A MODERN MIRACLE
"Tiuly miraculous seemed the recovery
of Mrs. Mollis Holt of this place," writes
J. O. R. Hooper, Woodford, Tenn.. she
was so wasted by coughing up pus from
her lungs. Doctors declared her end so
near that her family had watched by her
bed-side forty-eight hours; when, at my
urgent request Dr. King s New Discovery
was given her, and with the astonishing
result that improvement began, and con
tinued until she Anally completely recov
ered, and is a healthy woman today.'

(Scrlppi New Association)
Washington, January 27. All fussy
over the attitude of a number of of west
ern states, including Washington and Ore
gon, in regard to the protection of fishes.
Commissioner George M. Bowers, of the
Bureau of Fisheries, has set out to teach
those states a lesson that they ought to
know. He would be happy if Secretary
Metcalf of the ; department of commerce
and labor, under whose supervision the
fisheries bureau comes, would follow his
advice to discontinue all government fish
ery work in those states that "exhibit no
healthy sentiment in favor of the preser
votion of their supply of food and game
fishes." There are a few other punitive
measures he would take in spanking the
western states.
California has been very thoughtful, the
commissioner believes, in its provision to
insure ine Mitinipo.ii u i.itritiin
various species, particularly salmon. But
Oregon and Washington! He speaks of
the curtailing of the "already too short
closed seasons" on the Columbia and
other rivers, by the erection of impassable
dams in streams that salmon are wont to
ascend to spawn, and by the "unrestrict
ed operation of fishing devices in locali
ties, where they are known to be unnecess
arily destructive.".
A pernicious example of the unrestrict
ed operation", says he, "is the multiplica
tion of pound nets and gill nets about the
mouth of the Skagit river on Puget Sound,
notwithstanding the well-known facts
that it is the only stream in that region
in which there is a noteworthy run of
blueback or sock-eye salmon for spawn
ing purposes, and that the only hatchery
operated chiefly for this species is locat
ed on Baker Lake, at the head of that
stream. The present indications are that
the Baker Lake hatchery may shortly
have to be abandoned, because the run of
fish will have been annihilated,"
THE TIME OF THEIR LIVES
The following letter from the Hon. J.
W. McAllister will give an idea how
California tourist the turist trade. There
is some good food for reflection here.

"Death was fast approaching." writes
Ralph F. Fernandez, of Tampa, Fla., de
scribing his fearful race with death, "as
a result of liver trouble and heart dis
ease, which had robbed me of sleep and
of all interest in life. 1 had tried many dif
ferent doctors and several medicines, but
got no benefit, until 1 began to use Elec
tric Bitters. So wonderful was their ef
fect, that in three days I felt like a new
man, and today 1 am cured of all my
troubles." Guaranteed at Newlin's Druir

The western states might take a little
more care of fish . In streams that feed
irrigation flumes. In some states, the
commissioner says, the destruction cf
fish life from this cause, has already be
come serious. Well informed persons
have told him that extinction in the near
future is the natural outcome of the
course pursued by state officials of Mon
tana. The Commissioner, in event that
Montana and other states do not look
after their own fish, will urge 'Congress
to pass a law requiring some contrivance
to be placed at the head of ditches to
frighten fishes away from the intake and
prevent their being washed out upon the
land to die.
And right now is the time that the
bureau has in mind doing so many things
for the Pacific coast. Among these is
continued efforts to acclimate the eastern
!-K.f.r tn the Pacific conditions. No other
fishery product of the eastern seaboard
would be such a boon, the commissioner
claims. H would plant large quantities
in California, Oregon. Washington and
Alaska.
Commissioner Bowers says that during
the last year the Pacific salmon were
propogated in larger numbers than ever
before, but the work on the Columbia
was discouraging.
Commissioner .Bowers wants the state
of California to transplant the golden
trout from Volcano creek, now its only
habitat, to surrounding streams. Presi
dent Roosevelt some time ago asked the
bureau to do something to save this fish
of great beauty, gameness and delicious
flavor, from extinction. In addition to
the work mapped out for the state, the
commissioner wants the United States to
extend the limits of Mount Whitney Mili
tary Reservation to include Volcano creek
and to require that all fishing therein be
prohibited for three years and. that there
after Ibe size and number of catch be
limited.
