science club by Dr. II. B. Torrey, pro
fessor of natural science at Heed Col
lege, in his talk on “The Conservation
and Utilisation of Our Fish Resources.
Dr. Torrey has had practical exper
ience in this state in experimenting with
salmon and trout in the state hatchery
located on the campus at Ileed college.
Must Turn To Sea For Food.
“It is dear that with the present
food situation, we must turn to the sea
more and more for our food.” lie said,
‘"The North Sea aw a result of this war
is getting a rest, which is a good thing
because it was almost fished out. The
halibut catch on this coast is decreasing
and the cod supply is also suffering,
while the ehinook salmon would have
long ago been extinct if it. were not
for theh hatcheries and laws.”
An increase in varieties of fish eaten
by the people would help solve the prob
lem, he pointed out, because now out
of the four or five hundred species of
fish in the waters, only forty or fifty
kinds are used while one hundred and
fifty or two hundred might be 'used.
“Many of these scrap fish could lie
used,” he said, “for their food value is
high. Though their palata'bility is not
ho good, much of that can lie remedied
i by giving the fish with objectionable
names new names and the proper prep
aration of them in cooking. The muni
cipal market in Portland can get scrap
fish, which consists of all kinds of fish
except salmon and halibut for the cost
of transportation, which is about seven
or eight cents per pound, while salmon,
till* finest food fish in the world, costs
the consumer thirty cents per pound.”
Experiments Are Hooded.
“One cause of the liitth price of sal
mon is the hitch price of labor" lie said.
“There are too many fishermen and the
state law fixing the minimum wage
keeps the price up. In part this is
.just because fishermen formerly wen
poorly paid while their work is very
hard and dangerous. Hut the middle
man who controles the price set by the
retailer loads on five cents per poum;
ji between Astoria and Portland.’’
If the government would spend only
a small part as much on experiment
stations at the fish hatcheries as it does
on agricultural experiment stations, 1 >r.
T *rrey maintained that vast results
would be obtained in the knowledge of
the habits of fish and how to conserve
food. The nearest thing that he knows
anything being done in this work is in
connection with the fish hatchery at
Reed, and there no funds are available
to devote particularly to it.
“The feeding of salmon in the hatch
eries is expensive,” he explained, “be
cause they thrive best on liver, which
is expensive. The little fishes get i'll
three times as well when the liver is
cooked, hut the reasor is a mechanical
one since the raw liver clogs up the
stream and the cooked coagulates.”
They also found out at Heed College
that the little salmon hatched and rear
ed in darkness uutil they are five
months old are five of six times heav
ier than those allowed to live in tlu
light.
"We are paying for the support o
the hatcheries and 'have a right to
know what is being done,” 1'r. Torrey
declared, “and this sort of work is not
being done in the hatcheries; the hatch
ery men have made no measurements
and are not encouraged to do vo; some
even don't think that measuring is
tpraoticable.”
According to his opinion, now is the

time for scientific men to show what
k*alue they are, because for the first
time, on account of the war the people
as a whole have come to realize that
the scientific man can really prove his
crarth.
In the general discussion following
Dr. Torrey’s talk, the present plan of
putting in sportsmen instead of scien
tific men as game commissioners was
deplored, though no action to make an
appeal to the governor was taken.
Meanwhile on the side Professor E. E.
De Cou and Dr. John Bovard got into
an animated discussion whether a steel
head trout was a rainbow trout and
what the difference was. Dr. Torrey
settled the dispute by remarking that
at the end of every controversy on that
point each side was convinced that his
argument was the better.
FRESHMEN TO HAVE
BASEBALL SCHEDULE
Games with Eugene High School
and G. A. C. Rooks to
Begin Next
Week.
Chemawa May Play Here if
Willamette Will Share
Cost cf Trip.
A schedule of games for the fresh
men baseball team is being arranged
by Graduate Manager A. U. Tiffany and
Dean Walker and if their attempts to
arrange games are successful, the first
year men will have at least one game
every week end.
The I'’rosh will take on the Eugene
High School team again next Saturday,
announced Walker yesterday. '1 his
game will be more of a prs-tice affair
than anything else but it should give
the Frosh a good chance to see what
they enn do under fire. The Eugene
High School team has been putting in
some hard work since their last game
with t lie Freshmen and will he able to
put up more of a fight than they (lid
at tlie last meeting.
Dean Walker tried to arrange a game
between tilt! Frosh and Chenniw-a when
the Indian team was here last week,
but Manager Downey, of the Indians,
was of the opinion that it would be too
heavy an expense for them unless some
other game could lie played at the same
time. Downey is to take the matter ;
tip with the manager of Willamette’s |
team and if the two institutions can
arrange to split the expense the series
will lie played.
“At least four games will be played
with the Hooks of (). A. ('. announced
Walker. The series will probably start
next week and if it is found possible
more than four games will be played.
Letters have been sent to various
high schools of the valley but as yet
no replies have been received. There
is some talk of a game with the winner
of the Portland interseholastic league
but so far no steps have been taken
to arrange such a series.

Specificaticns Considered by
War Industries Board with
View to Fixing Standard.
Washington. April IS. America may
goon wear a "Liberty shoe” and "war
suits” to be manufactured at low cost
on a large scale and with very few
shapes.
Models and specifications for the shoe
and suits are being considered by the
war industries board. While board offi
cials said neither is imminent, ultimately
the country must prepare for this stan
dardization. If the example of England
is followed, the tan shoe will go.
The standard war suits will be made
in a few designs of standardized mater
ials and with a retail price fixed.
Itapidly rising prices on necessaries
resulting from the tremendous war or
ders which are usurping the output of
clothing aud shoe factories make neces
sary firm action bv the government to
protect civilian consumers.
Officials indicate that only standard
ized clothing controlled by a sweeping
price-fixing policy covering every stag •
of manufacture from raw material to
tin finished product will save the i uutry
from economic difficulties if the war
continues.
The war industries board is silently
plunging into its price-fixing activities.

to appear tomorrow for conference with

The rapid rise in price of necessaries
lately has alarmed officials. The prices
are not the result in all cases of short
age of raw materials. Raw cotton, for
uruppeu sUarpiy on the cotton
exchange last week, but in the last two
months prices of finished cotton products
have practically doubled, it was stated
Orders for hundreds of thousands of
yards of gauze are usurping the output
of looms. The same is true of leather,
hides being as plentiful as ever, while
shoes are soaring in price.
Officials are also keeping ar, eye on
post war foreign trade and their deter
mination to hold down prices is explain
ed in part as a desire to have America
at the end of the war on a price level
which will permit competition with for
eign countries. They point out that if
prices are allowed to rise now, labor
will demand its share of the increase,
supplies will go up, and once raised, it
will be extremely difficult to attempt a
reduction such as would be necessary
when the American manufacturers under
sell other countries.
England's success is standardizing
clothing is being carefully studied and
it is probable that whatever America
does will be modeled after the action of
