That's going some even for a B. M. but It shows his sentiments. Bear the above paragraph In mind when we tell yon that Steenstrup en tertained a Norwegian scientist on tho trip to the lake. The scientist possessed an impossible name so Mr. Steenstrup said, "You won't mind, will you if I call you by the name of your king?" "That's all right," the Norwegian replied, "and I will do tho same by you. Pass tho biscuits, Mr. Taft." Tho little arrangement was called and thereafter Mr. Steenstrup strug gled with the unpronounceable name. . AVe read the other day of a man named Outlaw -who was arrested. for stealing, but we don't dare spring It lor fear someone will say we made up the name to fit the case. Therefore, you will note, we leave It unsaid. How doth the little' Bully Mooso ' 'Improve eaeh shining hour? By calling names and seeking far Opponents to devour. THERE seems to be something peculiarly domornlfoinft about market fishing just, as thoro is about market hunting. 2$b law, designed for the protection of fish, and hence to benefit the fishermen themsolvvcs in the long run. is safe from violation, tf the fishermen cannot get the fish fast enough legitimately, they immediately resort to j 1 legitimate means. The Rogue river and its tributaries was closed by the people of Oregon to all except rod and line fishermen. The latter have been permitted to sell salmon only when caught with rod and line. That lias not prevented the few market fishermen who haunt the stream from resorting to both nets and dynamite. Thousands of dead fish line the banks of the stream, mute testimonials to the persistent lawlessness of tho fishermen and suspicion points to the market fishermen, for incentive is Jacking for others. The half-dozen nets confiscated also speak for their illegal activity. The season is too far advanced now to make salmon fishing profitable. The fish are spawning and unfit to eat. It is only an occasional one that is unspotted. Hence we find the market fishermen devoting themselves to catch ing steelhead and other trout, the sale of which is prohibit ed by law. Go along the river, near the eamn of anv market fishermen, you will find not only dynamited fish, but various holes baited with salmon eggs for trout. Whv do market fishers catch steelheads, except to violate the law y seuing uicnn j!ivcry iisn innrKec unit purchases stecinead or othvr trout violates the law. Every person who purchases them from the markets, or from the fisherman, violates the law and is subject to arrest, fine and imprisonment. It is to protect the fish and to restock the streams that anglers pay their annual license. But what is the use of tho.usauds so contributing when a dozen lawless fishermen make a business of slaughtering more in a few minutes than the hatchery can turn out. The steelhead and trout are mostly marketed under the guise of "gifts." The fish are "presents" from the marcei iisnerman. jno money clianges Hands at tlio time but it does subsequently or previously. No market fisher man can make a living by carrying his catch from the river to give away, and those supposedly law-abiding, respect able citizens in conspiracy with him, ought to be ashamed of themselves they are a miserable kind of sportsmen. The wanton abuse of their privileges by market fisher men can only have one result the absolute prohibition of the sale of all fish, no matter how caught. By their illegal acts, these fishermen have not onlv broiio-hr. imort ihmn. 1 XI. . l?j .i. -.. . . . reives me inaignanon ot tne community, but nave created a strong public sentiment to put them out of business alto gether.

By 7;30 o'clock tho. crowd had enUrely blocked the street, for a radius of 100 yards in different directions. When the doors of tho.Grants Pass opera houso Bwung open at 7:40 a quick but orderly scramble was mado for the free seats, which woro quickly occupied. A crowd of several hundred were un- able to secure seats. The Clamau players gave a beau-, tiful rendition of the sweet, pastoral offering, Miss July Evangeline Cla man winning new laurels for a brow plethoric already with applause and appreciation for her never-varying artistry and marvelous versatility.

Pertinent facts about the steel trust, Its organization and main talnanco are summarized as follews: 1. The giant combine is a mono poly in restraint of trade and there fore clearly In violation of tho Sher- "man anti-trust law. 2. That of its capital stock of 1, 4C5.0OO.00O more than $500,000,000 Is wnter, which can be absorbed only through exacting excessive prices for iron and steel products, by grace of the protective tariff and control of tho money market. 3. That It owns tho fees or lease holds of more than 7G per cent, of all the available Iron ore deposits of tho United States, and., therefore, controls tho raw material entering into the manufacture of Iron and steel to such an' extent that It Is in a position to dictate prices of pig Iron, seml-flnlsbed products and of all finished product which It sees fit to manufacture. A. That through the ownership of common-carriers, and of plant facil ity lines which it has succeeded in having recognized as common-carriers. It enjoys advantages denied to the ordinary Iron or steel manufac turing concerns; that these advan tages enable It to securo rebates through tho use of devices prohibited by law and to secure unfair divisions of freight rates which aro In effect rebates, 0. That Its directors aro presi dents, vice-presidents or directors of railroads having a total capitaliza tion and bonded Indebtedness of $10,365,071, 833, or more than 55 per cent of the total capitalization and bonded Indebtedness of nil rail roads ?18,417l.132,238 and that tho influence so gained is sufficient to control tho policy of those roads In favor of the steel corporation. C. That through a system of Inter locking directorates tho steel corpor ation controls tho groat banks In two of the hreo central depository cities of, the country Now York und Chi-, pago and Is in a position to dom inate the affairs of Industrial and public utility -corporations (Express, telophone, and street rallroud com panics) huving u capitalization and bonded Indebtedness of over f 4,000, 000,000. 7. That It pprphuscd Immunity from prosecution through contribu tions to Republican, campaign funds, 8, That tho panic of November, 1907, was promoted practically for tho single purpose' of enabling tho United States , Steel Cprporatlop to absorb'' tho Teunesseo Coal & Iron Company, a concern In splendid fi nancial condition which had practic ally a monopoly of the red ores of tho Uirmlnghum district, which had recently secured an order for 157,500 'tons of open-hearth rails from the Harrlman Lines, and which was con trolled by a syndicate of business men who had purchased it as a per manent investment and were rapidly improving tho property; that Presi dent Roosevelt permitted this viola tion of tho Sherman Anti-Trust Act at the behest of J. P. .Morgan & Com pany. 9. That at the very time tho Payne-Aldrlch Law was being enacted at Washington for the alleged pro tection of American labor, the Steel Corporation's subsidiaries were ad vertising at Pittsburg for Slavs, Rou manians, etc 10. That tho Steel Corporation has driven the labor unions from every mine, mill and blast furnace controlled by It, and from tho graln-and-ore carrying vessels of the great lakes. 11. That it sells stcol products abroad for much less than to domes tic. trade.. Ralls which cost less, than $12 ton to produce are sold to Ameri cans for $28 a ton, and to foreigners us low as $20. The samo ratio holds for structural steel in all its forms. FISH, GAME AND FRUIT GO UP IN FLAMES LOS ANGELES, Cal Sept. 21.
