A mass meeting was held in the county
court room of the court bouse Saturday
night, for the purpose of discussing the
proposition to organize a citizens' co
operative meat market. .About 200
persons were present, mostly employes
of the mills and factories. On February
1 the butchers of the city announced an
increase in the price of all meats of
from 1 cent to 6 cents on the pound.

livestock made this increase in the re
tail price necessary. But the customers
consider the prices exorbitant and un
reasonable and declare they cannot pay
them. Steaks that were 12 cents a
pound are now 15 and 18 cents, and all
other meats in proportion. It was de
cided to organize a joint stock company
with a capital of $2,000, at $5 a share ; to

minimum cost. A committee was np

State Fish Commissioner Reed has re
ceived a letter from W, O. Chase, of Til
lamook, stating that four steelheads had
been caught there with the dorsal fin
having been cutoff, and inquiring if any
steelheads had been so marked. Mr.
Reed says that the only steelheads that
have been marked this way to his
knowledge, were those taken at the
Salmon river hatchery in April, 19).
Thomas Brown was placed iu charge of
this hatchery early in the season to se
cure steelhead eggs. About 213,061 eggs
were obtained, and after the fish were
spawned, the fins were cut off and the
fish put fcack into the river. Judging
from the number of eggs that were taken,
there were about MO of these fish
marked and turned loose. Those found
at Tillamook are the only ones reported
as having been caught. Mr. Reed says
that, while there has neyer been any
doubt that the steelheads go up and
spawn and return to the ocean again,
this goes to show that they do not al
ways go into the same stream .
