PROTECT FISH AND GAME
MEMBERS OF STATE ASSOCIATION
DISCUSS SUBJECT.
Indian Depredations "Will Be Taken.
Up J. X. Teal, President, Advo
cates Fly-Canting: ToHrnameat.
At the annual meeting of the Oregon
Fish and Game Association, adjourned
over from the 11th of last Navember.
most of the officers were re-elected and
reports of officers were submitted. For
the first time the membership outside of
Portlmd was recognized in the selection
of officers, a vice-president and six direc
tors being chosen from other towns. The
new officers are as follows:
President, J. N. Teal; vice-president,
J. E. Krause, of Pendleton; secretary, A.
E. Gebhardt; treasurer, John Cran; direc
tors. Dr. A. C. Panton, L. T. Barin, Dr.
E. F. Tucker. D. M. Dunne. E. W. Black
stone, all of Portland: G. S. Nlckerson, of
Klamath Falls: H. S. Garfield, of Pendle
ton: W. T. Wright, of Union; L. S. Fritz,
of The Dalles; Edwin Stone, of Albany;
A L. Fox, of Astoria.
The latter six of the directors were ap
pointed by the president, after the con
stitution had been amended so as to re
quire It. The president, vice-president,
secretary -and treasurer are members of
the board of directors.
The first formal order to come up for
consideration was the correspondence of
the association relating to fish and game
matters. Secretary Gebhardt summarized
this by saying that complaints had been
received from the Klamath country to
the effect that the legal limit of 125 trout
to the fisherman was too liberal on Klam
ath Lake, where the fish are a great deal
larger than elsewhere In the state; that
Indian depredations, particularly In the
"Wallowa country, was a source of vexa
tion and Injury to the game Interests and
that Congress should give state officers
exclusive jurisdiction over Indians off
the reservations; that the present pheas
ant season opened too late and the date
should be changed from October 1 to
September 15.
Secretary Gebhardfs annual report
showed the "total membership of the as
sociation to be 309, including one hon
orary member. President Roosevelt. Of
these. 108 lived In Portland, and the oth
ers were divided among 25 other townsof
the state. On the subject of fish propa
gation, fish and game protection, the re
port says:
During the year approximately the following
number of trout have been planted by the as
sociation: Umatilla County In the North Fork of
Meacham Creek. 40.000 Montana grayling; In
Bear Creek. 10.000 Montana grayling; in Mc
Kay Creek. 10.000 rainbow trout.
Union County In Catherine Creek, 50,000
Montana grayling.
Clatsop County In the Upper Necanlcum,
00,000 Eastern brook trout: In the Lower Ne
canlcum, 20.000 rainbow trout.
Clackamas County In Clear Creek, 10,000
brook trout.
Linn County In Cox Creek, 10,000 Eastern
brook trout.
Besides these, about COO Lake Superior lake
trout yere planted In Meadow Lake. "Washing
ton County, and an equal number In a small
lake, which Is not known by any specific name,
near Hood River.
The secretary also reports that he has made
definite arrangements with the United States
Fish Commission for a large supply of trout
Jor the coming Spring and Summer season. He
haa also asked the United States Fish Com
mission for certain other species of fish, such
as the bass, perch and pickerel, but has re
ceived no encouragement from the commission
In this line because of the danger to the sal
mon industry that would be Incurred thereby.
The work of the association In regard to fish
and game protection has been quite satisfactory-
Reports from every section of the 'State
are to the effect that more interest Is now
being taken In the question of game and fish
protection than ever before. This is al60
manifested by the- numerous requests which
the secretary has received for Information con
cerning the different varieties of fish and game,
and also for information concerning the terms
and meaning of the new game law. It Is be
ginning to look as If the people of Oregon are
awakening to a Just appreciation of the value
and Importance of our fish and game Interests.
The new game law, which was drawn up at
the suggestion of the association, and which
was enacted by the last Legislature, eeems to
have given general satisfaction. A few of Its
