Leighton Kelly, well known in the county seat and throughout Clackamas as one of the best friends the fish ever had, has been named master fish warden by the state fish and game commission. Mr. Kelly has an intimate knowledge of the habits and needs of fish, and it is believed by all who know him that he will prove an efficient and useful officer for the state. The appointment was given Mr. Kelly upon his merit, his name be ing selected over several others that were proposed. Incidentally the re cent attempt of a Portland daily pa per to discredit Mr. eKlly and his motives probably helped him to get the appointment. Carl Shoemaker, of Roseburg, was named as state game warden. R. E. Clanton, former master fish warden, has been made superintendent of hatcheries. MORE BOOZE FOUND City Engineer Beats Sheriff at Searching for Liquor Some weeks ago Sheriff Wilson and a horde of deputies went over to West Linn and raided the Jones candy store seeking illicit booze. They found several empty bottles that contained suspicious smells, but that was all. Last week City. Engineer Charles Miller went over to West Linn look ing for a corner stake from which to survey some levels. He failed to find the stake, but nicely hidden in the brush he found 2G quart bottles of good beer. Jones has already been tried and convicted on the charge of selling li quor, and the imported "sleuths'' who worked up the evidence, have de parted. This leaves City Engineer Miller alone in his glory. He re ported the find to Christian Schue bel, who prosecuted Jones, and now Chris is satisfied that the conviction he obtained was just. INTERPRETER WANTED Enterprise Editor Outdoes Thoes who "Speak With Tongues" On Friday, June 25 evidently an unlucky day our cheerful competi tor down the street produced among other things an editorial presumably about some fire-department. Here with are a few remarks from this masterpiece: "The department in ma'hy towns of but moderate size are very effec tive A good many small towns get intelligent fire fighting work at a small salary, and giving him as part of his compensation a yearly trip to the national conven tions of fire fighters. What can be done to have the many build ings that burn in outlying country districts, very frequently with no in surance? The rural fire department is apt to feel it accomplished big things if it saved the woodshed when the house gets fire. The gradual spread of motor trucks helps this sit uation." Will somebody please translate that into English for us, and also tell us what the Enterprise is driving at? Maybe its editor was merely trying to write a "safe" editorial, that would not offend either subscriber. source, not much of it would be left. Another proposed to trace it back and see. The result was so striking, that the me.', at once formed them selves into a club for the purpose of tracing such things to their source and so preventing much serious rmV chief from careless and unfounded statements. The club now numbers many members. A club of that sort could find employment and useful work to do in Houlton 3C5 days in the year, because there are so many who have no busi ness of their own to attend to, and devote their time to clashing about their neighbors. Members of this club are exceed ingly careful now about what they say. Just a hint of doubt about the matter and they appointsomeone to investigate. This is sufficient to cause the recall of all that one was not positively sure about. Rash, has ty talk has been the cause of untold misery. It is wise to make no state ment without having valid reason for believing it true. It would "be no bad plan for everyone to be as careful of his speech as if a Trace-It-Back club were going to investigate his or her statements. (Columbia Herald, Houl , ton.) Salt Creek to Become Resort of Con siderable Attractiveness MIGHT TRY IT HERE Suggestion in Houlton Paper Listens Reasonable in Valley From an eastern city is reported a Trace-It-Back club. Some men and women had been listening to a "they say" story, and one suggested that were the story traced back to its The first lease under the Act of February 28, 1899, for the use of the land adjacent to mineral springs, has just been signed by the Secretary of I Agriculture in agreement with James I O. Hardin of Portland, Oregon, for the development of a recreation re sort at Salt Creek Mineral Springs on the Cascade national forest in Lane County, Oregon, about ten miles from Oakridge. The location of these springs is easily accessible from the Upper Wil lamette Valley, and is on a propos ed line of the Southern Pacific Rail road. The terms of the lease call for the building of a hotel, bath hous es, swimming pool, and some small cottages for those who wish to live by htemselves. With the exception of thirty square feet around the sev eral minireal springs, and a right of way belonging to'the Oregon & Eas tern Railway, the resort will cover approximately forty-one acres. Ac cording to the lease, which is for a period of tewnety-five years, a public camping