FBIDAY HARBOB, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY JANUARY 23, 1914 Skaget County To Import Game Birds Skagit County Gonunissioners Will Spend $0,000 in Stocking Game Regions With Hungarian Patridges and Others Approximately $6,000 will be spent by the Skagit county game commis sion this year in the importation of new game birds. Such was the an- nouncement made this week by W. L. Brickey, chairman of the game com mission. One of the interesting feat ures of the commission's plan for the new year is its decision to buy no more Chinese pheasants. Instead of obtaining more "Chinks" the com mission will bring in large numbers of Hungarian pheasants, Mr. Brickey stated. The reason for this is two-fold. The Chinese pheasant in the first place is a fighter and a destroyer of other game birds, such as the quail. Mr. Brickey expressed the opinion that the quail in Skgait valley had been killed off in large numbers by their worst enemy, the Chink. The Hungarian patridge, besides being a bird of rare beauty and ex tremely hard to exterminate because of its swift flight and its hardiness, also a prolific breeder and said to be especially adapted to this country climate. The game commission expects to obtain birds enough to stock at least one preserve well. Members of the commission go on the theory that the $6,000 now in the game fund should be spent in the in ] terests of the sportsmen who by mak ! ing up this fund in the shape of lic i nese fees, are entitled to any benefits that might accrue therefrom. ! The commission also this year ex pected to obtain another herd of elk for Cypress island but its members have been advised by County Auditor Alexander that the chances of getting more elk from Yellowstone park are not favorable this year. Mr. Alexander has received letters from Senator Jones and Congressman Humphrey relative to the county's request for an additional supply. Both say the department of the interior has made a rule against mixing the Rocky mountain breed with the breed found west of the Cascade mountains and the Sierra Nevada range and this rule will apply in this case. The depart ment also points out the fact that Skagit recently received a car of elk and makes known its plan to supply other localities that have not been taken care of before sending any more here. CANS OF CLAMS MUST CONTAIN PLENTY OF MEAT Food and Drugs Board Makes a Rul ing Prohibiting Excess of Liquor In Canned Sea Food Washington, D. C, Jan. —The food and drugs board in Food In spection Decision No. 144 rules that in (Janned food products the can serv es not only as a container but \ also as an index of the quantity jof .< food therein, and should be as full of food "as practicableiffor packing - and proc essing. Where.; the ; addition of brine or water is "■■ necessary for proper preparation, the can .should : contain only sufficient liquid to fill the space between the meat and cover product. Many cann'ers of clams have asked the board to rule regarding the weight of clams necessary to . comply with rule 144. As a result of in- gations the board - states as its opinion that cans which contain the weights of drained clam meat shown below will fill the requirements, weights are "cut out" weights, i. c., the weight of meat left in the cans alter all free liquor has been drain ed off. .

FLINT • | FINANCING THE NEEDY In several of the larger cities of the country philanthropic wealthy men have undertaken the practical relief of worthy poor who are in need of finan cial aid and whose credit is not of v kind that will secure for them assistance in the regular way. This work is proving so great a success that it is ex pected that it will be extended to every part of the United I States. On this interesting subject the Oregon Journal has this to say: "Julius Rosenwald, of Chi cago, has announced plans for the establishment of a chain of banks to make small industrial loans. The first bank will be established in Chicago, and the purpose is to build up a system which will include the princip al cities of the United States. This chain of banks will come to the aid of small borrowers who are unable to. obtain loans from ordinary financial instit utions. It will supplement the work of remedial loan associa tions wherever established and perform the functions of such associations where they do not exist. The banks are to be con ducted as a business proposit ion for the benfiit of both own er and borrower. Mr. Rosenwald is in Europe investigating similar banks there. In Germany there are 15,700 institutions of this kind It should be remembered the board states, that a loss of weight almost invariably occurs when dams are processed, and due allowance should be made for this loss in weighing the clams into the 'can. It may be said that the investigations made in the bureau indicates that the loss in weight in processing varies from a~ bout 5 to 15 per cent, the average loss being about' ten per cent of the weight of dams placed in th« cans. The weight of drained clam meat should not fall below those givea a above, or, if a variation occurs, It should be as often above m below the weights specifies. SURPRISE PARTY GIVEN IN U/^j U • _i HONOR OF MRS BEIOIN WOIK ll(lfTI€d A quilt block party was given in honor of Mrs. P. Beigin at her beautiful home in the Valley and was a complete surprise to her when her many friends ar rived on "Tuesday about 11 a.m. They had a good time visiting together until about 2 o'clock when all partook of a delicious lunch. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. J. Sandwith, Mr. and Mrs. John Dougherty jr., Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Hiedenrich, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Wood, Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Turner, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. H. Bailes, Mr. and Mrs. C. Coghlan, Mr. and Mrs. Steve Boyee, jr., Mr. and Mrs. D. Fountain, Mr. and Mrs. V. C. Doyle, Mr. and Mrs. P. Madden, Mr. and Mrs. F. D. Sexton, Mr. and Mrs. G. A.

