The association's pack of salmon
for th© season of 1914 was as fol
lows: 1,241,980 cases canned; 3.
60S barrels salted.
During the first Dart of 1914, tin*
salmon markets wtre satisfactory
and promising. Tae outbreak of the
European war caused serious uni
versal economic disturbances. Our
company has not sold any of its !
1914 pack for its usual outlets In
Asia, Africa or South America. T!ie
salmon shipments to Europe and to
our southern states were greatly
curtailed. Some of our northern
states, and Australasia, took rather
a full proportion. In consequence
of these conditions the carry ovei
of the 1914 salmon pack on the
Pacific coast is the largest in tTie
history of the business. The canned
salmon stocks in hands of the trade
are light, and with reasonable dis
tribution the carry-oyer should be
come greatly reduced before the
1915 pack is ready for marketing.

VETOES IHIfi« MEASURE
ACCOUNT LITERACY PROVISION
Washington, D. C., Jan. 28—
President Wood row Wilson today at
noon presented a special message to
the huose and also returned the im
migration bill, which he had vetoed
on account of its provisions in re
lation to the literacy test. He ex
plained that the measure, if adopt
ed in its present shape, would close
the open door which the United
States lias always maintained to
ward foreign Immigrants.
There is a good deal of discus
sion iu congressional circles over
the possibility of repassing the
bill over the president's veto.
When President Taft vetoed an
immigration bill because of the lit
eracy te.;t the senate promptly re
passed it over his veto, but a few
votes of the necessary two-thirds
were lacking In the house. Some
! of the champions of the bill think
both houses could now repass it.
Its opponents are sure it is Impos
sible.

VOCATIONAL TRAINING IS
OUTGROWING NARROWNESS
Seattle, Jan. 2S—Manual and vo
cational training bid fair to merge
one Into the other in the high
schools of this country, believes
Prof Herbert G. Lull, of the Uni
versity of Washington college of
education. The prediction is ven
tured In the latest issue of "Manual
Training and Vocational Education,"
a magazine published in the east.
Dr Lull expresses the belief, bas
°d upon a study of the history of
the two branches of training, that
the educational value of manual
training lies in its vocational signi
ficance and that "vocational training
is outgrowing Its narrow trade char
acter." j
The Jiret real paystreak has beon
found in the Ruby district by the
Aikln & McKlnnln drill, on Candle
creek, which has been working
down stream from where the opeu
cut was made last summer. This
information comes In extracts
from a private letter printed in the
Ruby Citizen. The open cut work
is at timber line, near the head
of the creek. There the paystreak
is 150 feet wide and only eight feet
deep. The drill has followed Uie
pay down stream for a mile and a
half to where it is from 25 to 54
feet deep and 480 feet wide ami
runs iuto the left limit benches. Tiie
drill shows $7 to the square foot all
along the left limit rim, tapering ta
50 cents to the square foot on ihe
extreme right limit of tt^e paystreak
The creek increases in depth in
proceeding down stream until u
depth of 80 feet has been demon
strated.
Thawed ground in places consti
tute an obstacle in the deeper por
tion; neverthless several lays liava
been let on the lower part of the
creek and the laymen are now busv
cinklng. This winter's work will
give a line on the lower portion of
the creek.
Candle is a tributary of the Tata
lena, which in turn is a tributary ot
the Takotna. This is the first bona
fide paystreak found and demon
strated on the Kuskokwim river.
Aiken & McKinnon worked a crow
of 22 men all last season and wiil
work more the next providing sup
ples can be obtained at a reason
able price.
