The six-year period expired the fifth of this month. Now the law presumes Mr. and Mrs. Thompson are dead Another presumption of the law is that the husband, supposed to be the stronger physically, survives the wife when their deaths occur in time so closely together that the time of the death of one cannot be distin- guished from the time cf the death of the other. Husband Heir of Wife This presumption makes the hus- heir to the wfie, and con- sequently the heirs of the husband succeed to the husband’s estate, and the heirs of the wife are excluded, in the event of no last wills or testa- ments. There are no wills in the Thempson case. With the Thompsons declared dead, Mr. Conrdt, by appointment of owden, changes from guardian to administrator, and will administer the estate until in course of probate procedure it is distrib- uted among the heirs of Mr. Thomp- son.

PROTECTION FOR ALASKA SALMON RUNS OLD ISSUE Re(ognifioh of Value fo Alaska Indusry Dates | Many Years Back SEATTLE, Dec Recognition | of the value of the Alaska Salmon runs and the necessity for adequate protection of this purce is as old as the Salmon Industry itself, Peter Dybwad, of the Uganik Fisheries recently declared here. Mr. Dybwad has in his possession a report of the Commissioner of Fish and Fisheries for the fiscal year 1888, reporting on the fishing season eleven years after the establishment of the first salmon cannery in Alaska Pcinting cut the importance of the west ¢ in contributing to the world’s food supply, the report shows a compilation of the salmon pack of 1889 for Alaska, British Columbia, Washington, Oregon and California In this coastal area, 122 canneries packed 1,701,460 cases of salmon valued at $9,065,689. Alaska's 675,- 000 cases were packed in 36 can- | neries, and had a market value of $3,375,000. An interesting point in this compilation is that although Alaska boasted only one more can- nery than the state of Oregon, her pack was more than double that of Oregon. Industry Important he salmon-canning industry of Alaska has become more important than that of any other region,” the report reads. “The increase in growth during the past few years has been phenomenal, especially in 1889 when the pack of 65,000 cas represented an increase of 377,000 cases over the previous year. How long the supply of salmon can keep up under this enormous drain can- not be predicted, but it would seem that Alaska is to be the great salmon region of the future.” While fishery experts were worry- ing about the “phenomenal” pack of 675000 cases in 1889 Dybwad peints out that it is interesting to note, that pack forty-nine years later sas approximately ten times that figure, but the volume has occas- ioned no great worry as far as de- pleting the resource is concerned. “Carefully worked out conservation measures have resulted in stabiliz- ing the pack at a high productive point,” Dybwad explains. Fishing Methods The report describes in some de- tail the various fishing methods in use at that time, On the Sacramento, then an important salmon river, gill | netting was the only type used, and fishing followed informal “laws” re: st HOME RADIOS FOR 19389 Delco offers the latest in radio development—beautifully designed cabinets and outstanding new features to bring you added enjoyment.
