GOVERNOR WEST Tl T STATE EXECUTIVE TO REPLY TO ATTACKS BY PORTLAND PAPER LEGAL ACTION FULL INVESTIGATION OF ACTS ASKED Attorney General I Invited to Probe Charge, and to Start Pro ceeding if Allegation Are Found Tru SALEM. Ore., May 8. (Special) Libel suit, probably for $50,009, will be begun by Governor West against The Evening Telegram, of Portland, in the next two or three days, the gov ernor stated today. The cause of the action will be alleged defamatory pub lications that have been made by the paper relative to the governor's con nection with the brick yard at the state penitentiary. The objectionable articles have ap peared both in the Oregonian anl The Telegram, but the suit will be aimed only at The Telegram. The latest of the stories appeared In The Telegram on Tuesday. The Telegram has pub. lished articles of a similar nature at different times since March 25, 1912. ,'ertain of the articles have stated hat 'he governor is both civilly and (.riit. naily liable for an alleged wrong ful expenditure of state moneys. Today the governor sent a letter to Attorney General Crawford, asking him to investigate the accusations hat have been made by t.ie Portland papers and to bring suit against tbe executive if he finds that any money has been expended in an illegal man ner. I take it that the managements of the two papers above mentioned have in their possesion such evidence, as In their opinion would Justify the pub lication of such charges, and that the same will be pleaced at your disposal upon request," says the governor in the letter to Attorney GeDeral Craw ford. I have remained silent In the face of The Telegram's attacks kin? en ough," declared the governor today. There comes a time when forebear- ance ceases to be virtue. Tae peni tentiary officials have receipts for ev ery cent of money collected at the state prison. It has all been turned over to the state treasurer. It Is tbe lookout of the s'ate treasurer If any money has been paid out of that of fice unlawfully. Not a dollar of the state funds has come into my hands." LONDON.

While many of tbe big flth go up to the fulls and take a look around, the "fish ladder" there doe not teem to appeal to the great majority of the finny overelgnt, and they flip (heir tail disdainfully and turn back to Hie ClMckamai, there to dodge ang ler, chase trout and devour frlo while on tbe way to tpawutug grounds. Of course thore are many of the royal fish that travel over the bidder Into the upper Willamette, but thl number la Mid to be consider ably let than the thousand that formerly made their way over the falls. Many of the big fish, whose liking for the fish ladder does not seem to be pronounced, have tried to find oth er routes over the cataract, and may be en dally Imping Into the cpray and dashing water, only to fall back into the main channel after mom entary, tall flapping flight through the air. Effort of such fish are peo tacular, and add much to the fall at thl time a a senile attraction. Many people have gathered on van tage point near the full to watch the fish, and from beyond the 200- foot dead line angler watch the big one with envy. DREDGING BOATS ARE DOING Rnpltl progress I being made by I'nlied States engineer upon the dr vising of the Clackama rapid. At the present time two boat are at work, unu at the lower end of the ihoul ii'd the other at the upper enJ, above lai mouth of the Clack auiaa rtver. Tne dredge ftlainioma which I working at the upper end of the rapid, baa been busy leveral weeks, and Is doing valuable work in removing a ridge of gravel near the first bouy. At that place the water ia unusually swift during tbe lowest stages of (he river in September and October, and boats sometime have considerable difficulty in stemming the current. Tbe "Chamnoeg,' which Is at the lower end of the rapids, ia continu ing the cut made last year in (be large gravel bar between Jennings and Magoons. A channel six feet deep at low wa ter mark will be dug to conform with the plan of the United States engi neers. Such a channel will allow all river boats now running to the city to come up the river at any time of the year loaded to tbelr utmost capa city. With a six-foot channel at low wa ter mark, there would be an eight and ten-foot channel into the city 10 months of the year. The river will be much more at tractive to shipper and ship owners, when It Is made possible for boat to come Into the city at all time of the year loaded with a full cargo without experiencing any difficulty. At the present rate of progres. tbe entire nix foot channel will be completed thl year. A ilx-foot channel wilt also aid ma terially In getting terminal rates for Oregon City. E HELPS UNIVERSITY An indication of the revolution of sentiment manifest In Oregon against any proposal looking to keeping the two Institutions of higher education embroiled In partisan politics It seen in tbe following letter, written by Cyru H. Walker, chaplain of the Oregon state Grange, who was form erly one of the most uncompromising opponents of an Increase In appro priations. Mr. Walker writes to President CampfceU of the University of Oregon; under date of Albany, Oregon, as follows: You can quote me as being opposed to a referendum against any L'nlver- ity of Oregon appropriation. "I was conscientktu In the part I took in the referendum of 1908, cov ering the $125,000 increase annual maintenance fund, not that I opposed tbe university but because many of us thought the Oregon legislature was getting too reckless and extrava gant In making appropriations and by 'log-rolling' methods. With a mlllage basis to work up on (as I hope will be endorsed by the people) there should be no more charges of 'graft.' "I am Inclined towards putting the U. of O. and O. A. C. under one board of regents, but not to consolidate at Corvaills. With an electric line from tbe above city to Eugene It would be better for tbe state of Ore gon to pay the fare of student be- ween the two cities than to abandon the U. of O.'s magnificent structures at Eugene; that Is if duplication of studies Is 'cut out' between tfie two. "Albany and Eugene have shaken hands over the separating chasm; and, linked together now and to be still more linked by bands of steel over which will fly at a tremendous pace swiftly moving cars aped by the force of nature, there should be no nvlou rivalry, but forever may there be peace and good will. I have shown my good will by sending my only daughter. Vernal Walker, to the Eugene hlgj school this school year (11th grade)." S. WILSON NEW MAYOR AT WILLAMETTE C. H. Wilson has been elected may or of Willamette, to fill the vacancy recently made by the resignation of County School Superintendent T. I.

