John Barrett. just appointed minister

Baily Astorian. At that time he was a

He showed himself to be clever re-
porter. close observer, and ready
with an opinion OF men and measures.
Editor Halloran always kept close
eye on all matter written for The AS

placed on the veteran editors table
for examination before being sent 10
the composltor. Barratt had been in the
employ Of The Astorian but a few
weeks when he wrote a local item and
polished II off with his opinion on the
subject matter. When Editor Halloran
finished reading Mr.. Barrettts item he
turned quickly to he present holder Of

CHANGES IN FISH LAWS
WARDEN WOULD ABOLISH
CLOSED SEASONS.
Thinks Fishing Should BE Pro.
hibited on Streams Where
Salmon Spawn.

Perhaps one of the most noteworthy
recommendations contained In the an
nual report Of Fish Warden Van Dusen
Is that for the abolition Of the spring
and fall closed seasons. The recon-
meniation has occasioned much COM
ment, as 1t embodies departure which
is sweeping in Its effects. An Astorian
representative called on Mr.. Van Dus-
en- yesterday and asked him his reasons
for making the suggestion. He said.
THE spring closed season law pro-
hibits the taking ot March and April
fish in the Columbia and It's tributaries.
Those varieties Of salmon, as every
one knows, are quite scarce. the sup
plies being entirely inadequate for the
canneries although sufficient for the
markets. The spring closed season
merely has the effect Of curtaIllng the
table supply Of salmon while It does not
increase the runs appearing in the
months Of March and April. What We
want are the May and June varieties,
and the hatcheries have demonstrated
their ability to take care Of these sup
plies.
my report suggests that a weekly
closed law would be better than the
spring closed seasan law. We have
Sunday closing law on our statute
books at the present time, but ii is in
operative, because Washington has no
such law. 1t is almost impossible to
enforce the Sunday law, and efforts
in that direction have been more or less
unsuccessful.
My idea is that We should try and
do away with the closed laws. and In
stead prohibit fishing operations on all
salmon-spawning streams. Were this
done the building up OF the industry
would not be interferred with, and
hatchery work could be carried on with
satisfaction
Mfr. Van Dusen is hot on the trail of
dynamiterp, and IL his recommended
tions are put into effect the peniten-
tiary will yawn for the men who resort
to the use Of explosives for the purpose
of killing salmon. Mr.. Van Dusen
points out that maliciously inclined
persons can, with a 50-cent stick Of
giant powder, kill nearly all the sal
mon held in the carrals at the hatch
cries. AT Ontario this year we had
10000 salmon in the carral at one
time" he said yesterday. and person
could have killed them all by throwing
a stick of giant powder into the river.
Dynamite does not always kill all the
salmon thus held. but it renders barren
the female salmon which have not
spawned. am anxious that the
state board should offer a reward fol
the arrest of every dynamiter. and that

Big Reward Offered forthe Dis

only son of a wealthy New Yorker,
who disowned the boy when he mar
ried Michigan girl. Henrietta was
born in Michigan and shortly after the
father was murdered in Chicago. The
mother married again and the little

Their idea is to connect Wellsvilie

from Wellsville or East Liverpool by
way of West Point to Lisbon and Sa-
lem, and possibly on to Sehring to
connect with the Stark electric lines.
They also intend to build line to

way of Garfield, or from point near
Franklin Square, by way Of Leetonia
or Columbiana, and thence down Mill
