' Much Prominence,
(Special.) — Continuing his policy,
which he has adhered to at all
times, of vigorously supporting the I
WPA program, Congressman Mar- .
tin F. Smith voted for the $375,-
000,000 appropriation to carry for-
ward the Work Projects Admin—

Congressman Smith and other col-
leagues succeeded in defeating all
the crippling amendments which
were proposed.
Realizing the work that is be-
ing done to the plywood, lumber
and forest products industries,
Congressman Smith has appeared
again this session of Congress be—
fore the House Committee on Ap-'

Recognition of Washington as
one of the potentially great wine
producing states of the nation was
accorded recently in the na-
tional capitol by members of the
Washington State and Alaska So-
ciety of the District of Columbia.
According to word received from
J. J. Underwood, president of the
society and Washington repre-
sentative of the Seattle Chamber
of Commerce. the wines of VVash-
ington for the first time played
a conspicuous part on the menu
at the society‘s annual dinner, at
;which more than 350 persons used
it to toast the “Territory of Alas—
ka. the great and soverign state
of Washington and the Republic
‘of the United States."

URGl’EAN WAR
. REVIVES OLDEN
r SOUND INDUSTRY
Dog Fish Livers Used To Replace
The Coil Liver Oil
Supplies
l The F} ropean war has an un-
lcxpected reaction on Puget Sound
.in the revival of an old industry,
although on new lines, and from
an entirely new slant, creating a3
demand for the livers of the dog:
lfish, a pariah of the [salt waters?
:and the bane of the sport fish-f
erman. Because of the war which i
has stopped all trade between this.
,Counti‘y and the Scandinavian wa— ;
,tch the supply of cod liver oil.‘
from Norway has, been cut offfl
land drug houses have turned tell
the lowly dogfish to meet the de-l
mand for supplies of the vitamin?
containing oil.
I Fishermen are reaping a liar-l.
‘vest now with the season near at
lhand and are reported as making
as high as $150 a. week, working]
.the waters between Shelton andl
the lower Sound, with headquar—l
ters at Steilacooni. So far only}
one family is at work, setting!
their lines at night and following
the herring runs which mean that;
dogfisl'i are near. Using Set lines;
Imorc than 1800 feet long with al
nook attached every six feet, bait—
.ing with herring, the fishermen!
expect a fifty per cent. catch, oil
50 to 75 pounds of livers, taking
about three hours to set each
(line. I
i The current market price forl
dogfish livers is cents, but tenl
cents a pound is expected later
on, as the fish get scarce. Rat-
fish, resembling the dog, are,
onrthless as are mudsharks which {
frequently take the bait, but when
a bed of lingcod is found their liv- i
ers bring 40 cents a pound. Thel
fish carcases can be sold at $2'
a ton at the Tacoma fish meal
plant, but when livers bring real;
.money the rest of the fish goes:
overboard, which is against the?
law in California and Oregon, and
soon will be in this state.
Recalls Old Industry
Back in the days of ox-team
logging the dogfish were caught;
by fishermen, using seines, now
outlawed, and the livers were tried
out in camps near the fishing
grounds in coal oil cans, and
sold to the small loggers of the
eighties and early nineties forz
greasing skids over which the
logs were hauled. The fish then
making most of the catch was:
perch, with some salmon, which
were sold in the Portland mar-
kets, but perch and poggies have}
llong since gone out of demand for}
food fish, except for the occas-l
ional plunker with line and sink-.
{er; and seining for salmon is also‘
Iout, the main supply in market.l
coming from the lower Sound or
the ocean; the upper Sound pre-

In 1880 one national bank and
.six private banks were in exis-
ltence in the State of Washington.
.The first national charter had
been granted to the First Nation—i
al Bank of Walla Walla in 1878.]
lBanking was beginning to be
lrecog‘nized as part of the business}
of life of the growing Territory!
lDuring the decade of the eighteen—
Seighties and early nineties, the
Inumber of banks grew rapidly.
Transcontinental railroads open—
ed the new Territory to settlers.
In 1886 the prohibition against
territorial restrictions, including
Dexter Horton and Company, se-
cured terri orial charters. In
£1889 statehood was granted to
the Territory. In the same year
the clearing houses of Tacoma and
Seattle were founded. In June,
1889, the Washington Bankers
Association held its first conven-
tion in Tacoma, more than fiftyl
banks having signed the call. |
