Mckenzie River Work.

On the Mckenzie river. which is a
tributary of the Willamette river. our
prospects are very good which goes to
show that the extra work that we did
on the fishway over the falls of the
Willamette river at Oregon City last fall
has proven to be very servieeable. Last
year on this tributary stream, we sue
ceeded in collecting near 100000
chinook eggs; whereas, this year, as
near as we can estimate from the num-
ber of salmon in the pools without our
enclosures, the take of eggs will be in
the neighborhood Of 100000.

Santiam Operations Hindered.

On the Santiam river, which is also a
tributary of the Willamette river. we
have station this year, but from pres
ent indications, we will not fare near SO
well. caused principally by the obstruc-
tion that the Curtiss Lumber Company
has in across the river at Mill City,
which obstruction is some 25 miles be-
low our hatchery station. i was in
hopes that We would make as good a
collection of eggs on this stream as on
the Mckenzie river but now fear that
we will not and that the stream will be
of very little service to us until the
Curtiss Lumber Company provides a
good and easy passage way for salmon
through their dam. This matter will be
looked to and remedied before another
sea son.

FUN ENDS IN DEATH.
Thirteen Year Old Boy Shoots Little
Girl at Tacoma.

TACOMA, Dec. 27.-Death, swift and
terrible, abruptly ended the Christmas
merry making in the home of Frank
Thomas, on Lemons beach, when
Frank Benes. 10 years old, shot and
instantly killed Emma Thomas, aged
year. The shooting is believed to
have been accidental. The Benes lad
is a nephew of the Thomases and but
recently arrived from Germany
Don't Frank; please don't" Mrs.
Thomas and her friends heard little
Emma exclaim, and at the moment
came the deafening report of the gun.
The father of the child says the gun
was kept in the kitchen, but he is posi-
tive it was not loaded, and that the
boy must nave found the shells and
loaded the weapon. The boy, he says,
could have had no motive for shooting
the child.

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-Policeman
Harron when on post last night at the
corner of Ninety seventh street and
Third avenue heard a series of pistol
shots, and looking up the street, saw
a youth shooting in the air. He saw
as he ran that it was a blind lad whom
he knew well. AS soon as the boy
heard policeman was after him he
ran in the door of 1862 Third avenue,
up to the roof, and chased over the
roofs of three houses and hid in a dark
place between a chimney and a sky
light. Policeman Harron finally found
him and took him to the station house.

GERMAN ARMY IS A TERROR
Millions Of Men Kept in Finest
Fighting Trim.
CONSISTS OF -FOUR MILLION SOLDIERS
SIX MILLION MORE AS RESERVES
NOW WORLDS MOST EFFI-
GENT ORGANIZATION.
CONSISTS OF FOUR MILLION SOLDIERS

The German army of today is the
largest and most efficient fighting or
ganization that the world has ever
seen, and it has served as a model for
the armies of most other countries.
The Austrian army has been organ
lied on methods copied exactly from
the German system. The Japanese
army also took it's methods in organi-
zation as we'll as in strategy and tao
tcs from Germany and German Off
GERS. The Chinese army has now
adopted German methods. Nearly all
the smaller countries of Europe with
aspirations to military efficiency have
borrowed officers from the German
army to instruct their troops. The
Turkish army was so organized.
In the recent war the largest forces
met which have ever opposed one an
other in any conflict. The German
army, however, could put in the field a
times larger than the victorious Jap
times larger than the visctOriOus jap
anese army which gained the battle Of
Mukden. 1t consists of more than four
million soldiers. But in addition to
four million trained soldiers, Germany
could enroll six million more men
who, although not trained for service
in the fighting line, would nevertheless
form a valuable reserve for the pro-
lection of lines of communication and
such duties. A very large number of
these reserves have had at least some
military training, and in case of ne
cessity could also be employed in ac
tive service after a brief period of
drill and military exercise. Thus the
stupendous number of 100000 able
bodied men could be mustered under
the imperial banner of the German
empire, so that the statement that all
Germany is an armed camp is justi-
fed.

Hohen|ohe ku|cted Out Of Hun.
dreds Of Thousands Of Dollars
PARTISAN BANKER IS THE ACCUSED
ORDERS FOR PURCHASES OF
STOCK NOT CARRIED OUT
OPERATIONS WERE SHAM.

PARIS, Dec. 27.-M. Simioni de
F1eres, Paris banker, has been ar
rested as consequence of complaint
lodged against him some six months
ago by Prince Frederick Charles Won
Hohenlohe, nephew of the famous
thalter of Alsace-Lorraine.
Prince Frederick Charles Won Ho-
henlohe. who lives in the Avenue des
Champs Ulysses, was during the sum-
mer of last year flooded with circulars
urging him to buy Pekin syndicate
shares. These circulars were sent by
NJ de Fleres.
The prince at first threw them into
the waste paper basket, but the per-
sistency of de Fleres finally overcame
his better judgment, and he gave the
banker various orders. Within the
period of four months, however, these
operations were so disastrous that the
balance was nearly 100000 against
the prince.
Prince Won Hohenlohe settled the
difference, but soon arrived at the con-
viction that these operations were all
sham. and that de Fleres was aided
and abetted by an accomplish, acting
for him in London. The judge din
strution, M. Flory, instructed an &C
countant expert to look into the mat
ter, and it was in consequence of his
&ho& 10 orrncfn6
restaurant close by, M. Diximier, his
accomplice, who had returned from
London, was also taken in charge.
In giving his instructions to de
Fleres, the prince had stipulated that
his orders should be executed at Lon
don, and that the banker should act
merely as an intermediary. De Fleres
had, of course, arranged his accounts
and letters so this should appear to
be the case, but Williams &, French,
| Williams, Glover & Co.-the three
firms which were ostensibly acting for
the prince-proved to be merely mani
festations of M. de Fleres himself.
The operations had never been exc
cuted, the money had never left Par
is. This is proved by two letters from
Dixmier to de Fleres.
Prince Won Hohenlohe's eyes were
first opened ON learning, that de Fleres
had discounted one of his acceptances
for $4,000, and that others were cir
culating among brokers of doubtful
reputation.
The charges against the banker are
that the operations were fictitious,
that the three English firms to which
his (the prince's) orders were trans
mitted did not exist, that de Fleres
simply appropriated the first pay
ments and Unanswered to extort large
sums from the prince Under cover of
fluctuations which did not exist.
NJ de Fleres is an Italian, so years
of age, who founded bank in Rue de
la Banque with Prince Henri de Bro
glie Revel as a sleeping partner. He
is knight of the crown of Italy,
moves in circles of even the highest
aristocracy, and is a friend of the son
of the Marquis de Rudini. He lives
at the rate of about 100000 per an
mum; has or had, besides his Paris
residence, villas at Biarritz, Deauville
and Monte Carlo, with horses, car
riages and automobiles
