To Be Made By The Estey Or.
gan Company And Is To

After considering several PROPOSE
tions for a pipe organ, the women of
the United Circles of the First Chris
.tian church finally decided on an Es-
tey to be manufactured by the famous
Estey Organ company of Battleboro,
Vermont.

INDUSTRY
Should Be Upheld
Gil Bill To Close The
River To Commercial Fish
ing South Of 0swego.

From the standpoint of food supply.
for our country and state and the world
and to preserve and build up a large in
dustry, the most important bill ON the
ballot this year is the Gill Fish Bill, No.
SOC, on which the Oregon City Fisher
men 3 Union has taken a referendum.
The local selfish interest of a small
body of men at n town is arrayed
against the interests of the whole state
to destroy one of the greatest sources
of food supply and strike a blow at an
industry that is fundamentally involved
with the prosperity Of Oregon.
Voters should uphold the 9Th r1sn
Bill with an affirmative vote and help
increase this food supply that comes
into every market fresh and the surplus
of which is canned and upholds our ar
mics at the front, to say nothing of Civ
ing employment to thousands of labor
ers,
The state fish commissioners and
state authorities in charge of salmon
propagation ask the support of the Gill
Fish Bill for the following reasons pre-
pared by State Fish Commissioner Clan
ton:
The spring run of chinook salmoa is
the most valuable run of fish in the
world. This run of salmon enters the
Columbia river carly in the spring, and
from time immemorial a part of these
fish pass up the Willaette river to the
spawning beds at the head waters of
the Willamette and its tributaries. The
state depends entirely upon these fish
restocking the Columbia river with
spring chinooks. In 1917 the state got
but six millions spring chinook eggs.
The state should have forty or fifty
million spring chinook eggs or more to
keep the Columbia river stocked. 1t is
impossible to get these eggs if the
commercial fishermen at Ortgon City
harvest the crop and leave nothing for
seed. -
Immense numbers of spring chinooks
are caught with every commercial de-
vice from the time the fish come any
where near the Columbia river bar all
the way up a stretch Of over one hun
bred miles. The comparatively few
spring chinook salmon that finally
reach the Willamette river are needed
as a sted supply to restock the waters
so that VIC may have a future run Of
salmon and a future food supply, al
well as a present food supply.
1t is not generally understood that
the value Of the salmon crop to Oregon
this year will be about ten MILAN dol
lars, canned salmon alone running ny
to three-fourths of that sum.
Then consider what it means to have
an abundant supply Of this royal fish
food the year around fresh in the Local
markets, as is now possiblt with colo
storage and transportation facilities.
The Gill bill affects especially the
supply Of Chinook salmon that runs il
the spring of the year and this bill af
fects only the Willamette and Columbia
rivers but the industry affects a dozer
other rivers and all parts Of the state

School For
Girls Needs Building

Gone Of the greatest needs Of this
institution, is q better method Of seq
rcgation of the different classes of
girls that come to u.s. says Mrs. Mar
garct L. Mann, superintendent Of the
state industrial school for girls, in her
biennial report to the state board OF
control.
She recommends the construction Of
two additional buildings, but the state
board has already eliminated these
items from the budget for that intsitu-
ton.
There are so girls in the school.
Sixty-nine were received during the
present biennium. Forty one were re-
leased and ~ were paroled. The ages
range from II to 81 years, the greatest
number being 10 and 10 years old.
In the biennial report for the state
school for the blind, Mrs. May MoCres;
superintendent, points out that less than
half of the counties in the state are
represented in the school, and she de-
clares it is to be regretted that the par
ents of blind children Of school age do
not take advantage Of the opportunity
offered by the state to educate them.
There are 35 pupils. in the school. In
the last two years nine pupils were re-
eeived, eight left school and two were
graduated.

