BAD FOR FISH PROPAGATION.
Dam in Clackamas River "Will Inter
fere in a Mcaxare.
SALEM, Or., May C The State Board
of Fish Commissioners held a meeting to
day, but only business of a routine nature
was considered. H. G. Van Dusen, Mas
ter Fish Warden, submitted his report of
licenses collected for the month of April,
which amounted to J2232 50. To that
amount should be added an item of $19 33
that was received for 387 pounds of con
traband salmon, making the total receipts
for the month $2251 85. Licenses were is
sued as follows:
241 Individual fllshlng licenses $ 341 CO
SOI gillnet fishing licenses 752 50
45 setnet fishing licenses 45 00
2 seine licenses (each 1800 feet) 72 00
1 seine license (600 feet) 12 00
9 fish dealers licenses (first class) 90 00

8 stationary wheel licenses 200 00
4 scow wheel licenses GO 00
4 trap wheel licenses 60 00
Total ?2232 50
Mr. Van Dusen says the construction
of a dam in the Clackamas River about
30 miles above Oregon City by the Port
land City & Oregon Railway Company,
as a means of securing water power, will
Interfere In a measure with salmon propa
gation on the Upper Clackamas. It Is
proposed to convey the water from the
natural channel of the river for about 1H
miles around a cliff to a point where a
waterfall of 12? feet -can be utilized for
generating power. The Clackamas hatch
ery is located about 30 miles above the
point where the dam Is to be placed, and
the placing of this obstruction In the
stream will prevent the salmon from de
scending, but the commission may over
come the obstacle by providing a fish lad.
der to enable the fish to reach the lower
channel of the river. Mr. Van Dusen says
the Clackamas hatchery is one of the
most valuable owned by the state, and
thinks conditions are tavorable for Its
continuance.

tion to follow the young man and marry

Better Lights for Salem.
SALEM, Or., May 6. Salem's munici
pal officers have been notified, by the lo
cal electric company, which has the con
tract for electric street lighting, that
eight of the 1200 candle power street arc
lights will, In the near future, be sub
stituted by the same number of 2000
candle power arc lamps. This concession
on the part of the electric company, since
only 1200 candle power lamps are required
in the existing nve-year contract, is be
lieved to have resulted from the pending
agitation and investigation by the city
of municipal ownership of the electric
light plant. New street lamps of In
creased candle power will do much to
meet objection that has "been made on
account of Inadequate lighting of the
streets.

alarm system.

the Willamette steel bridge at Salem.

ported in dangerous condition.

QUEEN DOES NOT IMPROVE
WILHELMIXA'S CONDITION EXCITES
ANXIETY.
She Is So Wenlc She Has Been Unable
to Take Any Nourishment Since
Last Saturday.
THE HAGUE, May 7. Advices received
here from Castle Loo, dited 1 o'clock
this (Wednesday) morning, declare that
Queen "Wllhelmlna's condition again ex
cites grave anxiety. Another consulta
tion of the Queen's .doctors was held at
11 o'clock last night.' The result of this
consultation Is not known. Extreme se
crecy is maintained as to the contents
of the tclegrims dispatched from Loo
Palace. This and other measures are be
lieved to Indicate that the condition of
Her Majesty Is much graver than appears
from the regular bulletins. It is said
the Queen Is so weak that she has been
unable to tike any nourishment sincee
last Saturday.
The Queen Mother and the Prince Con
sort remain continuously at Her Majes
ty's bedside. Dr, Rocsslng very carefully
dictates whatever news concerning Queen
Wllhelmlna's condition Is Issued frqm the
palace, and he declines to say anything
further concerning hl3 patient. The
weather at Castle Loo continues very
cold.
Tuesday's Bulletin.
THE HAGUE, May 6. Queen Wilhol
mlna's physicians in their morning bulle
tin issued at Castle Loo say:
"After a slight rise in her temperature
yestereday evening the Queen had a quiet
night and slept most of the time. Her
temperature this morning Is normal and
her condition filrly satisfactory, al
though the patient still requires great
care and attention."
A bulletin posted at 2 P. M. today an
nounced that Queen Wllhelmlna's tem
perature had "continued normal up to
the present," and said that Her Majesty's
"other symptoms did not call for special
remark."
Those in attendance on the Queen are
by no means fully reassured by tho medi
cal bulletins, which seem to Indicate that
'the physicians themselves are uncertain
as to the course which her illness may
take. Her Majesty remains extremely
weak. Two doctors were nt her bedside
almost nil night.
Telpgrams of Inquiry and sympathy con
tinue to arrive in large numbers at Castle
Loo.
The Prince Consort's Teleprrnm.

