Movement on Foot to Get Money Con certed to Different Channels. La Grande fishermen are deeply In terested in the movement Inaugurated by Portland fishermen . to ; procure needed legislation looking toward the betterment of existing fishing laws. Speaking of the movement now on foot a Portland paper relates: " Several hundred local anglers, de siring to get together all fishermen who are interested In the two new laws that will go before the legisla ture to be passed have decided to call a meeting of the sportsmen in the convention hall of the Commercial cluh building Thursday evening at 8 o'clock. ' The bill authorizes the; State Game Warden to establish and maintain trout hatcheries In several parts of the state, says a Portland paper. : , y i This bull is being ' deeply studied by anglers, and they have many dif ferent opinions as to Its reading. It is expected at the meeting to get to gether and find the general opinion and see whether an agreement can be reached, ' whereby, a satisfactory proposition will be made and laid be fore the members of the legislature at the coming session. ,. , The law compelling sportsmen to pay an annual .fee for the privilege of easting In the Oregon streams has been la. 'force for several years'and according to its reading, the money thus received was to go toward the establishing of hatcheries. Most peo ple understand the law to mean that the money Is to be used in the propa gation of fish, but the Attorney-General of the state has rvled that the reading Is to cover natural propaga tlon only. 1 v - The money received for licenses ANGLERS SEEK IPROilENIS cleamnge; : in vOmc ana iLxcimine vjuaiity and Prices: v before buying LJ 0) J 1 1 o) Lk L J.

The new'law reads that no fishing, will be allowed below the suspension bridge except with hook and line. The bill would also limit the anglers to five salmon a, day.

I have heard It argued that the equator of the earth was as high as the North Pole; but for my own part can't see through it. Would you please answer In The Oregonian? ' , ! FINLAY M'BETH. Height can be measured only when the base or foot of the thing or things to , be measured are given. Strictly speaking, neither the equator nor the North Pole has helghth. ' The equator is an Imaginary line belting the earth equidistant between the Poles and the name of the point on the earth's surface designating the extremity of the earth's axis. From the center of the earth every direction is up. As the earth Is slightly flattened at the Poles the distance from the center to the surface at the equator is greater than the distance from the center to the surface at the North Pole. In this sense the equator may be said to be higher than the North Pole. When "height" Is used as a syno nym for "altitude" the measurement is upward from sea level. .We are told by Peary that the North Pole is lo cated In the Artie Ocean. The equa tor crosses both land and sea and the Imaginary line therefore Is at' times at greater altitude than the Pole. Portland Oregonian.

Ends January 31 E IS PATENT ARRANGEMENT NOW AT TACHED TO BRANCH EM,tK. lifts and Falls With Air Frcswe to Cut Awuy lice and Snow. That new flange snow plow patent which has been Inaugurated on ihe O-W is proving very popular on the branch line. Both branch line engines Nos. 175 and 176, are both supplied with the patent arrangement. No. 176 made Its first trip out today with the attachment on It. The device operates with air and can be dropped so that It cuts snow and ice away on both sides of the rail and leaves a clear track for the wheels. The usual snow t plow on the pilot strikes the larger drifts and the patent . arrangement which fits to the engine just behind the main pilot arrangement, i1scs and drops with air when occasioc mands it It is believed the device will be very satisfactory when Ice. torms on the rails. : I had been troubled with constipation for two yean and tried all oi the bnl physi cians in Bristol, Tenn., nd they could do nothinR for me," write llir. 1!
