| SALEM, Or, March "a. = Through
an error in the preparation Of notice
by publication Of the action Of the
board Of fish commissioners in CIDER
ing an extension of the closed season
for catching salmon in the Willamette
and Clackamas rivers from April Is to
May /, the commission has decided
not to attempt to enforce its order,
and the fishermen Of those streams
will be permitted TO ply their trade to
their hearts content this year. The
same will be true regarding the fish
ing in all other tributary streams to
the Columbia river which the COM
mission ordered closed during the
period above mentioned.
The question was brought before
the FISH commission by the protest Of
the fishermen Of the Willamette and
Clackamas rivers. They said the com-
mission went outside its legal juris-
diction in making the ruling, which
was considered a discrimination. They
added that the proposed extension of
the closed season would depsive the
fishermen of the best part of the sea-
sons catch. The fishermen were rep
resented before the commission by
Attorneys J. U. Campbell and ]. E.
Hedges. of Oregon City. Ordering
the Willamette and Clackamas rivers
closed to fishing from April is to
May was in order to make the
closed season conform to that in force
on the Columbia river
Under the present fish laws of the
state, the Willamette and Clackamas
rivers are closed to salmon fishing
from March | to April Is, and from
June IS to November and, under
the act adopted by the last session Of
the Legislature, which was the com
promise act agreed upoR between the
Legislatures Of Washington and Ore
gon, the closed seasons on the Colum-
bia are from March 1 to May and
from August rs to September 10, with
24-hour Sunday closing each week
during the open season. The fisher
nen of the Willamette and Clacka-
mas Rivers represented that the
period between April Is and June Is
was the most profitable period for
them in taking salmon, because the
high water Of the Willamette, which
comes annually before or about thes
latter date, prevents then from oper-
lting their wheels and giIlnets, and
10 close the streams from April Is to
May /, as proposed, would put them
out Of business.

THE SALT OF IT

WASHINGTON, March 24,-Pres,
ident Taft, BY executive order, has
changed the spelling Of the LaSalle
National Forest in Southeastern Utah
to LaSal, to conform to the local ap-
plication of the name to the Salt
Mountains, called by the Spanish ia
Sap, evidently with reference to the
salt deposits found in the region.
Formerly the spelling Of the name Of
this forest was through misunder-
standing, made to conform with the
name of LaSalle, the French explorer.

Her beautiful face was without a
