It having plunged into the Uumatllla River with the mall car. and was later fished out. Postmaster Minto said last night that it would be a most difficult task to tort it out properly and distribute It. though he said that most of the addresses on let ters and papers were legible, especially where ink had been used. The consignment of sacks showed the effects of the drenching In the river, all of them belnsr bedraggled with mud, stained and grimy. Postmaster Minto regards it as fortu nate that the mail was saved at all and that there will be some chance of accom plishing more or less satisfactory delivery. DEFENDS HIS RAGE Head of B'nai B'rith Order De livers Strong Address. DISCUSSES "RACE HATRED" Bitterly Attacks American Social System, Which He Holds Respon sible for So Much Antipathy Towards His People. A bitter arraignment of the present so cial system In the United States, whereby the spirit of Vace hatred has caused so much antipathy towards the Jewish peo ple, was made by George N. Black, grand president of the Ancient Order of the B'nai B'rith, at the largely attended meet ing at Temple Beth Israel- last night. Among other things he said: "It is because of the religious spirit of antagonism, the violent outburst of hatred, the , menace of our lives and homes, the threats against our liberty, that we have organized this grand order for self-protection. It benefits "the high and the low, the rich and the poor alike. For the last 0 years we have been organ izing so that if the time comes, we can protect those whom we hold dear, and stand by the principles we all love. The B'nai B'rith has established 38 depart ments of Its work, including benevolent, educational libraries, settlement work, asylums, homes for the poor and aged, and proper protection for the unpro tected Jewish girls. In point of National importance to the Jewish people, this order is second to none. "Why we as a people should be perse cuted, driven like slaves in the ghetto, trampled under the feet of kings and despots, is past understanding. When a Senator Who has spent 20 years in Con gress, tries to get an immigration law through Congress, to prohibit the cominR of the Jews to America, this land of liberty-loving people, we cannot fathom conditions. - In the closing hours of our Congress several years ago. a Senator succeeded in getting a bill through both houses which prohibited the Russian Jew from entering the United States, but, thank God, Grover Cleveland was Presi dent, and returned the bill with his veto, saying that it discriminated against the Jewish people, whom he looked upon as a valuable people, and good citizens. Since then, however. Senator Ixdge has been trying to get a law passed prohibiting the Jew from coming to this eountrv. Through the Influence of President Roose velt ne succeeded in Retting the bill through Congress, but through the efforts 01 tne B nal B nth Order, we were suc cessful In modifying the clauses In the bill relative to the physical and mental ex amination of immigrants landed at Ellis Island. Two hundred and fifty thousand Jews entered New- York last year, and after the 40 years we have been herded like cat tle, plundered and robbed, the legitimate victims of kings and priests, it is more the pity that the gateways of this free and liberty-gloving country should be closed against us. Therefore we should all rally to the support of this beloved order, for it is the only means by which in times of menace and danger we can properly protect ourselves." Dr. Slgmund Hecht followed Mr. Black in an eloquent appeal for the sup port of the order. He said that the Jew ish people should never lose sight of the great fraternal purpose of the organiza tion, and it should be considered in Its highest sense; that It was a sign of real progress when the people recognized the power of fraternal brotherhood, which is taught by the B'nai B'rith. and that every Jew should belong to It. A STATE TROUT HATCHERY Mr. Waters, Who Began Fishing in 182 7, Makes the Suggestion. PORTLAND. April 12. (To the Editor.) Excuse an old "Isaak Walton for asking apace in the preateat paper on the Pacific Coast The Oregon! an. The legal season for trout fish Ins haa ar rived and from reports in the papers, with little real enjoyment to the man with hia ex pensive outfit, or to the fishermen that belong to the "willow brigade." What U the reai cause ? Supply and demand. The trout are cauirht faster than they increase. Unless the Stages of Oregon and Washington establish a state hatchery for free distribution of trout every year in all waters of the state u I table for trout lire. In a few years trout Ashing will be a thin of the past. A will cite Wisconsin as a cane in hand. I spent most of the year 1828 In what later be oamA Wisconsin. In 1877 laws were enacted creating state flsh hatcheries for free distri bution of 11 kinds of ftsh. I hare before me the biennial report of the Commissioner of Fisheries of Wieconsin for the years 1901 and 102. in which I read there has been planted in round numbers 1,901.781.830 small fry and of trout, three kinds, SCt9.338.250. Of the other eight kind the greatest number is of white flsh. 4Sd.105.00O; rr wall-eyed pike, 479.500,000. ami of carp 131.327, the least of any. The report in question ays; "Pew people, however, fully realize the great value to the etAte of the Inland fisheries. They bring thou sands of visitors to the state, and furnish healthful vacation .outing; to tnoueands of our citizens. They maintain hundreds of Summer hotels and furnish employment during the Spring. Summer and Fall to thousands of men ae guidV-s, boatmen, livery atabi keepers, etc. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are yearly brought into the state and dlsoursed by those who are lured hither by the nahing in our Inland Iftkes and streams." Also: "No money appropriated by the state has yielded a snore bountiful pturi to the people." v In 1901 I began planting small trout fry in Klickitat County, Washington, in Trout Lake and the streams and lakes adjacent, and up to last April had planted, according to esti mate. 68.000. Last Summer, in about 1000 catch, only about one dosen of trout of the klml planted could be recognised. Mr. Lewis, a banker; who Hves in Portland, said to the writer Iain year: "More than 3.000.000 comes into the State of Maine every year on account of fishing and hunting. I spent over, ten years in the woods." All states, as far as evidence goes, that have such laws are satisfied to be taxed to keep up the supply of nsh and game. Let there be a strong pull and a pul! to gether in Oregon and Washington for a state trout hatchery for the distribution of trout every year by the millions. And that law will not be repealed, but upheld. I began fishing in 1S27 near Fort Chard, 111. CHARLES WATERS.

