To PLANT FISH IN
POLK STREAMS
ERS WITH RAINBOW TROUT.
Several Thousand May be Planted i'm
Closed Streams For Two Years.

II efforts now being made are sue
eessful it is probable that several
thousand trout fry will be planted in
the streams OF Polk county under the
supervision of State Game Warden
Finley
Headed by Fred Toner, an enthus-
astie angler, number of local fish
ermen have united in an effort to
stock the streams with rainbow trout
and have made application to Finley
for supply. They have been in
formed that the fish may be secured
as soon as necessary technicalities
are complied with. 1t is the inten-
ton of those interested in the matter
to plant large number of the fish
in every stream of the county The
question of making an effort to close
the streams against all fishing for two
years is also under consideration, as
it is felt that it will be useless to
plant them with young fish only to
have them caught the second year i.
Former Effort Failed.
"A few years ago a number of
Eastern brook trout were planted in
some of the Polk county streams,
pIlHtlpdllN lllt ILdlItOltt Sdlu Il Wtll-
known fisherman yesterday, but the
fish were not protected by law dur
ing the open season and the result
was that they were nearly all caught
the succeeding year. One man alone
caught 20 of these little fish in one
day They didn't look like the fish
that usually frequented the stream
and, upon inquiry it was learned that
they were Eastern brook trout He
wondered how they got into the
stream but he went on catching them
and did his part in denuding the
stream of the small fish. There is
no use in planting fish in any stream
unless it is closed to all fishing for
a period long enough to permit the
fish to grow to maturity and propo-
gate If this is done the sport will
be greatly enhanced and | sincerely
hope If the present effort to secure
a large number of brook trout is sue
cessful, that measures will be taken
to close all streams for two years at
least"

DECIDES TO MAKE
EXHIBIT OF CHOICE POUL-
TRY OF MEMBERS AT
BIG STATE SHOW.
HELP INDUSTRY is IDEA
l.. S. Robbins, of EoIa and Mrs. Win
ME Braden, of Dallas, Among
Those Who Have Already An
Expected Soon.

Decision to provide suitable eX-
hibit of the prize poultry of Polk
county fanciers at the coming Oregon
State fair was made at the specially
called meeting of the Polk County
Poultry association held at the Court
House in this city on Saturday after
noon. While there was not large
attendance, owing perhaps to the very
busy season with the farmers, those
who were there We're enthusiastic
over the proposition and the predic
tion was freely made that there
would be no trouble in securing and
installing an exhibit at Salem. The
association feels, it is declared, that
no opportunity should be overlooked
to promote the industry in this county
and it is realized that exhibits at
public fairs are one of the best plans
to encourage growers to improve
their poultry.
Some Who viii Exhibit.
L. S. Robbins, of Eola, one of the
largest poultry raisers on the Coast
will exhibit about 20 choice BIRDS 1t
is said. Mrs. Winnie Braden, secre-
tary of the association and manager
of the SLEEPY Hollow Poultry farm
near Dallas, will also have some
choice representatives from her
yards on display. other members Of
the association have also sgnified
their intention of exhibiting and 1t
is thought that there will be no trou-
BILE in securing the 100 birds neces-
sary to enter an exhibit as an asso-
citation.
Winners of individual prizes will
receive their prizes in cash but
should the associations exhibit re-
ceive prize the money will go into
the funds of the association.
Sound Financially.
The Polk County Poultry assoeia-
tion is practically out of debt" said
Mrs. Braden, secretary. I'VE have
funds in the treasury. This has been
a successful year, our first one In
fact and interest in the association
has grown to such an extent that
practically every poultry raiser in the
county who makes a speciality or bet
ter birds Is a member.
The slogan of the association is
Better Birds and More of Them"
and there appears to be a general
desire on the part of the breeders TO
live mp to this motto. Poultry rails
ing Is fast becoming more profitable
each year and interest in the indus
try is growing as the success of the
older breeders is noticed. We are
trying to make this year the banner
one in the history of the county, and
feel that credltable exhibit at the
state fair will go a long way toward
establishing the claim that Polk coun-
ty is the blue ribbon county" of the
state. We certainly have the poultry
all that is necessary Is to get II on
display at the fair This | believe
viii be done"

Helpmcet Abuses and Treats Him
in Cruel and Inhuman Manner.