provisions should, perhaps, be changed, such
as the opening season for pheasants, but, on
the whole, the criticisms of the law. when
sifted down, have generally come from those
who are not In favor of any game law. It is
to be regretted, however, that the appropria
tion for Its enforcement is so small that It is
with difficulty that the Game Warden and his
deputies have been able to enforce the law.
The validity and constitutionality of the new
law have been upheld by both state and Fed
eral courts In every Instance In which any of
its provisions have been questioned.
Through the courtesy of the Game "Warden
and the Secretary of State the secretary of this
association has been able to distribute about
1200 copies of the game laws in various sec
tions of the state.
The most flagrant violations of the fish and
game laws appear to have been In Tillamook,
Klamath and Wasco Counties. As soon as
these were reported to your secretary prompt
steps were taken to ascertain the truth and To
bring the offenders to justice; but. owing to
the difficulty of producing convincing proof in
such cases, some of the guilty parties have es
caped unpunished. The prompt appearance of
the Game Warden and his deputies on the
scene, however, has certainly had a deterring
effect, and from more recent reports the of
fenses complained of have not been repeated.
Something should be done to secure Federal
legislation making Indians upon reservations
amenable to state laws. It that can be done.
The reports of Indian depredations in Wallowa
County are such as to demand prompt and
drastic measures.
The annual report of Treasurer Cran
showed the receipts of the past year to
have been ?25S and the disbursements
$184 3, and the balance In the treasury
was $SG 2. B. Neustadter was appointed
to examine and verify the report of the
treasurer.
President Teal had no formal report to
present, but he spoke briefly of several
matters within the scope of the associ
ation. Chief of these were the fly-casting
of Lawyer Walter D. Mansfield, of San
Francisco, whom he wished to have come
to Oregon to conduct a fly-casting tourna
ment. Mr. Mansfield is the champion fly
caster of the world. He has cast 140 feet,
and also holds the official record of 130
feet. The president hoped fly-casting
"would become a prominent feature of
Spring and Summer sport in Oregon.
The matter of giving outside members
the privilege of voting by mall was dis
cussed. The motive behind this move was
to get the interest of the people of the
state in the work of this association. It
would be necessary to nominate the offi
cers a month or two in advance In order
to get the tickets out among the member
ship of the state. As such nominations,
it was concluded, would be made at a
Portland meeting by Portland people, the
result of voting by mall upon nominations
so made would be no more satisfactory,
it was thought, than the present method.
So that proposition was abandoned.
Upon motion of L. T. Barlri, however,
the constitution of the association was so
amended as to increase the number of di
rectors of the organization from nine to 15,
and the- president was authorized to ap
point the additional six from other cities
in the state. Then the constitution was
further amended so as to change the time
for the annual meeting from the first Sat
urday in December to the first Tuesday
in that month.
The president was authorized to appoint
two committees one of five members to
be known as the legislative committee, the
duty of which would be to look over the
fish and game laws of the state and rec
ommend such changes as might be deemed
desirable, and the other to consist of two
members, the duty of which would be to
urge upon Congress the matter of taking
such action as would reduce Indian dep
redations on came in violation of state
laws. The committees were not appointed
at the meeting.
Then cam the annual election, -with re
sult as above given, and a number of new
members were admitted. Secretary Geb
hardt said 10G new members had been
received in the past year.
CAR MEN ASK FOR MORE PAY
City A Sabarban Employes "Want In
crease of 12 Per Cent.
A committee of car operatives waited
on Superintendent Campbell, of the City

