METROPOLITAN "A Husband on Salary."
Washougais Rough Trip. At the office
of Hale & Kern there is a chart from the
schooner-barge "Washougal, In which Cap
tain Cy Harrlman marked off the course
his vessel sailed during the big storm In
the latter part of December. It "will be
remembered that the Washougal, lumber
laden, was on her way to San Francisco,
In tow of the tug Samson. Owing to an
accident to the Samson's machinery, she
cast the Washougal loose off Point Arena.
This was on December 12. From that time
till she reached San Francisco, December
24, the staunch schooner had to combat
single-handed with one of the wildest
storms experienced on this coast for 20
years. That she lived through it and
finally made San Francisco In safety
speaks well for her seaworthiness and the
seamanship of Captain Harrlman. The
course she sailed, as pricked off by Cap
tain Harrlman. shows that on December
IS she was off San. Francisco harbor.
Then she was forced north and sailed
in a small circle for several days, finally
making an excursion north. "While she
was looked for to turn up off the Colum
bia, or to make her way to Puget Sound,
she was at no time more than 220 miles
from San Francisco. Captain Harrlman
went about anywhere he pleased except
where he wanted to .go to Ban Francisco
and when he and his schooner had' been
about given up, he sailed Into San Fran
cisco in time to partake- of his Christ
mas turkey. The Washougal is now load
ing at the mills of the Eastern Lumber
Company, taking lumber In the hold and
piles on deck, and neither Messrs. Hale
and Kern, nor Captain Harrlman, have
any fears In regard to her making the
trip In safety, for she is not likely In her
natural life ever to encounter auch .an
other gale as the one which she safely
passed through.
Taxdodoing ik Former Times. Several
persons were yesterday discussing the old
mortgage tax law, and the "reduction for
Indebtedness" clause, when a man who
has been here only a few years &sked
to have the latter law explained to hlra.
As an illustration, he was told of the case
of a well-to-do person who, when his as
sessment was being made Tip, said that
a certain bank in the -city held his note
for $10,000, and he wanted that amount
deducted from the assessed valuation of
his property. The Assessor had doubted
the statement, and inquired at the bank.
He was told that the man owed the bank
nothing, but that a few days" hefore he
had asked that he might leave his noto
for 510.000 there for a few days. His ob
ject In so doing was to secure a reduc
tion of bis tax. Another of the party
Tuld about a man whose property was as
sessed at 54000. He said his wife held his
note for 54000. so his assessment was
wiped out, and his wife was taxed on 50
per cent of the note, that Is, 52000. Then
she stated that her brother had her note
for 52000, and that wiped the slate for her,
and her brother was taxed for half the
face of the note. There being no more
of the family to owe, the brother paid
the tax on 51000, and that is the way
things were done under the reductlon-for-lndebtedness
law.
Bobbed a Rbservation Indian. Dep
uty United "States Marshal Roberts yes
terday brought from Umatilla County a
half-breed named Tom Wood, who Is
charged with having broken Into the
house of Joe Cray, an Indian residing on
the Umatilla reservation, and having
stolen a set of harness, a bicycle, a lot
of dresses, and an electric belt. Wood
had an examination before United States
Commissioner HIley, and was held to an
swer, with bail fixed at 5500. He was
unable to furnish ball. Wood denies that
he broke Into the house, or took any of
the articles, except the bicycle, which,
he says, he found In the woods near
Cray s house. Being found with the bicy
cle In his possession, he could not well
deny having taken it.
Children op Indian War Veterans.
An enthusiastic meeting of sons and
daughters of Indian War veterans took
place at G, A. R. Hall last night. A con
stitution and by-laws ware adopted. The
most important provision Is that persons
eligible to mebershlp shall meet from
time to time. In a social way, to keep
alive the memories of Indian wars, and
promote good-fellowship. It was decided
that the association shall hereafter meet
on the second and fourth Tuesdays of
each month; that at the next meeting,
which will be held on February 12. the
charter list will be closed, and permanent
officers elected; and that Indian War vet
erans' wives and widows shall be honor
ary members.
Q. A. R. Encampment. The council of
arbitration of the G. A. R. met at the
Grand Army Hall, yesterday, to reset the
time for holding the encampment of the
department of Oregon this year. A short
time ago Forest Grove was selected as
the place, and May 15 as the day for hold
ing the encampment. It was learned that
school would be open at that time, and
would lnterefere with the encampment, as
some of the buildings of the Pacific Uni
versity could not then be placed at the
disposal of the department. To change
the date the meeting of the council was
called, and after remarks by members, It
was decided to hokl the encampment from
June 25 to June 2S, Inclusive.

