SALMON ARE. RUNNING IN
-. THE WESTERN RIVERS
Washington Authorities Have Trouble
With Fishermen Who Violate State
Laws-l0, 900 Fishing.

Spokane, WASH, May 1O.-Ten
thousand men with $4,000, 900
worth of equipment are working at
various points along the Columbia,
Willamette and Clackamas rivers in
Washington and Oregon, where the
salmon season opened on May L.
Fishermen returning to Spokane
report that not in 20 years has there
been such a run of fish as this year,
which means that the 1910 pack will
be the largest in the history of the
industry. ~ ,.z-
The opening of the season
marks the end of a bitter fight be-
tween the authorities of Oregon
and the fishermen, in which Master
Fish Warden McAllister was the
victor. He has dispatched two
boats to patrol the streams in that
state, and it is given out that
arrests will follow any violations
of the law, which provides that
fishing must cease at 6 o'clock
every Saturday evening and not
resume until 6 o'clock the follow
ing Sunday evening.
The laws OF the state do not
cover the Willamette and Clacka-
mas rivers, but they were closed
to fishermen from March to May
I, to keep faith with the fish
authorities of the state of Wash
ington.

the local G. A. r. post waited on
the city council last evening and
requested a $50 appropriation to use

There are 301 members of the
house In the Sixty-frst congress. The
Republicans have 217 members and
the Democrats s172. Taking these
three special elections as a basis for
estimate the question is how many
districts Will the Republicans carry in
1910 and how many will be carried by
the Democrats. It is a question in
which every student OF politics is
deeply interested at this time.
In the states of Massachusetts,.
Maine, Vermont, Rhode Island, Con-
nscticut and New York only nine con-
gressnlen were elected by more than
10000 majority in 1908.
"In the following group Of eight
states-Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan,
Minnesota, Montana. Missouri and Ne
braska-the election results of 1908
show only twelve Republican con-
.gressmen elected by over 10000 ma
jority Take North Dakota, Oklaho-
ma, Oregon South Dakota, Tennessee,
Utah, Washington. West Virginia and
Wyoming, and only nine Republican
congressman had over 10000 majority
two years ago.
The biggest majorities received by
any Ohio representative in 1908 were
received by Thomas nineteenth dis
trict), 1858; Longworth Cincinnati
district), 1920; Cassidy cleveland
district), 1851, and Taylor columbus
distriot), 500:
No Republicans From Indiana.
I'm Indiana Judge Crumpacker
(Tenth district) had the largest Re
publican majority in that state, 6,212.
Barnard Sixth district) the only other
Republican representative from the
state, was successful by the skin of
his teeth, receiving a majority of LAS
out of $4,000 votes cast. The other
nine representatives from Indiana are
Democratic.
Tn Illinois, Mann of the Chicago dis
trict, Foss, Fuller, Lowden, SAapp and
Lunden had majorities ranging over
1900. No other Republican in the
state received over 5000 plurality.
Take Pennsylvania. with thirty-two
congressional districts, only eight dis
tricts show majorities of over $4,000.
In New York, with its thirty-seven dis
tricts, only three have over 10000 Re-
publican pluralities.
While General Sherwood would
make no prediction as to what would
actually be the result of the November
elections, he said: LET every opti-
mistic and pessimistic prophet of our
political destiny take his consolation
or coincidence from the figures have
quoted. Figures do not lie."

State Game & Fish Commission Plants
Large Amount Of Pike in
This Vicinity.
OUT OF 200 CANS OF MlNNOWS
IS ARE GIVEN TO BENlDJI
Fishermen Cautioned About Catching
Small Pike and Bass.-Bradley
Compliments City.

BemlQ)l was favored with % cans
Of healthy young pike by the state
game and fish commission last night
The lot. which was the largest ever
given to this part of the state, wa!
distributed by Bemidji launch
owners at different places on Lake
Bemidji, including the vicinities o.
Diamond and Second points.
The lakes and the Mississippi
river in this vicinity are recognized
by the state commission as the best
grounds for growing pike. The pri.
vate car, "Glenwood," in charge of
Superintendent of Fisheries E. w.
Cobb and Commissioner G. ].
Bradley. arrived in Bemidji from
Park Rapids last right. The COM
mission is distributing 200 cans OF
pike between Minneapolis and
Crookston, planting the small fry at
II stations.
The IS cans. which contained
over 100000 pike minnows, were
taken out in launches by Game
Warden Bailey. F. S. Lycap, Bart
Stafford and others, and planted al
the different locations on the lake
The share allotted to Bemidji was
larger than that given to any other
city on this trip, and it was to
great extent due to the efforts OF
Mr.. Lycan that so many fish were
given to this section from the state
hatcheries at St. Paul and Glenwood
The eggs from which the fish planted
here were Matched were taken from
the Rainy River a short time ago,
when the commission secured 4O5
quarts of spawn, each quart con
tanning about 100000 eggs.
The people in this neighborhooc
will doubtless appreciate the state:
aid in stocking Lake Bemidji, and
should demonstrate their gratitude
by RETAINING from keeping pike
under IA inches which they may
catch. The state game laws provide
that no bass under six inches If
length, nor pike under IA inches
shall be caught. One Bemidj
citizen, who had large string oil
fish yesterday, was fined for retain
ing some pike which were under the
legal minimum length.
Bemidii was complimented on it!

day by Commissioner Bradley wht
expressed great admiration for the
city among the northern pines.