Mr. Campbell assured the men that their

FOR EAST SIDE BOULEVARDS.
Commission In "to Be Incorporated
With 33000 Cnxiital Stock.
The Portland Boulevard Commission
held a well-attended meeting yesterday
afternoon in the office of E. B. Madden.
Nearly all the local push clubs were repre
resentcd. W. W. Plimpton, chairman,
presided. Waldemar Seton, secretary, read
the minutes of the previous meeting.
D. M. Donaugh. chairman of the com
mittee on articles of Incorporation, read
the report of the committee. Articles
of Incorporation of the Portland Boule
vard Commission, with capital stock
placed at 53000, were submitted, signed by
the following prominent citizens: W. W.
Plimpton, William Frasler, J. S. Seed,
A. W. Moore. E. L. Thompson. G. Rosen
blatt. H. C. Breeden. F. B. Gibson. C. H.
Carey. Richard Nixon, E. House, A. H.
Tanner, W. A. Knight, J. M. Meker, T.
H. Adams. John H. Burgard.
On motion the report of the committee
was accepted, and the same committee
was Instructed to perfect the organizalon
of the corporation. The articles will be
filed and provisions made for opening the
stock books of the company.
Communications were received from the
Peninsula and the Eleventh Boards of
Trade, notifying the commission of the
appointment of delegates to represent
those organizations on the commission.
Frank 3. Gibson, by invitation, explained
the purpose of the ccmmlss.ion. He showed
that in the opening of the boulevard sys
tems In Detroit, Mich., and In other cities
the first steps had been In the organization
of a corporation with power to handle
land. It would be necessary In order to
get through certain tracts to buy land,
and mdre than would be required
for the right of way. The land
not used could be sold after the boulevard
had been opened for enough to make good
all losses. In the case of some cities,
where these wide highways had been
opened, there had been a profit, but In
other instances there had been a loss.
This, he said, depended on the conditions.
The general rule had been that the land
affected by the opening of a boulevard
greatly appreciated in value.
The object, said Mr. Gibson, was to open
a system of boulevards for the entire East
Side, connecting the South End with those
already opened on the Peninsula. ' The
details of the work would le largely car
ried out by the corporation up to -a cer
tain point, when it would be turned, over
to the city. He explained that a boule
oard was not a street, but was really an
extended park, and as such should be
cared for, as the city parks are cared for.
It would not do to saddle the expense of
improving a boulevard and Its mainte
nance upon the adjacent property-owners.
Dr. A "W. Moore, of the committee ap
pointed to ask the Charter Commission
to Insert a clause In the new charter pro
viding that boulevards should 'be cared
for the same as parks, reported that the
provisions asked for had been granted by
the commission, but, unfortunately, in the
revision this had been dropped out.
Mr. Gibson, also of this committee, said
that he had labored hard to get a provis
ion Inserted for the care of boulevards
the same as the parks, but the committee
on revision had so far declined to do so,
and had stricken out the provision that
had first been agreed on. Mr. Gibson said
that, as far as his observation went, the
city could not have a system of boule
vards unless they were cared for and
maintained by the city, the same as the
parks. This was the course taken in
other cities. On motion, Frank B. Gib
son. Dr. A W. Moore, Professor E. D.
Curtis and J. B. Easter were appointed
a committee to wait on the revision
t
Charter Committee and urge that this
provision be inserted.
The commission then adjourned to meet
again at the call of the chairman.

William Anplund's Leg: Broken.
Frances, daughter of Foreman J. H.
Richmond, of the Morrison bridge, while
coasting at Sunnyside yesterday, met-with
an accident by which her collar bone was
broken. She started down the hill on her
sled,vbut In some way it turned arouna,
throwing her" on her head and shoulder
with great force, breaking her collar bone.
William Asplund sustained the fracture
of his left leg while coasting on Beacdn
Hill, Brooklyn, last evening. He was
steering a bobsled when It collided with a
telephone pole. He was taken to his
home and a physician called.
Beacon street Is a dangerous place to
coast. At the foot of the Incline Is MI1
waukle street, where the big electric cars
of the Portland City & Oregon Railway
Company arc passing every 20 minutes.
Some of the coasters slide clear across
the track. The view of approaching cars

lided with a car yesterday at this place.
"Was Taking HI Constitutional.
Some alarm has been caused In the
neighborhood of Architect Otto Klce
mann's house, on the corner of Belmont
and East Thirteenth streets recently. A
ghostly figure, in bare feet, has been no
ticed between 4 and 5 o'clock fn the morn
ing, marching up and down the middle of
Belmont street. Milkmen have been badly
frightened and paper-carriers have en
countered the apparition on their rounds.
and declared they had seen a ghost. There
need be no alarm. The figure they have
been seeing Is only Architect Klecmann,
taking his morning constitutional. Mr.
Kleemann declares that he has found the
elixir of eternal youth and longevity with
out cost, and open and free to the whole
human race. He gets up In the morning.
In light and airy attire. In his bare feet,
and strides up and down the street In the
snow, while the Invigorating breezes off
Mount Hood cause every nerve to vi
brate with rejuvenated energy. Accord
ing to-h!s story the result has been highly
satisfactory to him. He has been trying
to Induce some of his friends who have
allings to throw physics and patent med
icines to the dogs and join with him In
enjoying Nature's sure cure, but all have
refused and he has to go it alone.
Get FrecDelIvery Saturday.
Next Saturday is the time fixed for In
augurating free mail delivery In the
southeastern district, according to peti
tion from the Clinton Kelly Board or
Trade. As has been the experience in
the outside districts, it will take some
little time before the carrier becomes fa
miliar with the location of the houses.
This will be accomplished quicker than
at Mount Tabor, for the reason that the
houses are numbered and can be easily
found.
For Library Fnnd.
The ninth B class In the Brooklyn

