HS anchored about where the bay bridge now touches land on, the San Francisco side, and the padres came off from the mission to meet him. Soon word of" his presence reached Monterey, capital of Alta California, and the governor came overland to Wel come the Russian visitors. He was accompanied by an of ficial party. The official party In cluded wives and daughters. The upshot of It was a series of gay patries that ran on through the days and the nights and the weeks. It sounds hard hearted, but the captain and his crew, recovering their health quickly on a diet of California's fruits and vegetables, seem to have forgotten temporari ly their scurvy-ridden comrades up in Sitka. JUDGING by what has come down to us In the old chron icles, there has perhap .novtirj been a period more socially glanin orous than Spanish California', tf was equalled by the Old South In Ihe half century preceding the Civil War, but apparently not ex celled. Both were steeped In the ro mance tjiat accompanies a feudal civilization In languorously de licious climates. a WE must'nt forget that these Idyllic, feudal, aristocratic civilizations, all down through the world, seem to have been found ed on human slavery In some Jnrm or other. :It was so In Athens. The his torians tell us that In the Athens ot Pericles every CITIZEN was competent to rule the state. We are less Impressed by that state ment when we stop ot think that the CHEATER PAUT of that population was a SLAVE popula tion. Only the freemen were citi zens. The slaves did the work. The citizens had the fun; .So It was In Ihe romantic, pre war Amrrlmn South. The black slaves did the work. The white masters lived Ihe Idyllic life. ; And so It was In Spanish Call fornia. The semi-slave native In fKans performed the labor and their Spanish masters enjoyed the gay parties. IV time, however, the Russian captain of the ship remember ed his countrymen- In scurvy In fested Sllka, loaded his vessel with Ihe fruits and the lush vege tables of tho great valleys and turned his prow homeward, ar riving In time to save those who were still alive. OUT of this excursion, It Is In teresting to recall, arose an odd but for Its day and time a considerable commerce. The next- Russian ship to head for California carried a cargo of ICE from Ihe foot of Ihe mighty Taku clavier. This Ire Vas ex changed for Ihe wheat of the Sacramento and the Sun Joaquin Valleys, which was can li d hack 1o Sitka and ground on the ntnnr mills the Russian had set up and the Hour In its turn was t.iKen back to San Francisco b,iy and exchanged lor more agricultural ptcxlutv of Ihe rich California toil. ' This trade was welcomed by (he padirs, w ho had no mechani cal skills and whose Indian serv ants had hitherto ground the wheat ill rude Motlc nmilais.

The new order permits a limit of one fish per day and two fish in any seven consecutive days to be taken from the main Umpqua River and from the North Umpqua as far upstream as The Narrows at Idleyld. A sanctuary Is provided between the highway bridge and the power dam at Winchester. The season, which opens Jan. 1, will close May 31. While sportsmen doubtless will feel that the limitation is unnecessarily drastic, there is sound basis for emergency measures to protect the npriiig; Chinook run, Which has be come seriously depleted. Upriver sportsmen recognized this fact when they voluntarily urged upon the Game Commis sion a curtailment in bag limit to three fish per day, or an equal number of fish in any seven consecutive clays. The commission proposed complete closure of spring Chi nook salmon fishing upon basis of a report and recommen dations compiled jointly by biologists from the game de partment and the fish department. For information of per sons not familiar with the. Oregon set-up, it should be ex plained that angling is controlled by the Game Commission, while the commercial fishery is under supervision of the fish Commission. The legislature two years ago instructed the commissions "with their staffs and such additional personnel as may be necessary," to conduct a study of Oregon coastal streams south of the Columbia River and "together" bring in a report to the forty-fourth legislature. This study was started on the Umpqua River late in 1915. Findings cover one full year. The report of the biologists has appeared in preliminary form, but still is in process of final revision before being submitted to the legislature. We believe the Game Commission has erred in several respects with relation to the report, and, more particularly, in using the report, as a basis for regulations of the sport fishery, pending further study of the findings and applica tion of those findings to recommendations for management of the river for the best interest of the greatest number oi people. While the legislature directed that the commissions sub mit a joint report, it did not necessarily mean that the report must show the commissions nor their biologists to be in agreement on matters of policy. The commissions, however, assumed that they must reach accord, and the report, therefore, appears in the nature of a compromise. The biologists are not to be criticized, for they were defi nitely limited by the wording of the act under which the study was made. The legislature specified that they should '!'Ou.lider ateelheads as having primary value as mgiimc .T W j ... i. , i . .. . i!4ii, -nun finimon, snao antt siripea oass as having primary value as food fish." IJut another clause slating "that their recommendations shall be for tho purpose of conserving all species for the greatest value to the greatest number of people for the greatest length of time," ojiens the way for presentation to the legislature of honest differences of opin ion between tho two commissions. The report in its present form, following directions con tained in the law to treat salmon as a food fish, approaches the study from the angle of preserving the commercial fish ery. It does not attempt to point out what wo believe to be an obvious fact that the Umpqua River is potentially more valuable to the "greatest number of people for the greatest length of time," if maintained strictly for recreational rather than commercial fishing. We believe it evident that the Umpqua River cannot support both recreational and commercial fishing. It can, however, with proper management, become an outstanding sports stream. It is our opinion that the report soon to be presented to tho legislature is not complete. The act directs that the commissions "with their staffs, etc." shall bring in a report. The staffs the biologists have prepared their report but wo ha? heard of no recommendations by the commissions. Yet it would seem that the legislature expects the commis sions to make known their opinions. Naturally, those opin ions would be divergent, but the art does not, as we inter pret it, prevent differences of opinion, despite the fact that the commissions are charged with bringing in a report "together." The Game Commission, we believe, would be justified in recommending to the legislature that the Umpqua 'River fisheries resource be used exclusively for recreational fith ing. The Fish Commission, in turn, would be expected to urge maintenance vf a commercial fishery. The legislature then would have available arguments and opinions from both sides, together with factual data gathered by biolo gists and would lie in a better position to adopt corrective legislation. S.F. Hill-Climbing Cable Cars Must Quit. Mayor Says SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 28. fV Mayor Roger D. Lapham said yesterday that the lntle old cable cars, which have boosted' civic pride as high as the hills they've clattered up for more than half a century, must ba re placed by modern transportation. Sentimental San Franciscans who so long have prized their dis tinctive hillside transit will ob ject, the mayor told the board of supervisors in his annual report. Hut sentimentalists, said Lap ham, "do not have to pay the bills and do not have to run the risk of being charged with crimi nal negligence in the very pos sible event a cable breaks and a car gets loose on any of our steel hills." The issue of replacing or re. taining Ihe system, which at the outset was hailed as an ingenious triumph over the horse-drawn car and the force of gravity, has divided San Franciscans into two camps for years. The miniature cars, operated by "gripmen" and towed by a cable sunk between the tracks, have been advertised like the Golden Oaie bridge to the tourist trade. They are a prime subject for amateur photographers, and artists have done them in oils many times. Today the city has only 38 cable ears operated on Sacramento. Powell, Washington and Jackson streets. A private company operates another cable line. The oldest of the city's cars have been clamboring up San Francisco's steepest hills for 54 vears. The youngest were built 41 years ago. 9 00 Alks (tltier Newt, Mllai La be. 9.

