NEW FISH WABDBN v
ADDRESSES THE PEOPLE
II. C. McAllister entered upon bis
duties of t:ite fish warden May 2 and
has issued H stateutent in which he
taken an optimistk- view of the situa
tion regarding fishing in Oregon wa
ters, llu makes the following .state
ment: "Having been uppointed master war
den by the board of fish commissioners
of tho state, will gay that 1 will be
the friend of everv niau engaged in the
business, and I want every man's
friendship,- by resjeetiug the fishing
laws of the slate to the letter, which
I shall enforce as I find them. I shall
aim to conduit the office on un impar
tial basis and at all times will respect
the rights of all the in emu the industry,
regardless of whether or nut they are
3Ti the upper or lower river, I want
the support of every man in the busi
ness us well ns the Washington com
missioner and the men iu charge of the
United States fishery department.
"Working in harmony, I believe,
within a reasonable time, that instead
of a 30CMKM ease pack, wo can increase
it to J.OOD.UOO cases. I intend to lo
cate my office iu Portland, having, ho
cured quarters in the Oregonian build
ing, room 42, and will deem it n favor
if tho canners. or anyone engaged in
the business, will give me any infor
mation or suggestion that will help me
to conduct the office in uu intelligent
manner. L shall ' also appreciate any
information regarding tho negligeilee of
any officer holding a posit iou under me.
I want every man in the state to. send
me every possible item that may lead
to the upbuilding of the fishing indus
try, for only through a united effort
can we expect to obtain results uf mu
tual benefit. "
FREIGHT BATES TO BE
BOOSTED BY RAILROADS
PROHIBITION EXEMPLIFIED
IN RABBITVTLLE
The linbbitville correspondent of The
Pullcs Optimist writes to his newspaper
thus:
"The city drug store again calls at
tention to tho fact that it deplores the
necessitry of saying anything more on.
tho temperants question, but there-, is
sum in our midst who seems disposed
to vote Jiabbitville wet, which would
give us mebbe 2 or It viul saloons, aud
our most respectable drug storo, whore
men, .wimmen and even little children
can go day and nite for all sorts of
temperants drinks, without being point
ed to with skorn as they wood be if
they even approached a vial saloon,
lust see how nice we are getting along.
Nobody is suffering from a un
quenched thirst, for enny thirst can bo
took care of by the perscription clerk
f the city drug store. What wood a
nloou. dp for usf It wood give us
cocUtnles and fiw.es and Mamie Tay
lors mebbe, but what better be tlioy
nor our paloirses? The ingreedients is
the saim, only mebbe shook up a little
different. The foundation is tho same
for all, good pure likkor. But look at
the difference between going into a
vial saloon awl buying a eocktalo and
going into u .Lightened, first-class drug
store, with respectable peepul, and swnl
lering a palotiser! There ain't no ar
gument to it, not a shad dor, and yet
sum fokes say they want the saloons
so to get the licenses inunney! For
Shaiui! Such money wood be the price
of Sin and (lilt aud wood do our fare
city no good. Blood inunney leaves its
trail of blood after it nt all times. No,
dearly beloved Christian brothers, wake
up a ud vote f or d rug st ores and re
spectability and against the vial saloon.
TRAIN AUDITORS TO
ASSIST CONDUCTORS
Advices have been received by rail
road officials from the head office of
the Tlan'initin system in Chicago to tlie
effect that, after July 15 train agents
will probably bo dispensed with on nil
tin ITarriman trains, The matter has
long been debated by tho railroad of
ficials, and it is now practically de
cided to do away with train agents and
in their Jdnee to substitute train audit
ors. Train agents were employed to re
lieve tho work of the conductor. On
big trains it wns claimed that the coii:
ductor had to much work and the
train agents were to assist him by
going through the train in advance and
seeing to it that each passenger had
bis proper ticket.
The trainmen argued that even with
traia agents too much work still fell
upon the conductors. They said that
n conductor, who was responsible for
the train, might be taking up tickets
and run past n signal which might re
sult in an accident chargeable to him,
while in reality he was nt tending to
his duty all the time.
If the new rule jfocs into effect, con
ductors will be relieved of all work
concorniiig the tickets and will only bo
responsible for t he t ni i n. The train
auditors will attend solely fn the mat-t-
r of tickets.
MORE PAY FOB LEGISLATURE
MEANS MORE EXTRAVAGANCE
An organized attempt by eastern ruil
vance of freight rates has aroused wide- '
spread alarm and protest. While no!
opeu action has been taken in the Pa
cific northwest in opposition to, the
movement, Oregon commercial bodies
and shippers have not been inactive,
and u determined resistance to the
raise is being organized.
