THE ORIGINAL JUDGE LYNCH.

 Judge Lynch; the one a shrewd. clear reasoner, whose name now sioni. hes q fool; the other, simple Quaker. gentleman, whose name has come to stand for organized savagery. Charles Lyllch was q man whose services to his country as brave pioneer and rlgnteous Judge, as a soldier and, a statesman, are by no means deserving or oblivion, still less of obloquy. It seems, indeed, one of the iniquities of rate that his name should now be uni Versally applied to proceedings that no one would condemn more heartily than ne. he records of the court of Bed- ford county, in Virginia. and those cf various quaker meetings, the journals of the Virginia house of burgesses and of the first constitutional convention. taken together with family documents and traditions, show him to have been an upright and useful member of so clety and wise and energetic leader ct ihC iAOol llHpOIldIlL cTlSlS or Ampri- can history.
 After the end of the Revolution, Gol- onel Lynch resumed his duties as i.s- tice of the peace and member of rbe assembly. Time and again, as before the war, we find him mentioned in the court records as active for the wei fare of the community We find him acting as umpire to settle the little dis putes of his neighbors, as executor of the estates of his friends as one by one they passed away, as guardian of the orphans, as overseer of the poor. Tn nearly every field where a man of honor and firmness was needed. He lived to see his country free and peace declared with England, to renew his friendship with those of his tory neigh bors that had felt his severity in time of war, to see the government of the United States reorganized, and to vote for the new constitution in 17SS.

RICE AND DIXON.

Practically all the terms of the match between Austin Rice of New London and George Dixon of Boston, to take place in New London on. Thus day night of next week, were arranged Wednesday night and the articles were drawn up and sent to New York for DiXon's. signature Dixon has placed himself under the management of Joe Humphries of New York for this match and will complete his training in that city. Rice returned Wednes- day evening from Manchester. N. H., where he met Patsy Haley. The New London boy was greatly pleased over the prospect of meeting Dixon. The cOlOred youth is one of the few top notch featherweights that Rice has never met. Before McGovern gained his victory over Dixon the latter was unwilling to take anything but cham pionship bout. Jack Lowery is ex- pected to help Rice ill his training. The New York featherweight is of great assistance. as he has a knowl- edge of every kink in the business. The preliminary to the Rice-Dixon bout will be an eight or a ten-round mill between Young Riley, who made a reputation for himself at the last ex- hibition, and Billy Jackson, young man from Willimantic, and Baltic sports and Riley's friends from the Eastern Shipbuilding Go will be cer- tain to be on hand. Harry Pollock, assistant sporting editor of the New York Evening Journal, has. been en- gagged as official referee of the club.

But one OF Corse's officers caught
sight Of a white signal flag nuttering
in the breeze on the top Of the Kene-

and then came the inspiring message
from mountain TO mountain: Hold

CATCHING
SALMON
In North Mill Greek AS a
Result of the Removal of
Traps At Oregon City.
The willamette Could Be
PIentifulIy supplied with
This Fish if Proper FaciI-
tiles Were Established.

For the last two or three weeks loca
fishermen and the usual crowd Of small
boys have been enjoying excellent spori
at the dam in North Mill creek near
High street. by catching salmon. After
sundown every evening they can be
seen in considerable numbers attempt.
ing to Jump the dam, )" their run extend.
ing until quite late at night.
Most Of the fishers provide themselves
with long spears, and seated on the old
gate Immediately above the dam, have
excellent opportunities to spear the fish
when they land on the boards, and not
a few have been caught in this way.
They average from two TO two and a
half feet in length, and various opinions
are expressed as TO their variety, but
those who have tested the meat pro-
nounce it Of high order OF excellence.
This is the spawning season Of the
salmon and they attempt TO reach the
heads Of the streams 10 lay their eggs,
and il some way we're provided for them
TO go above the dams, chances are ex
cellent for an abundant stocking of the
majority oftbe streams by the next seas
or. The enormous run Of salmon. on
the Columbia river indicates that their
numbers every where are unusually
large, and II artificial hatcheries could
be supplsnted by the natural process
II would mean a monetary saving to the
state.
Some years ago, way back under the
Pennoyer regime, the legislature appro-
priated $40, 900 to build fish ladler at
Oregon City 10 make II possible for
salmon 20 get over the falls, and thus
supply the Willamette river. The
ladder was put in, and ever since the
public has been wondering why the
wonderful Chinook were not forthcom-
ing. 1t was learned that some graft
fishermen had hemmed in the mouth Of
the ladder with a wall of nets and set
fish wheel below, thus capturing every
fish that could have gotten up. This
fish wheel has been removed, and now
that the upper Willamette swarns with
salmon, people are actually beginning
TO believe that fish ladder was put in.
This probably accounts for the big fish
trying to get up over the dam in North
Mill Greek.
The purpose Of the fish ladder was 10
allow the large fish TO get above into the
smaller streams for spawning purposes,
and no doubt the presence Of these
great beauties here now is for this pur-
pose. The dam in the creek is great
drawback and some arrangement should
be made to allow the fish TO pass up over
the same, which could be done at slight
expense, and would undoubtedly be
amby rewarded.

The effects Of ammonia upon the
complexion are directly the opposite to
that Of arsenic. The first symptom OF
ammonia poisoning which appears
among those who work in ammonia
factories is a dlscoloration Of the skin
Of the nose and the forehead. This
gradually extends over the face until
the complexion has a stained. blotched
and unsightly appearance. With peo-
pie who take ammonia into their sys-
TENS IN smaller doses. as with their
water or food. these striking symptoms
do not appear so soon. The only effect
Of the poison that is visible for a time
is a general unwholesomeness and sal
lowness Of the complexion.

The Only Man who has
Whipped Sharkey Is in

He Wants to Meet JeffrieS,
and Would 60 TO Mexico

PoRruAND, Or, July 26-Gus Ruhlin'
the only man who ever whipped shar.

Billy Madden, and "Denver Ed" Martin.
The fatnous trio Of pugulistic celebrities
will remain in town at least two weeks,
and probably longer. Madden has
arranged wrestling bout between
Rubin and Joe Acton, wrestling in.
structor Of Multnomah athletic club, to
take place within three weeks. He has
also arranged a match between Martin
and Fred Russell, in Seattle, to take
place early in August.
Since glove contests have been tabooed
by the authorities Of New York all the
high lights Of the puRilistic arena have
taken up wrestling. and are proving
wonderfully apt at the game Two
weeks ago Rubin defeated Fitzsimmons
at Madison Square Garden in two
straight falls after clever exhibition.
Rubin is open to all, either for wrestl.
ingor boxing, and his main purpose in
coming 10 the coast was to arrange for a
fight with Jeffies, who ever since be
fought draw with Rubin two years
ago has persisiently avoided him the

and sgreed upon fight, all details be-

was even agreed upon. Since then
Madden has been unsble TO get any

Of the Associated Press here and dictated
a statement that Rubin 10 secure a
match with Jeffries would 20 to Mexico
and fight with skin gloves, or bare
knuckles for tlOOOa side. No reply 10
this has been received.
"Jeffries has been doing lot OF talk