JOHN'S COUNCIL THE St. Johns Council last night wa not able to unravel the com plications that surround the un finished city Hall, left In that condition by Contractors Toungferdorf & Son. In accordance with the Instruction of the Council of last Tuesday night City At torney Greene' notified the bondsmen. Thompson & Hartman, and the financial backers of the contractors Ashley A Rumelln to appear last night and Inform the Council what they intend to do. No answer was received from either of these rirms. This left the Council In an un certain situation. On a former occasion a represents tlve of the bondsmen said that the bondsmen would waive their rights In the premises, but when it came to making this statement In writing the bonding company declined for reason known to Itself. Ashley & Rumelin, who were the finan cial backers of the delinquent contrac tors, were equally silent as to their in tentions. M. Walson, employed on the City Hall, and mho said he was a silent partner, declared that the city had broken Its contract by failing to make a second payment of $1000 due when the building was inclosed. City Engineer Goodrich In formed the Council last night that the building had not been inclosed within the meaning of the contract and for that reason he had not recommended the sec ond payment. After Contractors Toungferdorf & Son had thrown up the contract more work was done on the building, but by whose authority nobody seems to know. There is believed to be outstanding obligations for work and for material on the City Hall as it was notorious that Toungfer dorf & Son had not paid for these things, and Mayor Conch and the Council were 4$ V .

THAT wrecks never come singly, but occur in groups of three, a saying of railroad men. came true yesterday when the fatal derailment at Cayuse on Wednesday was promptly followed by two minor smashups, one on the O. R. & N. at Grande City and another on the South ern Pacific near Myrtle Creek. All the wrecks happened on the Harriman Hues under the Jurisdiction of the 'Portland general office. At Grande City two freight trains crashed, severely Injuring Conductor Re gan. He was riding on the pilot of the engine of train 21 . when the . engine Struck train 22. Regan jumped and was hurt. He was taken to Starbuck, where, he was cared for. The accident near Myrtle Creek was a simple derailment, without Injuring; any one. Four freight cars left the track and piled up in the ditch. "The cause of the accident had not been learned at the Portland offices yesterday, owing to de fective wires between Portland and the scene of the accident. The wreck de layed passenger trains three hours. I The main line of the O. R. A N. at Cayuse was cleared early yesterday morning and yesterday's trains resumed operation as usual. The four injured who are lying at Good Samaritan Hospital were getting along well last night and are 6aid to be improvng. It Is expected they will all recover. WAIL FROM THE SUBURBS Mr. WRgnon Addresses an Open Let ter to Water Board. PORTLAND, April 12. (To the Editor.) This open. letter is addressed to the members of the Portland Water Board: I have been requested by many people to fcsk you to take the people Into your confi dence and tell us why you have seen fit to lay 20 blocks of 20-inch mains purely for fire protection In the business and ware house districts at this time at a time when you must know. If you have condescended to read the report of Plumbinjr Inspector Hey. If you have not read thta report,. I would advise you to do so. He tells you plainly that many people In this city are suffering; because they cannot put in sani tary closets from the fact that the water mains are too smajl to furnish water. He names Sellwood as one of those places; also University Park, Woodlawn and Irving-ton. Tou are spending; $50,000 of the money taken from the poor people purely to benefit the rich. Why this action? Why have you not given the people of Sellwood better water facilities? Why are you neglecting; the suburbs for those downtown districts? Tou are taking; up small mains and replac ing; them with large ones at this time, and the reason Is very apparent. Tou know that there are two bills or charter amendments to be voted on In June which places the laying; of mains at the expense of the prop erty benefited, and it looks to me as though you are taking time by the forelock to give a little more of. the poor man's money to the rich man while you have the power to do so. The eyes of the people of Portland are upon you and I aek you for an explanation. - H. D. WAG N ON, Chairman of Free-Water Association. MJlwaukle Country Club. Eastern and California races.
