Hammer Adolph Aschott Ej&"Tit way to build op Oregon City is to rlT Oregon City people your patronage. of the Coast is attracting the attention ot prospective investors from a distance. Every visitor compliments the town upon its evident prosperity and the flattering pos sibilities it has for future growth. All this indicates that now is the time lor the board of trade to still further push its work of ad vertising the advantages of Oregon City and ot bringing the town up to the position it should occupy as an industrial center. To keep the interest from flagging, each mem ber should be punctual in attending all meetings ot the board and prompt in paying their dues. By so doing a lire, working lu te test in the board can be kept up. Let there be a full attendance at the board of trade meeting next Monday evening. THE STATE'S DUTY. Okkook's hop crop for l&O was 38,000 bales, and for ISM the crop amounted to 71,000 bales. The yield for this year is ex pected to exceed 100,00 bales. By these figures it will be seen that the hop business has grown to be one of the great industries of the state and the excellent quality of hops produced will enable Oregon to re main one of the great hop producing sec tions of the world. The crop of this year so far as cured is of extra flue quality and wiih a large yield per acre will enable the growers to realize a fair return even with low prices that now prevail Even during the hard financial strain of the past two years the great majority of those who have suffered have been those who have never been taught to do anything or at least never been taught with a thor oughness that makes instruction convertible into terms of dollars and cents, bread and batter. The generic problem of the race is to keep aoul and body together, and the school problem is first of all to pat the rising gen eration in the way of making the junction of the two possible. So long as the state assumes the care of paupers it is the duty of j the state to use its best means to prevent the existence of panpers, and one of the most direct means to that end is to see to it that all the children in the state are thor oughly instructed in reading, writing and arithmetic, and are substantially trained in the practice of some form of remunerative handiwork, writes the Rev. Charles II. I'ark hurst, D. D., in a vigorous article on "Com pulsion in Child Training," in the Septem ber Ladies' Home Journal. There is work enough to be done in this big world by peo ple who are willing to work and who know bow. The idea of immense wealth secured by some process of financial legerdemain has so pervaded the general atmosphere that a sufficiency has ceased to satisfy, and a young man resolves either to speculate his way to fortune, or to steal some one's else fortune, or if both these expedients fail, to turn professional idier and subsist on charity. The incentive to substantial equip ment for the struggle of life is thus with drawn. If I were the state I would com pel every child to acquire the means of an honest livelihood, even at the risk of the whip, and then if, having acquired that means, he failed to avail of it to bis own maintenance, I would commit him to the workhouse and keep him at bard labor there till he experienced a change of heart. There is no respectable consistency between state's care of the poor and state's neglect of strin gent means for preventing the existence of , the poor. If a government ought to be "paternal" to the extent of feeding paupers it ought to be "paternal" to the extent of obliging possible or intending paupers to be able to feed themselves. The root difficulty in all this matter is the indisposition of parents and other constituted authorities to make serious business of laying substantial foundations in the early years of our young people, boys and girls. One of the chief sources of misery among the working classes is the wife's ignorance of the duties that be long to her. She is ignorant of them because she has never been compelled to learn them. If we could split half our pianos into kind ling wood and pluck the strings out of three quarters of our harps and banjos, and set our young girls to the practical task of be coming proficient in a self-sustaining way upon some line or other of remunerative in dustry, it would be a great benison to society in general. In whatever direction we look and whatever improvement we seek to effect, we come back to it again and again that the eml is determined by the beginning, and that the foundations of all public betterment bave to be laid in the children. letter List.

This Is "American Year" in the Chautan qua course of study, for in addition to the other studies American history, civil gov ernment, literature, etc., will be taken up. This course will be of more than usual inter est, for there has come to be a desire among Americans to learn more of their country and to busy people this Cnautauqua course offers an excellent opportunity to acquiie a knowledge of America sufficient to enable them to read and converse intelli gently regarding the great country of their birth, of whose history, physical geography, literature, art and educational growth so few fully comprehend. The course is not ex oensire and is easily within the reach of the poorest boy and girl and such is the interest there should be little difficulty in securing the formation of a circle in each school dis trict of this county. By taking opthe course now one will be better able to participate in and to understand the work of the clashes at the Chautauqua assembly next summer. There is a question as to whether the school board of Oregon City can purchase with public funds all the supplies that the board his heretofore furnished the schools and for which they now have asked bids for from Oregon City and Portland stationers Row Salmon Ar Batched. To the Editor: We wish to thank you for sending the Extirfrisi to us, and in return will give you a short article for pub lication to let the people know what is being done here in the way of batching salmon by the Columbia River Packers Salmon Propagating company. We came here about the first of June, into the heart of the forest and we might say, hewed our way here, and since then bave cleared away the forests and erected two buildings, each 20x80 feet, and each containing nine troughs sixty-four feet long, so that the two have a capacity of 8,000,000 salmon eggs. Besides clearing the ground and erecting these buildings, we put a rack across the Oak Grove, a stream four miles below where we are located, to prevent the salmon from going up that and have also built a rack across the Clackamas here at the hatchery. The first salmon were seen here on June 20th and we took the first eggs on July 22d. These are the first salmon that come into the Columbia river in the spring ahd are in the Clackamas as early as the first ol Febru ary. They are the finest of the Chinook salmon, nearly all large, weighing from twenty to forty pounds and that after tbey bave made the journey from Cape Hancock to the Cascade mountains without any visi ble food. Many may think it strange that these fish are so long in getting up here but they travel verv slow after they have passed the fishing grounds on the lower river ami some of them were seen a few miles below as for two or three weeks before they made their appearance here. We have taken the eggs from about 400 salmon and they have averaged about C000 eggs each, so we have nearly 2,500,000 eggs in the hatching house. Our largest days work was 254,000 eugs from forty-four salmon; but it looks now as though the run was about over for this year as we will riot wait for the late run for it would bring us into the cold weather before they would hatch and get large enough to turn loose and as the the weather and water gets colder, it will take them longer to hatch, so if we should Btop taking the eggs now, it will be as late as the middle of November or later before we will have all the young fry turned out and by that time we will have snow and cold weather up here in the mountains. We are however taking about 50,000 eggs a day and shall con tinue to do so, If the iish last, until the first of September, when we shall stop. As most of us are citizens of Clackamas county and residents of Clackamas, it may be well to say that we have all been blessed with good health and mountain appetites and cot one of us will go out of here weigh ing less than when we came in, and what is more, not an accident has happened In our camp. There has been much said in the Oregonlan abont us having trouble with the Indians here, and at one time they had us about murdered, but we still live and have fifteen families of the redskins camped within a few hundred yards of us. They take the fish after we have spawned them, pack to their camp and dry them for their winter food and not any part of the fish is wasted, as they use the head, tail, fin and all there is inside of them, they even come to the hatchery and take the dead eggs, and dry them, and at no time have we been in any danger of being mur dered except now, as they came to our camp the other day and borrowed all our guns to go hunting with, so we are nearly defenseless but not badly scared, as we ex- iugton about two years where he had liiken up a ranch. It Is supposed he committed suicide as his gun was found beide him. All the Logan schools resumed operations on the 2d w ith the former teachers. T. K.
