FISH WHEELS.

There has not been a session of the
legislature for a number Of years that
Astoria has not attempted to have q
Ia " passed abolisfiRg fish wheels as Il
means of catching salmon, and an ef-
fort Is now being made in this direc-
ton by the Clatsop delegation. Fish
wheels are not used except in eddies.
where there is a counter current. and
where other means would not be profit
able. They are not in operation ex-
cept at the Cascades and in the middle
aud upper Columbia. The Astoria
fishermen have the 6rst chance at the
run of salmon before they reach the
upper waters of the river, aud
should not be jealous of the
wheeimen who are forcsd to
be satisfied with those which
escape the meshes of their miles Of
gill-nets.
1t is a fact to which all will
assent that the salmon industry
should be protected by legislation; but
the place where protection would be
most effective is at the mouth
of the river, where the stream is
blockaded every season by the nets OF
the Astoria fishermen, and myriads Of
fish are driven farther up the coast
In this connection the bills introduced
by Hons. w. W. S;eiwer and +. R.
Coon deals with the danger to this in
dustry. All the fish possible should
be allowed to enter the stream and 90 to
their spawning grounds. and not be
driven away by a wall of nets at the
entrance of the Columbia. After the
fish enter the stream they are legiti-
mate prey, and are the property
of those who desire to catch them.
Wheels are not damaging to the run,
in the least, or more destructive to
6sh than the gill nets, and salmon are
forced to course up the stream over a
hundred and fifty miles before they
reach the first Of these. They are so
constructed that small fish pass through
the meshes and regain their native
element, and only the larger and sale
able ones are retained.
1t may be that the legislators are
not properly informed on this subject,
and they imagine that wheelmen at the
Cascades and on the middle Columbia
ruthlsssly destroy the salmon that find
their way up stream. The fact Is
canning fish has developed largely in
this vicinity during the last few years,
and next season there will be two can
neries in operation at The Dalles.
When the run reaches here-those who
have managed to escape the miles of
nets at the mou,h-the wheels are
low cred into the water, aud are placed
In eddies which the fish will naturally
follow. The revolving hopper-cr
whatever it may be termed--scoops up
the larger fish, and the meshes in the
wire netting permit the smaller ones
to pass through. This is not at all
destructive of the run, and when it is
fully understood will not lie so consid- |
cred.

The BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

The hond sale which has just been
announced by the president is the
most important development of the
business situation for the week, says
the st. LOUIS Globe Democrat. Ten or
twelve days ago, when the raids on the
treasury sent the gold fund down to
about s42, 100000, there was fnan-
ciai scare in the business centers, and
q return of the panic times Of 1898
Was for few days look"d for. A
change for the better &C Fred, how
ever, when the assurances Of European
bankers that they would buy bonds
were made known to the public. Then
there was rally in the stock market,
and better feeling apreed through
business circles. Every body saw that
the country's credit remained good In
spite of the financial blunders and
imbecilities of congress. The govern
ment's intention to deal honestly with
It's creditors was recognized, and this
opened to it the money markets of the
world
Now that the bond sale has been ar
ranged further Frightening Of the
business sky is assured. The treas
ury peril has been averted, and as this
has been the chief disturbing factor in
the situation further Improvement in
trade may reasonably be looked for
soon. AS measured by ra!lrod earn
iugs, the conditions are favorable. The
in ;reese in revenues among the roads
entering IN ST. Louis is especially
large and gratifying. Bank clearances
in Sr. Louis and other great business
c.nters tell the same story of In
proved trade Not only Is there an
excess in both fields over the exhibit
of twelve months ago, but there is an
increase above that of the fall and
early winter months. Reports from
some OF the railroads passing through
the territory tributary to this city show
earnings closely approaching those of
the same date before the panic period.
"Bradstreet's" current business
news department., which covers the
whole country, continues to snow more
resumption than suspensions of work.
Strikes and lockouts are un1er way in
various places, but they apparently do
not far, if at all, exceed the record of
normal seasons. Disturbances OF this
sort, unhappy, are never altogether
absent. On the whole, however,
the prospects for an early re-
turn of business prosperity are
bright. The relief societies in the
different cities find far less want than
they did last wintsr. There has been
large falling off, as compared With
year ago, in the number of the unem-
ployed. In S.. Louis the change in
this direction is particularly striking.
There is fair degree Of activity here
in the leading industries. Merchants,
bankers, manufact urers and BUSINESS
men of all Classes in this city say that
the improvement in conditions since
last winter has been marked, and they
are taking cheerful view of the sit
uation.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

