THE KOBOTNtf OREGOMAN,' WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1904L TO HEALTHE BREACH Prohis Seek to Conciliate Anti Saloon League. COMMITTEE TO ASK ITS- AID Celd-Water Advocates Desire to Pre sent-a Solid Front to the Enemy and Prevent Amendment of Local Option Law. To strike terror Into the hearts ol liquor hosts, to exult over recent reverses of the rum demon, to. spur officers of the law toward enforcement of the "dry" edict, and to smooth the way for rapproche ment with the Anti-Saloon League and other local option forces which Jumped the track in the election November 8, bright gems of the prohibition diadem in Oregon gathered Into a cluster at the Y. M. C. A. Monday and shed their com bined effulgence on many matters and things. Some 40 brethren were there, represent ing the counties of linn, Yamhill, Benton, Clackamas, Multnomah, Sherman and Polk, while a dozen or more absent spirits were present by letter. Yesterday morning the conference was resumed, and financial matters were discussed.- About $6000 had been expended In the state and Presidential elections. Had it been wise to force the issue of county prohibition? res, the gentlemen believed that action to have been "logi cal and consistent," hence they adopted a resolution to that effect with one of the loudest noises that they had emitted for many a day. However, they regretted that the question had been so misunder stood in Multnomah County as to split the forces that had worked for the local option law last June. Ought prohibition now to be enforced in dry counties and precincts? ares, in deed, and officers sworn to enforce the law should not be suffered to forget their oath. Prohis in each .county should see to It that the "dry" mandate .was carried out wherever it was ordained. The gentlemen thought It would be well for the political health of the lawmakers to put on the brakes when approaohing the question of amending the law at the next legislative session. If the solons are not looking for trouble they would bettor give the law a fair trial as it stands, thought the brethren. "Whereat they voted a very stern "No" to the proposition of amendment. Not feeling themselves strong enough to defend the law against Its enemies all alone, the cold-water advocates decided to Invite to their aid other organizations such as the Anti-Saloon League. To that end a committee of seven members was appointed to draw nigh the erstwhile al lies of prohibition and bridge the gulf that has yawned on the hither side of the lat ter domains. The committee consists of the following stalwarts: I. H. Amos, F, McKercher. T. S. McDanlel. J. P. Newell, H. "W. Stone and B. Lee Paget, of Port- land, and W. P. Elmore, of Brownsville. The Anti-Saloon League was charily handled, for the gentlemen dreaded Its ire: they discussed the effect of the league's attitude on the " party vote; the league's disposition In each coun ty toward the Prohi party; . the proper attitude of Individual Prohis toward the league, and how that body might be in duced again to jog along the Prohi road with them. One 61 the most witty breth ren compared the rum traffic with a- hor nets' nest and paid that after the Anti Saloon League had been In politics as long as the Prohis they would lean that ,the way to fight' & nes6'of such not-tailed Insects was not to sit on It. RELEASED PROM CUSTODY. Aged Soldier . Found Not Guilty of Threatening to Kill. "I believe him to be dangerous. He threatened to fill Harness full of lead. He has a gun." This is the gist of thq testimony of Mrs. J. D. Marshal against her .father, J. TV. Keller, who was tried yesterday after noon In Justice Seton's Court oa the charge of threatening to kill J. B. Har ness, with whom be had had some busl' ness dealings. Both parties live at Lents, where Harness dug a well for Keller, and over which they had a desperate fight In August. Since then there have been several ver bal encounters, and Keller was alleged to have said that the "would nil Harness full of lead," and Harness caused his ar rest. Harness In his testimony admitted that he did not hear the threat direct from Keller, but was informed of Its having been uttered, He had dug a well for Keller for which he was refused pay, and they had a ( fight over it. Harness said he was very much afraid that Kel ler will carry out his threat. Justice Seton, after reviewing the evi dence, discharged Keller from custody Mr. Keller is an old soldier and is about 00 years of age. Harness visited the Dis trict Attorney's offlco several times be fore a warrant was issued for Keller's ar rest. MES. G. M. D. GRIGSBY DEAD. vyife of Noted Railroad Man Passes Away In Hospital.

