THE MORXIKG OREGOMAN. SATURDAY, JULY 6, 1907. r FISH INDUSTRY I IS FUST FADING i ij Columbia River Salmon Pack ers Find Business Rapidly Dwindling. MOST PATENT THIS YEAR ; Despite Artificial Propagation, Run of Salmon Is Growing Less Each Succeeding Year Varied , . Causes Are Assigned. ASTORIA, Or., July B.-SpecIal. The decadence of the salmon fishing indus try of the Columbia River is becoming more and more apparent each year, de spite the fact that thousands of dollars are being expended annually to carry on the work of artificial propagation In an effort to build up what has been for many years one of Oregon's greatest sources of Income. Gradually the pack has been dropping off until now in place of the 600.000 cases of some years ago, SoO.000 to 4CO.000 cases, including both the canned and cold storage fish, is consid ered a good season's output. It is true that the greatly advanced prices for both the raw and cured fish have offset to some extent the loss in quantity, so far as the value of the prod uct is concerned, yet there is a limit to the extent to which prices can be ad vanced and that limit has been nearly If not actually attained, while the decrease in the catch becomes more pronounced each year and the industry is assuredly facing a crisis unless some steps are taken, and. quickly too, to preserve in place of annihilating the supply of sal mon. Ffccing Conditions, Not a Theory. ! ; Never before have those interested in i the industry been brought to realize that ; fact so forcibly as this year. While the ( present season cannot be termed a fail ' ' ure and there is yet sufficient time be fore the close on August 25, to equal last ; . year's figures, thus far it has been a p poor one, probably the worst since the . ; Columbia River fisheries attained any t pretensions. To secure exact figures of ' ; the pack is an impossibility as every ' packer guards the secret zealously, but ' : it Is safe to say that the canned product , 1 to date is from 25 to SO per cent short of i ' the amount put up at the corresponding ' I date of last year. A careful estimate i : places the pack at the present time at f between 80.000 and 100,000 cases, on the basis of 48 one-pound cans to the case, . : whereas the pack on July 4 of a year ago j Was fully 135.000 cases. ', ; The pack of cold storage or pickled I salmon is also Bhort, but the discrepancy 5 ; is probably not so great, as during the ; past month a good portion of the fish .; caught have been large and have gone ?! to the cold storage plants. Some of the packing-houses have undoubtedly made a i better average than In 1906, notably those On the lower river which secure their .' . fish from the gillnetters, as it is the glll ; ' netters who have made the catches this i season, the trap and seines doing al ; ' most nothing as yet. The upper river I I canners, notably Seuffert, Warren at Warrendale and the Packers' Association j at Rooster Rock have also done well, in ; j fact better than for several years this , early In the season, but the lower river plants, which depend principally on the J traps and seines are far behind, with no 5 . Immediate prospect of their being able - 'to catch up. ' Jane Run Yet to Come. , It was but a few years ago when half the season's pack was supposed to have been put up before July 1. Then there were good runs of fish in May and June, but the big run was In July and after August 1, practically no fishing was done, the season closing on the 10th of ' that month. Recently, however, the .. runs of fish have been coming In later , and this year Is no exception as there has not as yet been what is called a "run," the nearest approach to It being a few short "spurts" in the lower harbor close to the mouth of the river. This may be due in part to the continued cold spring and the freshet, and many believe . that what are usually termed the June r' fish will yet come in, though fully a month late. The lateness of the runs '. each succeeding year has caused the , packers to vastly Increase the capacity of their plants so that now with three weeks of good fishing the shortage in the pack could be readily overcome. But will the fish come? That is the question that Is not only agitating the minds of the fishermen, seiners and trappers, but is causing the packers to ' wonder If they will be able to fill their selling orders and their Chinese con tracts. In order to fill the Chinese con tracts last year, fully two-thirds of the pack was put up in half-pounds and the proportion will be fully as great this year, although the packers admit the de mand for halves is not nearly so brisk at for the larger sizes. As to