caught in traps. Great, shutes have
been built, leading from the fish traps
to the canning factories. The salmon
virtually catch themselves and once in
the tolls there is no escape. They
can only follow the fumes, and end
their careers in the tin cans which the
Oregonian fish dealers provide for their
reception.
The sturgeon and founder are also
caught in large quantities. and the
black bass fostered by the United
States government fish commission, is
gaining in Importance each year.
Splendid timber grows abundantly all
over Oregon, but it is the Douglas fir
that is known the world over. The
largest specimen of this timber in Ore
gon was felled at Aberdeen in May for
exhibit at the worlds fair. The tree
was 300 feet high and 40 feet in cir
cumference at the base. 1t was 11S feet
from the ground to the first limb. The
age of this giant of the Oregon pineries
is estimated to be over 400 years. More
ships carry masts of Oregon Douglas
fir than any other timber. The largest
and best flag staffs are supplied by
trees from the same forests. Other tim
bers and lumber will be shown, includ-
ing, especially, maple. oak and ash.
Oregon's display of agricultural and
horticultural products win be large.
The prune industry of that state is ex-
ceedingly important, the crop in 1902
being valued at more than $4,000. 900.
The oregon fruit compares favorably
with the famous French product. Small
fruits also thrive in the state In agri-
culture, the exhibit will be largely
based on wheat, oats, barley, and the
grasses.

fighter of Boston who has been seen in
the ring on an average of once every
week for several months past. is to
hook up with Jimmy Kelly, the New

a large following among Boston sport

OREGON'S BIG TREE

construction of Oregons state building
at the worlds fair at st. Louis.
The Oregon building will occupy a
site Immediately north of the New York
state building. The state Legislature has
made an appropriation of $4,000 for
the worlds fair, but a much greater
sum will be available. Fivehundred
thousand dollars have been appropri-
ated by Oregon for the Lewis and Clark
exposition, to be held in Portland, in
1905. The same commissioners will
handle the exhibits for both fairs.
Many valuable exhibits prepared for
the Portland exposition will be first
displayed at the worlds fair at ST.
Louis.
In fish and forestry, Oregons exhibits
will be especially rich. The Columbia
river salmon fisheries. the richest in the
world. will furnish an 'unrivalled ex-

salmon, and how they are handled, will
be shown in detail. The average size
of the salmon of Oregon commerce is
from IS to 20 pounds. and they some
times reach the enormous weight of
so to IS pounds. The fish come i'm
from the Pacific ocean, and ascend the
Columbia river to spawn. When the
eggs hatch, the little salmon go out to
sea, and remain until they attain full
size. Then instinct leads them back

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-There Is a
noticeable unrest among the leaders of
both the democratic and republican
parties in this city and state and the
lesser lights as we'll as the public in
general are interestedly awaiting fu-
ture developments. Despite the an
nouncement of perfect harmony"
among the republicans, 1t is known
that the Platt- Odell factions will never
be on good terms both the governor
and Senator Plat are men of too much
determination to give in to each other
one inch more than would conserve to
the general welfare of the party and
it is the opinion of many that Platt
VIII win out in the end. Naturally his
long leadership has won for him many
friends who refuse to forsake him now
and many of these friends are men of
national reputation and influence
On the other hand the democrats are
enthusiastic as well as restless; while
they are uneasy of course concerning
a candidate for first place on the ticket
next year rosy view Of the future of
the party is taken by many leaders
who declare that next year the demo-
Gratis will carry the state in the presi-
dental and gubernatorial elections and
that further, the Legislature will be
democratic. One great hope of the
democrats is to pass legislation pro-
Viding for a uniform registration all
over the state and this, they say, will
end what is considered by many, IL
legal voting up the state. This voting.

The importers of wine in this city
are making bitter complaint against
the inadequacy of the pure food law
passed at the last session of congress.
as a preventive of the Importation of
adulterated food products The law
they declare, is all right as far as it
goes. but it does not go far enough. 1t
excludes the adulterated goods. but
makes no provision against adultera-
ton after the goods reach the port. It
is known that often n small quantity
of pure Italian wine is imported pure
and used to give a characteristic flavor
to a large quantity of cheap California
wine and the product is sold as a pure
Italian product.

When the bullet clipped him he had

he realized that he was lying in the tall
grass. He forgot the incident Of his
falling and he forgot which Of all the
little dots in front of him might have
sent him this reminder. lie only knew
that he wanted air and water, and he
realized that 1t was impossible to get
either
The grass fell about him like q cur
tain, shutting off every wandering
breath which might aid Elm. Water
was entirely out of the question, until
he remembered the canteen lying on
one Of his hips. With a good deal Of
pain and some difficulty he rolled over
to find that his water flask was more
than half filled. The drink was al
most as warm as the air he was breath
ing. But even warm water can be
palatable. and he gurgled down the
contents to the last drop. Then he
wanted more water and in his agony
he screamed for 1t.
The scorching sun above seemed Il
be pouring down streams of fire on this
man, who weltered in his own blood
His leg had been broken by a bullet
and he felt himself, nervously. trying
to stop the flow of blood. With his

WANTS STREET RIGHTS

Editor Evening Bulletin:-Under
American and British flags we claim
every man has equal rights and per-
haps never more so than on the public
roads or highways. Still from the
experience of some one would hardly
believe 1t applied to the Territory OF
Hawaii, whether wilfully, through neg
leCt or from peCuniary interests, II is
for us to Judge. The pedestrians OF
Honolulu have never had their rights.
The claiming of the sidewalks to the
owners of the property abutting there
to has always led to dangerous and
miserable sidewalks. No wonder we
suffer from want of exercise when to
take exercise we have often to endan-
ger limb, dirt and other discomforts.
Now. on the NuuaEu Avenue We are TO
be deprived of our sidewalks. such as
they are by the Rapid Transits poles.
May ask, have any private company
a right to take up parts Of my side
walk and place poles in the ground?
Their spelling my sidewalk has cost
, me much to put in nice condition and
add TO the appearance and comfort OF
my home. Again. had any one a right
to compel me to walk on the road
part, reserved more especially for car
riage purposes? | think not.
It may answered by the Government
that where they have allowed such
TO widen the streets to their proper
width. If so why cannot this be done
before the Rapid Transit interferes
with the rights private individuals?
feel | am speaking correctly when
say that no Government has right
&c say we place private vehicles and
pedestrians second to a money making
concern.
The Rapid Transit Co., think |
should ask the Government to prepare
the roads to meet their requirements
and then their appearance in the
streets would be considered by most
as blessing, Perhaps the company
has done so and that the Government
is TO blame. Still, the facts are the
same, pedestrians and owners OF pri-
vate vehicles and hacks are made to
suffer without a Just cause.
Again | would ask, why are we TO
have these ugly poles multiplied in
our streets. Is this beautiful spot, nat
urally, its pretty surroundings, it's up
to date use OF electricity to be cursed
with crooked unsightly poles placed
by the score in our beautiful highways
in happy go lucky style, put in any
way, anyhow, by thinkers or tailors or
sailors. Oh, anything will do jam and
ram 1t down, and thus we find that
the beautiful homes and surroundings
are marred and bIghted by these
sticks. II we must have the highway
monopolised with these contrivances,
for goodness sake give us the best you
can Is the opinion OF one who believes
all have equal rights.
