The recent conflict of authority between Oregon and Washington over the control of the fisheries of the Columbia river, and the inability of either state to properly protect and build up the fishing industry within its own borders, indicate stronger than ever that the control and management of the fish business should be put into the bands of the general government. It is next to an impossibility to get Oregon and Washington or any other two states border ing on a river to adopt such laws as will preserve and build up the fishing industry of the river. They will each have selfish motives that conflict with the interests of her neighboring state, and no law can be passed by these states that will bring har mony and a united action in preserving the wealth of our streams. So long as the fish ing in the Columbia river is under the joint - control of Washington and Oregon will there be little likelihood of concerted action for the preservation of the fish, and it will only end in the extermination of the sal mon industry it continued. Even in our own state it is hard to get laws passed, much less to enforce them, to protect the fisb. The laws Oregon have are not respected for the reason that they are not enforced, it being an easy matter with a sharp lawyer and a sympathetic jury to es cape punishment. The conflicting of local interests and the meddling by politicians eager for spoils are two other reasons why the state cannot successfully protect its fish ing industry. The streams of the United States being largely inter-state in their Mow, there would be less clashing of local interests if the gen eral government had control of the fishing as it now has of the improvements to navi gation. Laws for the preservation of the fish would be enforced more rigidly, and hatcheries could be maintained under the control of skilled men to replenish the streams as they were fished out. The ex pense of enforcing the laws and of operating the hatcheries would be very much less if in the hands of the government than if con trolled by the state, and afar more efficient service would be rendered. Hkkk is a little record of the first flsral year under the new larilf, prepared by the Toledo Wade. It is worth putting in your pocket-book for reference: McKinley law, two months, surplus, fti, 0-i,tt;i. Wilson law, ten mouths, deficiency, $.'(), SlV.tW. Deficiency for fiscal year, $ ll,4!l,KS.

Tux bicycle having about ru ined the liv ery stable business and badly crippled the street car lines, bas now invaded the race track with fair prospects of driving its fou tooted competitor off the track, or at leas of securing from the race horse the lion share of attention paid by the public to speed events. On eastern tracks the bicvele races are drawing as large crowds as th horse races, and where the horses are not of national reputation the bicyclists are draw ing the larger crowds. At our state fair th bicycle races promise to be the big events, and entries are being rapidly made for them, while but few entries have as yet been made by the horsemen. As to what future conquests the irrepressible wheel is to make it is hard to predict, but it is surely destined to be a prominent factor hereafter in the industrial and social affairs ol the American people. There should a state law governing the sale of stray stock taken up in incorporated towns. Cutler the present methods of pro cednre by most towns in Oregon great in justice is often done owners of stock that have fallen into the hands of the pound master. An instance of this kind happened to a farmer residing near Needy in this county not long since. He owned a span of fine horses purchased by him from up the valley. One night they broke out of his pasture and started for their old home. In passing through Salem they fell into the pound-master's hands and m due time were sold, as provided by the ordinance of that city. The owner in the mean time had ad vertised and searched everywhere for bis horses, and not finding them had supposed they had been stolen. By chance he learned that his horses had been taken up and sold by the rjalem poundmaeter, and on inter viewing that official was informed that such was the fact, but the official could not recol lect to whom the horses were sold or where they were taken to; and be keeping no record of his sales there was no way of find ing the estrays. The man thus lost his team with no chance of redeeming them or regaining possession in any manner. The law should be so that the poundmaster of every town would be compelled to keep a record of sales of stock made by blm and to whom, and enter a correct description of the animals on his books. The owner then should have not less than thirty days in which to redeem his property. With such a law a man would have some chance of re gaining his lost stock. The Harmony correspondent for the Ex terprisk reports that the potato bug has made its appearance in that locality, and has commenced its work of destruction. If it is the Colorado potato bug woe be to Ore gon farmers, for it will add $10 per acre to the cost of growing potatoes, and it will be possible that in this mild climate it will multiply in such prodigious numbers as to ruin the potato industry. This little bug has cost the farmers of the middle states in the 20 years since its appearance millions of dollars in loss of potato crop, and for poison and labor in fighting the pest. The author ities should look into this matter, and if it the eastern potato bug no expense should be spared to exterminate them at once, as it ill be money saved to the state of Oregon. It appears from a calculation made by the chief of the bureau of statistics that the consumption of sugar during 1894 wss K pouHds for each man, woman and child in the country, which is estimated to be in ex cess of the weight of the bread consumed in the same time. A pound of sugar, by the way, contains as much nutrition as a pound of beef, and costs only a third as much. The extent to which the use of the bicycle has grown may be judged by the fact that $3,000,000 were spent last year in the United States for this speedy little machine. The amount expended for wheels this year promises to be very much larger than that of last year. All the bicycle factories are run ning day and night and are from three to six mouths behind their orders. to preserve them in their original type: There is reported to lie much regret among the olltcers of the navy that the Hartlord, now being repaired at Mare Isl and, is not to be restored a perfect model of her original type titled, finished and fur nished with historical accuracy. This re gret will not lie confined to tho navy. It is a sentiment which will be shared by loyal hearts all over the land, for " the old Hart ford," as Karragut called her, holds a place in our history that will forever associate her name with the truest patriotism and Amer icanism. As a rule the American people care little for monuments of the past, even when they serve as memorials of our own history. The starry banner suffices us as a symbol of our glory and a reminder of the valor that on land and sea has made our na Hon great. Nevertheless, there aro some memorials which oven we arc loth to spare. No American would willingly lose the old Constitution, which Is still preserved on the Atlantic coast as an object of patriotic veil' eratlon. What that gallant ship Is to the Atlantic coast the Hartford might be to the Pacific. Her history, one of the most illus trious In the annuls of war ships, is forever associated with that of the Immortal Karra gut, who in her so often carried Old Ci lory to victory, and she well deserves to be main tained as long as human skill can keep her as a memorial of the navy In the days of the great war that made the republic a nation. The carelessness and incompetency of the average legislative clerk, as well as the won hlessness of many of our legislators, it handled without gloves by The Dalles Chronicle In the following plain words: It is now pretty well settled that the home stead exemption act of lsu'l, is Invalid by reason of a change made in the act in one house which was never acquiesced In by II; other. Whether the delect was Intentional on the part of the enemies of the act or was due to the carelessness of soma clerk will never be known; whatever the cause the la is useless. This is not the first time legist tion has been thus thwarted. Incompe tency Is more frequently the cause of th trouble than dishonesty, and yet we con tliiue to send men to the legislature because of their political popularity rather than be cause of their fitness to make laws, and tl legislators continue to appoint clerks be cause of their political pull rather than be cause of their clerical ability. Inierfect legislation makes business for the courts. and courts make taxes for the people to pay ami payment of taxes makes us grumble; but all this does not make us better voters. W ill continue to vote for the politician, and the politician will continue to create clerk ships and fill them w ith careless or incom petent vote getters.

