several years ago. Since ha haa been

The Los Angelea team, which comes

WASHINGTON. July XL In tha In
terest of Alaskan salmon, the extermi
nation of the freshwater sculpln. called
also "millers thumb," "bull-neaa or
"blob." Is urgently demanded. It Is
worthless fish, with a tendency to feed
on salmon fry and salmon eggs, ana
haa a voracloua appetite and wonder
ful digestive apparatus.
Messrs. Pean and Weed, of tne divis
ion of Fishes, of the United States
National Museum, have recently Inves
tigated the "blob" and find that It Is
extremely destructive to salmon eggs.
These fish have no trouble gathering
In the fry, two or three Inchea long, and
occasionally manage to corner some
larger ones.
Fourteen blobs were found to have
made way with 1 salmon and 44 eggs.
an average of almost three aalmon and
a little over three eggs for each fish.
These blobs were not at all particular
ibout holding to the average, as some
of them had exceeded It materially, nor
did they bear out the theory well
known to every fisherman that the bait
la first turned by the fish and swal
lowed head foremost. 'The blobs. It
seems, eat them both ways.
Destruction Is Enormous.
The destructive average of the blob
is estimated at six salmon a day, which
Is maintained for about 60 days a year.
This would make the deatructlve ca
pacity of one fish total 360 salmon an
nually, to say nothing of the little
trout gathered in and sometimes little
blobs. The latter kind of reeding-, how
ever, meets with the approval or tne
fish experts.
Blobs In general are bottom fish and
prefer to remain hidden under stones,
etc It Is Just In similar places that
young salmon and trout hide at certain
hours of the day, usually when the sun
Is hottest. It Is then th'at the blobs can
get them with the least difficulty. For
this reason It la believed the stomach
contents of each of the blobs examined
represented one day's feeding and that
nnder proper conditions (when the sal
mon eggs or young salmon are avail
able) tha same amount would be eaten
each day.
The greediness of some of the blobs
was remarkable. One had eaten seven
salmon, five of which were about two
Inches long and the other two nearly
three Inches long. The last fish eaten
had been swallowed tail first. As
there waa no room In the blob's stom
ach for this one, only Us tall was found
there, while its head stretched up Into
tha mouth of the blob.
Destruction la .Counseled.
Fred Patching, superintendent ofhe
Fortmann hatchery, Lorlng, Alaska,
sent the 14 blobs to the Division of
Fishes. Commenting on their d est rue
tive work, he says:
"Until we made trapa I had no Idea
there were so many bullheads (or
blobs) In Helm Bay stream. One morn
ing we caught 1700 in three small traps.
ind In 25 days tha total catch of blobs
was Il.oou. i ney are enemies ot ine
salmon and should be destroyed when
ever caught."
Mr. Patching had held that it re
quired from 12 to 20 years for a salmon
to reach full maturity. Several years
ago ths Bureau of Fisheries marked a
large number of sulmon fry and turned
them loose in Helm Bay stream. The
theory was disproved, however, by the
capture of 1 of the marked fish in Tes
Bay that had been in tne water only
five or six years, but were found to be
full grown. The fact that they were
found In Tea Bay also failed to sub
stantiate the theory that fish would
return to the stream ,ln which they
were liberated.
Barton A. Bean and Alfred C. weed.
ot the National Museum staff, who have
made a special study of the subject,
have written a history of the blob,
which has been published under the
title of "Notes on Certain Features of
the Life History of the Alaskan Fresh
water ' Sculpln, In the Smithsonian
Miscellaneous Collections.

Washington have the forest fire done
so little damage to standing green tlm

stopped the flames from gaining dam
aging headway. If rain falls within the

Hmr win he practically passed, al
though 'deputies are being warned not
to relax their vigilance.
Thousands of acres of burned-over
and loarred-off land have been run by
flrea starting from slashing blazes and
sparks from engines, btt each time
the flghtera gained control before the
green timber was touched.

REDUCED RATES ON ALL. LINES
Don't allow
your wife to
be depend
ent on her
friends.
Sacrifice a little something your
self. Buy her a Woods Electric
and let her experience the de
lights of independence and so
cial prestige which come with it.
The Woods Electric in itself is.
a standing vacation and recrea
tion. It' takes away the weary,
worn look that settles on the face
of the woman who stays at home.
Buy one for your wife and you
will never experience the uneasy
fear that you are not giving her
a fair shake.
The Woods is the only per
fectly built electric car in the
world. You'll find them in the
capital of France by the score,
and there are no people in the
world who know more about me
chanically correct cars than the
French. In this city and other
great cities of the Union, the
Woods is recognized as the So
cial Necessity. If you have the
Woods you are above criticism.
Solid rubber tires first, last
and all the time.
