The salmon season began upon the
columbia river on May 1 and the run
of Royal Chinook salmon this spring
is reported to be very heavy. Some
system and much law and order has
now been introduced into these great
fisheries and their auxiliary canning
plants, and each year they realize be-
tween two and three millions of
dollars to Washington and Oregon.
Time was when the salmon crop
meant more to the Pacific Northwest
than the wheat, and two years ago as
the editor of The Herald walked
through one of the largest canneries
in Washington and watched the cords
and cords of these succulent fish being
cut up and placed in the various sized
packages of commerce it looked as
though they might yet outbalance the
agricultural produtcs. but the fish
industry is not what it once was and
its greatest activity has been trans
feIred farther north into Alask an
waters. The Oregon salmon now has
to take back seat for the Oregon
apple and pear.

There may or may not be some con-
nection between the frequent neglo
lynchings in the south and the fact
that in one county-that of jefferson
in Alabama, thirty four murders
were committed during the first 20
days in April. while in Nashville,
Tenn, ten murders have been reported
since January /. During past years
life has been lightly held in many
localities in the south. with their
vendettas and family feuds as we'll as
their negro lynchings and an occa-
sional burning of some poor wretch at
the stake. They have made holiday
affairs out OF some of these burnings,
and while some of the best people of
the community laughed and danced
around it, the poor devil of victim
would beg and pray to die. One scene
like this would last lifetime in its
influence upon the neIghborhood in
which it was enacted. Things grow
on that which they feed upon. That
which the best people of community
can do with safety and practically
without reproach, the individuals of
that community are apt to be more
inclined to do also.

Curiously enough. Kansas. which
is the largest wheat producer among
the states, is suffering more from the
prevalent worlds scarcity than almost
any of the non producing states. The
Topeka Capital reports that Kansas
millers in the interior of the state
cannot get wheat in their sections
and are importing it from Kansas
City and other more distant markets,
to supply the demand upon them, and
they are paying very high prices for
it-higher than the prices at which it
was sold by Kansas farmers. The
situation is said to be wholly un-
precedented.

Observed or Heard.

Burlington Hawk-Eye: AS the great
enemy OF all nature takers is out OF
the country and where it is difficult
to reach him, Andy Fialkowski timidly
submits the following:
was talking to my friend, Jake
Wertz, about grasshoppers in 1874.
Yes said Jake, as he picked up a
Il was here in the grasshopper year.
They were thick, all right. There
wasn't many railroads at that time.
Well, those grasshoppers sure were
hungry. They just naturally ate up all
the ties for miles and miles. The ties
were tolerably hard and dry on ac-
count of the fact that there hadn't
been any rain for several years, but
the hoppers didn't back off on that ac-
count. When their teeth got dull from
working on the ties, they would go
over and whet them on the rails. The
noise of those hoppers whetting their
cutters on the railroad iron was so
great that it drowned the noise of the
approaching train. / was working
about two miles from the railroad
when they first lit down and COM
menced to chew up the ties. | heard
a noise like the filing of a hundred
buzz saws and couldn't make out for
the life of me what it meant, so I
sauntered over toward the railroad.
and by gum, when got there l found
Z that 1t was the noise of those grass
hoppers whetting their teeth that had
been dulled by the hard. dry ties.
Eat! Why, Andy, those hoppers would
eat anything tackled old dry Russian
thistles, just bit off the stickers and
swallowed them. I saw a dead hopper
that had tried that and got the worst
of it. The stickers were sticking out
all over his body. The chickens GER
tainly did have quite a time. l had
some hens that ate so many grass
hoppers they got so they wouldn't
cluck any, more. They would go
around rubbing their wings over their