There I a vast supply of cord wood waiting In the Beaver Creek country for tbe new road, and aa soon aa the track I com pleted, this will be brought out. Much of thl cord wood ha heretofore been hauled out, nine miles, by team over the county roads, and the operation of the rnllway will not only save this haul, but will prevent further wear ing away of the county roads by the heavy loads from the timber dis trict.

FISHERS GATHER HEN, NOT SALMON Commercial fishermen thl wwk ceased pursuit of (he royal million for awhile, and Instead drew from the Willamette tlx Japan te who came Into their midst trolling for chiuonk. A flood from the head wa ter above the dam ha made fishing very poor the last several nlgiit for (he glllnettor, and a a result few of them have gone out. On or two boats were on tho river when thn Jap arrived, however, and thua it was tliut tho variety of flslilnq chnnged. The Orientals, stanrgers on the stream, became entangled In the ed dies below the fulls, and their bouts were capsized. All the flailing g 'ur they had was lost, as well as the few salmon that they had cnught. Six of the little men went boddlng Into the torn waters of the uppr rapids, and their cries for help brought the gill netters to their rescue. With much sputtering on the part of the Jupt, mid consldernlilo advice from tho commercial fishermen, the tlrani'crt were drugged Into tho staunch fish bonls, and lut r were set ashore, pro vided with a chunce to dry tbelr clothes, and left to their own de vices. Whenever wnter iu t fie upper river becomes hlg'i, glllnetting below the fulls suffers a setback. Just as it doe when the river is bncxed up by n rise, tn tho Columbia. For the lust two nights there has bnn a combina tion of iheso two drawbacks, and lo cal fishermen have mostly stayed oft tlie river. Wednesday the upper Wil lamette showed a general dropping, however, and the glllnetters will In; out aguln the latter part of the week. Il.dow the dam the rlvor Is still bli;ti, owing to back pressure from the Co lumbia. Catches of commercial fishermen have not been as Heavy this w?ek as earlier In the season, and as a result there has been a sharp rise In thi bids offered by Portland buyers.
