Mr. G H Douglas, of Reno, Nevada, is

MUST HAVE A FISH LADDER.-A Eu-
gene man wrote 10 Fish Commissioner
Mcdonald about stocking the Upper
Willamette with fish, and received the
following reply among other suggestions
"In order 70 give the anadromous species
an opportunity to ascend the Willamette
the fall at Oregon City must be overcome,
and until the state provides a passage
for the fish the greater extent of the river
must remain without salmon and mikra-
tory trout. Certain fish which are not
migratory can, OF course, be placed above
the obstruction, hut the fall now prevents
the utilization of what would become a
great resource for the state"
DEDICATION. On Sunday the new c P
church in the eastern part of the city IVES
dedicated according to the ceremonial
form prescribed by the rules of that
church. The little church was filed 70
overlooking. A very interesting sermon
was preached by Rev Longbottom of
Brownsville. The people of that part of
the city are fortunate in securing in theiI
midst the establishment of church whose
mission is to assist in bringing up the
young in the way they should go and
turning the minds of men away from lin.

ALBANY TO AsToRIA.-Albany will
probably have an opportunity to cay
whether she wants railroad from As.
toria or not. While we are watching
Eugene raise $lO0, 600 subsidy we must
begin getting ready for some live work
on our own part. Representatives of the
Astoria road coming this way will be at
Salem and Albany in few days to see
what the cities viii do. The road is one
the city wants, and there should be at
the proper lime strong effort made to
secure it.
CARMAN FNED--Frank Carman, the
man from Lebanon, who is supposed to
be desperate man OF some sort, was ar.
Faigned before City Recorder Goodell

sentence shall have expired ne will be

THE RADLeFF CAsE.-Radloff, III
Seattle conspirator, continues to remain q
large. He was traced into California
when track of him was lost; but 1t wa
thought he returned towards Seattle. Hi
arrest Is necessary to the conviction of I
least DIR Ballard. Lebanon people 6h
of course know DIR Ballard well, say h
record there was always clean, and believ
the case Is one of blackmail. The pres
