tudes of the Cascade mountains has re-
maiDed much longer than tor many years,

going many places, and as 1t is growing |

!. supposed to be rich in mineral, will moi
be visited at all this year. The country |
is far from being fully prospected. Kit
itas county cohtains greater variety OF
minerals perhaps than any county IN the
state. there are good mines of gold,
silver, lead, copper, iron, coal, mineral
paint, asbestos, plumbago, lime and ce-
ment rock and cinlbar.

: of having fishwsy put in at the William
ette falls at Oregon City, SO as to increas.
the extent of the water IN which salmon
I spawn, and in which the eggs can bt
matched. All the cannerymen seem to be
: in sympathy with this movement. and be-
ieve that it would be for the best interests
of all. In conjunction with the construc
tion of the fishway. l would also favor con
demning the Willamette and its tributaries

increase the natural propagation. Such
measure shall introduce Ii the legislature.