ground is reserved near the the public will be developed, and to springs, roads and trails open to avoid excessive or monopolistic charges the schedule of rates at the hotel will be approved by the govern ment. The Salt Creek Mineral Springs are located in one of the most beau tiful sections of the Cascade Moun tains, and the completion of arrange ments for the use and development of I the locality surrounding them is but a part of the intent and desire of the Forest Service to put th enational forests to their highest use for the benefit of the people. chinery, electric shoe shiners and hair curlers will be included in the above order if they use power current or power driven apparatus. Under the law if the manager of such a little shop does not immediate ly give notice cf declining to come under the provisions of the act, he or she or they are taken to have waived all objections. Thousands of small enterprises are thus brought within the scope of the law, and it will be only one step more to include all who use hand power or tools of any kind. SAVE YOUR CALVES FIELD IS EXTENDED State Insurance Commission Takes in Smaller Establishments The Industrial Accident Commis sion has adopted a new rule that will take in hundreds of small industries and business enterprises. By a ruling of the Attorney Gen eral a sausage grinder in a butcher shop was held to be power driven ma chinery and a boy who added a part of his thumb was given compensa-, tion. On the basis of that ruling the commission has added all mercantile establishments, dressmaking and mil linery establishments, opticians, jew elers, coffee grinders and soft-drink shakers. 1 Spice mills, scissors grinders, den tists, lapidaries, barber massage ma- Agricultural College Offers Hint to Stock Raisers "There is only one practical way for the dairyman to increase the herd and that is to raise his own calves," said Professor C. H. Eckles, profes sor of dairy husbandry, University of Missouri, when speaking before the dairymen's conventions during the Farmers' Week at the Oregon Agri cultural College. "You can't buy good stock. Heifers should be raised with a good deal of care and atten tion. You say it costs too much. But I believe that urider any ordinary conditions you can not afford not to do it. "They say about one cow out of every three is not going to be a prof itable animal. But success of the dairy farmer depends to no slight ex tent upon the careful rearing of the calves. The careful dairyman sees in every heifer calf the possibility of a cow that will not only replace a discarded member of his herd, but help to raise the average production. By proper care in the choice of the sire, and by careful attention to the rearing of the calves, the dairyman who is compelled to start with a herd of ordinary quality may, within a few years, raise the average of pro duction of his herd to a marked ex tent. On the other hand, carelessness in breeding and in calf raising is bound to result disastrously to a herd, or at least to keep it at a standstill as far as improvement is concerned." NOT ALWAYS DRY Government Reports Sometimes Quite Festive, It Seems There is a prevailing impression that government publications are al ways dry and uninteresting except to scientists and some farmers. This idea appears to be incorrect, judging from the following excerpt taken from the July press bulletin of the U. S. Geological Survey. "The city of Laramie, Wyoming, as well as the river, the mountain range, and the county, derives its name from Fort Laramie, which stands at the mouth of Laramie river. The most famous fort on the Old Overland Trail was named directly or indirectly for Jasques La Ramie, a French fur trader of the early days. The old maps show the river as La Ramies Fork. "Laramie was the home of Bill Nye, and here he founded the Boom erang, a journal of somewhat fitful existence, and wrote the articles for the Cheyenne and Denver papers that brought him into prominence as a humorist. It is worthy of notice that some 30 years ago Nye and James Whitcomb Riley published a railway guide. 'What this country needs,' they said, 'is a railway guide which shall not be cursed by a plethora of facts or poisoned with information. In other railway guides pleasing fan vy, poesy, and literary beauty have been throttled at the very threshhold by a wild incontinence of facts, fi gures, and reference to meal sta tions. For this reason a guide has been built at our own shops and on a new plan. It will not permit in formation to creep in and mar the reader's enjoyment of the scenery.' " Ouch! But Read This! We want to say just one thing for the "Oregon Voter.'' Altho C. C. is undoubtedly an ally of the bitulithic promoters it played the fairest hand of any of the Portland publications except the Labor Press, that partici pated in the recent road surfacing argument. Chapman has got the brains to run a mighty helpful pa per if he will, but can he run one that is strictly on the square? We doubt it, if it is to run in Portland. (Mt. Scott Herald.)