Sewer Ststems Inspected. City Engl- !
neer Chase and Councilman Branch, of
the sewer committee, took a long tramp
yesterday and made an Inspection of the
Beech-street and Cook-avenue sewer dis
tricts. This Involved getting over a large
area, as the Beech-street district Is one
of the largest In the city. They looked
over the grounds of the O. R. & N. Co., at
Albina, through which a right-of-way
for the outlet of this system will have
to be obtained, as well as for 500 feet
through the Knox and Abraham tract.
There Is quite a gulch between the yards,
of the O. R. & N. Co. and the hill which
the sewer will have to run down or cross,
and the low ground In. that vicinity Is
still covered with water, through which
Engineer Chase and Mr. Branch had to
feel their way. They obtained a com
prehensive view of the situation in re
gard to the whole system, and got back
to the City Hall pretty well tired out.

HIGH-PHICED BANANAS.
James Smith Says He Paid 10.20
for a Dozen.
Bananas at 519 20 a dozen are a luxury,
but that Is the price James Smith say3
he paid Peter Lechzer for them. Smith
prosecuted Lechzer for the larceny of a
520 gold piece in tho Municipal Court yes
terday. He testified:
"I bought a dozen bananas from Lech
zers cart, at Third and Alder streets,
and gave him a 520 gold 'piece, and waited
for the change. He held the gold piece
in his right hand for a moment, and
asked: 'Have you nothing less than this?
I can't change it. Then he handed me
back what afterwards turned out to be
a silver dollar, but I thought then that
It was the gold piece, and placed it In one
of my pockets. I handed him 0 cents,
and he gave me 30 c ents In return. When
I got home, I discovered the mistake, and
found Lechzer and asked him for my
money, but he drove away. I found a
policeman, and had him arrested."
This is Lechzer's story:
"The day I sold bananas to Smltn I
had 35 cents, and Smith was my first
customer. He handed me a silver dol
lar, and I couldn't make change, and
returned It. He then gave me a half
dollar, and I gave him 30 cents. I never
got a 5S0 gold piece from him. That af
ternoon, I sold bananas and oranges from
3:30 until 6:0, and my sales amounted to
511 10."
Judge Cameron continued the case un
til today.

