ANGLING FOR SALMON

"But the king of them all was Bill

It takes the rest of my life,' savs he.
That was bis spirit. Then he ciughl
two little ones. And he came in
beaming like a sunrise. They ain't
o big,' says he, 'but, gee, ain't they
dandles!' "
All day Thursday, you remember,
the tendency had been to showers,
each lapping tn the other. When we
rode out of town on the Oregon City
car the world was aj tearful as a fun
eral. But at the boathouse Walter
Backus found for me huge coverall
rubber shirt and a rubber hat and Fria
ble produced a pair of rubber boots.
I looked like a sooty night rider but
I sure was insulated from the
weather.
We pulled up stream, double oared.
against the grasping, fretted current.
With the toar of falling waters In
our ears we careened over rapid and
precariously circled anchored boats. In
what seemed the swiftest water we
dropped overboard the anchor a clog
of heavy, black stone. Instead of hold
ing tight bow up against theeurrent
the boat promptly drifted toward the
anchorage we had Just atratnedly
passed.
Ziines Thrown Out.
"Not enough back water, too much
current, we'll have to get in the eddy,"
remarked Backus.
So by the aide of the others we
fastened the boat, and with the spray
ceaselessly drifting about us and an
ugly, uncovered spur of rock at our
backs, we threw out lines.
-The tackle consisted of $M ounce
rods, small nine-thread lines, piano
wire leaders and brass spinner spoons
guided bottomward by alugs of load.
"It's necessary to be a little careful
about letting out your line, remarked
my friend, "It Isn't very deep here,
only about twelve feet, and the bottom
la already lined with hooks, spners
and! leads that got caught in the
rock"
After X bad lost com three er four
of the Backus shiny brass spools, the
sharp triple hooks and accurately
weighed leads, I began to realize there
was. Indeed, some science to letting
out the line.
I sat on a stern sea', comforted by
rubber cushion and backed by a laiy
board, the current catching the epoon
and making it spin so that its df-Iicate
thrill deliciously could be felt through
the slightly straining rod. Walu-r be
gan casting far down the current.
Water Does Talking.
Among the boats conversation was
noticeable for the lank of It. The
waterfall did all the talking. There
was ceaselessly Intent attention to out
flung lines.
"Fish on," come one called out pres
ently. A red faced fisherman with
nervous hands clutching a rod about
a yard long was trying to control its
Jumping. He would reel in a few
lengths of line, then back it would go
singing streamward again.
"He's nervouB because it's the first
strike I ever knew him to ger," ex
plained the ruminating veteran- in the
boat next ours.
Finally the fish came In, a beauty,
his last struggles threshing the water
Into foam. (
"I got an awful strike the other
day," remembered the man next boat.
"My rod busted right in two. The
salmon he took out two hundred feet
of my line. But I kept hold of him
and I played him and after a long
while I "
omatMjvg Waa Solas;
Whether he got the fish or the fish
got his tackle, I don't know. From
down in the swirling depths came a
hurry-up call to me. I Jerked back
instinctively in response to the wnock.
-That's striking him." commented
Backus coolly when all the world, it
seemed, ahould be excited. I Uarned
speedily what the cpaamodlo Jurr. pings
of the rod meant, in weight, . wat the
outslnglng line meant in - determined
resistance and what a fatigue can come
in the shprtesjs time to tensed and un
accustomed bands and wrists. Some
thing more than a year passed by slow
ly. Had I time to notice, my.ralmon
was taking less line with his rushes.
After a while he could Tie seen, still
defiant, but a little more tired than
his fisherman. Then be came to gaff.
He was in the boat.
"It's a beautiful day," observed I,
with sudden appreciation of the ro
mantic setting in the horseshoe curve
of tailing waters and with entire fbr-
getfulness of the low hanging rlouds
and persistent drllxle. There was sun
shine in the silvery Iridescence and
triumph In the yard-long length of this
royal but vanquished visitor from the
seas.
Womaa . Saows Vlttck.
Two boats over, an enderlv woman
began to reel in madly, her firm lips
narrowed to a line. Hera was s heavy
rod, as befits a lady. When the sal
mon strove for freedom she put her
weight against his on a dead-locked
line at the peril of the pole. She
stayed by the fight pluckily. The rod
bent but did not break. Her husband
gaffed at the right moment. Sho need
ed only dance music to add rhythm to
the action of her feet as she strove to
hold in the boat the still struggling
salmon.
"Her husband caught the limit, then
went and got his wife so they could
catch some more," gossiped my garru
lous next boat neighbor, bending to
ward me with a prodigious wink.
The red faced fisherman went
through another fight and landed his
game. One or two other boats pulled
in salmon. My companion brought in
one the size of a big trout and re
leased it, for he fishes for sport and
want the little ohes to grow big. My
line felt a couple of strikes, and after
awhile there came another balt-'s, not
so strenuous for the salmon was small
er. Salmon Jump Playfully.
This was Just last Thursday eve
ning. It was the eighteenth Uiy of
May. The salmon in the whirling
pool were Jumping playfully out of the
water all around us. There were many
of them. Laet year at this time no
such sight would have been possible:
no such kingly sport within 15 miles-of
Portland would have been dreamed of.
The net fishermen would have cleaned
out the pool in a few nights after
May first. The law of the last legis
lature restraining the net men from
fishing the waters between falls and
Oregon City bridge made the differ
ence. It la being rigorously enforced.
The season for that great company
who fish for the love of fishing and
for the smaller number willing to make
a modest living with their three a day
caught wlh hook and line ha been
lengthened in this short stretch. All
over the country the fame Of the won
derful Willamette river salmon fish
ing i gaining luster.
We went backto the boathouse in
the shade of evening thinking of what
glad tidings in the ears of the anglers
it would be if, after the next legis
lature, the announcement might be
made that the Willamette river had
been closed to net fishermen.
Benefits Are Been.
What Increased numbers of salmon
could bravely climb over the foaming
fish ladder and go. above to spawning
riffles! How many more hoolc and
line fishermen could make their daily
catches for the Portland market! What
enhanced repute there would be every
where for Oregon as the paradise, of
anglers.
I am told the net men who come
largely 'up from the Columbia river
do not get what they consider large
catches, but they ret lj the salmon
there are. and the lessened number
slowed to spawn is yearly evidenced
in the smaller runs. 'When the bill to
close the Willamette entirely to net
fishermen is introduced at the next
session of the legislature It ought
to be supported by all, fishermen or
not, who would preserve a waning, but
royal asset for the larger number who
fish not for the fish but for the love
of fishing.