Finding jobs for the unemployed and workers for employers, win be tjie scope of a municipal employment agency which wiljrobably be soon -suggested to the Council. It is suggested that the agency b$ attached to the license department, the expenses to be orne by the city. The. license committee of the Council has Heard cases time and again in which a worklngman complained that he had been bilked by one of the numerous em ployment agents in the city. In several cases the license of the agency has been revoked. Meanwhile a eieady procession of un employed people go to Mayor "Williams' cftic. He has discussed the subject with UAiei oi x-ouce .aunt, ana a conference wUl n&fMr be.soo& held srith. ka bers of the license committee. It is be lieved that one man in the City Hall could do all the work necessary. If the scheme proves feasible it is posslpje that the licenses of the private employment agencies will be revoked, all the employ ment business being done by the munici pal agency.

Judge Bellinger delivered his Instructions to the jury at 8:30 o'clock last night. At a late hour there was no prospect of an early verdict. It is thought that the' finding will either be for murder without capital punishment, or for man slaughter. The demurrer interposed by the defend ant's attorney on Monday was overruled. The usual trouble with Indian witnesses was again met with In yesterday's hearing and it was with some embarrassment that "United States District Attorney Hall had to explain to the court that some of the witnesses were unable to testify on ac count of being "disabled."

BBBBBBBBBBBBBuEBPflBBBBa sBBBBBBBBBBBBB BBBBkBBBIBBBBBBBBBb BBBvBBBBBBBBBBBbBBBBBBSH SALMON IS THE THEME FISH ARE BEING DISCUSSED BY STATE OFFICIALS. Prolongation 'f Clsced Season AbV cated as Means af Increasing Egg Supply in Hatcheries, Do salmon propagated at Ontario hatch ery enter the Columbia River from, thq sea in May and June, or in June anc( July? Master Fish Warden Van Dusen says May and, june.; but Strong evidence has been adduced to prove July and Au gust. Tho truth , U sf value In determining what better arrangement could be made for open and closed seasons. Prolonga tion pf the closed season from April 15 to May 15 has been advocated as a means pf Increasing the supply of eggs at Ontario, but if the saljnon patched there do not come In from the sea until June and July that would evidently be futile. This year one-sixth as many eggs will be taken at Ontario as 'were expected. In July the lower Columbia was fished un usually clean ot salmon. Were the sal mon needed at Ontario caught in July? Mr. Van Dusen lias contended that to reach spawning, grounds at the customary time, Ontario salmon enter the Columbia in May and June. Senator Fulton, adopt ing this theory, has proposed that the open season begin May 15 and not April 15. The Ontario hatchery, built by the State, Is the largest of Its Tdnd In the' world. It can receive 30,000,060 eggs ever' season. On Jt the fisheries have relied in large, measure for sajvatlon of the Industry. It was built to restore the early run's of salmon, for other hatcheries have been working on the late Tuns, with the re sult that salmon have been coming In from the sea later each season, If, there fore, the Ontario hatchery Is propagating late fish, the same as the other hatcheries, serious disappointment is sure to result. The. Grand Rondo Station is 650 miles from the sea; Ontario 716. At the former, most of the eggs are taken between Sep-? tember 13 and October u, according to Page 117 of Mr. Van Dusen's report for 1901-2. But at Ontario, as shown by the. same report on Page 130, the bulk of the eggs are taken between October 18 and November 13, just one month later. Mr. Van Dusen Insists that the fish caught at these two hatcheries are from the same run of fish, namely, salmon that enter the Columbia In May and June, But the evidence at Ontario seems to con tradict the evidence at Grand Ronde and vice versa, for the customary spawning times at the two places are a month apart. Evidence tends to prove strongly that specified runs of salmon In a river have certain spawning months. Runs that oc cur in the Columbia River before August 10 bear out this assertion, for each has its own month for spawning. After that date In some years, many salmon come In with a marked development of the spawn. Sometimes tho spawn is fully de. veloped when they enter fresh water; consequently their spawning time is ir regular. It Is well known that few salmon enter the Columbia until after February 15. During the ensuing two months many schools turn into the Willamette and then the Clackamas and are propagated at the upper hatchery. The spawning time at that station, as evidenced by the records. is during the month of August. It .is also well known that few Chi nook salmon appear above Willamette Falls before May 1, and that they go over the falls in large numbers only In May and June and at no other time of the year. Undoubtedly, these fish enter the Columbia some time between April 15 and June 15; whereas,, those going into the Clackamas come in from the sea as early as.two months before. The fish that, pass over the falls in May and June are ready to spawn at the McKcnzie River hatchery Jn the month of September, as shown on page 114 of the above-mentioned report. Thus, the February and March fish of the Lower Columbia spawn at the Ub- per Clackamas hatchery In August; the April, May and June fish in Septem ber. On the Umpqua River, fish enter ing the stream between April 15 and July 1 have their spawning time in September. At the Rogue River hatch ery the spawning time of April. May. June and July fish Is September and October. The above facts prove that most of the salmon that come into the Colum bia River between February 15 and April 15 spawn In August, and that the most or those that enter between April 15 and Juno 15 spawn In Sep tember. In no single case is it found that salmon which come Into fresh water in May and June spawn in Oc- tooer anq November, as Mr. Van Du sen believes they do at Ontario, It is, "therefore, logical to "presume First, that In all probability salmon which are taken at the Grand Ronde station enter the lower Columbia be tween the middle of April and the middle of June. Second, that salmon caught at On station enter the Lower Columbia be tween the middle of June and the mid die of August. The large take of eggs at Ontario early in November indicates that the fish are largely July and August salmon, not May and June. The statement that salmon travel up stream at five or ten miles a day is not rename in calculating the time that they require to reach Ontario, for it cannot be verified (n a question of this kind. Salmon have been known to ascend rivers more than 20 miles a day lor several consecutive days. AT THE THEATERS What the Press Agents Say.

