The Weston leader. [volume] (Weston, Umatilla County, Or.) 189?-1946, 1915-04-09

Astoria-The Columbia River sal
mon packers, both Gamers and cold
storage men, have set the prices to be
paid for raw fish during the season
which opens on May / at the following
rates: Small or cannery Chinooks. 6
cents a pound; large or cold storage
Chinooks, weighing IS pounds or
more, cents q pound; marketable
steelheads. 8 cents a pound; blue
backs, 4 cents pound; shad, cent a
pound: sturgeon, 5 cents pound.
The principal changes from last sea-
sons figures are reduction Of one
half cent in the price Of large Chi
hooks and an advance in the dividing
point between what are known as
small and large Chinooks from rs to %
pounds. The reason assigned for
these changes Is that on account of the
war the shipment Of cold storage or
picked fish to Germany has been cur
tailed, and the market for that variety
of the cured product is not encourag-
ing. A similar reason is assigned for
cutting the price for steelheads 2 cents
q pound.

CALL HER WHITE DEVIL

In the Interesting People department of the April American Magazine ap pears an article about Miss Donal6ina Cameron, a San Francisco woman who is not especially popular with certain classes of Chinamen. For twenty years she has been in charge of the rescue work of the Occidental Board of For eign Missions in San Francisco, and in that time she has rescued from slavery 1900 Chinese girls. She is known among the Chinamen as "The White Devil" Miss Cameron has visited Phoenix on two or three occasions particularly in behalf of a young Chi. nese bride over whom a Chinaman committed suicide nearly two years ago. Following is an extract from the article:
 Miss Cameron has gone at mid- night into the farthest corners of those rookeries that were the Chinatown of old San Francisco, has chopped dOwp doors, crawled through secret passages reached by panels opening with hidden springs, and found her quarry bound

FEMALE IS MORE DEADLY
Women of History and of Today, Have Been Just as Bloodthirs- ty as Their Men, the North
 American Review Says

Certainly the eminent women sov- ereigns of history have contributed their full share to the warfare of the world. Semirams of Assyria, and lingo of Spain, if we go back to semi legendary ages, were chiefly famed for their belligerence. Zeno- bia of Palmyra and Boadicea of Fri tain were not advocates of peace at any price,
 Elizabeth of England, Catherine of Russia, Maria Theresa of Austria and Hungary, Anne of England, Christina and Isabella of Spain, all had reigns marked with many vars. l Of even Victoria the Good it was said at her jubilee that there had
 been d war for every year of her long reign.
 Nor have non-reigning women al ways arrayed themselves on the side of peace or of non-resstance. From the time of Miriam and her maIdens | to the present women have exulted | in the triumphs of battle and have l melted their men folk to pugnacity. From Joan of Are to Molly Pitcher they have, on occasion, taken strenu- ous lead in actual conflict; for which the world honors them. It has long been notorious that Frances MeXi- i can war. resulting in Maximili ms tragedy, was the direct result of the | intrigues of Empress Eugenie and I"Poor Charlotta" The matronS of | Imperial Rome, the women of the
 Medicis and Bourbons, were never opponents of peaceful humanita: ian ism. The women of the French re- volution were as bloodthirsty as tie men.
 | Nor does the disposition of women | in our own day reverse the record of history. One of the features of our Civil War upon which the whole
 nation looks with most pride was | the way in which the women, both
 North and South displayed militant l zeal and self sacrifice. urging their brothers, husbands. sons and lovers Co enlist in the army, and scorning as ! towards unworthy of their regard those who would not do so. It was
 one of the foremost pioneers of the
 movements for womans emancipa- l tion who wrote "The Battle Hymn i, of the Republic.'
 In Europe today the same rule holds good. The women of every Ibelligerent land. including many Of the foremost suffragistS, are urging the men to enlist and to fight the war out to the bitter end. There is not in history. nor in contemporary observation, any disproof of the poets saying, that the female of the species is more deadly than the male." At least in the human spe- cies she is fully as militant as he. There is no sex in militarism.

THE GOPHER QUESTION

To the Editor of The Republican, Sir: The Arizona Republican on April published an article stating that the bounty on gophers will be abolished on April 15. Our board of supervisors has presumably taken this action as an ! economical measure "To fill the fam fly larder and buy shoes for the baby is commendable use of public funds 1 Will the board of supervisors mention
 more worthy or legitimate purpose foi the expenditure of the taxpayers
 money.

 bounty
 This small bounty in many cases re- i duces the necessity for special help 1 that must often be solicited for worthy
 poor from the board of supervisors. Is 1 the presen: effort one of real economy? ; l for one emphatically oppose the
 abolishing of gopher bounty at the present time Why not begin retrench-
 ment in our state houses. If reports
 are reliable l judge that the entire bounty paid on gopher tails during the 1 month of March would equal about l one third the sum paid daily by our | state to maintain the late session of our legislature to say nothing of the ! expense of extra session soon to be i'm posed upon us.

 The administration is taking a good deal of credit for keeping out of the European But there has been why should have been into it. except such reasons ourselves nave afforded What the apologists of the admin stration mean by keeping out of the war is the Chinese method of avoiding war with Japan yielding to all Japanese demands however harsh and unreasonable
