Yours very truly, W. W. Hoover, Executor of the estate of W. R. Popplewell SALflON FISH1NQ. How the Chinook Used to Rush up the Willamette. A.Magone, of Magone's Park, who was born and raised on the banks of the Wil lamette river, beiow Oregon City, and has fished in the river ever since he was large enough to row a boat , recently gave out some pointers about salmon fishing below the falls. A number of years ago, hesaid.itwas nothing unusual for the fishermen to catch all the fish every night that they could handle, and the business was better than a gold mine or supplies for the army. In those days available spot on the Columbia from the mouth of the Willamette down, was not covered with nets to entangle the festive Chinook on his trip up stream, and thousands of salmon reached the Clack amas river. Then a few expert fisher men had all the grounds to themselves for several miles below the falls, but now everybody fishes for every salmon that is caught is snapped up at once by anxious buyers, who .come up from Portland in launches and other craft. In 1889 Magone and his companions built a dam across the mouth of the Clackamas and made from $75 to $200 per night per man in a few days, when the water raised and swept their dam. away. March had been a dry month and the water was low and when the sea son began on the 1st of April they fasten ed a stringer across the river and placed upright pieces from the stringers to the bottom ot the river close enougn togetner to keen the salmon from cettine through. Their nets were placed in position and the way they caught salmon was a caution. Two men were kept busy dur ing the day watching the dam to prevent the fish from breaking through. Oc casionally a salmon would lunge with such force against an upright piece that it was broken and had to be replaced. Magone is having great success now catching crawfish in the Willamette by means of traps. Several professional crawfishers from Portland are working in the same vicinity. The crawfish are larger than those found in the small streams. The backwater from the Colum bia stops the run of salmon up the Wil lamette about the last of June. f . FLAQ RAISED. The People of flilwaukie Remember the Volunteer Boys. On Friday evening the loyal citizens of Milwaukie erected a flagpole 98 feet in length, in honor of its soldier boys who have gone to Manila. On Saturday night the second half of this patriotic programme was carried out. A few pre liminary remarks were made by R. Scott, and the singing of patriotic selections succeeded. The programtaewas started with a song, "True ratnots, Dy trie Liiee uiuo. Miss Sadie James recited "The Busty Sword." The Ladies quartet sang, "Un der the Lead of Old Glory." Miss Pearl Stryker sang " Union b orever, ana Miss Eva Scott ablv recited "Turned Down." Then came the raising of the old town flag, which was raised the first time over the little village in I8bi. xnis is one oi the oldest flags in the state. While Old Glory was being steadily raised by six of the young ladies, cheer after cheer and hats and cants went in the air in honor of those who have gone to the front to fight. The platform was then filled with young ladies, who sang "nag oi tne Free." George 0. Brownell delivered the ad dress of the evening. REALITY TRANSERS.

Bean to lln Kind You Ham Always Bougtt o Btantb ftgostan f .STO It Kind Haw Hlwaji Bought PRINCESS VICTORIA. Iha Simple Life of England's Queen In Her Childhood Days. James Cassidy has written for St. Nicholas an article on the ' 'Girlhood Days of England's Queen," in the course of which he says: There was an occupation in which the wee woman of seven years, wearing a simple white gown and large straw hat, was frequently seen engaged. It was watering the garden plants. One of those who saw her said that as he sometimes watched her intently at work he wondered which would get the most water, the plants or her own little feet. '- The princess v?aS ah early riser, get ting up at 7, frequently earlier in the tunmier, and breakfasting at 8 o'olock. Her breakfast was just such as any well cared for little girl who was not a princess might be expected to enjoy, bread and milk and fruit, placed on a small table by her mother's side. When breakfast was finished, the lit tle princess went for a walk or a drive, while her half sister, Feodore, her al most constant companion, studied with her governess. From 10 to 13 the duch ess instructed 'Drina, after which she was at liberty to wander at will through the rooms, or to play with her many costly toys. Two o'clock was the dinner hour of the princess, though the luncheon hour of the duchess. Plain food, nioely cooked, was placed before the little girl, and she did it justice, for she was healthy and strong and enjoyed her meals. After dinner she received assist ance in her studies till 4 o'clock, when she was taken by her mother to visit a friend or perhaps to walk or drive, or she was peimitted to ride a donkey in the gardens. i At the dinner hour of the duchess her little girl supped, seated next to her mother. Then came a romp with her nurse, Mrs. Brock. By the time the romp was finished the house party would be at their dessert, and then the princess would be called in to join them. Nine o'clock was bedtime, and she never prolonged her day beyond that hour. No matter whether she was at home or at the house of a friend, "9 o'clock bedtime was rigidly enforoed. " Her little bed was placed beside her mother's larger bed, so that by day and night mother and daughter were never far apart. ' Regular study, regular exeroise, sim ple food and plenty of time out ot doors, plenty of play and plenty of sleep distinguished the upbringing of Eng land's future queen. '.. . , n :.. ' , First Duels In Italy. The first duels were fought in Italy, aocording to Millingen, who speaks of a manuscript discovered at Cassel and de scribes a duel between a father and a son in the reign of the Emperor Theod orio. When Charlemagne forbade wager of battle among the Lombards, he en countered the fiercest opposition from the nobles. Early in the ninth century De Medicis, a knight, defeated in single combat the bandit Mugel, who devastat ed the Florentine district now called after him, Mugello. Otho II granted the prayer of the nobility for the re establishment of wager of battle in 988. Women and priests were not