In sharp contrast to the results of
last season. when the product of the
fish hatcheries of the state was any
thing but satisfactory, due to adverse
condition of the streams. Master Fish
Warden Van Dusen gives very en-
couraging reports of the progress of
the several hatcheries, all of which
are yielding splendid results, both in
the take of eggs and the Matching of
young fry, says the Salem Statesman.
The contract has been awarded for
the building of the new Wallowa
La Grande. and the work of its con-
struction will be begun at the earliest
possible date. in order to have il COM
plete and ready for the fall hatchery
work. The total appropriation made
for this work, including a station on
the Mckenzie river. was $4,000. and
it will require about 5000 of this
amount to build and equip the Wal
Iowa hatchery station, leaving the bal
ance for the Mckenzie river hatchery.
The board of fish commissioners,
which was in session yesterday after
noon, discussed the matter of con-
structing another and better hatch
cry station on the South Coos river
during the present season. To that
end, a building site has been pur-
chased from u. F. Siglin for a con-
sideration of 5000. An improvised
station, or shed is already in
existence at this point, but it
Is desired to supplant this shed with
another of from 100000 to 15.-
100000 eggs capacity per season,
which will place it upon an equal ba-
sis with the other hatcheries of the
state. The total receipts of the Of
flee of the master fish warden for the
month of May, including licenses,
fines, etc, were $2s50.6O, and the dis
bursements aggregated $192.50. In
discussing the hatchery operations,
Mr.. Van Dusen said:
"At the Salmon River hatchery
the work of collecting steelhead sal
mon eggs began March 81 and lasted
until April 80. The result of the
seasons work shows that 1906 800
eggs were taken from 365 female sal
mon.
with the silverside eggs that were
collected at this hatchery last fall
and winter, 1,1SS,11o fry were sue
cessfully raised and turned out into
the Salmon river in the immediate
vicinity OF the hatchery. The first
plant was made April and the last
May 16.

S. P. Gasoline Motor Car.


The new gasoline motor car that

Milwaukee, Wis, June 19.-Esti-
mates of the number OF visitors in
Milwaukee today for the biennial ma
tional convention OF the Modern
Woodmen of America range from 40,-
600 10 $4,000. During the last As
hours trains have rolled into the city
at brief intervals, each bringing Its
quota of delegates to the head camp
meeting TO the convention of Fores-
tiers. camp clerks and others. Prac-
tically every state and territory in the
Union is represented among the Wis
itors.
The business section of the city pre-
sents a holiday appearance in honor
of the occasion. Public buildings,
hotels and many business houses are
swathed in bunting with the various
woodmen insignia as the center fig
ures of the decorations. Prominent
street intersections are spanned by
magnificent arches which blaze with
hundreds of colored electric lights at
night.
Though the meeting of the head
camp, which is the chief feature of
the convention, does not formally
open until tomorrow morning, there
was much to keep the visitors busy to-
day. The camp of the uniformed rank
at Lake Park was thrown open this
morning. Here are quartered scores
of uniformed teams which are to par
ticipate in the grand parade, the prize
drills and other spectacular features
of the week. The meeting of the camp
clerks which opened Saturday, was
concluded this evening.
The Royal Neighbors of America,
the ladies' auxiliary to the Woodmen.
meets here during the week and hun
dreds of delegates are on hand to at
tend. The society is now in its 14th
year, and has a membership running
into the thousands and extending
throughout the country.
Several important questions will
come up for consideration and action
at the present meeting of the head
camp. The law committee will recon-
mend the admission to the society S
jurisdiction of portions of Texas, Ar
kansas and Tennessee. The recon-
mendation will also be made to admit
all persons to membership not direct
ly engaged in the manufacture or sale
of liquor as a beverage. Under the
bylaws of the society at present, no
person engaged in the manufacture
or sale of malt. spurious or vinous
liquors to be used as beverage, In
the capacity of proprietor, stockhold-
er, agent or servant" can become a
member of the society, and If he is
a member and engages in the liquor
traffic in any of these capacities, his
membership at once becomes void
The law committee proposes to modi-
fy these restrictions so as to make
them conform in general to those i'm
posed by most life insurance compa-
MES. The moral hazard is to be ig-
nored and the purely physical ha1-
ard recognized.

SOCIALIST NOT DISMISSED.
Gov. Mead of Washington Changes
His Attitude.