Germany Surrenders Internationally
Early Monday Morning

the battle front. They, it was, that
turned the tide on July is, and furn-
ished the first rift in the cloud of
gloom hanging like a pail over the
allied nations. From then ON they
were in the thick of every fight and
always we could feel proud of their
every act. No praise of tongue or pen
can picture the debt we owe them, and
nothing that the country possess is
too good for them. Our part in the
glory of this greatest world war is
wholly due to them, and on their home
coming the country will prove that it
appreciates the fact.
1t will be months before all the boys
could be returned even in the ordinary
course of things but it will probably
be necessary for this country to furn-
ish a considerable part of the neces-
sary troops to police the conquered
countries while the terms of peace are
being carried out, as the other allied
nations have been hit so much harder
than we have that every possible man
will be needed for the work of rehabi-
litation.
Already the Germans have started
a cry for Mr.. Wilson to aid them in
tightening the burdens of the terms
granted and insist that they need food
at once. When Russia through rebel
lion at home was on her knees before
Germany and thousands of her citizens
starving. the Huns took half the feed
they had instead of furnishing help. SO
il will be some time before the allied
nations arouse any great amount of
sympathy over the predicament in
which the Huns now find themselves.
A little touch of the pangs of hunger
will make them appreciate the doctrine
of frightfulness at its real value. The
allies will never descend to carry the
rest of this doctrine to them as they
did to Belgium, France, Italy and
Serbia, but little starvation will be
a great civilizer for them.

The war has demonstrated one fact
clearly-home grown sugar is feeding
the nation. Thirty-five states COM
prising four fifths of total area Of
U. S. must depend on home grown su-
gar until end Of year and large por-
tion Of this area for much longer per-
iod.
The beet sugar output comes just
at this season when output from other
sources is exhausted.
If it were not for American beet
sugar supplying the market today, an
absolute sugar famine would prevail.
And yet year ago there were
agitators among the farmers saying
don't raise sugar beets, ostensibly to
force higher price.
But sugar beets have saved the day
and next year the acreage should be
greatly increased TO strengthen the in
dustry to meet the after-war competi-
tion.
Reports from different sections OF
the west Indicate favorable reaction
towards sugar beet growing as ex-
perience of many farmers this year
with wheat, bean and potato growing
did not come up to expectations.

Looks Like Good Proposition For
Editors.

A number of our exchanges have
been speculating on what would hap
pen if the government took over the
newspapers. Well, the first thing the
subscription price would be raised
about so per cent and the sheriff
would be kept busy chasing delin-
quents. The next step would be to
raise the wages % per cent and ed
itors who hadn't had cent in six
months they could call their own,
would be placed on a salary. The mer-
chants who fail to get their ad copy
in until press day would be hauled up
before the council Of defense and our
linotype man who hired out for two
weeks and quit his job in week
would be sent to Leavenworth for
about ten years as deserter. 1t
looks like a good proposition and we

Now that all indications point to
speedy return of lasting world peace,
after nearly four and one-half years
of almost unbelievably destructive
warfare, the attention of national lead
ers in all countries is being turned to
great reconstruction problems and to
the development of natural resources
that will aid in the work of reconstruc-
ton. Perhaps no state in the Union
offers Il wider variety of such natural
resources needing development than
Colorado, and the campaign for max
ing proper examinations and surveys
to determine their location, extent and
adaptability is already under way. The
state board of immigration has collect
ed much general information about the
possibilities of the uncultivated arabic
areas of the state and the location and
character of various mineral deposits,
but its experience in carrying on this
work has emphasized the necessity for
Legislation that will make it possible
to obtain the necessary official data
with more accuracy and less difficulty.
Arrangements are now being made for
the introduction into the next legis-
lature of measures which will make
possible closer cooperation between the
state, on the one hand and various
county, municipal and federal agencies
on the other, in the compilation Of data
to aid in directing capital to proper

The appointment of Arthur II. King
a well known business man of Sterling,
to succeed Walter Walker of Grand
Junction, resigned, as a member Of the
Colorado state board Of immigration
was announced last Saturday by Gov
ernor julius c. Gunter. Mr.. King is
one of the most widely known men in
the northeastern section Of the state,
where he has been connected with
several of the large irrigation enter
prises for a number of years. He is
also member of the Colorado council
of defense and has given largely of
his time and efforts in the furtherance
Of the work of that body. He was one
Of the democratic candidates for Re
gent of the State University at the
recent election and was defeated by
narrow margin in the republican
landslide. He will be present at the
next meeting Of the board, to be held
on Monday, November Is, at which
time plans for the active participa-
tion of the state in the governments
reconstruction program will be made.
At that time the board is expecting
to consider plans for cooperating with
the federal government and for com
pleting AN exhaustive survey of the
state with the view to facilitating the
handling of thousands of returned sol
diers at the conclusion OF the war.
