FIAT JUSTICIA.
Our Fellow Townsman Linus Hub
bard and His Open Columbia
River Work.

From the East Oregonian.I
With the Columbia river open and
free the people of the great Inland En-
country better developed. Cheaper
transportation would make lands profit
able which are idle at present, would
encourage enterprise which is dormant
now; would make men energetic who
are listless today. 1t would do much to
make the desert blossom as the rose.
Several prosperous towns would spring
up along both sides of the Columbia
river, affording labor and opportunity
to thousands in search of work. In
short, it would be a progressive step
which would never be forgotten. 1t
would build up an Empire.
Among the foremost workers for an
open river is Linus Hubbard. of The
Dalles. He never wearies in his efforts ;
he breathes the air of the future free
and open river; he proclaims from the
hill tops the benefits it would bestow.
Mr.. Hubbard is practical man, one
who knows a thing or Two, who has
hesitancy in declaring the greatest work
of the time to be IAN Open River. :"
He has recently sent out photographs
giving views of the steamers plying on
the lower river, with appropriate re-
marks and statement of facts existing
on the river prior to the state opening the
river below The Dalles. If the state will
use the same means to open the river
above the dalles the price for transport
ing wheat from points on and near the
Columbia would be materially les
sened. Undoubtedly the producers of
Umatilla county would receive at least
ten cents more per bushel for their
grain than they do at present. This
means at least $25O,000 year more in
the pockets of the farmers east of the
mountains. On this account an open
river is very important and every citizen
of the Inland Empire should do his ut
most to assist in bringing it about.

salmon out of Season.

The arrival of fine Chinook salmon in
the Columbia river. at the present
time teaches the importance of change
in the close season. Their spawn can
not hatch during the open season, be-
cause of the miles of lead lines hauled
by the tides across the spawning sandse
The fish coming i'll now were Matched
lafter the close of former seasons. Com
mon sense would seem to dictate a
Ichange of the time for fishing. Close
the present open season; let the fish
have chance to come in unobstructed
and spawn for three years; and fish in
the present close season. A Portland
paper says of the present run: Follow
ing close after the first lot of Columb bia
salmon made its appearance in the
market yesterday. 1t was as plump as
partridge, and as bright as a silver dol
lar. and had just come from the ocean.
Fish sharps are at loss to account for
the unusually early arrival of the smelt
and chinook salmon. Some say the
food in the river has brought them up,
but flood at this season is no unusual
thing, and has never brought the fish
up SO early before. Early springs are
not uncommon here, but it is hardly
possible that spring has come before
winter has set in. Probably the fish
will find that they have been little too
previous and will go back and wait till
their usual season comes around" A
man cannot be very much of a ffisll
sharp" to be unable to account for the
unusually early arrival" The is

| probably three or five years ago, have

Mr.. Folco got the cigars, in the at-l
tachment suit before Judge Tom Ward
yesterday. The trial of the case was a
most aggravating one, and at times
counsel became warmed up to the pitch
OF battle. Whites side was hotly con-
tested by Judge J. B. Condor, and as
strongly opposed by Messrs. Myers and
Riddell. 1t was made clear to the jury
that the attached goods belonged to
White, and that his attempt to get them
out of the way to avoid payment of his
debts was fraud. The attachment holds
the cigars, and the Sheriff puts up for
the jury, and there was consequently no
strike. Otherwise the jury intended to
hold its verdict as compensation of fees
Mr.. George Belshaw, the famous
wheat grower of Eugene now has the
most magnificent collection of wheat he
has ever raised and it will be placed in
the Oregon exhibit at the Columbian
exposition. This collection includes
200 bundles and eighty sacks of as many
varieties of wheat. Many of the bur
dies of wheat stand over seven and a
half feet high. Mr.. Belshaw has been
engaged for many years in testing varie-
ties of wheat under a system of high
culture and has experimental with over
200 varieties. AS indicating what his
skill, in conjunction with the favorable
natural conditions found in Oregon can
do, is the fact that wheat grown by him
took the first place both at the Centen-
NAL exposition at Philadelphia in '76
and at the New Orleans exposition. He
considers his present exhibit superior to
any that he has ever made before.
The Roslyn gang are all safely held
for trial in the Kittitas county Jail, in
bonds of $l0,C 30 each; but they are of
such Il notorious band of outlaws that
there will be plenty of chums to swear
them out falsely. They have been a
holy terror to the Inland Empire ever
since they set up in business in what is
known now as Gillian county. At diff
ferent times members of this gang have
been arrested; but no jury can be found
that will convict them. Some time age
one of the Zachary boys and George Roe
were caught in the very act of killing
and selling stolen steer to a butcher
Roe skipped out, but was arrested and
brought back. The. evidence against
him was of the strongest kind, and he
was convicted. But did he go to the
peuitentiary? He was simply finec
81 800, which the gang paid. His part
ner in crime, equally guilty, was NO
even arrested, although the testimony
showed that he helped butcher the steer
and received half of the proceeds of the
sale.