compelled to accept it. The Normans showed less gallantry. With them a woman had to accept, nor could she name a champion. Her male opponent, however, was buried to his waist in the earth. Armed with a club, he tried to strike her as she cir cled around him, his weapon being a ball of iron at the end of a cord. If he failed to touch her at the third attempt, he was vanquished, which meant to him death with dishonor. Beocarin says that the reason so many duels were fought in Italy in the early days is that where the law does not af ford protection one must look to single combat to retain the respect of one's fellow men. Iu the middle ages the feroo ity of Italian duels passes belief. "Any way of putting an enemy to death ('ogni modo') is good enough," says one of their writers. "When an Italian spares his vanquished adversary," says Erantome, "he maims his arms and legs and gives him as a memento of his kindness and generosity a hideous gash across the face. " Lampagnano practiced on a painted model of Ualeuzzo Sforza before ho stabbed him. Dueling was called "la scienza cavalleresca. " Cornhill Magazine. Leigh ton's "Clmabne. ' In describing a visit paid to the late Lord Leighton, Mrs. Tooloy said that the artist on -that occasion referred to the success of his first picture of note, "Cimabue," and to the fact, which evi dently still pained him, that his next picture, "Orpheus," was greatly rid iculed. "Where Is the picture now?" he was asked. "Don't I wish 1 knewl" be replied. "It would be worth a fortune to me at the present time. " And that was all the reference he made to it The curious part of the incident, how ever, liea in the fact that after his death the canvas of this very picture was discovered rolled up and thrown away in the coal cellar.

Bis Gentle Reproof In Reply to General Hunter's Ugly Letter. Another remarkable evidence of the great kindliness of heart of Abraham Linoolu has been brought to light iu the form of a long lost letter which the martyred president wrote to Genoral Daniel Hunter in 1861. General Hunter was in command of the department of Kansas at the time this particular letter was written. It seems he considered himself dishonored by an appointment to the rather ob scure military post, and he wrote to the president protesting against it. Lin coln's characteristic) reply was as fol lows : , EXKfUTTIVE MANBION, I Washington, Deo. 81, 1801. f Major General Hunter: Dear Sir Yours of the 28d is received, and I am constrained to say it is difficult to answer so ugly a letter in good tempor. I am, as you intimate, losing much of the great confidence I placed in you, not from any act or commis sion of yours touching the publio Bervice up to the time you were sent to Leavenworth, but from the flood of grumbling dispatches an let ters I have seen from you since. I knew you were being ordered to Leavenworth at the time it was done, and I aver that, with as ten der a regard for your honor and your sensi bilities as 1 had for my own, it never occurred to me that you were being "humiliated, in sulted and disgraced," nor have 1 up to this day heard any intimation that you have been wronged coming from any one but yourself. No one has blamed ypu for the retrograde movement from Springfield, nor for the infor mation you gave General Ciimeron, and this you could readily understand if it were not for your unwarranted assumption that the or dering to Leavenworth must necessarily have been done aa a punishment for some fault. I thought then, and I think yet, the position as signed to you is as responsible and as honor able as that assigned to Buell I' know that General McClellan expected more important results from it. My impression is that at the time you were assigned to the new western department it had not been determined to re place General Sherman in Kentucky, but of this I am not oertain, because the idea that a command in Kentucky wns very desirable, and one in the farther west undesirable, had never occurred to ma. You constantly speak of be lng placed in command of only 8,000. Now, tell me, is not this mere impatience? Have you not known all the while that you are to coin Hand four or five times that many? ,. I have been and am sincerely your friend, and if as such 1 dare to make a suggestion 1 would say yci are adopting the best possible way to ruin yourself. "Act well your part. There all the honor lies. " He who does some thing at the head of one regiment will eclipse him who does nothing at the head of 100. Your friend as ever, ' A. Lincoln Nothing could have been better cal culated to alloy the feelings of personal wrong which must have possesMd Hunter at the time. That he thought so himself is shown by the following words, written by the dissatisfied gen eral on the big yollow envelope in which the letter had been sent: "The president's reply to my, 'ugly letter. ' This lay on his table a month after it was written, and when finally sent was by a special conveyance, with the direction that it was only to be given to me when I was in a good hu mor. "New York Sun. A Novel Bridge at Rouen. This novel engineering work is called a"pont transbordeur" and is designed to fulfill all the purposes of a bridge, while it will offer no obstruction to the passage of ships with towering masts. On each side of the river will be erected a small Eiffel tower, about 170 feet in height, and those towers will be Joined at the top by a latticework bridge upon which lines of rails will be laid. On these rails will run a skeleton platform, which can be pulled from side to side by the agency of steam or electricity, From this platform, which will be 100 foot above the quays, will depend steel wire ropes, which will support at the level of the river banks a slung carriage large enough to accommodate a tram car full of passengers, besides other vehioles. It is intended that this novel form of bridge shall be in connection with the tram system at both sides of the river, so that passengers can be carried across the river without leaving their seats iu the cars. The work of building the tow ers has already been commenced, and it is expected that the bridge will be open for traffio iu 18 months' time. It is said that the only contrivance bearing any resemblance to this "pout transbor deur" is in operation at Bilbao. Cham bers' Journal. The Colored Deacon's Figurative Prayer.
