"My first friend startled mo by stating that the picture had then been bought for Field-Marshal Goering, who, in his spare time, had been Karnering a mighty art collection, the reporter writes.
"But my second informant, quoting chapter and verse for his testimony, as he had been on the English side of the deal, avowed that two days before the entry of Holland into the war "The Three Morys" pleture was sold to a Dutch syndicate at its in- sured price of £300,000.

Horse Teams Help In Salmon Harvesting
SALEM, Ore.--Many folk coming into the Columbia River on shipboard have beheld with astonishment men and horses. that seem to be walking on the surface of the river. The stream at its mouth is wide-eight to ten miles-and to a per- son standing on the deck of a ship it all appears as deep as the channel in which his ship is moving.
Actually, the men and horses are working on wide, flat sand- bars which become islands at low tide. They are handling great salmon seines 200 fathoms, or 800 feet long and from 12 to 48 feet in depth, de- pending on the nature of the channel and tides. On a haul, they bring in from 200 pounds more than a ton of red- meated salmon.