FOR JOHN MARSHALL DAY
JUDGES AKRAXGIXG FOR THE CEL
EBRATION. Horace G. Plntt, of San. Pranclwo,
Accepts the Invitation to Spenlc
at Portland.
The Judges of the State Circuit Courts,
in conjunction with the Judges of tne
United States Courts in this district, are
arranging for the proposed celebration of
John Marshall day, February 4. Horace
G. Piatt, of an Francisco, who was In
vited to deliver the address, has accepted.
He will speak at one of the theater, prob
ably Cordray's Theater, In the afternoon.
There will be no charge for admission, as
members of the bar will defray all ex
penses by subscription. It Is intended that
a large and representative committee be
appointed to take charge of the celebra
tion, and a bar meeting will be called by
Judge Bellinger at an early date to make
arrangements. Judge George H. Williams
will deliver the address before the Legis
lature, the Justice of the Supreme Court
and Governor Geer, at Salem, the samp
evening. There is talk of arranging with
the Southern Pacific for a special car to
carry those desiring to go Salem after
Mr. Piatt's lecture.
At Seattle, the King County Bar Asso
ciation has arranged for addresses at the
University of Washington, and at tho
High School. Judge Hanford, of the
United States District Court, will deliver
the principal address at one of the thea
ters. The schools and collegesin Oregon havo
manifested Interest. Nearly all have ar
ranged for addresses on the life and work
of the great Chief Justice.
At Chicago, the celebration will be held
in the Auditorium, under the ausplcrs of
the associated committees of the Illinois
and Cook County Bar Associations. Sen
ator Henry Cabot Lodge has accepted the
invitation to deliver the occasional ad
dress. In Michigan, the principal exercises will
be held at the University of Michigan,
under the direction of the .Michigan Bar
Association.
At St. Louis, a feature of the celebra
tion will be a banquet, after which papers
will be read treating of the political con
ditions that existed at the time of Mar
shall's career, of his services as soldier,
diplomat and statesman, and of his great
life work as Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court.
Justice Gray, of the United States Su
preme Court, will deliver the address at
Richmond, Va.. the hpme of Marshall, and
a movement is on foot to purchase the
old Marshall Home place and to preserve
It for Its historic associations.
At Yale College, the Connecticut Bar
.Association will have charge of the exer
cises, Hon. Charles E. Perkins, president
of the association having been chosen as
the orator.
Chauncey M. Depew Is to be the orator
at New York City.
The address at Washington before the
President and the Justices of the Supreme
Court, and the Cabinet and members of
the Senate and House of Representa
tives, will be most notable. Wayne Mc
Veagh has been invited to deliver the ad
dress. The Governors of most of the state have
called attention to the celebration in their
messages, and President McKinley de
voted a paragraph of his message to Con
gress to the subject. Arrangements have
been made to set aside the day as a holi
day in many of the states, and the courts
will generally be closed.
It has been suggested that the address
at Portland might be instructive and in
teresting to the older pupils In
the public and private schools, and
It Is probable that some arrangement can
be made by the committee -having the
matter in charge to reserve a sufficient
number of seats to accommodate them.
While the lawyers and Judges have been
active in promoting public interest in this
celebration, the legal profession Is not
more interested than other classes of citi
zens.
CONCERNING FISHWHEELS.
Astoria Man on the Salmon Indus
try. ASTORIA, Or., Jan. 21. (To the Edi
torsDuring my residence of 21 years
in this state, the salmon industry has
enriched Oregon to the amount of ap
proximately 540,000,000, and were it not for
the destructive flshwheels at least from
510,000,000 to 515,000,000 more would have
been realized.
You say it' Is a wonder that any salmon
ever reach the w'-eels. There Is nothing
wonderful about it. The salmon have a
chance to ascend the river, because gill
nets do not obstruct the entire river, as
wheels do. The mouth of the river is
wide, steamers and sailing craft need am
ple room to pass; and, besides, the action
of the tide shifts the nets into various
positions, thus enabling sufficient num
bers of salmon to pass up to the spawn
ing grounds. If those deadly wheels did
not make it impossible for them to do so.
The number of salmon caught by those
ingenious devices (about 40,000 cases)
shows that the gill-nets do not entirely
bar the way to the salmon, as the wheels
do, and that if only half of the fish that
approach the spawning grounds were per
mitted to go -there, the supply would be
kept up and the people of the State of
Oregon would never witness the total des
truction of one of their greatest indus
tries, which now threatens them.
Here are a few bits of evidence from
unbiased authorities:
"Major W. A. Jones, United States Corps
of Engineers, In his report to the Sec
retary of War, says: "The success of the
flshwheel is painful. It has been aptly
remarked that 'they pump the fish out of
the river.' "
United States Fish Commissioner Liv
ingstone Stone said: "If we procrastinate
and put off our rescuing mission too long.
It will be too late to do any good. After
the river Is ruined and the salmon gone
they cannot be reclaimed."
Fish Commissioner Blackford says:
"The decrease Is due to the catching of
small salmon by wheels."
If these impartial and competent wit
nesses do not speak loud enough, I will
refer you to the following official table:
Salmon Facie on the Columbia.

1900 Total pack 39,304 6,077
The figures quoted do not show the en
tire catch on the Sacramento River, be
cause the major portion of the salmon
caught there is sold fresh, and there has
been no record kept of them during the
last lew years; however, it is known that
the total catoh has increased In pr6por-
tion.

1S90 Total pack 244.633 155.M6
1S99 Total pack 527,400 2S2.767
The last year quoted Is 1899, because
there was a strike on the Fraser River
In 1900, so the pack of 1900 can not fairly
be stated.
Men whose business it is to study this
question and who are neither bribed nor
Influenced to make false statements, have
repeatedly stated that the stationing of
flshwheels across the narrow passage up
the river through which the pregnant sal
mon must pass to their natural spawning
ground is the cause of this awful decline
in one of Oregon's great industries The
great decrease in the pack (despite, all
artificial propagation) speaks eloquently
enough to make any one who has the
best interests of all the people at heart
pause and reflect.
On the Columbia River, where these
pumping machines pump the salmon out
of the river, the catch has decreased an
nually, while on the Sacramento and
Fraser Rivers, where the state allows only
gill-net fishing, the catch has Increased
annually.
This Is a serious question with the men
who must risk their lives In their effort
to earn a livelihood, and Incidentally in
crease the prosperity of the whole state;
and the people's representatives at Salem,
in whose hands the Interests of the hum
ble as well a3 the Influential are In
trusted, should take this question to heart.
This is not a fight against any section of
the state, nor against any corporation,
except, where their interests clash with
the interests of the whole state. If they
hold an indefensible position, which en
dangers Oregon's great, salmon Industry,
it is" to be regretted, but the general good
should be above sectional or personal
considerations.
Nature has ordained that the salmon
seek a safe spawning ground above tide
water, and the laws of the state should
work in harmony with nature and re
store the supply of this splendid food fish.
Permit me to add what C. B. Sword,
Inspector of Fisheries of British Colum
bia, has to say as to why that province
has seen fit to prohibit flshwheels near
tidewater: "The object of the regulation
as to tidal water is to prevent the fish
being taken when In a narrow river on
their way to the spawning ground, where
they would have no chance of escape."
I have the letter from Commissioner
Sword, with the above statement, in my
possession. Very sincerely yours,
HERMAN WISE.