the mar ket for the canned and pickled product it oould hardly be better, so far as Co lumbia River Chlnooks are concerned, and notwithstanding the advance in the selling figures of 15 cents per dozen, every case offered is quickly taken. Varied Excuses Given. As to the causes of the falling off In the salmon runs, many reasons are ad vanced and probably the majority of them have some merit. The trouble Is there are so many diverging interests In the salmon Industry that no two of them will agree upon what shall be done to remedy the difficulty. The wheelman, trapmen and seiners say It Is the wall of gtllnets which drift near the mouth of the river," that prevents the salmon from coming inside. The gillnetters as sert that the stationary gear and the fishing above tidewater are killing the young fish and are preventing the ma tured fish from reaching the spawning ground. In fact the owners of each kind of gear lay the blame on the others, while the canners well some of them de - pend on the wheels for their catch, oth ers depend on the seines and traps while still others depend upon the gillnetters and their opinions can be gauged accord ingly. Again, many say the method of con ducting the hatcheries is at fault, that the proper results are not being attained, and thus it goes, each interest pulling against the others in place of laboring together for the common end, that of preserving the fisheries, although each one realizes that the fisheries of the Columbia River will soon be a thing of the past unless some remedy to prevent their certain destruction is quickly de vised and enforced. HILLSBORO DEDICATES PARK ' Nearly 10,000 People Take Part In the Day's Celebration. HILLSBORO, Or., July 5. (Special.) The celebration here yesterday was of more than usual significance because of the fact that Hillsboro's new city park, bought by the municipality last Fall, had its first public dedication. The grounds cover nearly 15 acres, with an open amphitheater In the cen ter, the outside being fringed with a denne sjiade. The crowd was variously estimated at from 8000 to lO.OJIO people, and the programme was the best ever witnessed at an Independence Day celebration in Washington County. Hon. B. B. Beekman, of Portland, was the orator of the day. The police were given no trouble at all. Eight passen ger trains. loaded to the guards, Ktnnned at Shllte Park nnd unloaded right at the grounds. There was a bucking contest with two real Eastern Oregon cowboys brought here for the purpose. The cayuses made good, as well as both riders. Banks beat Cor nelius at baseball for a purse of $50, and the balloon ascension was. superb, the aeronaut rising a half mile, and returning to the grounds within 300 yards with his parachute from where he started. Will Go to Michigan for Trial. SALEM, Or., July 6. (Special.) Gov ernor Chamberlain today honored a requi sition from the Governor of Michigan for the extradition of Fletcher W. Hewes. of Roseburg. who is wanted at Grand Rapids, Mich., to answer a charge of deserting his family. This offense is a felony in Michigan.

OUTLAW TERRY SHOT BEAD THE NOTORIOUS TRAINROBBER MEETS TRAGIC END. Terror of the Borderline Is Too Slow When A. Ij. Lindley Finds Him In His Home. BELLINGHAM. Wash., July 6. Jake Terry, known as "Terrible Terry," ex convict, smuggler and trainrobber, a fugi tive from Justice in the United States, was shot and instantly killed by A. L. Lindley, at Sumas, a border town, 30 miles north of here, today. For yearf Terry had terrorized the au thorities and citizens on both sides of the line, committing many crimes and defying arrest. He was a partner of Bill Miner, now serving a life sentence for tralnrobbery In British Columbia. Eighteen months ago Terry entered Llndley's home, drove the man out at the point of a revolver, keeping Llndley's wife with him for several days while fighting off a posse of officers. Later the Sheriff arrested him and was forced to take his prisoner across the line into Can ada to protect him. "Today as Lindley came home for lunch he found Terry in the house,-and he fired first. The shoot ing was witnessed by Mrs. Lindley. Sumas Is the first American town on this side of the boundary, and Terry had just come from Canada to pay a visit to the home of Gus Llndsey, whose wife's affections he had succeed ed In alienating. Llndsey met Terry at the threshold and killed him Instantly. Terry was suspected at one time of complicity in the Great Northern hold up near Ballard two years ago, and de clared to Canadian police he could lo cate $600, ODO worth of securities stolen from a Canadian Pacific train a few weeks earlier. At one