AT THE fLSn HATCHERY
A. D. Allen, superintendent of the
Wailowa river fish hatchery, was in
Elgin the fore part of this week. Mc.
Allen is well satisfied with his work thus
far at the hatchery and is very enthusi
astic as to the future outlook. A few
days ago he 'liberated 1,000,000 young
fish in the Wallowa river that were from,
an inch to two inches long. He still re
tains another 1,000,030 in the hatchery
building and will keep these for several
weeks yet. This is indeed a very good
showing and the work of this hatchery
under Mr. Allen's supervision has a
bright future. The state of Oregon has
appropriated several thousand dollars
with which to carry on this work and it
seems that the money is being well spent.

DEATH Of MISS ROBINSON IN flllNA
Mrs. Helen R. Walker, of East.ienue
received the Intelligence on Tue4jV by
cable, of the death of her aisterrlvliss
Mary Robinson, at Chinkiang, China.
Miss Robinson had been ill for several
weeks with pleurisy, which terminated in
pneumonia, causing her fleath last week,
the actual date not being mentioned.
Miss Robinson was a teacher in mis
sion School, under the Methodist Board
and had been in China for 22 years.
Mrs. Walker knew of her serious illness,
but was hopeful, as were her co-laborers
that she. might be spared to come
this country for a rest and to recuDerate,
Mrs. Walker was planning to meet her
in California and together remain there
Until strength was restored.' The news
oi ner death has come to her, therefore,
as a sad blow, as they were deeplvtKtt
tached to one another, and her f r&ttt
letters were a great comfort and pleasure
to Mrs. Walker.
Miss Robinson's whole heart was
her work, that of educatinor and christian
izing young Chinese women, and her wish
was gratified that she might live and die
among them and be faithful to the cause
S3 loved. She was a very capable, ac
complished women, and her loss to the
School is incalcu'ble, Besides Mrs.
Walker she is survived by two brothers.
