LOCAL OPTION".
The proposed amendments to the
local option law adopted in Oregon
at the last June election are just and
equitable ami will make the law a
loeal option law in true meaning of
the term, and not a prohibition law,
as the advocates twin determined to
foist upon the people. The section
amended providing that elections
shall be held only once in two years
i3 in the line of economy. As the
law now stands, the prohibitionists
can call an election every year. It
cost $70,000 for every election held
in the state,- but the Prohibition
contingent does not care for expen
ses as long as they do not have to
pay it, and very few of them pay any
taxes in the state. They are no
producers and are free with other
people's money.
The amendment providing that it
shall not apply to wholesale liquor
houses and breweries, is not so much
a license for them to continue busi
ness, but if the present law was en
forced, it would be impossible for
them to dispose of their stock within
the time limit and would work a
hardship on them. The provisions
of the law shall not become effective
until the amount of thhe unexpired
license has been refunded to com
pel cities or towns to refund the
money tc the saloonkeepers which
they are entitled to, but which in
several precincts that went dry, the
governing boards have refused to
do, thereby showing their dishonesty
and utter disregard for the law.
Laws have to lie enacted sometimes
to compel people to be honest, and
it is especially required in the case
of prohibitionists.
Taking the amendments as a
whole they should be adopted. Xo
one will object to a local option law,
but there is a large majority of the
people of Oregon who are opposed to
prohibition. The temperance advo
cates can not expect to have the sup
port of the press for measures that
are intended as jiersecutions instead
of remedying evils. Xo paper, un
less the tool of the Prohibition party,
will ever lend its influence to any
such cause. A large majority of the
newspaX'rs are in favor of temper
ance legislation, but they are oppos
ed to prohibition, more particularly
because it has proven a failure in
every state in which it has been
tried, and fur the further reason
that a large majority of prohibi
tionists are, barnacles who are sup
ported in some avocation or another
by the public and contribute nothing
toward the running expenses of the
city or state. A good local option
law is needed and that is all that is
required at present.
SUJTIiKSSIOX OF GAMBLIXCI.
A bill has been introduced in the
legislature of Oregon, making gamb
lig a felony punishable by imprison
ment in the penitentiary. That it
"will become a law admits of no doubt
as there is not a man in Up? legisla
tive assembly who would have the
temerity to vote against it. The law
is aimed at the suppression of gamb
ling in every city, town and hamlet
in the state, and will meet with the
unqualified indorsement of the large
majority of the people, and should
be supported by every newspaper in
terested in putting an effectual check
on the demoralizing vice. If gamb
ling was only limited to members of
the profession, the objection again.-t
it would not be so pronounced, but
the time has come when the parents
of young men demand that laws be
passeed by the lawmaking power to
remove all temptations from the ris
ing generation. Hundreds, yes
thousands of boys and young men
have been ruined by gambling. Evi
dences of it are apparent in Asto
ria. The only objection raised to gamb
ling in Astoria is that it will shut off
the revenues derived from the games.
When it i3 considered that the men
who pay nine-tenths of the taxes in
Astoria are opposed to gambling and
are willing to share the extra bur
dens, if any there be, is a conclusive
answer to that argument. Stop
gambling and you stop crime. Stop,
crime and the expenses of the police'
department will be reduced, as well
as the expenses of the courts. There;
is only one side to the gambling,
question and that is the right side.
The Astorian voices the sentiments
of the better element of society in
opposing gambling of every descrip
tion. The Astorian.
o -
There is pending before the state
legislature a bill that if enacted into
a law will confer a complex and
cumbersome system of book-keeping
upon the various county treasurers
of the state without providing rea
sonable compensation for tlA addi
tional work. The bill proposes the
doing away with the office of school
clerk, the service now rendered by
that oftieor to be performed by the
Comity Treasurer. In Clackamas j
county this would require the keep-j
ing by the Treasurer of l'it separate
accounts with as many school dis
tricts of the county. Where there
could result any possible saving to
the county is not made plain. Only
in the larger districts do the school
clerks receive any pay while the pro
posed change in the law would cost I
at least $;500 per annum in this
count v where the County Treasurer!
now receives only a meagre salary.
Theoretically it might be all right
for the teacher of the Bull Uun
school to make requisition on the
County Treasurer, as the purchasing
agent for the schools of the county,
for a bottle of ink or a box of cray
on, as is contemplated by the bill
but practically it appears to us that
the proper person to provide for the
wants of a school is the resident
clerk who is acquainted with the ac
tual needs of the school and the best
means for providing the same.

