BIG DESTRUCTION OF SALMON
A Correspondent from The Dalles
Makes Allegations Supported by
Facts and Past Experience Of
Violation Of Fishing Laws.

The Dalles, oregon, Dec, H. 1904.
Editor of the Morning Astorian;
Dear Sir: have just read your
editorial of the 9th instant. and to say
that II was the truth In all respects
would not half express my sentiments,
The Seuferts had Ave seines going
most of the close season last fall. and
either one OF them destroyed more sal
mon spawn than would run half a
dozen canneries. You can think back
and see that since 1895, when Seufert
commenced seining on the bars below
Cello that not only bluebacks. but all
other kinds OF salmon. particularly the
spring and summer run of fish, are
almost a thing OF the past.
One OF his seines do more damage to

istence on this river. Yes. by all means.

tide water or at least after August

bars to spawn. | venture the asser-
ton that II the spawning bars were
protected as l suggest that the former
runs of summer salmon would. In n
few years, occur again without any
artificial propagation, as was the case
up to 1895. after which date Seufert
and every one else who could find a
bar, seined on Il regardless OF the con-
sequences to the general result. There
are parties in The Dalles who were
engaged in building the portage on the
Washington side, who informed ME
that they were witnesses to Seu-
fert's seines sweeping away countless
tons OF salmon spawn when first COM
mencing each fall.
In my letter to you yesterday for
got TO call your attention to an edi-
torial which appeared in the Morning
Oregonian Of December IL, last. II
made mention OF Mr.. Seuferts har-
Messing the water on the fails Of Cello
which had been running to waste since
the world began, and no one else but
Mr.. Seufert had thought Of helping out
the people, to the benefits that will now
be derived from his philanthroplc ven-
ture in this blessing to the whole state.
Mr.. Seufert was letting off some OF
his hot air in the Imperial hotel while
a reporter was reeling 1t up for his
paper, where Mr.. Seufert did not In
tend 1t to go. What a blessing Mr..
Seufert is to this state. at the expense,

LYMAN ABBors VIEW.
Believes in Different God With Hazy
Identity,

New York. Dec. 19.-Dr. Lyman Alb
bott. In a sermon to Harvard students,
has announced his belief in a religion
founded, not on the Bible, but on
science and the outreachings of the
human heart, says a World dispatch
from Cambridge. Mass.
II wonder" he said, "if you will
understand me when l say that l nc
longer believe in great first cause
My God is a great and ever present
force, which is manifest in all the ac-
tivities of men and all the workings Of
nature.
Il believe In a God who is in and
through and Of everything-not an alb
sentee God, whom we have to reach
through Bible or some other outside
aid. but God who is closer to us than
hands or feet. Science, literature and
history tell US that there is one eternal
energy, that the Bible no longer can
be accepted as ultimate, that many of
its laws were copied from other relig-
ions, that the 10 commandments did not
'spitng spontaneously from Moses, but
were, like all laws, gradual growth,
and that man is creature not a crea-
tion.

Few hours before the fight tomorrow
night will Jimmy Britt and Battling
Nelson leave their respective training
camps. All hard work, however, ceased
yesterday, and the boxers, who are al
ready at weight, did little today but
loosen up and move around in a
recreative way
Nelson is a fraction under weight
this afternoon and Britt only fraction
over, so the forfeit money on both
sides is safe. as also the many bets
that have been wagered on the contest
In the betting Britt is favorite at
varying odds At sporting headquar-
ters today the odds offered were 10 to
s. but tonight the Nelsonites are asking
for 10 to Z, and it is believed these
odds will prevail tomorrow and at the
ringside. However, there are many
who think that because of Nelson's
fight with Corbett he may again make
short ender come away winner"
In interviews this afternoon both of
the little men expressed the greatest
confidence, and, whoever wins, the out
come is not likely to be met with ex-
cuses from either side.
