heavy ruin in that section of the

The ground squirrels nre still
very active in many parts of the.

busy distributing poisoned grain to

Distant Seas Send
Vast Stocks of Fish
To Fulton Market
NEW YORK (AD Governor
Alfred K Smith, son of New York's
enst side, once was asked of he had
ft college degreet according to a
favorite story of the town. Vie re
plied gravely thnt he had nnd. when
asked what, it was, said: " l-
M."
This he translated with n broad
smile: "Kulton Klsh Market." The
governor hud worked there ns a
fish packer In his youth,
t Fulton Fish Market, now in its
j second century, continues us in
younp ' .m ' wmun s time xo ue me
country's greatest crossroads from
fishing smack to dinner table.
located in the lee of Brooklyn
Bridge, its annual business Is esti
mated nt fttfi.onn.nno. . It handles
from SAO. out). 000 to 400.0110,000
pounds Of sea food year in nnd
year out, which H receives all the
jway from the Atlantic to the I'a
fceifio. Great Uikes to th'e Gulf. Brr
' Ing Sea to the Grand Banks, the
! fishmongers say.
The market Fends this tremend
out poundage forth agnin over n
much shorter radius, however. So
; dense is the population in the. nsi
prn area which Kulton Market nup
ptles that the bulk of the shlp-
ments scarcely gets more than loo
I mlle.x from Knst River before it
has absorbed, it Is said.
I When Fulton Market was open
ed in 1822 its 340 original stands
were taken largely by butchers.
But early defaults on saw nnd
cleaver leases, together with grow
ing huslmMs nmong the hunt ling
fishermen and oysterrnen caused
the city authorities that October to
set aside the enst. or Beektnnn
wing "for use of sellers of fish."
Wholesale activity developed, nnd
nix years later the fish industry
moved to a shed of its own across
South street, opposite, tho innin
market, on the water. Ire, then
was unknown commercially, and
fish were kept In float In? "cars"
which were suspended in the Klip
below, bobbing against the hulls of
the smacks. Today, tee is used In
thousands of tons. Save for the
period from 1S43 to 18iii, the name
site, with different, root's hns
housed the wholesalers to this day.
Much of (he deep sea tang of
Fulton Fish Market Is felt lo be
lost with the pa.ssuig of the old time
fishing boats. Craft like the old
Gloucester smacks have largely dis
appeared. 1'ower engineering with
blusis of gas and smoke carried
awav the rigging that endured a
hundred storms. Magneto and car
buretor, t rott le and firebox, have
routed the old sinewy lieaveM on
Jib nnd sheet, topsail and staysail.
Klectn still follow blnefl:h 'from
Hattnrns to Monlnuk. mackerel

and haddock and cod off the Banks.

they nre different fleets.

IN THE PATH
OF PROGRESS
To study any particular human mechanism
properly and diagnose its ills is beyond the
power of any one man.
Rapid scientific advancement demands spe

Instead of one stage there are
many. They are composed of

13 Cents Of

Few people realize the extent of the total levy
of loeal, state and federal taxes upon Eastern Ore
gon Light and rower company.
It amounts to 1.') cents on every dollar which
you pay for electric service.
Notwithstanding this fact, Eastern Oregon
Light and Power company has been able to main
tain the price of electric service without increase,
during the past five years when tax levies have
soared upward.
Can you think of any other American. industry,
