Tho salmon fishing season Just clos ed was ono of tho most successful in many years past and tho pnclc from Itoguo river tho largest on record slnco the Wcddorburn Trading Com pany has been operating and for some years nt least boforo that tlmo. Tho total salmon packed of this company so far amounts to 12,000 csbcs. Each case contains 48 cans of salmon bo this makes a total of 570,000 cans, enough to feed a Eu ropean army of one million n Bquaro mcnl on which they could fight at Icnst six hours. Would Feed Army It Is claimed that canned salmon Is one of tho most nutritious foods that can be carried in tho bulk. Ono of tho reasons that it is not usod extensively In tho present war Is that an opener is necessary to order to get nt tho contents of the can nnd tho supplying of n can opener would bo nn extra burden to tho equipment of the soldier. For this reason canned salmon Is ono of tho food products of this country which lias been sold ex tensively to tho warring nations. Tho salmon mnrkct right now Is not en tirely satisfactory but tho product Is being canned Just tho same oven though it may bo kept in storage awaiting n snlo. Klilp to Astoria Tho Wcddorburn Trading Com many is shipping eomo of tho cans without labels. They will bo hold in storago at Astoria or Fortland nnd when sold' may be disposed of to gome firm which desires to uso Its own labolo. Tho salmon Is ship ped out from Wcddorburn as fast as posBlblo so that it will bo at n con venient shipping point at any tlmo that It may bo sold. The fishing season opens again Soptombcr 10. At that tlmo Chl nookB and sllvcrsldcs will bo caught. Sllvorsldcs do not command tho samo prlco as Chlnooks and tho fall fish aro not ns desirable ns thoso caught during the opon period Just closed nnd aro sold nt a smaller price. Tho fishing on Itogup will stop sometime In tho month of Octobor. All Mndo Money Tho fishermen havo had a flno year nnd thoy all havo monoy. Thoro Is not a place In Oregon whoro tho working man is any better shapo than right hero. During the month of August tho twonty-flvo men who worked on tho solno received an nv orngo wage of $11 a day. Next to tho last day of fishing thoy mado each $30 for their day's work. Shortage of Cuiih An oven larger pnclc could havo been put up had It not beou for tho shortago of cans. Tho factory mak ing cans produces only undor orders and as all of tho salmon fishing plac es have had good runs there has been a great demand for cans so that tho factories havo worked night nnd day. The last consignment of enns for tho Wcddorburn Compnny camo on tho Hustler. At that timo thoro wore 1,700 fish on tho floor of tho dannory. Thoro was n heavy !fog and tho Itustlcr was Just outside with u cargo of needed cans. Tho fog lifted about fifteen minutes, en ough for Captain 1'ctor Olson to got soiiio idea of where tho bar was lo cated and ho put tho Kustlor through and then tho factory worked until every thing was put up. On tho last day thoro was nn ex cess of fish nnd these wero handled by Baiting and will be sold ns salt flalmon. Tho fishermen mado an ex tra haul for themselves nnd thoso who live horo put down a supply of salmon for their own uso. Profitable Work Tho men on the big solno nil work together. Tho company payB CO cents for each fish caught and fur nishes tho seluu which Is operated under tho direction of n forcmnn. Tho money Is then dlvldod between tho men and ns already stated tho average wago in August per day for each ninn was $n. This gives many of tho men sufficient funds to car ry thorn through tho winter Benson If thoy choose to remain thoro whilo oil. .i.. .. ..!.... ...I...- . . . .1. iwwu-ta u uiDun jiL'iu mil!

Three Cigarette Faults to Avoid First, avoid cigarettes that don't just suit your own taste. Second, avoid thoso that bother your throat or tongue. Third, avoid those that make you "feel mean" after smoking all you want. If Fatimas, .'or instance, seem to you to be guilty on anyone of those three counts, we say, avoid Fatimas. JhnPc ISTT v xwo 1?ky I S3irS -rrrSlSa ffi.r.i!!!?eioyou- " Wo mean what wo say ' for, when it comes to the taste, Fatimas can't possibly plenso every body no cigarette can do that. But Fatimas do plcaso moro men than any other ciga. rctte costing over 5c That's one reason why you should try them. Another reason is because they ore so SENSIBLE so free from any "after-feeling." If you want to know exactly what a "sensible" cigarette is, jusi iry jt-uiuiiua uy incsc IWO tests.