One of the most amusing scenes In "The Gay Parisians." but by no means the climax, occurs between George Bloom quest, who plays the unsophisticated atu- ceni, ana iuise jjrangt, wno appears as tne French maid. He Is the drollest char acter, perhaps, In alj. farce comedy, and she one of the most winsome. "Has no one ever told you yon were good looKingT" asks the maid. "Only once," he replies. "That was the photographer. When I ordered a dosen pictures, he said I ought to take three dozen because I was such a nice-looking fellow!" The audience has scarcely recovered from its scream of laughter -d lie largely to the clever rendition of the speech by Bloomquest when the maid begins to make lave to him, He Is seated" upon a stool, studying the philosophy of lave, by Plato, ana she forces her coy attentions upon him. Finally, with an Impatient ges ture that perfectly implies the stupUUty of the character la worldly talis, hi wave her aray aad exclaims; "I cannot study the philosophy of love with a wom an at my eihew." The Columbia comBaay's present offer ing is brimming ever with flashes of this type, which are unusual in transla tions, and it is a subject of congratula tion that "The Gay Parisian fel into the hands of Stage Director Bernard for reproduction.

The management has sur passed itself in all previous efforts in get. ting together a startling array of gowns and dresses, and as roost of them are worn by "show" girls who used to be society women in different cities, there Is no doubt that they are shown off to ad vantage. "The Runaways" Is In two acts, the first showing the clubhouse and racetrack at Saratoga and the second the Island of Table D'Hote in -the Pacific Ocean. The company Includes Charles Dox, Clarence Harvey, Thomas Whit bread, William Meehan, Misses Ermlnle Earle. .Sallie Randall, Blanche Wayne, the Althca sisters and in addition there are three groups of the prettiest show girls ever assembled In one company.

Francis L McXenna, and other East Side and Peninsular residents of the city, met with F. I. Fuller yesterday evening to consider the construction of the Penin sular road, which has been so long de sired by the people of that section and for which the residents of Lower Alblna and St. Johns subscribed $23,000 In cash and securities. The proposition was made to the old Portland Railway Company some time ago, and provided for a route along the present St Johns line for quite a dis tance, and having a terminus at Univer sity Park. Mr. McKonna had charge of the negotiations for the citizens and has had the matter up before the company several times. According to the partial agreement made at the time the subsidy of $23,000 was raised, the company was to commence the construction on or before July 1904. No work having been done at the expiration of that time, however, Mr. McKenna held $5 0,0 0 for an dea THIS STOEE has so well established ani sustained its reputation as the one that "SAVES YOU MONEY" that we have decided to incorporate this reputation in a trade-mark design that will at all times be a representa tive of the house itself.

After discussing the Question, It was de cided by the company that It would be unwise at this time to build the line as proposed, Inasmuch as it paralleled the present line for quite a distance, and when completed would serve the same district practically as the Una now in operation. It was decided, therefore, that the funds held In escrow would be re leased to the owners and that the Port land Consolidated Company would take no further action In the matter for the present at least.
