Six Types Proposed. Six types from which the power in- vited to arbitration may choose the one most suitable to the circumstances are proposed. ‘They are: 1.

EDINBURGH, Scotland, February 11. ~Fishermen on Scottish rivers, where the salmon season opened today, must carry heavily loaded pocketbooks, for salmon fishing is a rich man’s sport in Britain. For an average fisherman it is estl- mated each salmon landed costs the equivalent of £8 (roughly $40). Fresh salmon is a Summer delicacy, but a small portion garnished with a sprig of parsley and a slice of cucumber costs 5 shillings «($1.25) in a London restaurant. For this reason the only salmon most Britons ever get comes from America in tin cans. 1In Scotland, as in England and Wales, a fisherman rents his fishing ground just as he rents his house. Huge figures are pald for stretches of water on the Dee, Spey, Deveron and Findhorn. Three miles of the River Dee, for in- stance, has just been rented for £2,000 (810,000) for the season, which lasts until November. The Dee, which flows into the North Sea, at Aberdeen, probably is the most valuable fishing river in Scotland Rentals pald by rod fishermen on the Dee for the present scason total more | than £12.500 ($62.500). The Dee fish- ing stretches nearly 50 mlies. WOMAN'S BUREAU HOME IS SELECTED B Street Building, Opposite Capitol Grounds, Named Temporary Location.

At the time it was understood that they would be placed in the old St. James Hotel, at Sixth street and Pennsylvania avenue, but Mrs. Mina C. Van Winkle, director of the Woman's Bureau, objected so strenuously to the use of this building that the Commissioners ‘abandoned the plan, ; The House of Detention and the Woman's Bureau are now occupying the old Emergency Hospital Building, at Fifteenth street and Ohlo avenue, which is to be razed to make way for the new Department of Commerce building.
