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.

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.

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.

' , 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. "

LINCOLN'S CHIDING.
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

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