time Sumas citizens drove him out of that town and hung him In effigy. WAITING TO SEE IT IN PRINT Legislators and Constituents Anxious to Know Their Records. SALEM, Or., July 6. (Special.) Much dissatisfaction is being expressed because of the delay In Issuing the printed copies of the Journals of the last session of the Legislature, which adjourned over four months ago. In quiries are numerous for copies of the Journals, but none are to be had and it Is uncertain how much longer the people must wait for a record of the work of their representatives. State Printer Duniway said In answer to an inquiry today that he has printed the copy of the Journals as fast as the manucsrlpt was furnished to him, and he has had the body of the work com pleted since May 17, but he la now wait ing for the Index to be delivered to him by the Secretary of State. The Secre tary has arranged with ex-Speaker Frank Davey to prepare the index and as soon as it Is received it will be de livered to the printer. Inquiries for copies or the Journals come principally from Oranges, mem bers of the Legislature and newspapers. The Granges are anxlojjs to look up the records of some of the members on measures In whlh they were par ticularly . interested. The members themselves are anxious t see how their records look, so that they may pre pare to defend themselves In the next campaign, or to take advantage of their records If the showing is in their favor. Newspapers frequently have occasion to refer to the amendment and passage of bills. But there is now no means of getting at this Information. One member of the Senate wrote to State Printer Dunlway a day or tWo ago, inquiring when the Journals will be out, and expressed a desire to see the record of the last session before the next session convenes. Most of the Inquiries and complaints are ad dressed to the State Printer upon the erroneou assumption that he is re sponsible for the delay. Complaints are also being made of the delay in issuing volume 43 of the Supreme Court reports. The last report contained the Supreme Court decisions down to about a year ago, and another report would In" the regular order ,of things be out before this, but State Printer Dunlway says that the first page of manuscript has not yet been delivered to him, so he knows nothing about when It will be out. Delay In getting out the Supreme Court reports is of inconvenience to many of the law yers who do not purchase the Pacific Reporter, issued by an Eastern pub lishing house and containing -the Ore gon reports. The lawyers can always get the decisions much quicker by pat ronizing the Eastern publishing house, but they prefer to get the decisions from the state If they can. Floater Picked Vp Near Vancouver. VANCOUVER. Wash., July B.-(Spe-claf:) A few minutes after the steamer Telephone left her dock in this city, on her way up the river this morning, the captain in the pilot-house noticed a hu man body floating down the stream. He immediately turned back to Vancouver and notified the men along the riverfront. The body was discovered as it passed the city, and the tug Stranger brought it to shore. A coroner's Jury, called by Coroner J. R. Smith, was unable to iden tify the dead man, although indications are that death was due to drowning. No distinguishing marks could be found on the body, which had been in the river for probably, 30 days. The man appeared to be about 35 years old, had dark hair, was about five feet, eight inches in height, would weigh about 150 pounds, and wore 74 shoes sold by B. C. Fisher. Tacoma, Wash.

WORK OF PAST HALF YEAR Government Fisheries Bureau Makes Splendid Showing In Jts Wort of Restocking Oregon Waters With Gamey Salmon. OREGON CITY, Or., July 6. Special). The work of the United States Bureau of Fisheries in Oregon and Washington has been summarized by Harry O'Malley, superintendent in charge, and the opera tions of the several stations are shown In his report, covering the first six months of the year. The statistical in formation given In the report is espe cially interesting to those interested in the fishing industry in the Pacific North west. The following data shows the operations throughout the year of the different stations, periods of operation and species hatched: Clackamas, entire year, ehlnook salmon, lake trout, brook trout, rainbow trout, - black spotted- trout. Big White Salmon, Ausust 1 to February 1, Chinook salmon. Little White Salmon, August 1 to March 1, ehlnook salmon. Eagle and Tanner creeks on Columbia River, August 1 to October 15, ehlnook salmon. Eagle Creek, on Clackamas River, March IS to June 1, steelbead trout. ADDleitate Creek. February 