FRENCH FISHERMEN.
Their Rights in the Waters
OF New Foundland.
A BREEZE IN THE DEPU TIES
some of the Members Favor n
Forcible Assertion of
French Rights.

PANS, Jan. aO.-In tho chamber Of
deputies to-day, Fl0uren raised "a breeze
10y questioning the government authority
in regard to the rights of French fisher
men in New Eoundland, which he
claimed had been violated grossly by
the English.
spullcr, minister of foreign affairs, eN-
planned that the complication had been
caused by the New Foundland p0rlia-
ment claiming that distinction should
be made between cod, as fish, and lob
sters, As crustacea, but that this distinc-
ton was not admissible. France had un-
restricted rights there. The cham Der
could rely upon the vigilance Of the
government.
Flouren protested again that the rights
OF the fishermen had been violated, and
that the government did not protect
them with proper energy. I'VE are
obliged" he said, ito apply to England
TO make our rights respected. II Is TOR
US to enforce respect. This Is not q
question for negotiation, but for police
measures, England will not take steps to
change the conditions, merely because
they are prejudicial to French Usher
men. IL Is Tor Us to pr toct our own
La Chambro also asked whether the
fishermen wcro TO receive protection
from the naval devision.
Admiral krautl, minister OF marine,
said that as a naval commander could
not interpret treaties, he could execute
ms instructions but that It was neccs-
sary first that others should agree upon
the tenor of those Instructions.
freppel and Cassagnac introduced
motions ntyoiing vigorous assertion
nf French rights.

About All the Farmers Can DO
Is TO Feed Their Stock
and Hope.

ONgsbktR, Jan. Colts snow here
snow there, snow in everything, snow
over every thing, and snow every place,
and you bet 1t looks just like midwinter.
1t has been a hard matter to keep the
roads broken, and just about the time
the railroads get opened out then IL
blows and drifts them shut again. Most
Of the time for the past two weeks we
never knew when train was coming,
aud never looked for one until We heard
or saw it. There has not been tram
over the Oregon Railway Il Navigation
for over two weeks.
1t is easy to feed stock--no mud To
waste hay on, but the great trouble is To-
many of the farmers arc very scarce OF
feed, and should this continue great
length of time many will have to ieet
all their feed and have none to put out
their crop with. Hay can not be bought
for love nor money, and every stack oil
straw will be eaten mp and sold. From
this on every farmer will have to pre-
pare at least ono-third more feed than
heretofore, AS there Is no grass to depend
upon,
The snowstorm from the southeast
last week was the worst we ever saw
from tn, / direction, and drifted the
snow worse. Tho snow Is driited differ

One thing think we can depend

not stop till the snow Is all gone, and
that about all the water will go into the

the stock to live on.
NOTES.
For once during the past week bust

stormy weather and the heavy roads
