"8AWDU8TITI8” TAKES FISH ' ‘ |
OF GRAYS HARBOR WATERS
MONTESANO, Aug. 22.—"8aw
iustislt” is the name that Game War
ten Winslow gives to a disease that
has killed many fish in Grays Har
bor. It is caused from sawdust in the
water, which the fish draw Into their
gills where it sticks and qauses sores.
As a result of the trouble State
Commissioner Darwin has ordered
Winslow to notify all mill men that
carelessness in allowing sawdust to
get into the waters of Grays Harbor
will he punished severely. Several
mills are providing apparatus to stop
the blowing about of the dust from
their mills.
