Game Wardens Patrolling River.

Friday Frank q. Brown, chief dep
uty fish warden and ". A. Mack and
Ole j. Setten, deputy fish and game
wardens, stopped at Hood River with
their patrol boat, and reported max
ing several catches of nets, besides
making arrests for violation of the fish
laws. They also made complaint
against one of the lumber companies
for allowing sawdust to be run in the
river. Mr.. Brown said that they
would be very active from now On
along the river, and would cause he
arrest of every one caught violating
the law, regardless of who the party
was. They intend to make an inspec-
tion of Hood River very soon, and it
will be we'll tor every one who is not
complying with the fish law In every
respect to be ready for the inspection
Of the officials.

Forest Receipts.

The total receipts from business on
the national forests for the fiscal year
ending June 30 we're 81, ,529, 9l7. 93,
more than double the receipts for the
preceding year, and the sum which
goes to the states and territories by
law, to swell the county school and
road funds where national forests al
;ocated-l0 per cent of the totals
also more than doubled, reaching
sl52, 99l.79
There is food for thought in the
fact that, except for Arizona, Cali
fornia and Utah the states which de-
rive the greatest benefit from the re-
turns of forest management are Colo
RADIO, Idaho, Nominal, Oregon, Wash
ington and Wyoming, the six states
in which congress last winter forbade
the addition of new national forests
except by its own act. AS compared
with the figures for last year, Mon
tana's share, $50 655. AZ, is this year
three times larger; Idaho's $40, ,655. AZ
almost three times; Oregon's Sl3,
$50. 80, almost twice; Wyoming's SIG,
600. 50, almost two and a half times.

Good Prices For Annles.

"An off year for apples" Is the 10
port that comes from fruit districts
all around aud according to Fruit
Commissioners Weber may be said to
he the condition in the vicinity of
The Dalles which, although it does
not make a speciality OF apples yet has
many fine apple orchards.
AT Hood River Mr. Weber said that
while the quality Of the apple will
probably be above the average, the
yield will be but 80 to GO per cent.
and at Mosier the crop will be matol-
tally under the average. With a full
yield Hood River should send out 300
cars but 1t Is not believed there will
be more than l75 to 100 cars or at
most la, 600 boxes, They are however
expecting especially high prices AS

the best varieties are grown.
From Il. .. Bruce, whose orchard
is five miles up Mill creek and from
whom Davidson Bros. uf Hood River
secured 20 boxes of SpitZenbergs and
Newtowns last year 1t is learned that
representative of that company has
recently visited him and Is extremely
desirous of again purchasing his
fruit. Last year Mr.. Brace received
81 box; this year they have made
him an offer of 81. % tor every box
containing l2S apples or under and a

is an advantage in disposing Of them
to this company as the fruit is of
hands in weeks time, while, though
he might secure higher price by
selling them in smaller lots there is
the disadvantage in handling them,

like 1900 boxes this year.

son last year, he says, is responsible
for the decrease Ia the yield this
year, as apples put forth their spurs a
season in advance.
Mr.. McReynolds, Of Thompson g ad
dition and other growers are making
like reports concerning the crop this
year.
An advantage to the locality where
fruit Is raised comes from the new
law which provides that no matter
where the fruit is shipped from the

the fruit is grown must be placed on

size of the pack. The shipper may

KILLED HIS Wife
Committed suicide

A sensation was created here FIJI
day morning when it was learned that
Harry q. Liebe, a jeweleI of The
Dalles, had shot his wife at Portland
and also himself. The murdered
woman is daughter OF Mrs. Chas,
Pittman, who lives near Husum, Wash.
Both parties are well known here.
The tragedy took place at the home
of Mrs. Sturdevant, at Portlend, and
was the elimination of separation
between Mr.. and MIS-. Liebe, on ac.
count of the dissolute habits OF the
murderer. Mrs. Liebe had left her
husband, but agreed to live with him
again on account of their child, IL he
would stop drinking for year. Re-
Gently he had been brooding over his
troubles, making sevela al efforts to see
his wife, who had obtained situa-
ton in Portland, and the tragedy was
the result of an interview with her at
the Sturdevant home.
Coroner Finley took charge OF the
bodies soon after the double crime
had been committed. No inquest was
held. The parents Of the dead man
reside at The Dalles, are old and fee
BILE and the shock of the tragedy wss
so great that it is feared they may not
survive. J. W. Smith, friend OF the
Liebe FAMILY, arrived from The Dalles
to take charge OF the body of Liebe.
The body of Mrs. Liebe was taken
charge of by her mother. Both bodies
we're buried side by side in Portland.
Harry 9. Liebe was 30 years old and
his wife 26.
This crime adds another to the long
list IT tragedies in the Liebe family.
Harry's uncle, Theodore Liebe, was
shot but not fatally wounded by a
nephew In Portland in the winter of
1893. Another uncle, Alfred Liebe,
committed suicide at The Dalles sew
eral years ago aud Harry's brother,
Alfred, killed himself in San Francis
90 in 1905. ChHrles Pittman, father
of Mrs. Liebe, was drowned in the
Willamette about two years ago.
Harry Liebe was in Hood River the
Monday before the tragedy, stopping
at the Mt. Hood hotel. and expected
to meet his wife here. She was at that
time at the home of her mother near
Husum. but had gone through here
before Liebe got here. lie appeared
very much disappointed at not seeing
her here, and it is very likely that
the tragedy would have happened in
Hood River had they met here.

SHORTEST SALMON
PACK In HISTORY

"Ihe Salmon pack of 1907 on Puget
Sound, Alaska, the Columbia river,
in my opinion will be the shortest In
the history of the industry" said E.
b. Dem, In the Beliingham ReveiIle.
Salmon are scarce. Cannerymen OF
Belingham, Puget Sound. Alaska and
the Columbia river, are disappointed,
and there is no sign of the lattor part
of the season being any better. Indi-
cations are now, that the run of sock
eyes is at itb zenith, although it is ad
mitted by experienced fishermen that
the reverse may be the case before the
season actually closes.
Few sockeyes are reaching the traps
but local fishermen agree that there Is
yet ample time for the fish to arrive
in such quantities as to swamp the
canneries, although none of the
managers of the Sound canneries an.
ticipate such good fortune.
About 20, 600 fish we're received at
the Pacific America Fisheries cannery
last night, one half OF which we're
sockeyes and the :ther halt humpEack

river and Puget Sound show de-
crease of 80 pei cent in the pack as
compared with last year, which was
an average year in the salmon indus
try.
Last year the Pacific American
Fisheries cannery packed a total of
Is, 900 cases of salmon and If the pres
ent conditions are a criterion 30, 200
cases will be considered good.
1t is conce led by fishermen that the
lish are headed for the Fraser river,
but are taking new route. The con
ditions of the tides and winds may
-werve the schools of fish in differ.
ent direction and cause them to miss
the traps, but the idea advanced that
the fab are seeking new spawning
grounds is secuted. 1t Is said to be
only a question of mans ability to
learn where to place the traps in the
most advantageous manner.
