SEASON IS OPENED
SALMON MAY NOW 3g CAUGHT ON
THE RIVERS.
Much Illegal Fishing Was" Done la tbe Close
Season, and While Bailiffs Were Active,
tbe Laws Are Not Stringent Enough.
MARRIED TWENTY YEARS.
The open season for salmon fishing
on the Clackamas and Willlamette
Rivera commened yetserday. Bailiffs
W. W. Smith and O. F. Jones hnnted
' all day Tuesday for salmon which
were supposed to be concealed, and al
though they looked on every island
from tiie mouth of the Clackamas to
the hatchery they found no fish. The
work of the officers has resulted in
more catches this year than in any
previous season, but they have been
handicapped by the existing laws to a
great extent. The laws should be
changed to make it a misdemeanor for
a fisherman to be on the river with his
boat and net during the close season.
It is difficult for 'the bailiffs to catch
a man in the act of fishing though
many of them are seen with gear and
it is sure shot they have been fishing.
Another change in the laws advocated
is one making it criminal for boats
and nets to be hauled up the banks of
the Clackamas and placed in the river.
It is impossible, on acconnt of the
rapid water in the Clackamas,' to tow
boats up that stream and they are
hauled 20 miles up from tiie month,
. and the fisherman then drift down the
' river. ' Proper amendments to the laws
- . would put a stop to fishing in close
. season. '
. Monday night Ed Himler was 'fired
; -i . I-, '
jp' at by unknown persons, j Three shots
. were fired, que of itljom penetratlijg

, uiu uuat, cioge. w me swart wnere lie,
was pulling, jt If supposed that jthe
bp 1 lets came the 1 hands
1 of fishermen who have salmon hid
away on the banks of the Clackamas,
and who thought Himler was in search
of them. ' There has been more or less
stealing of salmon going on while the
close season has been in force. A
great many man catch fish unlawfully
and then steal from one another. The
shooting occurred just below the Erick
son place, about a mile above the spot
where the water bailiffs captured over
100 Chinook salmon last Friday night.
Sunday night there was a regular
f usilade of shots all night long, and
these shots were known to have been
fired by a man who had salmon hid
den. The bailiffs have collected licenses
from 17 fishermen, which includes
most of the fishermen around Oregon
City and Parkplace. ' Next week they
will go to Milwaukie and collect the
license there.

GAME NEXT SUNDAY
BASEBALL SEASON WILL OPEN AT
CANEMAH PARK.
Oregon City to Line Up Against Fidelity and
a Hot Game Is Anticipated Home Team
Has Fine Personnel! and Good Prospects'
The base ball season "of 1903 will
open at Canemah Park Oregon City,
Sunday, April 19. ,
This announcement will be read
with pleasure by the lovers of good
clean sport of Oregon City, for it will
give them a chance to see some of the
best amateur teams of the state come
to our city and cross bats with our
own boys. There is no question but
what our boys will be able to take
care of our interest.
Our team should be liberally sup
ported both financially and with large
attendance as last year plainly de
monstrated that our home team was'
composed of first class players, always
playing clean balL
The promoters this year have secure
most of last years players and have
the advantage of a ground at the edge
of town, which should more than
double the attendance of last year, and
this being the case, they will be able
to bring all the best teams of the Coast
here this season. But a successful
season can not be carried on unless
the team has the support and patron
age of the city, first, last and all the
time ; as it costs money to bring good
teams here and keep good players at
home. This year Oregon City will
have one of the best ball parks in the
state Mr. Fields has a large gang of
men at work now, and will have the
ground in first claBS shape for Sun
day's game. There will be plenty of
seats, as the laree sxand stand will
Wd 400 and the bleachers 400.
The first game will be with the
Fidelity team of Portland. This team
played Jack . Grim's Nationals last
Sunday and ' held them down to four
runs. Come and see what our bovs
will do to them.
The following will be the probable
line up Sunday: - ' j '

CHARM OF THE ORANGE."
The Evolution of the Universal
Fruit of Commerce.
For centuries tbe orange was tbe ex
clusive possession of the Latin, Mon
golian and Malay races. Then It was
carried to India, then to America and
fell under the Improving touch of the
Anglo-Saxon. Bringing together the
incomparable Jaffa, as a seedling, from
Pulesttne, the Melltensts from Malta
and others, be budded and grafted in
Florida until the fruit was brought,
through blending and selection, to the
highest pltc-h of perfection, as it seem
ed. But, strangely enough, there camo
out of the province of Bolivia, Brazil,
still another seedling one of those con
summate blossoms of perfection
through centuries of waiting on na
ture by the Latin which the American
accomplishes by cross pollination In
five years the Babla or navel orange.
It had reached the acme of quality not
only In flavor, but In Its attribute of
Heedlessness.
Now, is not that a proper food for the
ultimate man a fruit which has no
progeny, no future, no possible func
tion except as a minister to him? The
orange has been called the universal
fruit of commerce, and so It is, for Its
aroma carries It unharmed, tbe acrid
Juices of Its peel protect It ngalnst in
sects, Its toughness endures long trans
portation, and everywhere on earth
men eagerly seek Its subtle charm and
Its exquisite nectar.
The orange is not strictly a food, but
it Is greater. It Is the connecting link
to a higher status, the guarantee and
preserver of health and of Intellect The
gross gormandizing on meats, the curse
of drink, burning the brain, hardening
Its delicate convolutions these are the
fountains of Ills Innumerable, the pangs
of gout, the suddon and bluck terror of
apoplexy. But this gentle and benign
pharmacopoeia of nature, these fruits
with their wonderful blending of cor
rective acids and cordials, are the ready
medicament of the ultimate man. As
we advance In horticulture and develop
other seedless and perfect fruits we
shall approach the perfect regimen of a
higher humanity. Florida Times-Un

UNION TAKES ACTION.
Its Deliberations Were Secret But Some
Facts Have Leaked Out.
Federal Labor Union held a meeting
Monday night to disouss the -proposed
demands of the employes of the Wil
lamette. Pulp & Paper Company and
the Crown Paper Company for higher
wages and shorter hours. The officers
of the union refuse to give ont any in
formation but it has been learned that
some action was taken and modified
demands will be presented to the mill
companies. Several days ago a con
ference between a committee represent
ing the employes and Resident Direct
or Lang, of the Willamette Pnlp &
Paper Company, was held -and it is
known that the company will agree to
a bi-weekly pay day if it is, shown
that the men favor it, and "it seems
that they do. The Crown Paper Com
pany now pays twice a month. This
makes it easier for some of the em
ployes to come under the 80-dav' ex
emption law. The union will hold a
meeting May 4 and at that time the
demands will be made public.
The first hop contract of the season
has been recorded here. Marion P.
White, of Monitor, has agreed sell
20,000 pounds of hops to S. Ramsey &
