Waltz Contest.

At the opera house last Saturday
night Carr Bros. waltzing contest
was held and good sized crowd was
present. There we're number of

that class of finer dancers never
graced Weiser ballroom floor. The
winners in the contest were Miss Joie
Call and John Nevins, Jr., and the
prizes awarded we're lady and
gentlemen's handsome and latest
style pocket-books.
Those following close second in

A Visit from the StOrk.

The stork, or, possibly one of the
large white swan that have been pass

at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Gustave

of last Saturday morning, bright,
dainty, black k-haired, brown-eyed

and will do all in their power to
render her stay so pleasant that she
will remain with them permanently.

ferage would create disaster by
throwing IA, 600, 900 additional votes
at once into politics, and that 4, 000-
600 negresses would be given ballot.
Parallels were cited from states hav-
ing equal suffrage and the point
made that an increase of corruption
would result, since the worse class of
women would be the first to avail
themselves of the voting privilege.
Miss Marsh made perhaps better
impression than any of the speakers.
Her delivery could be heard all over
the room and was clear and forcible
and strong on impromptu rebuttal.
She wore white and carried red car
nations. She is pretty blonde.

ONTARIO FISH HATCHERY
LARGEST IN THE WORLD
OWNED AND OPERATED BY STATE OF
0REG0N---FEW MILES EAST OF
WEISER.

The largest fish hatchery in the
world is located at Ontario, Oregon.
1t is now turning out the first batch
of young salmon, that in four years
will reappear in the lower Columbia
river and be caught. The Baker
City Democrat says:
The state of Oregon owns and
operates the largest fish hatchery in
the world. 1t is located at Ontario,
Malheur county, on the Snake river
and is now turning out its first batch
of young salmon.
About 5000, 900 young Royal
Chinook salmon, or sixteen times as
many as are annually caught in the
Columbia river, will be turned loose
at Ontario this spring. The fish are
now scarcely more than an inch long
and they will go down the Snake and
Columbia rivers and out into the Pa
cific ocean, where they will grow to
maturity. -Four or five years hence
many of them will return, weighing
on an average of 80 pounds each and
worth to the fishermen 5 cents 9
pound. If only one out of every
20 returns the hatchery will more
than keep up the supply of salmon
Last Saturday evening the state
fish commissioner, accompanied by
Governor Chamberlain, Secretary o.
State Dunbar and State Treasurer
Moore, went to Ontario to make al
inspection of this important lnstitu
ton. They were accompanied b.

The southbound P. & l. N. train

The accident occurred about half a
mile north of Cambridge. The train

found that no limbs were broken, but
it lie thought three or four ribs are
broken and he is otherwise injured

Smith lie said to be deaf and very
near-sighted which accounts for the
unfortunate accident. AS soon as

whistle but was unable to stop his

working conditions. and we're each
gratifed to learn that the fret sea-
sons operations had proven the wis
dom of the selection of that site for
hatchery.
The eggs taken at Ontario are
from the best specimens 'of Royal
Chinook salmon, thus increasing the
number of fish that make the best
canned product. The reputation of
Columbia river salmon, already the
best in the world, will be further
strengthened by this artificial proga-
CATION Of the best variety.
The site 1t OnIario has the advant-
age Of never failing water supply
and distance from the ocean. The
fish that ascends the river farthest
are the ones that come into the river
earliest and have flesh of the best
flavor.
At a recent visit of the Oregon
fish commission at the Ontario fish
hatchery it was decided to make ex-
tensive improvements. About May
1st contract will be let for the con-
struction of bunk house 16x30, q
new barn 20x3O, an addition to the
superintendent's residence and the
hatchery building will be painted IN
side and out, white and green, Sup
erintendent Browns colors. The
bank of Snake river will also be rip
raped. Since April l Superintend-
ent Brown has been depositing be-
tween ESQ, 900 and 300, 900 young
salmon in the river daily and it Is
thought the last batch will be dis
! posed of between May 1st and 10th.

LII thc uniOn HaVe NOW duOpteu WOm-
an suffrage and that the Outlook
magazine recently sent staff cor
respondent to Colorado to investi-
gate its operations in that state.
The great point that will make the
debate Friday evening peculiarly in
teresting ls the fact that in Idaho,
from whence come the Idaho de-
baters, they have woman suffrage
and it is apparently great success.
Since the Idaho men have the wom-
ans side of the case they will un-
doubtedly make much of their own
state. The question as stated before
reads as follows:
Resolved, that Suffrage in State
and Municipal Elections Should be
Conferred Upon Women"
Idaho has the affirmative and
Whitman the negative. Another in
cident which will add interest to the
contest is the fact that Miss Marsh is
a citizen of Idaho and is opposed to
woman suffrage as it works in that
state.
In all probability the chairman OF
the debate will be woman, and an
effort will be made to arrange for
the seating of various woman's clubs
Of the city In various parts of the
chapel. The judges will be men.
The ladies may feel that will not be
giving them fair "deal' to their
side of the question, but they will be
compelled to trust 10 the Unborn
chiyalry Of American manhood to
render an unbiased decision on the
question.
| The team from Idaho are without
doubt the best they have ever sent
out. All are experienced debaters
and fine speakers.
| If Whitman wins this debate she
will be undlsputed champion of the
entire northwest.

Colonel Kirkman was injured last Sat
