the special engineer selected by the
Oregon Electric company came be-
fore the council and stated that n
they wished to make permanent i'm
provements the grade established
by the city was correct, but that II
was not necessary to make perma-
nent improvements at this time:
that by hauling In about 2500 yards
of gravel as temporary work was all
that was needed at this time, bu.
later when permanent work was to
be done the railway could be
brought to grade.
The people OF north Salem as soon
as they came into the city, organ
lied an Improvement league. Know
ing the difficulty that old Salem
had with her grades the league has
worked to have a common grade es@
tabhshed that would be permanent
and as fast as we improved make
our improvements permanent, and II
looks, TO the writer, at least. that Il
is good deal of gall for a resident
of another city to come before a
council of intelligent men and tell
them that they have established a
correct grade but that they do not
want permanent improvements at
this time; that any old temporary
makeshift is good enough for Sa-
lem. The grade established by the
city is not a grade for Broadway
alone, but for all of North Salem.
and has cost the city more than one
thousand dollars.
Now shall the city lose all this
work and establish temporary
grade for the railway or shall they
look after the interest of the city?

tai out of the fact that the former
mayor gave them the present grade,

was completely vindicated by Mr..
Brown, the engineer that Mr.. Tai
bot brought to Salem to examine

Cane sugar was made by the
Chinese at a very remote epoch. In
the west II was known. much later.
Pliny, Varro and Lucan, among the
Romans, at the beginning of our era,
just make mention OF Il, and It was
then known under the names of
Indian SALT Asian honey, and
Arabian or Indian juice In 1890
the Crusaders, on their arrival In
Syria, found cane suger there for the
first time, and Il became part of the
soldiers ration. In the following
centuries sugar cane was introduced
into the island of Cyprus into the
Nile Delta, on the north shore OF
Africa as far as Gibraltar, into Sic
lily, and into the kingdom of Naples;
then into Spain in the fifteenth CEN
tury and thence into Madeira and
the Canaries. In 1644 the French
took 1t to Guadeloupe and shortly
afterward to Martinique and Louis
lana. The Portuguese introduced Il
into Brazil, and the English into

According to the Revlsta Scientlf-

IRRIGATING DTTCHEs
KILL MANY. FISH
(Baker Democrat.)


More fish are probably destroy ID
In irrigation bitches than are caught
by hook and line. This Is the opin-
ion of fishermen who have investi-
gated the subject and given 1t intel
iigent thought.
In Baker county instances are
cited where water has been shut of
from a ditch and thousands OF
trout ha We been left high and dry
to rot on top OF the ground. The
larger the Itch the greater has been
the slaughter.
Moreover. II the dltches are never
allowe dto go dry, fish that once en-
ter them from the river never get
back again. There is a law requir-
ing the heads of irrigation bitches to
be covered with n screen. and this
law should be enforced. II II Is en-
forced then the stocking OF our In
land streams with fish will be doubIy
effective.
That irrigation bitches in other
states destroy multltudes of fish Is
a we'll known fact. For instance the
following item from a recent issue
OF the Seattle Post-IntellIgencer is
only one case among many:
Game Warden Thomas Mullen OF
Yakima county has called the sports
men OF this district together to de-
wise some way to protect the game
Ash which are now being slaughtered
by the thousands by being dumped
on the orchards and alfalfa fields
from the irrigation bitches.
"The trout and salmon enter the
irrigation bitches and then turn OF
into the laterals. finally ending thei
life in the grass where the wate
has played out and left them. At
