SEATTLE, May 8.—If all the land
crops of the United States should fail
in 1917, one source of food supply
could be counted on with certainty
this year from Puget Sound—the
quadrennial run of sockeye salmon
and the biennial run of humpback sal
mon. Records of a century show that
these enormous runs of fish in late
summer have not failed or even var
ied materially, and the Indians told
the earliest settlers that the tradi
tions of the red men were that the
salmon had always been running so—
big runs of sockeyes each four years
and of humpbacks every second year,
and smaller runs of fish in intervening
years.
There are three other species of sal
mon, but among them there are no
such irregularities. During the big
years the sockeye salmon are taken in
incredible numbers—thousands in one
haul of a net. All are adult fish
weighing three to seven pounds and
bound to the spawning grounds in the
| Fraser river and the rivers that empty
; into Puget Sound. The millions of
| fish that leave the ocean perish, either
■ in the cannery barges or from natural

causes after spawning.
The sockeye salmon pack of 1913 on
Puget Sound was 1,758,000 cases, val
ued at ?10,000,000. The run of that
year was as large as any ever observ
ed, notwithstanding predictions of ex
termination made the preceding big
years. The sockeye salmon is practic
ally as good in flavor and color as the
famous Chinook salmon of the Colum
bia river, and is known in trade as red
salmon.
In the big years of the sockeye the
humpback is neglected, although the
latter fish runs in numbers equal to
those of the sockeye. Thus in 1913
only 105,000 case of humpbacks were
packed. Fishermen refused to catch
them because the canneries were busy
packing the more valuable sockeyes.
The humpback is a smaller fish and the
flesh is paler. Humpbacks are known
in the trade as pink salmon. They
bring a low price, and the pack is sold
principally in the Southern states, to
the negroes.
It is the dream of fish culturists to
build up the salmon runs so that every
year will be a big year.
Two large canneries on Puget
Sound are packing the dogfish, which
is now eaten and relished under its
new name of grayfish. The grayfish
is a shark, but a decidedly clean-look
ing fish. Until last year fishermen
had looked on the grayfish as a nuis
ance.

ill TO TAKE
PEACES OE IN
CAEEED TO ARMS
NEW YORK, N. Y.—Several big
eastern railroads have started mak
ing arrangements to employ women
in place of men called to arms by the
draft. Among the roads taking these
precautions are the New Haven, Le
1 high Valley, Erie, New York Central,
; the Pennsylvania and the Long Island.
All roads made it plain that no men
would be displaced by women unless
actually drafted. The women will be
used in departments not actually en
gaged in physicali operation of trains.
At the offices of the Lehigh Valley
road it was stated that women are
now being given preference in the
hiring of new employees, in depart
ments where they are able to do the
work, as the management expects
many men will be called to the colors
within a few months. The Lehigh is
already employing women as car
cleaners and has made some experi
ments with them as train dispatchers.
The New York Central also is em
ploying women as car cleaners.
The New Haven offices declared
there was no doubt steps would be
taken to have the women replace
drafted men. The Long Island is pre
paring to employ a large number of
women in clerical departments. This
road has already given work to
scores of women.
Between 300 and 400 men employees
of the Grand Central Terminal are
members of the National Guard and
are momentarily expecting a summons
to duty. All arrangements are being
rushed to put women in their places.
Some have already left, and women
are doing their work. The Erie of
fices stated that a shortage in male
clerical labor was already being faced.
Women ticket sellers, ticket collectors
and telegraphers will be seen in the
men’s places.
Street railways in New York, Chi
cago, Boston, Philadelphia and other
cities are considering the necessity of
putting on women conductors. Motor
men will be replaced by conductors
ineligible for war service, and the
places of the latter be filled by wo
men.