That Prof. J. Allen Smith, head of
at the University of Washington, is
to be permitted to continue a mem
Der of the faculty of that institution,
despite the complaints made against
him in some quarters regarding his
socialistic teachings in his depart
ment, is the natural inference to be
drawn from the action of the board of
regents at its meetings Friday after
noon and Friday night, says the Seat
tie News.
The board considered the matter
of faculty changes and practically
made up the faculty for the ensuing
year. In all of the discussions at
both meetings there was no word
spoken in reference to the case of
Professor Smith, either for or against
asking for his resignation. From this
fact the assumption is that none of
the new members of the board recent
ly appointed by Gov Mead has taken
It upon himself to assume the atti-
tude expressed by the governor in
his inaugural address to the legisla-
ture last winter.
The refernce of the governor to the
matter was general in ITS character
and was to the effect that during his
administration it was his intention
that no person who believed or taught
that the underlying principles of our
government are not sound and right
should be retained in the faculty of
state educational institutions as IN
structors for the young of the state.
After making this statement the
governor was asked wheher 1t had
special reference to the case of Prof
Smith, and he intimated very strong
ly that 1t had. Later, in response to
a letter from some of the leading stu
dents of the university, interested in
the retention of Prof. Smith, the gov
ernor stated in effect that he had
been misinformed as to Prof. Smiths
political beliefs and economic teach
ings.
From that letter it was assumed
that the governor had changed his
mind in the premises, and this action
of the board of regents is further in
dication that such is the case and that
Prof. Smith will be retained.

OVER 5000 LEwIsEs.
Relatives OF the Explorer VIII Meet
In Portland on August ~.

Relatives OF the Explorer Will Meet
In Portland on August ~.
The local Lewis society is sending
invitations to about 10000 persons of
the name of Lewis, throughout the
United States, to attend the Lewis and
Clark exposition on Lewis Family Day,
August IL. Carl A. Lewis, of Gull
ford, Conn, editor of "Lewisiana,"
the official organ of the Lewis soci-
cites of America, has furnished the
roster of the Lewises.
Many of the Lewises who have sig
nified their intention to attend the
convention are more or less remotely
connected with the family of Meri-
wether Lewis, one of the explorers in
whose honor the exposition is named.
An amusing circumstance is the
fact that a dozen or more persons
have written to the local Lewises and
to the exposition authorities, claiming
to be lineal descendants of Meriweth-
er Lewis, who died a bachelor at the
early age Of 35 years.
The manner of Meriwether Lewis
death remains a mystery. He was on
his way from st. Louis to Washing
ton, on official business, being COVER
nor of the great Louisiana territory.
travelling overland, as that was long
before the era of railroads In the
wilds of Tennessee he stopped at a
wayside inn, where during the night
he received a bullet wound which
resulted fatally the next morning.
President Thomas Jefferson was OF
the opinion that Governor Lewis COM
mitted suicide, and gave as his reason
for that belief the fact that Lewis
was subject to fits of melancholia,
a family inheritance; but there were
many who believed that he was mur-
dered.
The famous explorer was buried in
the woods near the house where he
died, and many years afterward the
state of Tennessee erected a monu-
ment over the grave.
The state also created a county,
named Lewis in which the explorer
is buried. Recently there has been
a suggestion that the remains OF
Meriwether Lewis be disinterred and
brought 10 Portland, for final inter-
ment in the Portland City Park, a
beautiful spot overlooking the city
and the wonderful country which he
with his friend, Captain William
Clark, was the first to explore.
Among the relatives of Meriwethel
Lewis on the Pacific coast are John
l. Lewis. of Biggs. Cal, and George
M. Lewis, of Gridley. Cal. Both mer
are about 70 years of age. ..

E. s. Willard's Tour.
Refusal to Postpone 1t for Season in
London.

Z. S. Willard is now busiiy employed
in preparations for his American tour,
which will begin in Montreal. October
2. The effort to induce him to remain
in London and begin a season at the
SALISBURY Theater in September was
unsuccessful. because Mr.. Willard did
not think it advisable, even had it been
possible TO make an alteration in his
American plans. He was interested in
the proposition to appear at the Shafts
bury in a new play by Henry Arthur
Jones, for the reason that II was at
that theater years ago that he and Mr..
Jones came together for the production
OF 'The Mddleman' and Judah" and
he would have been pleased, under right
conditions. to try what the combination
might develop again. But the more he
considered the matter the more decided
he became that he could not in fairness
to others ask to postpone his American
temperance. and without coming TO a
reading of the play he finally declined
the proposition. 1t is possible that in ad-
dition 10 THE Fools Revenge Mr.. Will
lard may have a new character portray
ed to please his audiences.
In announcements Of his reappearances
in this country. Mr.. Willard is almost
invariably referred TO as ''the English
actor" An English actor he certainly
is: but it will surprise and interest many
of his Americans admirers to know that
Mr.. Willard has more near or far rela-
tiyes of his own name in this country
than in England. Ancestors Of his were
among the early settlers Of New Eng
land. for he comes oc the fine old Puri-
tan stock that sought in the wilderness
of the New World the freedom denied
them ut home
One of these ancestors was Solomon
Willard. who built the first cabin that
served as the foundation of Concord. A
few years ago a large New England
party was given IN the actors honor, and
every person Of the numerous gathering
was a Willard born. Mr. Willard has.
therefore. much IN addition 10 profess
sional preference TO attach him to this
country.