The eastern railroad presidents re
cently came into the open uml have de
clared that they will carry the proposed
increase into effect, aud that the inter
state commerce commission and the
state railroad commissions will be ow
erless to prevent it. The movement has
reached a stage where an outburst of
popular indignation is spreading over
tho country. Commercial interests are
forming combinations to exert tho unit
ed influences of the country s business
men against -the advance of rates.
RICH POCKET POUND
ON WILLIAMS CREEK
In. response to highly roseate rumors
that u rich gold strike had been made
over on Williams creek, above the
Hriggs ranch, n couple of automobiles
were chartered at Grants Pass, says the
Courier, aud a party went out to inves
tigate tho discovery. While not as rich
as reported, the discovery may eventu
ally develop into one of the best in Jo-s-
phine county. The strike was made
on the hill .just back of the Oregon Bo
nanza mine, about a mile and a half
from John Miller's store. It was made
by Harrison brothers, old-time miners,
ami Jones brothers, owners of the mar
ble quarries.
The Joneses had found a truce of the
discovery nud offered tho Harrisons a
half interest if they would loeato the
vein, which they did. Tho Harrisons
have struck a number of good pockets
ami reeeutly took out, as near us can
be learned, between $3000 and $5000.
A VERSATILE FORGER
IS HUNTED BY SHERIFF
Sheriff ftusscll of Josephine county,
who was in this section one day Inst
week, was in search of a fellow calling
himself Wyndhurst, who secured $25
from a Grunts Pass merchant on a bo
gus check, but ho had flows. Wynd-
hurst, alias Edwards, has been posing
among tho citizens of foots creek and
Woodville districts as the representa
tive of much eastern capital and had
bonds on n number of farms, and also
upon the Woodville hotel. He had se
cured money from some of them also.
He is a man about 40 years of age, of
light complexion and wore a light suit
of clothes, with tan shoes.
SINGLE TAX AMENDMENT
INTERESTS OREGON GRANGE
"When tho Oregon State Grango con
venes nt Eugene, Thursday, May 14, im
portant action will be taken by the
organization with reference to tho pro
posed single tax an endmeuts which
eomo up in tho June. elections. At the
last session of the grnnge held at Hood
Hiver a committee was appointed to
investigate the question of taxation
and secure data from tho tax laws. This
committee will make a report, and this
is expected to have a material effect
on tho vote next month, as the grang
ers are a powerful political factor in
the rural districts of the state.
VROMAN SAWMILL
DESTROYED BY FIRE
The sawmill located on Morrison
creek. Meadows precinct, was destroyed
last Wednesday. Tin fire occurred at
noon, while the employes were at din
ner. It had been the habit to burn the
refuse sawdust aud .shavings near the
mill, and during the prevailing winds
of that day o fire had been started,
When it was discovered the flames had
got beyond all control. There was no
insurance, the loss amounting to about
.flHlHHI.
lr. C. Vroinan had recently purchased
the mill from W. L. McClure and had
been at n big expense getting ready for
the season 's. run. It will not be re
built, Havs the Cold Hill News.
'PROHIBITION AND YOUTH"
AS IT IS IN ALBANY
A news dispatch from Albany says
that 'it is no uncimmon sight to see
youths of immature years intoxicated
on the streets of AJbany,'- Jf this is
true, it conclusively proves one thing
that a new set of prosecuting offiers is
needed preoty badly up there. What
ever one may think of the saloon
question and of the effectiveness of
prohibition in general, there can bo no
room for doubt that when it is a com
moii sight to see immature youths in
toxicated upon the street of a "dry"
town (hero is gross dereliction of duty
somewhere. Oregonian.
MARRIED.
One nt the strongest arguments
against an increase of pay of members
of the legislature from a day to $10
a day is that it would breed a spirit
of extravagance. There would be a
tendency to raise the compensation of
nil officers and employes of the legis
lature, including the clerks and stenog
ra pliers, in n corresponding degree.
Theft wnitt.! he n trrr;tter readiness to
increase salaries of county and stale)
officers and to enlarge the force of of-
firinis and assistants bevond the needs
of the public service. We shall get just
ns goo men iu the legislature with com
xnation nt :i n day ns we would if
the pay were $10 n day, nnd the serv
ice rendered would nit t'.t improved by
an inererwe in t diem. Nnndny Oregonian.