Georgia Feldspar
To Replace Potash
Atlanta, Ga!, May 20. (I. N. 8.)
With potash commanding from $500 to
1600 a ton and hard to get at any
price, a search for the precious sub-
Stance has been started irrthe hills of
North Georgia. So far potash has not
been discovered, but great quantities
of feldspar are being taken out and
crushed to be used for fertiliser. Feld
spar contains from 6 to 16 per cent
of potash and when exposed for a year
or two in the fields makes an excellent
substitute for the commercial ferti
lizer

Mother Dies From Fall Out of Building
But Life of ler Unborn Baby Is Saved
Surgeon Makes Vigorous Fight
Began to Breathe Unaided
of Hour and Half Before Infant
; Neighbors Cheer Doctor.
New Tork, May 20. Mrs. Maria
Bucchera, the pretty young wife of an
Italian longshoreman, fell from a win
dow and was killed. Their room were
on the third floor and Mrs. Bucchera
sat on the sill leading to the air shaft
with IheT baby girl, Maria, aged 1 year,
in her lap. The mother was accident
ally overbalanced and she and the child
pitched headlong to the cellar. The
woman's death was instantaneous. Be
yond a few bruises, the little girl was
uninjured.
The accident caused much excite
ment among the other women in the
house, because Mrs. Bucchera had ex
pected to beoome a mother in a few
days. A call was sent to the Long
Island College hospital for a doctor,
and Surgeon Francis Ring came In a
hurry with the ambulance.
There was so much commotion that
the young physician did not for a time
realise that prompt action on his part
might save another life. He saw that
the woman was dead, and he imagined
that the excitement was due to the
concern over the condition of little
Maria, who was crying in one of the
neighbor's arms.
The doctor was about to leave when
he. 'was made to understand the real
situation. A quick consultation over
the telephone with Coroner Senior fol
lowed, and the doctor got the permis
sion he sought. In a few minutes
there was another baby, a little girt. In
the dusky cellar,, but it was apparently
lifeless. Its birth had been delayed
too Ions-, the doctor thought, but he
discovered" flutter of life and made
a herolo endeavor to revive the dying
spark.
For an hour and a half the physician
sought to establish respiration by Up
to lip inspiration. It waa a task that
taxed his strength. His struggle in
the Interest of humanity was watched
with silent admiration by half u dozen
of the women neighbors. Slowly hit
reward came. There was a gentle sigh
from the newborn babe, and soon it
was breathing unaided.
Somebody suggested baptism, and a
formal christening ceremony followed.
The baby wa called Frances out of
compliment to the doctor. Then he
bundled it up in a shawl and ran with
it to the hospital. And as he went he
waf cheered to the echo, by the neigh
