PROTECT THE FISH
Oregon Hatcheries Compelled to Close
for Want of Spawn Caused By
Fresh Water Fishing.

The state OF Oregon has thousands
OF dollars invested in fish hatcheries,
some Of which are now closed down
for want of salmon from which to
obtain spawn. 1t is evident that fish
wheels. operated by greedy cannery-
men, in too close proximity to the
fresh water spawning beds in the Co.
lumbia river, is the direct cause of
this. Therefore, it would seem that
the state should have more stringent
laws to regulate the taking of salmon
by the fish-wheel process. or better
still. abolish the fish wheel altogether.
The home of the salmon is in the
ocean. There he is found in prime
condition for food. He enters fresh
water only for natures purpose of
spawning and propogating his species,
After lodging the meshes of the gill
net in the lower river. to reach his
spawning grounds he must run the
gauntlet of fish wheels, which are To-
Gated in the narrow channels of the
upper Columbia among the cascades
in the river.
By the time he has reached here he
is sluggish and as marketable food
product he is vastly inferior to his
standard when be left salt water, and
he is easily taken prisoner in the le-
volving shelves of the fish wheel,
which are directly in his path to the
spawning beds.
Oregon protects water fowl on its
breeding ground. Why not give the
same protection to the fish industry?
1t would appear that the proper and
only. Legitimate field for commercial
fishing is within the vast domain of
tide water and not in the narrow con-
fines CT river, a narrow and torturons
trail that nature aloue prompts the
fish to ascend.
Aside from commercial point of the
salmon industry which should be of
vital interest to those engaged in it.
every lover of the rod should stop and
consider that large run Of salmon in
fresh water streams means an abund-
anoe of trout. To protect fish, vote
for bill 332 and against bill 319.

ONE OF THE BEST
Everything Conspired to Make the
CaledOnian Picnic the Best
Ever Held in This City.

The ninth annual gathering of the
Umatilla County Caledonian passed
into history Saturday, as boing one of
the most successful events of the kind
ever held in Athena,
Perfect weather aided materially to
the success of the occasion. and the
result was that large crowds were in
attendance both days of the picnic.
The details of conducting the picnic
fell principally on the shoulders of four
men, j. D. Plamondon, president of
the society; 81. A. Barrett. secretary !;
A. B. McEwen and w. E. Potts. To
the undivided attention and hard work
on the part of these men. nothing was
left undone that would add to the con-
venience and entertainment of all who
attended the big picnic.
The program was replete with char
aoteristics dear to the Scottish heart.
Song and lore of old Scotland. blended
with the thrilling notes of the bagpipe,
brought to memory many an incident
OF Highland deed and glory. The
Portland participants in the program
acquitted themselvs with their usual
cleverness and were encored to the
echo.
Miss Stanton, Miss Lytle and Prof.
Epping, accomplished vocalists, pleas
ingly rendered old Scotch ballads; the
Pottage sisters, Miss Best and Masters
DARCY and King. were splendid in
their Scotch dances. Mr.. Jock Cole
man, monologue and character artist,
was suberb and Frank Hennessy proved
himself to be clever entertainer.
Weston and local talent appeared in
several numbers on the program. Pi-
pers Mcdonald and Mckinley, in their
bagpipe selections captivated the
crowds.
The concert given at the opera
house Friday evening. was one of the
leading features of enter tainment and
was largely attended. Saturday after

twirling fraternity and won his game
with spanking bingle which broke
the tie by sending in the winning run
in the eleventh.
The matinee was tied up 4-and in the

Weston regrets to learn that Prof.
Geo. A. PEBBLES of Salem. Oregon. has
been obliged to resign from school
work on account of failing health.
For 80 years Prof. PEBBLES has held
prominent positions in the educational
field of Oregon and his loss from the

years he was connected with the nor

You have gone from the hearts that
loved you
From the friends that held you dear
And your empty chair and vacant
place
So sadly greet US here.
When the golden glory of summer
Was flooding the western sky,
Aud all the earth was fair and sweet
1t was hard to see you die.
We tried to keep you with US
But God had called you home,
Aud you turned from the clasp OF our
loving hands
And answered Lord / Gomez
We know you are safe in his kingdom
For all the eternal years,
But we can not see your glory
Tor our eyes are filed with tears.
nd our hearts are sick from grieving
Asia memory we recall
Your kindly voice and pleasant smile
And your loving thought for all.
And oh for your place In heaven
Ask God in his grace TO find
A message of peace for our saddened
hearts
In the home you have left behind.

The POStmaSterS.

The annual meeting of the Kansas
postmasters was held In Chanute
Monday aud Tuesday. Quite agoodly
number were present and they were
rather a likely looking set of men.
They spent three half day sessions
discussing the good of the order and
listening to speeches on various
topics.
Their business closed Tuesday night
with banquet at the Oriental hotel.
The banquet was given by Hardesty
of the Oriental. That is equivalent
TO saying that 10 was just right.
About 100 plates were served. The
visiting postmasters seemed to enjoy
the occasion. And the outsiders who
were favored with invitations relished
their favors. The speeches were in
terestlng and the music fine.
The postmasters left Chanute, feel
log that they had been royalty
treated.