1 to April 80, steelhead trout. Rogue River, entire year, steelhead and black spotted trout. W illamette Falls, May 28 to June 30, shad. At the Clackamas Station. On the first day of last January there were at the Clackamas station 2,132,000 ehlnook salmon fry. Seven hundred and ninety brook trout and 520 rainbow trout and the salmon fry were liberated from time to time as they became of proper age, being completed by the end of Janu ary. In the same month 50,000 lake trout eggs were received from Northville, Mich., and in February 400,000 eastern brook trout eggs were received from the Lead vllle, Colo., station, but were in bad con dition, having hatched en route, giving good evidence that they were too old for shipment. In April 232,000 rainbow trout eggs were received from Balrd, Cal., and the Nevada State Fish Commission. On April 23, 229,700 eyed steelhead trout eggs were received from Amel Oldenburg, who took the eggs on Applegate Creek, South ern Oregon. Of these, 200,000 were placed In refrigerator cases and shipped to East ern points, and the remainder were shipped to Elk Creek station, on Rogue River. The last of May preparations were made for the collection of shad eggs on the Wil lamette River, the battery being set up at Willamette Falls, where the gravity supply was secured, having afall of about seven feet. The fish that have been hatched and liberated from Clackamas station are: Brook trout 683 Rainbow trout 440 Black spotted trout 79.700 Quinn&t Balmcn 2,6:0.000 Steelhead trout 226.640 Lake trout 5,000 Brook trout CI, 000 Hatnbow trout 42.O00 Shad .... 874,000 There Is at the station 59.450 rainbow trout fry on hand; 8330 landlocked sal mon, 89,330 brook trout and 24,590 lake trout. Rogue River Station. During the first part of January the river rose to within five feet of the hatching-house floor, and again in the first part of February the river rose to within one foot of the floor, the boom protecting the wheel was torn out and the danger to- the wheel was so great that over a million fry were turned into the river. Since January 1 until now the river has continued at an unusually high stage. Many steelheade entered Elk Creek this Spring, but the high water took o"ut the traps repeatedly and permitted the fish to pass over the dam. and for that reason the egg take at this point was only 69,000. Early in May a rack was complet ed at Rogue) River, a trap Installed and live pens constructed, but as yet no fish have been taken. The total take of steelhead egga was 167,000, of which 100,000 fry were planted and 48,270 are on hand. The number of Chinook salmon eggs re ceived was 7,841,779, of which 1,661.390 were shipped to R. r. Hume. There were planted 6,892,104 fry. Little White Salmon Station. On January 1 there were 4,300,630 chinook salmon fry on hand, and these have been liberated. The total take was 6,191,000, and there were liberated 4,280,450. Of the supply, 1,100.000 were shipped to the Ore gon State Fish Commission. Big White Salmon Station. There was 2,173,000 chinook salmon fry On hand at the beginning of the year. The total take was 5,113,000. of which 2,169,000 were liberated and 2,460,000 were shipped to the Ontario hatchery, .of the Oregon State Fish Commission. Eagle Creek Station. Early in March racks and traps were placed In Eagle Creek to stop and col lect the steelhead trout. The creek re mained low until April 9, when a sudden raise from heavy rains caused the loss of a portion of the rack. As soon as the water fell the rack was repaired, only to be lost again April 20 by a second high water. It was again repaired and re mained in place until the last of May, when it was removed for the season, the run of fish being apparently over. The smallest number of fish known in many years ascended this stream this season, being attributed to the unusual climatic conditions that existed. The to tal collection was 11,156 steelhead trout, and of this number 10,343 were shipped to Clackamas station. WOMAN'S CLOTHES TAKE FIRE Harney County Homesteader Has an Exciting Experience. - BURNS, Or., July 5. (Special.) Miss Raymond, lately from Fort Bid well, Cal., who has a homestead In the Dog Moun tan neighborhood, south of Burns, had an exciting experience with fire a few evenings since, but fortunately escaped serious consequences. Miss Raymond has had a house built recently on her claim and was exercising an industrious desire to clean up around the premises and make a garden. To this end. she had slaughtered a lot of sagebrush and to this she set fire on the occasion mentioned, but in doing so her clothing caught fire and she was terribly frightened.

