Orr THE TRACK 1t looks 10 us rs
though it would be good idea to build a
Tish ladder at the mouth of the Calipooia
river so that fish can get up this sheam
If such thing was done the people here
could enjoy the (now seldom offered op-
portunity) eating of fresh salmon. II we
are not mistaken the law provides for a
ladder of this kind, wherever there i. any
obstruction placed across the river, al as
such is the case here 1t should be al once
looked into Brownsville Times. AS no
salmon are in The Willamette at ALBANY a

wise look equal to the --isdom of an owl,
sneered that "ihe Record was OVERRIDING
it." Although the Record was greatly
pleased with the manner Ashland showed

was 'overdoing it" is too preposierous.
We would have "done him up" even more.
"Overdoing it" TO. not much"