San Francisco Bulletin.
senator acott or west Yirginia 13 a
j candidate for re-election. He is one of
three millionaires In that State who are.
desirous of the distinction of a sent In
the United States Senate. The Senator's
speeches do not occupy much space in
the. Congressional Record, but he made a
three-Hno speech i day or two since
which will generally be read. Senator
Rawlins was addressing the Senate on
the Philippine Island bill, and it became
painfully apparent that no quorum was j
present. Only five Republican Senators
cared to heir any argument any oppo- i
nent of the bill could urge against it.
The call for a quorum brought in Sen-
ator Scott. Iu response to a remark by
Senator Money that the Senate ought j
to give proper consideration to a jncas- j
ure- which involved the life, liberty j
and happiness of 10,000.000 people. Senator
Scott asked: "Does the Senator think !
that any Senator on this floor will be ,
lnfluenced by any argument that mar
l nJht "f5"0117 s Q"?8:
tlon was equivalent to an assertion that
JliZVt UJlle the United States depends for xhc per-
mind to vote regardless of the merits
of the bill. Probably he has, and prob
ably a good many other Senators have,
but most of them have sense enough to
give a seeming consideration to the ar
guments of an opponent.
IS ALCOHOL A FOOD?
A Contributor Says It Has Been
Proved to Be the Opposite.
PORTLAND, AprlTiL (To the Editor.)
If the truth concerning the true nature of
alcohol and what should be taught con
cerning It Is what The Oregonian desires
to give its readers, it cannot 'stop with
the authorities quoted la Sunday's edi
torial. ,.
That there are a strong body of scien
tists, standing solidly by the temperance
laws of our schools, is true. A few facts
should be brought forth. First of all.
however, permit me to give tho names of
the official board of "temperance dema
go.gue3" who advocate "fanatical exagger
ation and falsehood." Mary Hunt, Na
tional superintendent of the movement, is
an educator, of undisputed reputation, and
her special educational position prior to
her great work In this agitation was as
teacher of chemistry, and therefore she
was well equipped educationally herself to
lead. . Connected with her are the follow
ing advisory board: Rev. A. H. Plumb,
D. D., Boston, Mass.; Rev. Daniel Dor
chester, D. D.. West Roxbury. Mass.; Hon
W. T. Harris. LL. D National Commis
sioner of Education, Washington. D. C;

Forty years ago It did not mattor wheth
er one was scientific or not. Today It mat
tors everything in the alcohol question.
When the first school physiologies were
prepared for this special educational feat
ure, some 19 years ago, there was little
to draw from outside of a small group of
English Investigators Carpenter, Kerr
and Richardson, the latter based on actual
demonstration. These Investigations were
then, and are now. ln advance of many
other men of science.
This explains easily the false charge
often heard In some circles that the in
dorsed books contain Inaccuracies. As a
prominent physician recently said: "The
truths the Indorsed text-books contain are
new to these critics, and they do not know
they are true. With older men It is often
a matter of prejudice; with younger men
it 13 a question of demonstration."
It is nothing more than could be expected
that the inroads this education Is making
upon the gains of the drink traffickers
would" lead them to strike back, which
they have done repeatedly. Every effort
they could put forth to defeat the law In
New York was used, and failed.
On June 13, 1S99, the famous report from
a self-appointed committee of 50, to srova
tho Inaccuracies of the Indorsed next
books, was sprung upon the country by a
verbal account given by Professor At
water before a small club In Middletown,
Conn., of experiments made, and he claim
ed they proved alcohol to be a food, and
that our schools were teaching errors.
The next morning this remarkable piece
of information was made public. The
great press of our country reiterated it,
one and all: Was It proven that Profes
sor Atwater was right? Distinguished spe-
clallsts like Seneca Egbert, A. M., M. D.,
professor of hygiene In the Medlco-Chlru-gical
College, of Philadelphia, and Frank
Woodbury. A. M M. D.. fellow of the
College of Physicians, of Philadelphia,
associate professor of larynxology In tho
Philadelphia Polyclinic and College for
Graduates; say:
"Professor Atwater's own figures, as set
forth In bulletin No". 69 of the United
States Department of Agriculture, do not
support his claim. His experiments are
too limited In scope to furnish any data
upon which to base his charge against the
indorsed books; attempts to prove Inac
curacy have failed utterly. Volumes of
testimony from the best authorities ln the
world could be given showing the false
ness of Atwater's charge.'

the annual gathering- of Superintendents
of Schools of the United States, that body
passed a resolution appointing a commit
tee of seven to report upon the teaching
of physiology in the schools, with special
reference to the progress of scientific In
quiry as to the action of alcohol on the
human system, etc. The committee was a
strong one. This committee reported.
February, 1S01, "that no evidence found
warranted teaching children that alcohol
is a food." Thus was Professor Atwater's
pet scheme laid low.
vhy is it that a leading English Journal

entific temperance Instruction-Is a great
factor ln tne comracrcral supremacy of the
URlted States? It was not long ago that a
quotatIon from g journal to this effect
appenred in The Oregonian.
The truth Is that alcono:ism ls rcCog-
nizea as never before as a National men-
ace. and how to remove it is a world
cM;, tt . ,i,.., ,-
petulty of good government. That there
are "dangers ln ignorance" Is always a
settled truth, and before any one de
nounces the teaching of temperance truth
as found ln indorsed text-books they
should bo willing to put preconceived
prejudice aside and not take the decree
of any one scientist as final, but study
the matter from all standpoints. That
there are good and bad text-books goes
without saying. It may be well to add
that, owing to all this attack on the
text-books, there has been a new series
compiled representing the researches of
young scientists who have made special
study from a perfectly unbiased, unpreju
diced point of view. L. H. A.