"For Her Sake."
In the new Russo-Slberlan play, "For
Her Sake," there Is one scene which must
fall little short of the terrific, viewed
from the standpoint of dramatic effect.
It -is a flogging episode. The knout, as
the Russian cat-o'-nlne-talls is called, is
made to figure, and the victim of the lash
Is a serf girl whose only offense, it would
appear from a reading of the plot of the
play. Is that she has won the love of a
prince of the blood. The play Is said to
depict with startling accuracy the penal
system of the Czar's dominion, and true
to real life; It is also said to be not with
out the lighter touch of wholesome com
edy. The play will be seen at Cordray's
Sunday night and all next week. ;
Mnrvel "With Firearms.
Coleman & Mexis. who are among the
topllners of the vaudeville programme
which will begin at the Baker Sunday af
ternoon, are said to be without equals in
their line. Among the feats which have
surprised their audiences Is the shooting
of a rapid-fire pistol by the man Into an
eight-Inch target on the woman's breast.
Double mirror shots, the shooting of glass
balls from the head of one member or
the team, and other equally difficult and
astonishing feats are among the achieve
ments of these crack shots. Many other
entertaining features are on the pro
gramme, which promises to afford the
most enjoyable evening ever spent at the
theater.
The sale of seats will open at the box
office of the theater at 10 o'clock this
morning.

" 'I know one dish I can prepare for
breakfast as well as any cook on earth.'
said my husband one day when the cook
was ill and he had volunteered to help
get breakfast. He appeared with his dish
and I discovered it was Grape-Nuts,
which, of course, was easy to prepare,
for It was perfectly cooked at the fac
tory, but It was a good illustration of the
convenience of having Grape-Nuts about.
"We just added a little cream, and, of
course, had a delicious bit of food. We
took up Grape-Nuts Immediately after
returning from a five years' sojourn In
a hot country and our stomachs were in
bad condition and we were In bad health
generally.
"When we first tried It I confess we
thought there were other and better
things to eat, and were told we must ac
quire a taste for this new food. Sure
enough. In a day or two we liked Grape
Nuts better than any other kind of food
on the table. We both gained steadily
In health and strength, and this was
caused by Gnipe-Nuts and Postum Food
Coffee.
"A friend of ours had a similar experi
ence. She was seriously 111 with indiges
tion and could find nothing to eat that
would not give her heartburn and palpi
tation, especially at night.
"She found that a small dish of Grape
Nuts with cream made her a satisfactory
supper and gave her a comfortable night's
rest. In a short time she has gained
several pounds In weight." The writer

- CHINESE MEET AT ALTAR.
Gal Yotf, a Local Belle, Is Wedded
to Woiik Chung.
In the simply-decorated Chinese Mission
of the United 'Brethren Church, at 213
Second street, last evening. Gal Yow, a
belle of the Chinese' colony, was united
in uiuruuKe w vt ung v-uuny, oi me ii
Wo Company. The wedding was very
quiet. Not more than 50 friends, native
and foreign-born Chinese and white peo-
pie, were present, and as all were well
acquainted with both the bride and
groom, the scene presented was that of
a happy family gathering
At S:45 o'clock the bride entered the
mission, led by two little girls and at -
tended by Mrs. Yum Coy. She was attired
In a blue wedding dress, and as sne
passed up the aisle Miss Bowen, a teacher
at the mission, softly played a wedding
march. At the platform the bride was
Joined by her bridesmaid. Quay Ling,
daughter of Moy Ling, and by the groom
and his best man, Bow Wing, a son or
Charley Twin Wo. The marriage cere
mony was then performed by the Rev.
Lester B. Clark, of the United Brethren
Church, and after congratulations re
freshments were served.
The bride, who Is a pretty Chinese girl.
Is a native of Portland, a daughter of
the late Me Kim, a pioneer merchant, and
is about 23 years old. In her childhood
she was sent to China, and when she
returned, eight years ago, she had con
siderable difficulty In securing landing.
By a misinterpretation of the answers to
questions by the Chinese Interpreter, the
late Thomas J. Black, then Collector of
Customs, was led to believe that she was
not a native of this country, and refused
to allow her to leave the steamer. The
case was appealed to the United States
District Court, and after hearing a great
deal of evidence. Judge Bellinger decided
that she was entitled to land. When the
decision was rendered she took up her
home with her father and remained with
him until his death, six or seven years
ago. Since that time she has been a
guest at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Seld
Back.
