EASTERN TROUT DEvOUR
CONTINUED PLANTING LIKELY
TO ELIMINATE NATIVES.
Judge Teal's Experience at Private
Hatchery Above Falls City Proves
Truthfulness of Statement.

Judge Teal, who for many year.
conducted private fish hatchery a
his ranch on Teal creek, does not ap
prove of planting. eastern brook trou
in our coast streams, asserting that il
the practice is continued they viii
eliminate mountain trout from these
waters. The assertion is made after
experiments which proved its truth
fulness. Some time ago Judge Tea
introduced eastern brook trout into
his ponds above Falls City, and dis.
covered to his amazement that the
native fish were being devoured by
the wholesale, in one particular in
stance mountain trout thirteen inch
es in length being eaten by an east
ern trout of only slightly larger size,
three days being required for the
foreigner to make way with its prize.
He says that diligent inquiry among
fishermen of this vicinity has resulted
in the information that while millions
of the eastern variety have been
planted in the waters of Polk county
during the past decade very few have
been taken by anglers, to account for
which he makes no attempt.
Following his discovery that east
ern trout were death to trout of our
coast streams Judge Teal communi-
Gated this information to the powers
that be, and considerable discussion
of the subject was caused at that time
by his statements, but notwithstand-
ing eastern brook trout continue to be
planted here and elsewhere in Ore
gon. The judge was obliged to elm
mate these foreign trout from ponds
wherein he had mountain trout, and
eventually got rid of them altogether,
being assured from actual experience
that they are a menace rather than a
benefit. He is convinced that the
stocking of coast waters with these
fish is mistake on the part of the
authorities, and believes that some ac-
ton should be taken whereby the
practice would be discontinued for all
time. The hatcheries of Oregon, in
the opinion of this venerable lover of
the finny tribe, should turn off only
the native product, planting trout of
this variety in local waters, following
which plan there would be a notable
increase in the number of fish in the
streams, much to the qualification of
those who enjoy piscatorial amuse-
ment.
Phil Begin, somewhat Industrious
local fisherman, and who enjoys the
of getting them when all
others fail, in an interview with a
of The Observer yes
terday, said that he had caught east
ern trout in the La Creole river, but
that in comparison with the number
Of mountain trout taken they were
few. Other anglers in these waters
seem to bear out the opinion of Judge
Teal, when attention was called to the
matter, although no thought had been
given the question previously. At any
rate the matter is worthy of the care
full consideration of the Fish and
1ame commission through experiment
alton along the line.

NEW LIGHTING SYSTEM.
Drudgery in the Kitchen Banished by
New APPARATUS.

A new wrinkle in lighting appli-
ances is being demonstrated in Dallas
this week in the form of gas gener-
ator. This is a neat and compact ap-
paratus destined to relieve the house
wife from much of her drudgery by
supplanting the wood or coal fire with
gas, relegating to disuse the coal oil
lamps for gas lights, and by heating
her rooms with gas rather than wood
or coal heat. There is no trouble or
inconvenience about the generator; it
is designed to be stored in an out-of-
the-way place and its product is ideal
for cooking, lighting and heating. The
gas is poisonous. free from dirt.
grease, SCOT, smoke and smell. There
is no danger from stored gas and no
chemicals are required to generate the
gas. The user merely turns on the
gas when it is put in use and turns it
off when mt in use, and the only
trouble is keeping it supplied with
gasoline. 1t is said to be much cheap
er to burn this gas than wood or coal
or kerosene. The average cost per
burner on a cooking range is less than
one half cent per hour, while the cost
for light per thousand candle hour is
two and one half cents, compared to
twelve cents for coal oil lamp on the
same basis.
J. G. Peters and A. III. Hansen are

orator company here, and are holding
a demonstration at 500 Court street,
across from the postoffice.

went to California and went to placer

war broke out. Several miners near
my claim were killed, so I left north
ern California and came back to the
willamette valley. The Oregon terri
torial legislature assembled in Decem-
ber, 1855, at Corvallis, which at that
time had been declared the capital
of Oregon territory. I reported the
session for the Democratic Standard
of Portland. The legislature took
recess for the Christmas holidays.
During this recess it was decided that
Salem should be the capital, so the
legislature reassembled at Salem On
January 5, 1856, just prior to the ad-
journment Of the legislature the vol
unteers for the Yakima war were
mustered in at Salem. Each man had
to present his own horse and arms
before being mustered in. I hired
horse Of the livery stable and was
in. Captain B. F. Burch
told me I could stay with my job as
reporter till the legislature adjourned,

They lived all winter on the acorns
or most, as they called it. By the
early summer of 1850 my herd of
hogs were in fine shape. A couple of
men from San Francisco had charter
ed boat and had come up to Oregon
to load produce for the San Fran
cisco market and to buy hogs to sup
ply bacon to the miners. They heard
of my hogs, and one of the men came
up and looked them over. He offered
me $4,000 in cash for the whole herd.

them to Portland to be shipped to
San Francisco. 1 had sowed more
