reason for the fish being putrid is be

plentiful in their rivers and fishermen

PANAMA's CURRENCY PROJECT.

The project for the new currency for the repub-
Tic Of Panama, which has been the subject of con-
ference between the representatives of the republic
and Secretary Taft, seems to offer happy solution
of the difficulties that would arise on the isthmus
N the absence Of agreement, says the New York
Commercial. The new project is not exactly the
same as that adopted by the United States for the
Philippines, but adapts the same principle to diff
fering local conditions One of the fundamental
gains achieved for the United States is that the
eains to be used both in the Philippines and in
Panama are easily convertible into American cur
rency. In the Philippines two Filipino pesos are
the exact equivalent Of one dollar in American gold
in Panama the new gold peso is to be the exact
equivalent of our dollar Gold is not to be coined,
however, for Panama, but American gold coin and
geTd certificates wall be the money Of the larger
transactions
It is in providing for an adequate amount Of
subsidiary silver that the plan proposed for Panama
involves. or the one hand, slight departure from

ALL MUST PULL TOGETHER.

Within short time Tom Richardson. the husthng
commercial representative of the business interests
ef Portland, will issue the call for the meeting OF
delegates to the Oregon Development League. Dele
gates will be present from all sections Of the state
and at the meeting the method of organization will
be decided upon
Too much Importance could not well be attached
to the initial step of the league. 1t must be prop
erly organized if it is to be successful All sections
R the state must be represented in the list of Off
cers else there will not be that concert of action
which alone will net returns. To fill all of the Offices
by electing residents of Portland win, more than
anything else, tend to weaken the organization and
thereby obstruct the work Of the league.
Perhaps one Of the most successful commercial
organizations ever formed was the Four States I'm
migration League, which was made up Of delegates
from Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.
The president was citizen of Mississippi, the first
vice president resident of Texas the second vice
president resident Of Northern Louisiana, as far
renewed as possible from New Orleans, the metrop-
obs while the third vice president lived in Alabama
This great league got its principal strength from the
arrangement Of its organization with respect to the
residence Of its officers.
The Oregon league must be organized on similar
basis if it is to prove successful Its vice presidents
must be representative men from all sections who
IRE earnestly in sympathy with the effort to build
I'D the state. Those who are selected should b
hnstlers in every sense of the word, anxious t
work for the advancement of all sections and ever
which they represent. There are plenty Of men o.
this calber here in Oregon, and if they take hold
OF the league organization they will make it sue
aesz
The Astorian has this suggestion to offer in thu
matter Of organization: The president Of the league
should be resident Of Portland, for the sake o.
convenience the metropolis being centrally located
The first vice president should be resident of As
toria, the second city in population and commercial
Importance in the state The second vice presden
should come from Salem, the third, city, and th
third vice president should be chosen from Bake
City This arrangement would give western Oregon
the Willamette valley and eastern Oregon the proper
representation 1t is only necessary to choose gooC
men from the various cities to insure the success
Of the league.
The commercial bodies Of Astoria, ever anxious
to assist projects Of the kind, will gladly take W
the proposal and send delegates to the league con
vention Commercial bodies in other cities should
do likewise for upon the efforts of her people de
