Since the big Robertson log raft
crossed out In tow for San Francisco
the other day much speculation has
been indulged In BY those interested
In shipping from this port as to the
success OF the venture. Raft after raft,
In the past. has broken loose on pre-
vious ventures. menacing coast-wlse
shipping and involving many thousand
OF dollars OF loss. The weather con-
dltions within the past few days. how
ever. have been such that no fear is
felt as to the safe arrival Of the big
raft at her destination. Last nights
Telegram contained an interview with
Mr.. Fastabend. the contractor who con-
structed the raft along the lines laid
out by Mr.. Robertson. In the course
OF his conversation Mr.. Fastabend said:
III you know anything about vessels,
you must know that the argument set
up In this article published today as
to the danger to ships at sea from a
raft OF timber, such as have Just built,
either In case Of It's going to pieces or
otherwise, is ridiculous, The raft is
towed by two steamers, properly light
ed at night with regulation signals
Every care known to navigation is ex-
erclsed and there is no chance Of coll
llsion by day or night. Should there
be a gale strong enough to break up
the raft you must see that the indi-
vldual logs or spars, even one hundred
feet long, floating on the waves couldn't
even damage a sailboat. Should ves-
sci collide with one It could not be
otherwise than on the PROV OF the boat,
where there is not over six inches OF
square space. Struck end on here the
log or spar would only glance aside,
Should the spar lie crosswise the path
Of the vessel and even be struck near
the middle, II would only turn one
way or the other and glance by the
side Of the vessel All this talk Is sim
ply for effect by certain shipowners and
has no foundation In fact. Whoever
heard OF vessel being wrecked by
collidlng in the dark or daylight with
log at sea? And then, suppose the
towboats should have to cut loose from
raft of logs. or spars, and the raft
did not break up. would 1t be any |
worse menace to vessels than the many |
derellcts floating In the watersg I think
not"

The Portland Telegram last night
contained the following editorial COM
ment on the methods employed by fish
crmen on the Columbia river: The us

one hand. and the trapmen and wheel
men on the other, will be waged again
next winter At Salem. only with great
or heat than ever before. Much can be
said In behalf Of the position taken
BY either side, and the usual conN-
quences IL that the average legislator
becomes befogged. and doesn't know
what II best 10 do-and good many
NJ them don't care whether anything is
done or not, Some measure that will
further protect the salmon Industry
should be enacted. but in the midst Of
the strenuous strife that will prevail
II is doubtful II such VIII be the re-
suit" The only excuse for Legislators
being befuddled In the past has been
due TO the fact that they have not
Investigated the matter sufficiently 70

the merits OF the various methods en-
ployed In taking salmon from the riv-
er. Had those elected TO the legisla-
ture OF Oregon ana Washington In past
years adopted he policy OF lnvestlga-
tlon which was recently undertaken
by the newly-elec:ed legislators from
Multnomah and clatsop counties. the
question OF protecting the salmon on
the Columbia river would now be more
widely understood and more fish would

record price of 1896. For six months OF
the year it did not get below 32h cents
a bushel. After Sept. the range was
between 31A and 35 cents a bushel,
which was over 10 cents a bushel better,
or from % to so per cent better, than
the range for the same period in 1896.
That the farmers in 1850 could get from
one-quarter to one-third better prices for
their corn than in 1896, with only about
one-tenth less corn to sell, shows how
greatly they benefited by the broadened
markets the Republican policy of filing
the city workman's dinner pail had Civ
en- them. The spokesmen of the Demo
cratic party contend that the present
prosperity has come from the large crops
OF the last four years. and is not due in
any measure to Republican policies. In