PORTLAND, Jan. 22. (To the Editor.)
There is nothing better than a run across
the North American Continent and back
to make us mindful of the blessings that
surround us on the Pacific Coa3t. It
means the old story of being cured of
the desire again to live in the Eastern
States. I am one of several hundred
thousand people out here who, under a
cheerfully energetic manner of wrestling
with life, cherished a longing to make a
pile and Inen go back and live and die
in the homo of my fathers my native
state. -I am cured, and it Is sweet to be
cured. All such persons, with their secret
longing for the dear land of their child
hood, can so be cured, and the sooner
they are cured the better for them. This
process of healing imagined sore and ten
der hearts has been applied similarly In
countless cases of returned prodigals. The
operation will continue on indefinitely, and
I say bully for the superb railroads that
render the speclficlally therapeutical jour
ney so effective, pleasing and wholesome.
It's the nicest kind of a trip, and Just
as soon as one can spare the money, he
or she should go. It will be found rich
in results for mind and body. It will re
store your mind to perfect health, and
with a normal mind, viewing things as
they are, and not distorting them in ac
cordance with the sentimental standards
of your memorized past, your body will
have its rightful chance of proper devel
opment. While In. New York I did not feel lone
ly as a Portlander, for I met in the gay
assemblage at the Waldorf-Astoria: Mr.
Louis Lang, Mr. and Mrs. T. B. "Wilcox,
Dr. and Mrs. Holt C. AVllson, Mr. and
Mrs. 'M. R. Wells, John Barrett and A.

As I rode into the Union Depot at Port

lifted my hat and said devoutly:" ''God

EXCELSIOR ADDITION", Jan. 21.-(To
the Editor.) On the editorial page of the
18th Inst, is a description of "an animal"
said to claim its origin in Woodstock
precinct. All who read can name it to
suit themselves, but Is Woodstock the only
place where such "animals" exist? And
are there not two sides to an argument?
The man who works hard all day and
pays for his seat on a car feels he should
have some rights to consideration, and
the management, who crowd oars till it
Is almost Impossible to get on or off, and
In consequence are always behind sched
ule time, are pursuing a very narrow pol
icy, to say the least. And th6 stock
holders of such a line are they the phil
anthropists they would make us believe?
And are they likely to work for the best
Interests of the people they are so anx
ious to represent in our General Govern
ment? Let our Legislators relegate them
to a back seat, and give a little needed
legislation for the benefit of the masses,
who toll all day, and then stand in an
overcrowded car for an hour to reach
their home, or walk, while those who re
ceived the rights and franchises from
the people, promising everything and giv
ing abuse and Inuendos to the class who
try to claim a privilege which they pay''
for every time they get on a car, but
which they very seldom receive In full.

the train to Troutdale with a light heart
and bright prospects. He drove out from
Troutdale and was making for the home
of his sweetheart when he met a high
wayman who covered him with a big
pistol and commanded him to throw up
his hands.
At first Wihlow could not realize what
was wanted, so absorbed was he in con
templation of his coming blissful state.
The robber repeated the command In no
uncertain way and poked Henry on the
nose with the end of the pistol. That
took all the sentimentality and poetry out
of poor Henry, and his hands were quick
ly elevated. The burglar first went
through the pockets of the prospective
bridegroom and took 515 50, which he had
saved to help pay for the wedding feast.
The young man groaned as the thug ab
stracted the cash from his pockets, but
tho worst was yet to come. Having emp
tied Henry's trousers pockets the high
wayman searched his coat as ' well.
"Great heavens!" thought Henry, "will
he take the marriage license?" The high
wayman foun- the precious document
carefully stowed away inside the coat,
and against the earnest protests of the
victim took it with the cashl Having de
prived iienry of all that seemed worth
living for. the highwayman ordered him
to proceed on his journey, which he did,,
but in no joyous frame of mind. The
wedding could not take place until the
license was recovered or another one Is
sued. The next day the license "was found
on the Troutdale road soiled with mud,
about a mile from where Wihlow was
held up.
