of game fish. Of this number SS.000
are of tho steel-head variety, and tha
remaining- (000 are a new cross, noted
for Its palatable qualities as well as Ita
gsmeness.
The fish were furnished by tho NIs
qually hstchery. situated 10 miles
above Sherlock, at tho mouth of Muck
Creek, and were planted by Father
Mally and his associates In various
streams In the county. Tho little fish
were transported In six lsrgo cans, and
their healthy and sturdy qualities are
shown from the fact thst not more than
IS of them died in transit. In conse
quence, the assoelstlon wlM pass a reso
lution congratulating Superintendent
Emll Glass, of tho hatchery. Automo
biles for tho use of the officers of tho
association In planttng tho young gteel
hesds were furnished by Mitchell Har
ris and J. J. Brenner.
Every year the planting of young fish
will be repeated by tho association.

Tho 113 Legislature will bo asked to
Install a fish ladder at Tumwater falls.
In tho Deschutes r.lver. by the Legis

Tires That Pay Us
Only 8h Profit
Goodyear ' No-Rim-Cut tires are made 10 per(
cent over the rated size, to save the blow-outs due
to ovexloading:.,,
They sure made so they can't rim-cut made so
they stay on without hooking into the rim flange.
They are made of costly materials, by the costli
est process, to give you the utmost mileage.
As a result, our profit last year. on this patent
tire was only 8& per cent.
Your Saving, .48 Per Cent
The 10 per cent oversize meant
10 per cent mora air 10 per cent
atfded carrying: capacity. And
that, with the average car, adds
25 per cent to tbe tire mileage,
v Tires that can't rim-cut mean
an average saving: of 23 per cent.
For statistics show that 23 per cent
of all ruined clincher tires the
old-type tires are rim-cut.
So these two features together,
under average conditions, cut tire
bills right in two.;
200.000 Users
Over one million Goodyear tires
have been tested oat on some
200,000 cars. These 200,000 sepa
rate users have proved . that our
claims are true.
As a result, these tires outsell
any other tire In existence. In two
years the demand ' has increased
500 per cent. It has trebled in tha
past twelve months. '
Our factories are running night
and day, with three shifts of men,
to meet the call for these patent
tires.
Why Not You?
Don't tires that can't rim-cut
oversise tires seem better than,
others to you?
If so, insist on Goodyear No-Rim-Cnt
tires. Make your com
parisons. After a test yon. will
never again go back to the old-,
type tires.
Our 1912 Tire Book based on
13 years of tire making is filled
with facts yon should know. Ask
na to mail it to yea. -
