Another installment of marked
salmon have been turned into the
Columbia, and in 1905 and 1906
should reappear in the river. The
latest batch of marked fry was
batched at ihe Chinook plant by
Superintedent Hansen, and a V
sbaped piece has been cut out o'
the tail of each. Four thousand
of the little fish were thus marked.
The turning out of this install
ment of marked salmon will show
some interesting results. It is esti
mated that the number of hatchery
fish' to be turned out this year in
the plants located on the Columbia
and its tributaries will exceed
50,000,000. This estimate includes
the lish propagated artificially by
the Hates of Oregon and Washing
ton, and by the United State Fish
Commission, which operates three
hatcheries in the Columbia River
district. It bus been impossible
as yet to et accurate statements
from the various hatchery superin
tendents, but there is no reason to
believe that the output of the
plants this year will be below that
of last your, when more than
SO.OOOXX) little ti.sh were brought
into life at the hatcheries.
If SO.O'HJ.OOO salmon are turned
out in all, there will be one marked
liidi in every 12,500. However,
some millions of the fry will be
stevlheads and silverheacls. as wdi
as bitiebneks, so allowance must
be made for these varieties. When
the hatchery tupcnutendents all
filo iiecuiate rc oi ti-," tlm exact
number of each Variety turned out
will be mailable, and then it wi,l
la: possible to estimate to a certain
ly the number o' chinnook tibh
placed in the water. Doubtless
the number will be in the neigh
borhood of 15,000,000, which would
mean that one salmon out of every
3750 was marked, liy this method
of computation it will be possible
to estimate the number ot lm, cil
ery lish taken, as marked are not
any more likely to return in
greater proportion than unmarked
fry.
In past years, when marked fish
returned to the river ' estimates
of the number of hatchery fish
returning were thus arrived at,
and the showing was a wonderful
one. It was evident from this
figuring practically the entire
catch was hatchery salmon. The
result of the present experiment
will be awaited with interest.
LimHi- Smaller Than Heportod.
E. G. Wasou an Everett lumber
man, connected with Clough Bros.
Company, is in the city. He has
been on an extended trip through
Southern Washington, and also to
i the Rogue River country since the
recent big fires. He bad this to
say about the extent of timber
losses:
"I do not think there has been
any where near as great loss to
timber as has been reported in the
press. Up home we thought every
body had been cleaned out, and
that timber operators were greatly
cnppieu. X nave seen most 01 me
country west of the Cascades, a
far south as Rogue River, and es
pecially iu the Olympic tegion,
1 and I do not think (hero has been
! any great loss to standing timlter,
1 unless it is up in the Cowlitz. I
i went well over -several miles of
ground in the Cowlitz region and
1 did not eie the losses that have
been described there, l am talk
ing about the standing timber.
There have been large losses of cut
timber where the logs were exposed
to dry material in the logging
works, without a doubt. The fact
is that there is mighty little good
standing timber but what the
undergrowth is so dense and green
that it is impossible for fires to get
going enough to kill timber. It
hag no doubt occured that fires
have burnt dead timber in among
the green trees, and the appear
ances, from smoke and flames run
ning up such trees, would be that
the whole tract was doomed. I
have seen miles and miles of that
kind of timber right in thesections
reported as having been swept
over. In such case the fire bus
really been a benefit, for it has
cleaned out the dead stuff, lessen
ing the liklihood for worse fires.
"I think you will find, when the
whole sitnrtion is known, that
green timber losses, on the west
side of the mountains, have been
comparatively small. On the
other side they amount to nothing
in my opinion, ihe woods there
are too open and clear for fin toie'er the other day when he drove
run. Immediately oil the ( nlum-'
bin river there has
been comidi r-
able standing timber ruined, and
immense lumber losses. But in
general I am sure tb.tt our Wash
ington and your Oregon standing
timber is comparatively safe.

The jury Teturncu verdict of
"not guilty" "Satuf'H'y afternoon,
at Grant's Vm, in the case of
State of Oregon vs. Calvin Griffin,
for killing Edwin Johnson, at
Waldo. The jury was out about
three hours. Every one acquaint
ed with the facts in the case feels
that the jury did right. Griffin
w is modestly receiving the con
g a. illations of his friends this
afternoon.
The evidence in the case that
weighed heavily in favor of Grilfin
was the fact that he. was backing
away from Johnson when the latter
was dealing him the blows in the
face that blackened Griffin's eyes
and broke his nose. The characte r
of the two men also carried much
weight in the rendering of the ver
dict. Johnson had the reputation
of being a bully and an all-around
bad man, and, as some of thu wit
nesses testified, was the acknowl
edged "terror of the community."
