Roach seas have kept th trollan from operating- on tho bar. and It has been but recently that these men have began to compensate tberaselTea for their efforts. To date casualties have keen few. and although deaths by drowninr have been rumored they have orored aroundlesa. The Point Adama and North Head life-saving crews have been exceptionally watchful, and It has In lara-e meaaure been due to tne serv ires of Captain TVIcklund and his men that mora than on swamped boat has been towed to safety. According to old-timers In th sjlll r rame. tha hauls for this year will not ba rated above average. A clear water, they say. haa kept th salmon leading around thetr neta Instead of attempting- to break through. The lat ter process Is fatal. On th other band, a seiner and bis styl of angling demands clear water, for a leading salmon soon Is trapped and flopping on th beach. A new activity, th purs seine, has been enjoying a successful season. This morning three boata drifting up and down In front of th Island landed fair hauls, and It haa been eatlmatad that one of them stored away three tone In one drive.

IS. died at his borne at Mayvllle. Gilliam County. August . He was born In County Tyrone. Ireland, where be married Miss Jane McCu Hough In Hi. 4 In lt ne ana nis ismiiy rsme to tbe United States. Something went wrong with the ship and the Immigrants were six months I making the voyage to New Tork. I They went to San Francisco and I thence to Portland, where Mr. Keys worked as a stonemason, f He moved from there to Roa I burg, and finally cam to Gilliam ! County. In 1111. He went Into I th cattle business and later, with hie son. went Into the mer t cantlle business at Mayvllle. He Is survived by on son. I William O. Keys, and two daugh I tars. AHsa A. and Mary O. Keys. according to the degree to which they have developed measures to cut down sccldent hazard, is proposed to tbe Washington Industrial Insurance Com mission, with the backing of the state labor department. The commission has gone so far In the matter as to take up the question with lumbermen, with the view o navlng them co-operate In Initiating the plan. Commissioner A. B. Ernst has a plan under which the lumber association It self would classify its own mills and plants and adopt merit ratings. Private casualty Insurance companies have taken up the system in various parts ot tne united states: Accident Haaard Rated as Baala. "The new merit rating system is based entirely on the accident hazard In the plants Insured, ss fire Insurance rates are based on the fire hazard, says a statement issued by the office o State Labor Commissioner Edward W, Olson. "The plants In a given industry are divided into four classes, the first in eluding those In which every effort is exerted to prevent accidents and which, therefore, pay ' the lowest rates; the second class pays a little higher rate. and so on to the fourth class, which pays the highest rate of all. A plant may be advanced from one claaa to another, according to the Improvements It-makes towards reducing its accident hazard. "The adoption of the merit rating system would give a wonderful impetus to the safety movement In this state. an impetus that would be rewarded, not merely In a financial way in the re' duction of Insurance premiums, but chiefly and certainly far more im portant to workmen and society in a wonderful reduction In the number of accidents." Need ef Kagloeer Foreseen. Industrial Commissioner Ernst says: "Tbe merit plsn of course would necessitate the employment by the com mission of an efficiency engineer, who would' Investigate the Industries of the state and collect data for hearings with the employers. After these hear Incs the merit classifications could be made. This would be an expensive procedure. "The plan has been discussed with employers under which their aseocla tlons. say In the lumbering industry, for example, would employ an efficiency expert, and with the agreement of the members of the association would clas sify the plants and mills, the state tatting no part. 'When the state levies on the lumber industry under the plan It tells the as soclatlon how much It wants to support the insurance fund for a given period. and tne association and Its expert de- ctdee the rste each class must pay to raise tne amount desired In premiums. I am inclined to think this would establish a workable merit rating plan, perhaps as good as any the state Itself could establish."
