SAI.K.M. Or., Jan. lb'. The fish
and tfnuie commission s biennial re
port to the governor was filed Mon
day nml n copy was also forwarded
to Representative Holland, chairman
f the house eominittee on fisheries,
to be printed.
The report, which is n voluminous
i affair, included special reports from
J the different heads of the commis-
sion's work and makes its recommcn-
dations for legislative action.
I f The eloso of June 30, lillO, found
: all funds of the fish and name eom
lnission in n solvent condition, the re
port says, in spite of a reduction of
more than $1100 in license revenue
suffered duriiifr the year.
Asks Increased Power.
The commission recommends that
it be jjiven power to assign any or all
of the duties of the master fish war
den, state game warden or their dep
uties to any person ns may be desir
able. Such power, the commission
says, would make it possible for them
to get butttr administrative results of
tin; working force of the commission.
It should also be given the power to
fix the salaries of the deputies as de
sired. The commission also desires that
the legislature give it general power
to do whatever the good of the serv
ice demands, and not to restrict its
powers by definite rule of the law, as
is at present. It also asks that game
animals lie defined by law and that
the commission be given power to de
clare any animal a game . animal
should necessity arise.
"Would ltleiluce. Doer LfniH.
The commission desires the .open
season for deer to be fixed from Au
gust 1") to October 15, and the limit
reduced from three to. two.
It asks that, the open season for
migratory birds be made to conform
with the federal statute and run from
October 1 to January .". and that the
bag limit be unchanged.
The commission desires that the old
restriction against killing Chinese
! pheasant hens be rc-cnaeted. It also
asks that the trout limit be fised at
.50 trout or :t" pounds per day, or
'100 trout of 70 pounds in seven con
: ' secnlive dav.
It also recommends that the sale of
game and game fish be pennitted in
the open market under regulations
prescribed by the commission.
Pimm and automatic guns are
placed under the ban by the connnis
sion, which recommends that their use
be prohibited by law. .
, Tiicreused License.
It asks that a fee of $2 be fixed
for game breeders' permits and 0)1)1'
the hunting and fishing license, be
raised to l.rU. It also recommends
that a law be enneted granting re
ciprocal hunting and fishing rights
' with the citizens of Washington, Calj
1'oniia, Nevada and Idaho, to become
effective whenever those states cu
acted similar laws. "
It reports that $10,000 in fines for
law violations have been collected,
and asks that the law be so changed
that this money shall go into the game
protection fund rather than into the
county treasuries.
The report recommends that laws
governing fishing on the ( olumbia
river be uot changed except that n
statule he passed making it unlawful
for salmon to be caught outside the
three-mile limit off the mouth of the
Columbia during the period from Au
gust 25 to September 10.
Appropriation is Asia's.
The commission asks an appropri
ation of $20,000 for Bonneville, $22,
000 for hatchery Xo. 2.
It also asks that the law be si
changed that conviction of violation
will work an automatic confiscation
of all gear used in connection with
the. violation.. It wants to raise the
salary of the deputy fish wardens to
$1200. and the salary of the book
keeper to $1500. ' ' . ,
II. K. Clanton asks that more ponds,
lie provided at Bonneville, that a new
building be erected containing from
150 to 200 new propagation tanks,
that n barn be constructed and tliut
a sewer system he installed under the
lower ponds. Various recommenda
tions arc made regarding the other
hatcheries.
The report shows that more than
ten million game fish fry were dis
tributed during Kilt! and that more
than seventeen million spring chinook
and nearly three million sockeye fry
were released in (he Columbia during
the year.
EWING APPOINTED LAND
OFFICER AT SAND POINT
WASHINGTON". Jan. II'.. Presi

