DAMMING A RIVER.

To the Editor: AS one OF your subscrib-
ers should like TO ask IL there is no way
OF compelling lawbreakers to respect the
law of this state concerning the damming
OF rivers and stopping fish from running
up our mountain streams. In the Yakima
river, one mile west of Euston station, a
man has put In a dam, made of hewed
timbers, across rock gorge, in the river
in such shape that fish can not get up in
any numbers. The fish commissioner at
Vancouver was written to more than two
months ago. and he promised to give
the matter attention. The county attorney
was notified, but the river is still blocked.
No use is made of this dam, and it is not
likely any ever will be. as ii is simply put
in to hold a water right that some one
else might make use of at some future
time Fish can Of permitted) go twelve
to fifteen miles further up the main river.
besides up many small streams and into
Lake Kitcheios. In addition the Indians
have built a line of willow netting in
front of this dam and are taking the fish
In great numbers. II seems shame that
hundreds OF people must be deprived of
sporting on these streams and lake by the
refusal of one man 10 obey the law and
put in fish ladder. so fish can get up
stream, but what can we expect when the
officers of the law will not compel COM
pliance Herewith. Yours truly.

No REASON FOR DELAY.

Had the last congress carried out the
wishes OF the people Of the United States
the Nicaragua canal bin would have he
come law. and by this time active prep
aratiaus would have been under way for
the inauguration of substantial AMI con-

Ammen as saying that II Mr. Cleveland
had not withdrawn from the senate the
treaty which coded to this country the
right-of-way. with It's accompanying land
grant. the work would have been com
pleted FIVE years ago. Possibly this is
true. A. all events. great progress would
have been made and there Is every reason
for believing that the opening Of the canal
would have been an event Of the very near
future
The prctigious incaracity for work
