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 -

now totals something like $50,000.
This Is available lor hatchery pur
poses and the anglers at the meeting
Thursday will try to frame a bill that
will be most satisfactory to all.
,The Becond law affects Multnomah
and Clackamas county streams par
ticularly. , It , is intended to regulate
fishing in; the Willamette River be
low the falls' at Oregon, City. 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. It would allow fish
ing any Jay in the year, however.
- Equator and Pole. ' '
Antelope, Or., Dec. 28. (To the Ed
itor.) 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.

That new flange snow plow patent
which has been Inaugurated on ihe

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

drifts and the patent . arrangement
which fits to the engine just behind
the main pilot arrangement, i1scs

be very satisfactory when Ice. torms