nomination to the -cnatc: Arthur J.
F.n ing of Sand Point. Idaho, receiver

By STKliUXO. TKACY.
MEMPHIS, Turn., Jan. lb-. With
fifty years of freedom behind them,
uegro funnel's of this part of the
south are buving automobiles by the
thousand, res ultof their reaping part
of the nation's, unprecedented pros
perity. Not only are black men buyingj
pleasure em's, but many motor trucks
for hauling farm products. I
In Clarksville, .Miss., alone, 100
touring ears have been sold to negroes
since the gathering of the cotton crop.
Negroes arc sacrificing the com
fort of their homes for the luxury of
tho automobile. Little improvement
is noticeable, however, in their farm
houses throughout Arkansas, Missis
sippi and Alabama,
I'doiuw Still Exist.
The condition of the negroes on the
farm, while vastly better than it was
ten years ago, is still little better than
slavery.
They nro massed on large planta
tions and practically compelled to
stay on the land.
It is the policy of the plantation
owner to keep the negro tenants hope
lessly .in debt. Then he is sure of
keeping them, especially in Missis
sippi, where there is a law prohibiting
a negro from leaving the land so long
as he is in debt to the owner.
Often in land snles in this territory
the negroes go along with the bar
gain. , '
This somewhat somber picture is
offset to some extent by the condition
of the city negro and those living on
farms near cities. '
In this city tilonc negroes own real
estate valued at least at a million dol
lars. . They have bank accounts ag
gregating a quarter of n million. Hun
dreds owu their owu homes. .
. " Negro Labor Thriving. '
Negro labor is thriving here. In
fact the state factory inspector for
west Tennessee reports the spread of
negro labor has resulted in displacing
white men and is considered a grow
ing menace. ' ' ;
Negro schools arc introducing man
ual and mechanical training and ne-
ro children show a1 marked adapta
bility for these branches.
Schools are overcrowded and chil
Ircn arc e.iger to attend. Illiteracy
is fast being reduced among the ne
groes. A better understanding seems to
obtain in this section now between the
negroes and the whites. The tendency
appears to be toward industrial free
dom and equality, rather than toward
social equality.
The old game of "skinning" the
negroes is passing away, and most of
the white people stand ready to guar
antee to tho negro every dollar he
earns.
City, county and state governments
all over this section arc looking to
ward the welfare of the negro as
never before. It is recognized that
he is a valuable asset if properly de
veloped.

Can Strnsbitrff, a town or 1.000 In

Strasburg can't and doesn't.
To ring up $4 65,000 ou the Clar

In Greece of General Von Fnlken-

and of late in command of part of
the forces engaged in tho campaign
against Humania, is reported In
Freilch official quarters at Salonlki,
according to a Rcuter dispatch from

General Von Falkenhayn Is said
to have embarked on a Gorman sub
marine at the Greek port of Kavala,
now in the hands of the Germans and
to have landed at a point on the
Greek coast whence he made his way
to Larissa. The absence of his name
from the official Uerltn war reports

to Greece In 1913, who made the trip
in the submarine.

time, then accident taught them the
who couldn't sell them in Columbus.
Rudolph set up a circular announcing
certain alluring propositions the firm
had to offer. There was no news
paper in Slrnsburg.
No sooner had the circular been
distributed than the stimulus to busi
ness was felt. The next month a
second was distributed, then a third
and fourth.
In spite of the prediction of tho
boys! father that they would "bust"
because they were spending too much
money for advertising, they showed
a gain the first year, and the busi
ness has shown a gain every year
since, except one.
Advertising thus has become a
regular part of tho Garver Uros. half-nilllion-ilolla'r-a-year
business institu
tion. Of the big annual appropria
tion for advertising, a huge sum goes
to newspapers.
Pago advertisements bring results,
G, Alfred says. And every paper

nwny as 20 and 25 miles nro cm
ployed. Newspaper ads attract to
the store scores of customers even
from Canton, 25 miles away. People
living at a distance, drive to the
store in rigs and autos to take advan
tage of bargains advertised. Ninety
per cent of the volume of trade comes
from, outside of Strasburg.
Garver calls his advertising cam
paigns the process of fertilization.
"I advertise," he says, "for the
same reason tho farmer uses phos
phates and lime, The fertilized sec
tions yield greater returns. What
tho farmer calls the process of culti
vation of his crops, I call the giving

LONDON, Jan. 10 A semi-official
reply has been Issued in liorlin III
regard to the Ilrltlsh authoritative
view, mado public here on Saturday,
regarding the latest German and
Austrian notes. This reply, as quoted
In an Amsterdam dispatch to Keu
ter's says that the chargeu niado In
England regarding German responsi
bility for starting the war are not
new, but are repetitions of state
ments long ago contradicted. The
reply then proceeds to ask a series
of questions in respect to the diplo
matic action of the powers prior to
the outbreak of the war. It calls at-1
tention to the concentration camps of
South Africa, the debates in the Kus- j
slan duma on the subject of the treat- i
ment of foreign nationalities In Itus-
slu and Mohammedans in the Cau-
casus, the entente attitude toward j
Greece and the treatment of German ;
prisoners of war In Russia. I

IlKIil.IN, Jim. 16 Volunteers for
Germany's "home army'' arc many in
number and are volunteering so
steadily and so fast that compulsion
under tho terms of the civil service
law of November will not have to be
resorted to in the near future nml
may never be necessary, according to
Dr. Kurt Surge, civil chief of staff in
the war bureau.
Women, though unnffected by the
civil service law, have volunteered in
droves and the bureau has even had
to exert a check on the youthful pop
ulation, so largo have been the num
ber wanting to leave school in order
to work in some way for the father
land. Only n small percentage of
volunteers has been accepted so far,
but the aggregate is large enough lo
release several . thousand soldiers
weekly who have been engaged in in
terior garrison duty, bridge watching
service and on posts.
According to Dr. Sorge, the opposi
tion which the wnr bureau nnticipated
at the start from various sources,
such as labor unions, has failed to
materialize. On the contrary, ho
