Washington, California and .Alaska. He expects to maintain his headquarters at Oregon City for the j-resent. though later It may be neces sary to move to Seattle because of the Importance of the Pugret Sound work end the extent of the Alaska field. Mr. 0'Malleys successor in charge of the Clackamas Station and sub-station has rot been named, though recommenda tion has been made. Mr O'Malley came to Oregon city January 1. 1907, having been trans ferred from the position of superin tendent of the Baker Lake Station. In Washington, where in four years he built the plant from a small one to one of the most important and best equipped hatcheries on the coast. Egg-Take Increases. At the Clackamas Station under his direction the egg-take has increased steadily, until this year when a grand total of over 53,000,000 salmon and trout eggs were obtained and nearly 8 000,000 shad eggs. The Clackamas Held Includes the Big White Salmon and the Little White Salmon rivers in "Washington, bordering on the Columbia TUver; the River Mill Station, on the Clackamas below Kstacada; Elk Creek Station, on the Upper Rogue River: Lower Rogue River hatchery, situated a few miles below Medford: the Apple gate Creek Station and Illinois River Station, on tributaries of the Rogue near Grants Pass, and Clackamas Sta tion proper. Since Mr. O'Malley came to Oregon City the old station has prac tical been rebuilt, with larger and more modern hatching houses, an in creased water supply and equipped to insure greater care for the baby fish as well as to increase the egg capacity. Mr. O'Malley entered the service 17 years ago as assistant, fish culturist at fct. Johnsbury. Vt. Less than two years afterward he was transferred to Lead vtlie. Colo. Kms Separation Attained. At both these stations the principal work was the propagation of Eastern brook trout, black spotted trout and rainbow trout. From Leadville he was sent to Baker Lake and promoted to llsh culturist, and when Superintendent Buck resigned Mr. O'Malley was ap j.oirtted in his place. His first work was to install a fish trap at Baker Lake, and this necessitated taking machinery in by pack-horse over the roughest of mountain trails. This was the means of saving the government many thousands of dollars annually. He discovered the plan for using a salt solution for separating the dead eggs from the live ones. Until this discov ery was made it had always been neces. sary to pick out the dead eggs by hand. The salt solution caused the dead ?gs to float on top of the water, where they were dipped ojf with a scaff net. Mr. O'Malley's work has not been pleas ing to the Washington office alone, but the cannerymen of both the Columbia River and Puget Sound as well as the sportsmen of both states praise him. Mr. O'Malley is serving his second term as exalted ruler of the Oregon City Lodge of Elks and is high priest of the Clackamas Chapter of Royal Arch Masons.

Tour nerves direct the work of your -arious organs and the blood feeds them. Unless both nerves and blood are in health, you can't be well. Common sense also demands that the medicine you take serve both the above purposes both tones and strengthens the nerves and nourishes the blood. Such a medicine is Rexall Olive Oil Emulsion, the ideal nerve and blood and body builder. It is a real nerve food tonic not an alcoholic beverage, as many so-called "tonics" are. Rexall Olive Oil Emulsion does not contain a drop of alcohol, nor any dangerous or habit-forming drug.

Unlike alcoholic "medicines," it does not show its ef fects in a renewed liveliness immedi ately after taking a dose. The effects begin to be felt in a few days, how ever, and they last, because the whole system has been strengthened and health is being renewed.