P The legislative Interim fisheries committee yesterday opposed con struction o more power and re clamation dams on the Columbia Kiver until present dams are utilized to their full capacity, and opposed some phases of the -Willamette Valley Hood control and power project. The commission added that ad ditional power dams might not be needed at all in view ot the devel opment ol atomic energy. The commission said that no dam can be built without hurt ing fisheries, and said that even though Bonneville dam has the finest system known for raising fish over the dam by use of lad ders and elevators, it still has caused great loss to fisheries. It opposed McNary dam, assert ing it would cause even more fishing loss than Bonneville. The committee, taking note of the argument that more dams are needed because of the power shortage, said 12 more generators can be installed at Grand Coulee and six more at the Kock Island dam, near Wenatchee, Wash. "Talk of an imminent power shortage unless more dams are built seems to the fisheries people to be In the nature of propagan da." the committee said. It also attacked the argument that more dams are needed for reclamation, asserting "not one acre of the more than 1,000,000 acres under Grand Coulee has yet been reclaimed." On the subject of atomic en ergy, the committee said that in Ihe near future "Giant dams as a source of Industrial power may become obsolete. Two Projects Diverted The committee said it endorses the principles of the Willamette project, and said its fights against the proposed dams in the Mc Kenzie and South Santiara rivers apparently has been successful, since the U. S. Army engineers have adopted plans for alternate dams in tributaries. Tho committee still is opposed to the North Santlam dam, but it said protests will cease be cause the dam has been author ized and some appropriation made lor it. It win continue to tight, the committee said, against the plan for the high dam at Merid ian, asserting it would "forever shut off the stream above for migrating fish." The committee said It will seek legislative approval for Oregon to enter with Washington and California for a compact to con trol offshore fisheries, and spon sor a bill to give the state fish commission power to have more regulation over fishing seasons. uiiigwa at Five.

(JPl Senator McMahon (D-Conn.) said yesterday he "suspects Rus sia Is developing an atomic fis sion plant" In the Ural moun tains while American and Soviet officials are debating plans for worldwide atomic control and dis armament. The former chairman of the special congressional committee on atomic energy added in a speech In the Senate that this country must "swap atomic know ledge for atomic control" imme diately or face eventual destruc tion by the awesome new weap on. McMahon, who three months ago proposed a compromise con trol plan designed to get raound Russia's Insistence upon the righ of veto, pleaded anew for its acceptance, declaring: "It is in the interest of our own security, to get inspectors be hind the high walls now so that we may know what is going on now, before it becomes possible for us to be shocked into aware ness by the sudden explosion of an atomic bomb in our midst. "Today we have no way of know ing what other countries are doing about atomic weapons or how far they have advanced. But this much we do know: Other na tions are working night and day on the problem. So long as we do not have exact knowledge, we be come prey to fear and suspicion."