Those present left about four o'clock after spending a most enjoyable time. and they are controlled by a central bank. In reality it is t not a banking system, but a sys-j tern of credit and loan. The! whole idea is to establish credit for the small man on the basis of character, just as is done in Italy, Austria, Germany and Ireland. The announced purpose to establish such a chain of banks as a purely business proposit ion is evidence that the loan shark is a public danger. Ra pacious money lenders have in jured business but their power has been lessened by the new currency law. A system of farm credits will soon come to the assistance of the farmers. The Rosenwald bank and the rem edial loan associations will per form the same 1 unctions for the working men and women in the cities. Mr. Rosenwald's scheme is founded on the system originat ed by the present minister of Finance of Italy. The signifi cance of the announcement concerning a chain of banks in the United States is two-fold. It is possible to finance the av erage wage earner as a purely business proposition. If our de velopment of remedial loaning is to continue along lines of pri ate enterprise, it is essential that there be adequate capital and energy enlisted. in the movement.

NO 1 i By IW. Olsen After adopting rules to govern the conference of the minimum wage commission with employers and em ployes, contracting with Miss Caro line Gleason, of Portland, to act as temporary secretary for two months, and deciding to hold the conferences in the senate chamber at Olympia, the minimum wage commission ad journed yesterday afternoon follow ing a two days' session that left all members present in a mood of opti i mism. The meeting was held in the office of E. W. Olson, state labor com missioner. Miss Gleason, who will take up the 'duties dropped by Secretary Stuart A. Rice when the latter resigned, and prepare the commission's report to the conferences, is now secretary to the Oregon minimum wage confmis sion. She was sent west by the soc ial survey committee of the Consum er's league of New York city to hand le the work in Oregon prior to the adoption of the minimum wage law by that state. It was upon her report that the law was passed. She is rec ognized as one of the national char acters in work of this kind and the commission feels highly gratified ov er securing her services. The rules adopted by the commis sion for the conferences provide that the conferences shall be made up of nine members and a member of the commission, making ten in the con ference. The membership shall con sist of three employers of occupations employing women, three women em ployes, three disinterested members and the representative of the com mission. They shall be chosen by the com mission by a process of elimination, each commissioner selecting nine names, making a total of forty-five in all, the nine members being sel ected by the commission as a whole from this number later. A vital feature of the rules adopt ed lies in the determination that any minimum wage adopted by the com mission after receiving the recom mendation of the conference on any given industry, shall be uniform throughout the state for all estab lishments of that industry. The preparation of the report, to gether with its printing and and the time provisions of the rules, make it appear that no conference will be held in less than a month, and prob ably longer. In prefacing the rules, the com mission declared in the form adopted that they have concluded that the wages paid to women workers in the mercantile industry of the state is in sufficient for the employes to live comfortably and respectably, and that therefore they feel it incumbent to call the conference on this industry as soon as preparations can be made. Preparations for the other confer neces will be made as rapidly as pos sible, though the commission has not yet expressed itself on the reason ableness of wages in other industries in which women work. According to an exchange the Pennsylvania railroad keeps up its wonderful record. It carried 111,000,000 passengers in 1913 and not one was killed. In six years the road has operated 5, --000,000 trains with only five wrecks and has transported 592,298,337 persons with a mor tality of only 16. Three of the years passed with no fatalities surely a praiseworthy record of care. This extraordinary record of safety in travel is almost equal ed by the report of steamship passenger transportation. The latter is given to the public by the Pittsburg Dispatch, which says: "With 300,000,000 people car ried by steam vessels required to report to the federal steam boat inspection bureau, 436 lost their lives, but only 210 were due to accidents, collisions, ex plosions or foundering. The loss of one person in a year out 0F1.500,000 indicates a fairly safe system of transportation by water."-American Reveillie
