Flah Commissioner WcOuIre has pre
pared a circular letter explaining, lor
the benefit of flsherrneu, the provis
ions of the now Oregon law. Among
them is one whioh requires that all gill
net boats must have tho gill-nut li

on white ground, not leas than four
inches in length, on the bow of the
boat. The numbers for boats will be
furnished frfe by the flah commis
sioner when license is issued. The
use of any boats or nets without the
license number Is striotly prohibited,
and subject the offender to heavy
penalty. Licenses sre good only in
the district for whioh issued. From
nd after January 1, 181)9, the license
law will be strictly enforced. Any per
tin fishing without a license ia subtest
to a fine of from 50 to 11000, and all
fishing appliances so used may be con
fiscated and sold for the benefit of the
batchcry fund.

of Judge Hears in deriding that all

where no contraot fur interest was

warrants should continue to drsw eight
per cent the legal rale at the lime of
their Issuance unhl paid. This de

Alslke clover is a valuable forage
Crop, and ean be prown to advantage

Many suggestions are being made
as to the needs of legislation for the
better protection of Oregon game birds,
nd, whilnstortsmeii differ as to minor
details, all are agreed that better laws

A bill has boon introduced In the
legislature to oreate another judicial
district to be forniud by dividing the
fifth, the distriot of which Columbia
county forms a part. For several years
it has been known that too much was
expected of the officials in this diatiict,
hence the desire to divide it. We have
not seen the bill, but naturally pre

counties will form one of the districts,

Win Bftffert came up from hit homo,
below Deer Island, Tuesday, with a
very oroao smile all over his counte
nance. When questioned as to the
cause ol Ills evident good humor be
replied by saying he bad jnat been suc
cessful In driving about 500,000 feet of
excellent fir logs out of Tidn creuk, and
the expectation of receiving fi or 0
per thousand for thorn McKinlev
prices was cause enough for anyone
to smile out loud. Tho rise in the
oreck, caused by the recent snow and
rain storm, was sufficient to drive everv
log out of the creek. Win says the
run was a grand success.

An indication of what a creamery
estttblised in Oregon meant to the
dairying interests is shown in an arti

Areata, California. It says that dur
ing the year ending October 1, the
amount of butter manufactured in Cut
ifornla showed a falling off of 10 per
cent, and large quantities were shipped
iu from the eastern states. The price
during the year averaged 23.9 ceots

from where 8,232,(110 pounds were ex

Interesting tietter from Special
Correspondent.
Balem, Or., Jan. 18. To the Editor.)
Notwithstanding tbe declaration of Gov
ernor Gear la his inaugural address last
wtiuk that no .grout amount of legislation
was needed at this session of the legislature,
a very largo number of bills are being Intro
duced in both tbe senate and bouse, and if
the ball of thorn should ever become laws,
the present code would have to be greatly
enlarged In the future. Judges and attor
neys would hare to spend a great i.eal of
time bocoinlng familiar with the new laws,
and the benefit to tbe state at large would
be very questionable.
It Is surprising to ses how many members
of each house feel responsible for the cure
of defects in present laws, or for the Intro
duction of some new measure that in their
opinion will benefit the stats and be known
as their bill. It looks as though the publi
cation of the names of member as the author
of certain bills is a notoriety most ear nestly
to bs desired, as Impressing on tbeir con
stituency and the general public the thought
tbat tbey ara doing work and earning both
salary and reputation.
' Be far the time of both .houses has been
mainly taken up In the introduction and
first reading of these bills, and In getting
these to the ofrlceof tbe slate printer, where
they are printed, and copies placed upon
tbs desk of each member to allow it to be
read and considered before coming up for
passage.
Bills for tbe assessment and collection of
taxes, for amending tbs road laws, for elec
tion of road supervisors by the people, and
others of general intsiest are coming from
so many quarters they will have to be re
ferred to proper committees for consolida
tion, revision, amendments, or burial, and
It is safe to predict tbat tbe burial process
will put a quietus on a large portion of them.
Tbere is. however, a recognized necessity
for slteration In our road laws, and a good
law oa tbe subject is likely to be passed.
There seems to be a pretty general senti
ment in favor of pryment of road taxes in
money and In favor of election of road
supervisors, both of which measures, it is
thought, will meet witb popular approval.
A bill tor an additional judge In our Ju
dicial district, consisting of four counties,
has been introduced by Senator Fulton.
Two bills for an opportunity for counties
to locate or relocate county seats have been
Introduced, and if either one becomes a law
It will do away with tbs necessity of intro
ducing a special bill for Columbia comity.
Tbete bills provide that on a petition of a
majority (over say five-eights) of the legal
voters of any county, tbe county court shall
order an election to locate a county seat.
Towns In tbe county may become candi
dates by filing with tbe oounty desk a peti
tion signed by about 25 voters, some 80 days
in advanoe of tbe time for election. If no
town gets a majority on tbs first ballot, a
subsequent election confined to tbe two
highest shall be held when the question
may be settled.
Ia the meantime Columbia county's rep
resentative Is ready to iutroduce a special
bill for the oounty, if necessary. He finds
it necessary to devote time in familiarizing
bluitelf with the various measures likely to
be voted on, ratber than devising and In
troducing new bills. It Is necessary at this
session to be prepared to head off doubtful
or dangerous legislation, and a representa
tive who will do that work faithfully will
best serve tbe people ha represents. Tbere
la a general feeling among tbe members of
a prospect of a pleasant session. "Z."