LEGISLATION OF LOCAL INTEREST.
Bills
to Create Deputy Assessor
Raise Superintendent's Salary.
and
It is learned that a bill will be introduc
ed before the legislature at this session
providing for the appointment in tills
county of a deputy tax assessor, at a sal
ary of $75 a month, says the Oregon City
correspondent of the Portland Journal.
The same bill will likijy also provide for
the inc rease of the School superintend
ent's salary from $1,000 to $l.-'00 a year.
County Judge Kyan is said to be oppos
ed to the passage of this measure on
economic; grounds.
The friends of the bill say that the ap
pointment of the deputy assessor with a
reasonable salary is the most economical
course. The average number of deeds to
real estate filed in this county is J, Too
per annum, and the present law requires
that the retiring assessor leave a set of
maps showing the true location of each
of the real estate subdivisions in this
county.
This requires the employment, by
authority of the commissioners' court,
during a portion of the year of a deputy
who has knowledge of surveying and
draughting, since the maps of tin; various
townships must be changed from time to
to time It is contended that at a reas
onable monthly compensation a deputy
may be seemed with the Ability to per
form all these duties, in addition to the
other minor duties of the office. Thus,
It is said, the necessity of procuring the
services of an expert surveyor or
draughtsman nt the usually daily com
pensation would ue eliminated and no
more expense would be added to the ad
ministration of the office, while, a steady
office man would be provided.
It is also contended that the duties now
Incumbent upon the superintendent of
schools of this county demand increased
pay, to which proposition theiy is, how
ever, some opposition.
Judge Ryan went to Salem, yesterday
and it is whispered that his visit is to
oppose the proposed law.

At the meeting of the Clackamas County
Pomona Grange, held at Logan, a com
mittee was appointed to Investigate the
advisability of purchasing ground In some
central place and erecting a home for
Pomona Grange, The tract purchased
may be large enough so that county fairs
can be held annually, and' centrally lo
cated so deli-gates can attend from all
portions of the county.
The reason for the measure Is that
Pomona Grange in Clackamas County
has become so large a body that it Is a
great burden for the subordinate Granges
to entertain it every three months.

EXPERIMENTING WITH SALMON.
Bureau of Fisheries Reports on Experi

George! M. (lowers, coniUlisslolli-r of
the Hureau of Fisheries of the l'epurt

detailing tint n suits of experiments made
In Oregon with salmon. It Is us follows:
"To the Salmon Inte-rcsts of the Pai illc:

In continuation of Its efforts on behalf
of the salmon fisheries the United Slates
Hureau of Fisheries during the year
I!I01 selected a number of lots of young
chlnook salmon for special experimenting
with a view to cledernilnlrji various points
In the life of this Important fish. IWore
the yonng salmon weie redeased they
were marked In such a way as to be
readily recognizable when caught; mid
the number of fish sn treated (.iver
11.000) was large enough to afford a
sounel basis for deductions. The e-xpcil

previous work of the liureau nlon the
same Urn's, and should show conc lusively
what percentage- of artificially hatched
salmon return to the rivers; the h-nglh1
of time- the- llsh rVmaln at sea; the xicnt
to whlcdi salmon return to the parent
stream or wander to adjacent streams;
whether the young of Sacramento Rlv r
and Rogue Rlve-r salmon, when planted
In the Columbia basin, will go Ifack to
their nathe- streams In any noteworthy
numbers; whether the young of the lain
runs of salmon return only as hit,- n.,h,
or as both early anil latu fish, and vari
ous other Important practical fuels.
The- young salmon In question were
of the size known as "llnge-rllngs," were
hatched at stations of the Hureau cif
Fisheries In the Columbia Ilasin and
were planted near the stations. Tliey
comprised the- following lots, marked as
slated;

To make this experiment a hucccchs the
hearty support and active aid of the fish
ing interests are necessary. Those en
gaged in the propagation of salmon are
requested to mark no fish In a similar
way for at least three years, iu order
that the results anticipated from tho
present experiment may not be obscured.
While no returns from these plants of
marked fish can be reasonably expected
before 1907, it Is hoped that canners,
fishermen, anglers, and citizens genet--ully
will henceforth keep a careful watch
for these fish. Whenever such a lish is