Linden delivered the invocation and Mrs. Imogen Harding Brodle sang, "Co lumbia, the Gem of the Ocean." A. S. Hunt directed a chorus that rendered "Star Spangled Banner" and "America." FORM HAD SHE WAITED RUSH FOR DrVORCE COSTS WIFE SHARE OF $10,000,000. Catherine May Elliott Not Entitled to Any of Former Husband's Great Wealth. SEATTLE, Wash., July 5. (Special.) Federal Judge James Wlckersham, of Alaska, has handed down a decision that bars Catherine May Elliott, of Chicago, from any part of the famous Hubbard-Elliott copper properties of Alaska. They are worth $10,000,000 and the woman claimed a half Interest in them on the ground that she had grubstaked Elliott, the discoverer. Elliott went to Alaska In 1898, and a few years later his wife se cured a divorce. Attorneys for- Elliott claim that the woman was really not en titled to the divorce, but she was allowed it. Then Elliott went back to Alaska, and in 1902 located the rich copper properties. Had Mrs. Elliott delayed her divorce a year or two she would have been entitled to her share of the millions that Elliott could receive for a sale. As It was, when the case was tried at Valdes Judge Wlc kersham found Elliott's parents gave him all the money he had to use in Alaska.

FIGURES SHOW BURNS' GROWTH Postal Receipts Are SO Per Cent Higher in 1007 Than in 1905. BURNS, Or., July 5. (Special.) The postofflce Is always a safe barometer of a town's growth and prosperity. In this respect Burns makes a veryK satisfactory showing. The reports of Postmaster Welcome for the fiscal year ending June 30 show that the business of the office in the sale of stamps, stamped envelopes, etc., exceeded by $734.94 the business for the year ending June 30, 1906, or an In crease of 80 per cent. The exact figures are J2460.73 for the year ending In 1906, and 13196.67 for the pastv year. The registry business in the past six months shows an increase of about 13 per cent, over the last six months of 1906, the num ber of registrations 754; as against 669. Under order of the department. Post master Welcome began on July 1 to weigh all mall leaving the office, each class being weighed separately and this will be continued for six months. The increase of the fiscal year's bus iness, was cut down more than 10 per cent, by the delay of two or three heavy orders of stamped envelopes, which did not arrive in time for June delivery, which would have made the Increase over 11000. It is expected the year Just open ing will bring a greater Increase than has ever been shown. AUTO LEAPS INTO A SLOUGH Woman Badly Hurt in First Accident of the Kind in Hoquiam. HOQTJIAM.

POSITION OFFERS $10,000 Fear' That Portland Pastor Would Again Refuse Dampens Ardor for Third Call First Church Rent by Factional Troubles. SEATTLE, Wash., July 3.-(Speclal.-Twlce the First Baptist Church of Seattle has called the Rev. Dr. Brougber to the pastorate and twice the Portland divine has refused to accept it. Now a large majority of the membership wants to ex tend him a third call, but the conserva tlve element among the board of deacons is earful ofa third refusal and anxious to avoid being turned down again. Even among those Baptists who want Dr. Brougher to come to Seattle- to heal their differences, there Is a fear that he would refuse to undertake a task that three ministers have found impossible.' It was stated by one of the most prom inent of the church's deacons today that unless assured Dr. Brougher would ac cept a call, he would lead an opposition to asking him a third time. Each time this deacon has taken the lead in in viting the Portland divine to the Seattle church and the only ground of opposi tion now is a fear that the church pride might be injured by a new refusal. Dr. Myron W. Haynes, now in the East to discover a call from the Chicago church, has not actually resigned his pastorate of the First Baptist Church", and it Is stated by the deacons that ftiey will not be in a position to offer another pastor to the church until they have eliminated Dr. Haynes. Close friends of Haynes says the Second Baptist Church of Chicago has asked him to go there; Mrs. Haynes gave out an interview a few days ago saying the call had not been actually extended, but closed her statement by declaring that if an angel from heaven was called to the pastorate of the First Church by one faction, the other would fight his coming. Teh dea cons regard this as a clear Indication that it is only a matter of time before they will have to fill the pulpit. The First Church has valuable real estate holdings, which would go a long way toward building a new church. Its membership has been decimated by the factional quarrel of years and now lead era on both sides want to quit. They thought Dr. Brougher could unite them, and if he would come the deacons would extend the invitation. Fearing another refusal, a faction in the church is urg ing that the East be scoured for a man of National reputation who can fill the place. It was declared today the church would pay as high as 110,000 for the right man. NAVAL PARADE AT ABERDEEN Second Day of Carnival Accidents Are Serious. ABERDEEN, Wash., July 5. (Special.)