Wei Hai-Wei Is now in the hands
of the Japanese, and the Chinese feet
is reported wiped out of existence
Japan has conducted the war in very
effective manner, and has been bene-
6ted considerably by adopting western
civilization.
The new charter bill for Portland
passed the senate yesterday, and will
meet with no great opposition in the
house. 1t will reduce the expenses of
he city government several thousand
dollars, and economy is cardinal vir
tue these days.
Two telephone systems will be in
operation in this city very soon, and
communication by this means should
| be had with towns in the interior OF
the county. Then, if street cars were
added to the enterprise The Dalles
might be expected to be on the high
roaG of advancement.
According to the HI ennial report
for the year ending 1894, of the ad
jutant general of the Oregon National
Guard, the least expensive to the state
has heen the Third regiment In East
ern Oregon. The first regiment cost
the state during the two years $25,
237.45, the second Sll, 1913 S8 and the
Third S7,934 II, or less than one-third
of the expenses of the FIRST. Our
regiment is NOT, perhaps, as well
equipped as the others; but for actual
services in the fed would be equally
efficient.
Miss Annie Buacker, the only
woman saved on the ELbe, has received
command to visit the queen at her
royal residence at the Isle of Wight.
THIS may mean something which will |
be of pecunary benefit to the young |
lady, or 1t may End in her maj jesty
congratulating her on her escape and
expressing sym pathy for the other un
fortunate passengers. Mss Buecker
will have the privilege to gszs on
royalty; but this will not clothe or feed
her or till her depleted purse.
An amendment to the state oonsti-
tuition of Washington, voted on and
ratified at the last election. has gone
into effect by the proclamation of Gov
ernor McGraw. II amends section 5
of article l6 so as to resd "Noue OF
the permanent school funds of this
state shall ever be loaned to private
persons or corporations, but it may be
invested in national, state, county,
or school district bonds"
1t would be well If Oregon had such
law. The funds would be much safer
than now, and if school dis rict bonds
were given the preference it would
nj lp out districts in their financial
,f4lrs.

FOES AND FRIENDS.
Secretary Herbert Rewards the Man Who
Took Him Prisoner at Seven Pines.
WASHINGTON corr New York Sum

Secretary Herbert Rewards the Man Who
Took Him Prisoner at seven Pines.
Washington corr. New York Sun.
When Secretary of the Navy Herbert
was a confederate colonel his life was
saved at the battle of Seven Pines by a
Maine soldier, who prevented revengeful
comrade from running his bayonet
through the breast of the Alabama officer,
who had been wounded and had fallen
from his bullet-riddled horse. When Mr..
Herbert was a member of congress he en-
deavored unsuccessfully to learn from his
colleagues in the Maine delegation the
name of his preserver.
After he became secretary of the navy
he received a letter from a man in Cali
fornia asking if he we're tho Colonel Her
bert captured at the battle of Seven
Pines. The writer of the letter was Jona-
than Newcome, and he said that he was
one of the Maine soldiers who participated
in the capture. Secretary Herbert, IN an
swering the letter, made an appointment
to meet the man in California.
Some time after this the secretary went
TO California to visit the navy yard. and
there met his Maine soldier. He found
that the man had been at the front in the
attack and had taken him to the rear as
prisoner, but 1t was not the man who had
saved his life. His prcserver, the SER
geant, had been killed at Gettysburg, and
the search for him was ended.
Secretary Herbert was deprived of the
opportunity of showing his gratitude to
the principal, but he did the next best
thing by extending it to one survivor of
that little group that he found. The
man was ship calker, who had
drifted from Maine to the Pacific
coast, and was poor and out of en-
ployment. The order of the secretary of
the navy applying the civil service rules TO
navy yards was in force, but it was
rule made by an order and not by law.
Although it was the policy of the depart
ment and insisted upon by the president
that there should be no exception TO this
rule, the secretary suspended it long
enough TO give this man work in the yard
at his trade, and he gave directions that
as long as there was a ship or a boat in
the navy-yard to be calked the old Maine
soldier should have work.
