International Hatchery
Is Up Again.
PUGET SOUND GETS WISH
Hay Will Invite British Co
kimbia to a Conference.
NOTE WILL BE SENT SOON
'-Commissioner Bowers Does Not Be
lieve a Meeting Can Be Arranged,
but Is Willing to Give Wash
ington Men a Chance.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington, Dec 2. The Secretary of State to
day advised Senator Foster that he
would. In accordance with his late re
quest, and on recommendation of Fish
Commissioner Bowers, extend to the
Canadian Mlnlstervof Marine and Fisher
ies and representatives of the fisheries de
partment of British Columbia, an Invita
tion to meet with representatives of the
Fish Com'mlss'lon of the State of Wash
ington and of the United States and con
sider the long-pending proposition of es
tablishing an international salmon hatch
ery on Fraser River, British Columbia.
Commissioner Bowers has all along
taken the position that it will be Imprac
ticable to attempt to operate a Joint
hatchery controlled by both Governments,
but Is willing to do anything that will
promote the salmon Industry of Puget
Bound. He makes It plain, however, that
official information in his possession indi
cates that the Canadian and British Co
lumbian Associates arc not favorably In
clined toward the establishment of a.
hatchery In conjunction with the state of
Washington, statements by Commissioner
Kershaw, of Washington, to the contrary
notwithstanding.
Secretary Hay intends at an early day
to extend an invitation to the Canadian
officials through the British Embassy In
this city, and if the invitation Is accepted,
it la expected that the prolonged discus
sion of conflicting rights of the Puget
Sound and British Columbian lishermen
jnay be finally adjusted.
SHOWS FAITH IN BANCROFT.
Postal Department Does Not Believe
There Is a Shortage in Portland.
WASHINGTON, Dec 2. Senator
.Mitchell this morning received a letter
from a friend in Portland, announcing
the fact that a rumor was current there
that trouble was brewing in the Portland
postoffice, and that enemies of Postmaster
Bancroft were endeavoring to make
trouble for him.
Soon after he received the letter the
Senator read the press dispatch announc
ing that postal inspectors had discovered
an "I. O. U." for over ?SO0 taken from the
cash drawer. With Senator Fulton, later
in the day. Senator Mitchell called at tho
Postoffice Department. They were told
the department had no information con
cernlng such shortage, and believed none
existed.
In response to a telegram he sent to
Portland, Senator Fulton tonight received
Q. reply stating there was nothing in tho
Teport of a shortage. The Oregon Sena
tors think the whole affair will blow over
without serious consequences. They be
lieve that while there may have been
some slight Infraction of tho regulations
due to inexperience. Postmaster Bancroft
.has purposely done nothing wrong.
In ordering the Inspection of the Port
land office, along with all other leading
postoffices in the country, the Postoffice
Department had no knowledge of Irregu
larities at Portland. If any were un
earthed it was in the due course of work
-of the inspectors. No report has yet been
received from the Inspectors now in Port-Sand.

ASK FOR HIS APPROVAL.
Washington Men Call Upon Architect
In Behalf of Public Buildings.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Dec 2. Senator Foster and Rep
resentative Cushman today called to
gether on Supervising Architect Taylor,
of the Treasury, to urge him to act fa
vorably upon tho bills calling for In
creased appropriations for the public
building at Seattle, Tacoma and Spokane.
Taylor said he was anxious that the in
crease asked should be authorized fof
Seattle, so a granite building might be
erected, and ho will probably recommend
that' the limit of cost of the Tacoma
building bo fixed at $800,000, or $S50,000, and
at Spokane, 5750,000.
Architect Taylor says that the $400,000
already authorized for Tacoma and Spo
kane will not erect buildings of such size
w-. tuui aiyie as are demanded at tnose cities.
for more than is necessary.

The entire Washington delegation to-
Sky called on Secretary Root and urged
a reconsideration of the recent decision
of the General Staff to locato the artil
lery headquarters on Puget Sound at Fort
Flagler. The members of the delegation
say General Funston's chief of staff
after an investigation, reported that head
quarters should be located at Fort Wor
den, and they ask that this be done Sec
retary Root will go further Into the facta
before acting on the recommendation of
the General Staff.
LIGHT FOR INDIAN SCHOOL.
Department Favors Purchase of
Springs to Secure Power for Plant.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, pec 2. Some modern system of
lighting! must be installed at the Colville
Indian School, in Eastern Washington, to
supplant the present obsolete system of oil
lamps, which are dangerous and generally
unsatisfactory- The Indian Bureau has
been making Investigations to determine
what form of lighting can most satis
factorily be installed, and has concluded
that electricity will give better results
than gas.
The question now arises. Where shall
the power be derived? An estimate made
on a plant for taking water from the
Spokane River and carrying it by a canal
to the school site shows that It would be
very expensive. Located in the moun
tains, 450 feet above the school, however,
are a series of large springs with a daily
discharge of 100.000 gallons of water, and
It Is found the flow from these springs can
be controlled at a moderate cost, and will
afford ample power, and In addition pro
vide sufficient water for irrigating the
school grounds.
These springs are located upon prlyate
land which is held at about $4500. The
Indian Office will probably recommend
that an appropriation of this amount be
made so that the lands containing the
springs may be acquired by" the Govern
ment and the water be carried by flumes
to the school plant. It is estimated that
the installation of a power and electric
lighting plant will cost about $9000 In addi
tion to the cost of. the water.
RECRUIT FOR 1905 FAIR ARMY
Virginia Delegation Is Expected to
Work on a Reciprocity Basis.
WASHINGTON Dec 2. The Virginia
delegation promise to become recruits In
the army that is being marshaled by Sen
ator Mitchell in support of his Lewis and
Clark Exposition Bill. Representative
Maynard, of Virginia, gave a dinner at
Norfolk tonight to launch the boom for
an appropriation for an exposition to be
made commemorating the COOth anniver
sary of the settlement of Jamestown. A
considerable number of Congressmen were
in attendance.
On a reciprocal basis it is expected that
Virginia will turn In and support the
Lewis and Clark bill, while the Oregon
delegation will be expected to lend Its
aid to the Jamestown measure when it
makes Its appearance.
Puyaliup Bids Exceed Allowance.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Dec 2. Two bids have been re
ceived by the Indian Office for the erec
tion of a girls' dormitory school building
and an addition to the boys' dormitory at
the Puyaliup Indian School, near Tacoma,
but the price asked in each case exceeds
the allowance. It may be determined to
erect only the two new buildings, omit
ting the addition to the boys' dormitory
until a further appropriation can be se
cured. The bids received were from Den
nis Harrlgan, of Tacoma, $30,455, and Lis
ter & Scott, of Tacoma. $34,567.
