AS every n knows, well seasoned
lumber is the only lumber to use in
building. 1t is also a fact that not
every man is a judge of lumber. If you
are not well versed, therefore, in the
tricks of the trade, it is as necessary
for you to use care in selecting your
dealer as in selecting your goods.
Buy lumber only of a dealer
who has a reputation for honesty.

OREGON NEWS OF INTEREST

Clacksmas pcople CsH Situation to
Attention Of nepreseniatixe.

Attention Of representative.
Oregon City--CompIaint Of fragrant
violations Of the salmon fshing Law are
being made by interested Clackamas
county people TO Represenlative-elect
O. @. Huntley, Of this city, who, as .
member Of the state legislature, will
seek 70 hhv5 corrected existing abuses
and their repltielpn In the future.
These complaints have been made to
Fish Warden Van Dusen, who has de-
clined to remedy the situation beacuse
Of lack Of funds.
Fishing 10 by law prohibited within
two miles OF any hatchery, but this
law IL being notoriously transgressed.
There is made . provision in the same
law for the patroling Of the Clackamas
river within the restricted districts
about hatchery, but fishing for salm-
on with nets is being openly carried on
within ons-half mile Of the government
hatchery near this city, with the result
that the take Of salmon at the hatchery
wall not exceed one-thiid that Of last
year. At this time laet year, 1O,lS0,.
600 eggt had been secured for the gov.
ernment hatchery, while but 5000, 900
eggs have been taken this year. OF
this seasons's taken Superintendent
Wallick reports more than 1000, 900
eggs have been taken during the past
ten days.
Much indignation exists among the
people Of Oregon City with present
conditions, and local fishermen are
known to be fishing in violation Of the
law for the reason that nothing has
been done to regulate the practice at
other places. Oregon City people view
the situation as one Of great importance
to the industry itself, and question
whether or not the government in its
efforts to promote the propagation of
this fab will not be discouraged bv the
lack Of interest and the failure Of the
state authorities TO provide the needed
protection by enforcing the statutes as
they are now framed.

regarding the eonvening Of The Hague

other powers are being ascertained
through the Russian representatives
abroad. While there is no reason ia
believe that Russia can agree to par

there is every indication that she will
not only not resent the proposas, but
that her reply will be- of cordial
nature.

Lamsdorff and Charge d'Affaires Eddy.
Of the American embassy, the former
spoke feelingly Of Ruasia's great inter-
est in the work and aims Of the peace
confeien . initiated BY Emperor Nich-

that it had been Russia's Intention,
had not the war intervened, herself to
invite the powers TO second confer

however, Count Lamsdorff explained, It
was great difficulty to fruitful die ].

which might affect the activity Of the

the meeting were: B. G. Patterson, oi

attendance will continue to increase
during the remainder Of the week. The

row afternoon when the final degrees Of
the order are to be conferred.

Wis. Governor PaFdee Of California,
has sent an urgent invitation for the
National grange to meet somewhere In

probable that his invitation will find
favor with the delegates, a. the cost Of
coming to the Pacific coast is about
vs. 900 more than II would be Tor the
grange to be held in an eastern city.
The place for holding the next session
will not be decided upon until some
time next week. Yesterdays session
was principally devoted to addresses
by National officers and reports from
state masters. The list Of standing
committees and order Of business have
been printed in pamphlet form for con-
venience Of the delegates; the hall has
been partially rearranged and Gres are
kept burning all night long, 90 that
the hall is more comfortable than it
was on Wednesday.
Fruit was distributed yesterday to all
the visitors, and there is now q cheer
full air pervading among all present, as
they are becoming better acquainted.
The most important address yesterday
was that Of the worthy overseer, 7. c.
Atkinson, Of West Virginia, second
officer Of the order.
The board of regents of the Oregon
Agricultural college invited the dele
gates to visit the college at Corvallis
during the meeting. The invitation

Mr.. CLANCY will purchase 20 horse

He prefers gasoline engine, as often
wells are bored many miles from 6