After living together for nearly "a
years and raising family of children,
Thomas E. Cornelius has begun act
ion for divorce in department No. 2 of

pie We're married in Washington
county, Oregon, November "a, 1873,
and that there have been three chill
dren born to the union, all of whom
are over the age of 21 years
Cruel Treatment Alleged.
The complaint alleges that "plain-
tiff has treated defendant with kind
ness, affection and forbearance" and
that lat numerous times defendant
has treated plaintiff in a cruel and
inhuman manner" specific charge be-
ing made that such action occurred
in February, 1910. That during the
time of their married life defendant
has been captious, over critical, and
HAS lecture Su anu SCOlu6u
without cause or proVocatiOn, and
has attempted to make plaintiff con-
form to her peculiar views, much to
his annoyance and humiliation and
which conduct has materially annoy
ed and harassed plaintiff, and which
treatment on the part of plaintiff is
cruel and inhuman.'
So Thomas has at last tired of it,
and now asks the court to dissolve
the martial bonds of many years.
Property Division Arranged.
In the complaint it is recited that
plaintiff and defendant have come to
an understanding regarding the prop
er division of their lares and penates

QUARRY TO Open SOON
OsWegO Portland Cement Company
to Begin Operations on Rock Quar-
IN i'm Few Days is Report.


Operations Of the big cement rock
quarry west of Dallas owned by the
Portland Cement company of OswegO,
it is reported will begin in a few
days. Twenty-Five men will be en-
ployed. The plant at Oswego is
practically completed and everything
is in readiness for the manufacture
of cement.
A siding from the main line of the
Salem, Falls City & Western railway
was built to the rock quarry last
year, but delay in the completion of
the big plant at Oswego has made
it impractical to begin work at the
quarry on a large scale. Under the
direction of Manager Steinmetz a
large amount of work has already
been done at the quarry but no rock
has been shipped.

Monster Halibut Catch From Mystic
PiOus Bed Attracts Attention.

Recent arrivals from Newport
bring wonderful stories of the mon

some mysterious and newly discov-
cred beds, reported about 95 miles off
shore. Charles Bilyeu, who returned
from Newport Saturday. says a hall
but was brought in Saturday which
weighed 146 pounds, and that fish a
few pounds smaller are by no means
uncommon. The beds have recently
been discovered but the lucky fisher
man is endeavoring to keep their loca-

brings in almost daily have created
no little excitement in Newport and
an effort will be made to locate their
habitat.

Interesting Sights at Oregon City
During Dry Season.
How many of you, long residents
Of Oregon City, ever took advantage
of the dry season, when every bit of
the water in the big river is going
through the mills to walk around on
the edge of the falls, dry shod, and
see the places that are usually COW
cred with tons of water? It's inter-
esting to see this dry bed of a great
river and the work the water has done
for centuries, and it is interesting to
watch the hundreds of big eels try
to go up over the falls through the
fish ladder. The narrow cut in this
ladder is a very swift race and hour
after hour the big eels will try to go
up to the river above the falls. They
will cling to the sides of the cement
with their mouths, while the rushing
water will make their tails snap like
whip lashes. Hour after hour, and
day after day they will work, gaining
inch by inch, but always losing out as
they almost gain the top, and as they
lose their holds and are carried down
they take with them a mass of wig
Cling, writhing eels below them, I'm

make the trip. And. by the way, did
you know that sixty tons Of these sec
ond cousins to water snakes have been
taken from below the falls here this
summer, or 276,0O0 single, Shiny

loaded in boats and shipped from
here by the state game warden, and
they are put in cold storage and fed
to fishes in the different hatcheries.-