Okeoos City is surely and steadily in creasing in population and area, and the -difficultv of locating new residents, even by one intimately acquainted, with every sec tion of the city, Is daily becoming more ap parent. The diversified surface of the city makes the task still greater, in the matter of di recti i g a stranger to any individual res idence, and Hie old residents become puz zled themselves to find the abode of a neigh bor who has removed into a new house. Oregon City is behind many other towns of even less population, in not having the nf t' e twtq on the corners and the The colored man question assumes less disturbing Influences as the years go by, and eventually will cease to be'a cause of fric tion. The Globe Democrat says: The general idea that the negro population of the South increases as fast as the whites, or even faster, is erroneous, if the figures given by Dr. De Saussine, of Charleston, are to be credited. He says that the death rate among the blacks is much larger (ban among the whites in all of the southern cit jes, and that the black city population would soon disappear altogether if it were not for the accessions from the country. The in creasing Inclination of the negroes to move to town will cause a great decrease, he ar gues, during the next decade: and his figures seem to justify bis theory. Of the prospect of there being but few racing horses at the state fair the Northwest Pacific Farmer has the following to say: The horsemen are backward about filling up the entrances to the races in the state fair this fall. They say that the fair Is to be held so late that the rain will overtake it, arid that they do not intend to spend money training horses and then not get to run them. For this and other reasons several of the classes were not filled, but the bicycle races will in all probability draw much larger crowds than the horse races, so that there will be no loss from the lack of horses. The general public and the farming ele ment who attend the fair will not shed many tears because of any scarcity along this line, as they think there will be more money left for paying debts and premiums on agricultural and mechanical exhibitions. The Bicycling World corrects a very gen eral misapprehension by stating that it is he who tries to sit up straight on a bicycle, and not the one who bends forward, who ' bumps himself." The back of the stooped fellow, it Insists, is straight, the bend being at the bips, the shoulders being pushed back square by the weight resting on the rider's hands, which rests on lop of the bar.

The grain fields are as- ming the golden color which means har vest, and many are busy cutting and some are preparing to thresh. The United Slates government has built a new barn at the hatchery on the Clackamas and is making several other general Im provements. F. Gerber is doing the work. We understand that several of the Logan people " saw the elephant" at the syndicate show to the extent of several dollars. Mr. and Mrs. N. W. Kobblns, of Oregon City, were visiting their son and daughter, O. D. Bobbins and Mrs. W. P. Kirchem last week. Mrs. J. Brown has been quite sick with an ulcerated throat but is now better. Mrs, Smith was also on the sick list a few days but is better. Chas. Shumway was kicked in the face by a borse but not seriously hurt. 11. Cromer had an accident last week while cutting grain for Mr. Newgirk. A bee stung one of the horses causing them to run away with the binder, but did no serious damage as they did not run far. Miss Moore, of Portland, is visiting Mrs W. P. Klrcbern. A. M. Kirchem left on Saturday for 1 1 Waco where he intends to work. There was an A. P. A. lecture at Tracy's hall on Saturday last. It looks as if times were getting better as the Logan people are all making improve ments. Another barn has gone up; this time at Casper Moore's. There seems to be a long-lingered tramp around the neighborhood this summer. A lot of cherries were taken from Clem Clark's orchard at night a few weeks ago. Clem says he will build a high barbed wire (once around the cherries next year. Last week Sain Gerber lost some meat from his cellar. Some way the thief dropped a ham at the door He may have been in a hurry. (He might be In a bigger one next time.) This may be a warning to others to keep their cellars locked unless they have more than they need. Rudolph Zerbuchen is much better. It was a mistake saying he was taken to the hospital, as we had been informed. He was at home all the time.
