NO DYNAMITE
M)Vement TO Stop killing Of
Fish by Use Of Explosive.

Eastport. Me-, May T.--It is reported
that the United States government is
about to join Canada in movement to
stop the killing OF fish with dynamite
outside as we'll as within the three-mile
limit, along the shores of Maine, New
Brunswick and Nova Scotia, and u. S.
District Attorney Isaac w. Dyer Of Port
land Is here TO confer with Capt Pratt OF
the Dominion Fisheries Protection Crui-
ser Curlew relative to the matter.
During the past two years hundreds OF
thousands OF cod. haddock and pollock
have been killed in this way, very large
portion Of which the fishermen have been
unable TO secure. These have either gone
TO the bottom or have drifted helplessly
TO the shores. Many others that have suf-
fered from the shock but were not k.ll-
ed have since been caught on the travis
OF legitimate fishermen and found To lie
i'm an unhealthy condition. Many OF these
diseased fish. however, are cured with
the Others and are passed on to the con-
sumers through the channels of trade.

TO inform you where you are at. but as
everybody knows that The News office
is on one of those corners the absence
OF the signs Is not greatly felt.
This list could be extended indefinitely,
but enough has been said TO show the
condition of some OF the principal thor
oughfares, while II can be inferred that
those less important are In a worse state
OF neglect I'm this respect
Mr.; l.. b.. Jones, the city sealer OF OF
charge OF the work OF placing signs In
position on the strees, said today that the
matter of street signs was entirely subor-
dinate TO the duties OF sealing.
He gave an interesting account of the
progress that has been made during his
TWO and one-half years In office.
CONDITIONS YEARLY IMPROVE.

the streets were in bad shape. as re-

"In my frst year In office laJ0 iron and
wooden signs were put up. Last year 100
signs were placed In position. 80 Tar

and we have 700 more painted and ready
10 be placed, but our appropriation Is ex-
hausted, and. anyway, the work must
wait until the fall. because this Is our

streets were changed With the excep-
ton OF Washington avenue and WASH

court lane or alley that bears the same
name This very naturally entailed a
great deal Of extra work.
WHY SIGNS ARE NOT UP.
1--WE began the work systematically So
far we have finished the First and Second
wards and about all of the Fourth. Fifth.
Sixth and Seventh wards. from Eroad s.

MINING MACHINERY.
Large Shipments Now Arriv-
ing in Surnpter Daily.

During the past few days nine carloads
OF mining machinery have arrived in
Sumpter. Six more carloads are ex.
pected before the first Of next month.
OF that which has already reached
here and has been unloaded, six ear.
loads were for the North Pole mill,
which il now doubling it, capacity.
Tom McEwen had the contract for de.
portion has already been hauled out.
Monday two carloads for the Califor.
mia arrived, including II sawmill, which
will be used first for getting out lumber
for the buildings and permanently for
saving timbers for the mine. The con.
centrators and cyanide tanks have also
reached Sumpter and will be transport
ell to the California as soon as possible.
Yesterday another carload Of lumber
for the Cracker Oregon came in from the
sawmill near McEwen. The air com.
pressor aud drills for the same company
arrived several days since. They cannot
be installed until the remainder of the
machinery, which includes the boilers
and engines, are placed in position.
General Manager Everett Brown re-.
ceived word Monday that this lot reach
cd Seattle Saturday. |, is supposed that
it was shipped over one OF the northern
continental routes, owing to the strike
on the Union Pacific.
A portion Of the machinery for the
Rand air drills for the Gold Coin,
bought from the Russell Brothers com.
pany, Of Seattle, has arrived and the
remainder is expected daily. Those
Seattle hustlers are doing business here
right under Portland's nose-and they
are good people to do business with, too.

Eastern Oreeons Rapid Growth.

Oregon il II large state, with land
area Of ~, 500 square miles. Ofthis area,
6S, 523 square miles are east Of the Cas-.
cade mountains. This gives to eastern
Oregon two.thirds Of the states surface.
The census Of 1900 gave the entire state
a total population Of +i3, ,535, with per-
centage Of increase for the past decade
Of 81 .O8 per cent. At this rate Of in
crease there should be now in Oregon
452. .lO2 people. OF the population in
Oregon in 1900, there lived then In east.

population of eastern Oregon was n ,598.
To reach the figures Of the next census
year there was gain Of 5l.A per cent,
showing that eastern Oregon gained dur.
ing the decade from ls8O TO 1890, 2O.36
per cent faster than the whole states

the increase OF population in eastern

Curious Fir Growth.

Some days sinceJ. W. Cowden brought
in from one Of his trips into the hills a
most curious growth. 1t is two limbs Of
a tree, of abont equal size, perhaps four
inches in diameter, connected by an
other limb, one quarter the size Of the
other two. The connection with each is
perfect and has the appearance at both
ends Of being u branch growing out in
the usual way. The curio is dead tim
ber and its position relative to the tree
on which it grew IL not known. 1t Was
found near the Monumental mine.
