Tihat the total salmon pack of thc.Statctof Oreg-on for 1905 amounted to 20,1' pounds, valued at 53,100.000, Is shown by the annual report of Master Fish iiuwi Man iuocu, uicu nuu Lilw omiu Fish Commission today. Thl3 Is an. In crease, oC Y09.1P1 pounds over tlie year 1904. the Increase being: in the chlnook. or more Valuable, variety. The fact that there has been an increase of the pack of chlnooks and steelheads, which have been artificially propag-atcd, and a decrease in the pack of sllvcrsldes and bluebackf, which have not been han dled by the hatcheries, leads the war den to the conclusion that the hatch ery operations have been effective in maintaining- the supply of fish. The total product of each variety for the year Just closed Is shown in the sum mary jrlven at the head of this column. Mr. Van Dusen's ' report is volumin ous, setting' forth in detail all the ope rations of his department, showing' the work .ot each hatchery, the cost of maintaining: each, the number of eggs "handled by .fcach, the number and classes of 'licenses issued and the re ceipts and "disbursements of all kinds. He shows iii detail the prosecutions fon violations oi me usning: laws ana tno persistent efforts to compel owners of dams to put in llshways that will en able salmon to pass up the streams to their natural spawning- grounds. He re ports success in the latter line but says It yet remains to be determined defi nitely wliether the fishway at Wil lamette Falls is entirely satisfactory. The company owning, the dam has en deavored to make such alterations as have been requested for the purpose -of making- it easier for fish to ascend the rjver and to remove the danger of their getting: caught in pools below the falls. As this is- not a legislative year the report contains no recommendations upon the subject of needed laws. The following table gives a summary of tho number of eggs handled by the several Oregon hatcheries, for the year 1905, the figures including- the young fish on hand or already liberated: . Chlnooks.

SEEK TRAFFIC ARRANGEMENT United Railways Company Represen tatives fVi sit Forest Grove. FOREST "GROVE. Or., Feb. 6. (Spe cial.) J. W. E. Taylor, J. E. Howard and Wilmot Grlffis, California men who are connected with the newly-organized United Railways Company, which Is pre paring to build the electric line between Poriland.and TVaccst Grove, were in town today looking over the situation. They had a consultation with the officials of the Forest Grove Transportation Com pany, which has already commenced to receive materials for the construction of Its new utreet-car line between tho depot and the buslntiWccnter. They desired- to arrange some plan by which the two lines could use ono track through the business part of town, as they want to begin construction work on this end of the line at the same time they begin work at Portland. Therefore, they sought to effect a traffic arrange ment by which their cars of materials could be brought up from the Southern Pacific Railroad, yards and delivered to them on their own tracks. The Forest Grove people met them In a liberal spirit and it is probable that arrangements can be made satisfactory to both sides. HEDGES EXPLAINS ACTION CLACKA3HS COUNTY 3IAN AVILTj ' OX PJQEDGE HEUSELF. DeJicvcs Statement No. 1 of Direct Primary Tjaw a Dangerous Re striction on legislator. OREGON ClTT. Or.. Feb. C (Spocial.) In ian interview today J. E. Hedges, can didate for the Democratic nomination for State Senator from Clackamas County, givejs his reasons for not subscribing to statement No. 1 of the direct primary law 'by which legislative candidates are boun.i to vote for the candidate for United State.- Senator who receives a plurality of the votes cast for that ofilce at the gen eral election preceding the convening of the State Legislature. Mr. Hedges said: V'l cannot discover how one who Is care ful and, conscientious can promise to vote for ny' possible candidate who may get the largest number of votes at the next preceding general election, when that one. 1t may subsequently be found, hasobtained his nomination by purchase, fraud or chi caner', and tho vote at the general elec tion may be that of a small minority of one parrr only, and the person may be opposed 'ay a large majority of the people. "Some have jsald they would support such an ono under these circumstances, because the pledge is Absolute. "To illustrate: Assume that five Repub licans should asplro for nomination for the office of United States Senator, of whom 'Smith is notoriously, bad and cor rupt, but shrewd. Assume, further, that three Democrats try for nomination, of whom Jones is likewise corrupt, but as tute. Smith and Jones wc will assume, by practices of deceit, obtain the nomina tion by a slim plurality.

"A cry of the majority of the people and of members of both parties then goes up to elect some one else to Congress as Senator. "Where does the legislator who has pledged himself stand?"

The search, for' victims "of the Valencia wreck baa been abandoned. The United States put ter Terry arrive, tonteht. after spending some days en(rci in Jscafchin during whtcji 1 Fhe picked up five bodies, alrcadjr sent here, Jind after coaling tomorrow, will proceed io Aatorla. The United States cutter Grant went to Port Town scrid. The tug .Lome arrives tonight with one unidentified body, found yester day by tlie Wyadda and that tug will ar rive tomorrow.. The Ixirne' brings home Captain Smith and the employes of the steamship com pany who have been searching the shore. The bodies of S3 wreck victims remain lost; 123 persons were, drowned. The investigation into the Valencia dis aster this morning elicited little. Cap tain Thompson, local steamship inspector, told of Inspecting her engines and boiler which were in good condition and Ccllls ter. Inspector- of pilots, told- of his In spection. He said tule life-preservers were considered more buoyant than cork. Ijlfc-Prcscrvers Tested. Mr. Dallain of the Marine Department submitted figures of a test of tule life preservers showing that one weighing four pounds eight ounce, -weighed 13 pounds four ounces after 24 hours sub mersion. At the afternoon session evidence was given by Frank Conners, a waiter, who was one of the survivors of the raft found on Turtle Island. Edward Shields, a seaman, also testified. He told a graphic story of how a landing was made by the boatswain's boat, three miles from Cape Bcale. It was shown by the evidence thLi af ternoon that within three minutes of the lime Captain Johnson shouted "all hands on deck." all six life boats, had been sent away without an officer fn charge of any one of them, leaving only the working boat in which the boatswain's crew reached shore next morning, and tnat the probabilities were that had the boats not got away then they would have been able to make the shore with many people the ollowing morning as the boatswain's boat warf then able to effect a landing. So far as could be learned none of the of ficers ordered the lowering of the boats. Verdict of Accident. The Coroner's verdict resulted in a ver dict of death by accidental drowning, no blame being attached to Captain Johnson after the steamer struck, as he then did all possible for the safety of his crew and passengers. This morning the father of John SI. Bell telegraphed from San Francisco identify ing from the Associated Press description the body of his son, who had an oaglc above an American flag tatooed on his arm. The body -will be shipped to San Fran cisco. CAPT. COX DEFENDS. COUSINS TcIJs Seattle Board Boat Could Not Have Been Launched. SEATTLE, ' Feb. C Captain Cox, the Victoria pilot, was the only wltnem be fore United States Inspectors Whitney and Turner at today's Investigation of the Valencia disaster. On being called to take the stand. Captain Cox stated that he had been following the sea for- 32 years. IS of -which he had held master's papers. He said he was familiar with the coast, but not too close In. His tes timony in part was as follows: "When wc arrived at the scene of the wreck, the -weather was thick at times. A heavy sea was running from the south west and alto from the southeast, making a nasty cross sea. At times we coujd see people on the wreck. Shortly after wo arrived the Czar and Salvor came 'along. Wc reported to the Czar the location of the wreck. Then a rain squall shut In everything. t About that time the City ot Topeka came along and ordered us to Victoria." "Did any man-of-war's men go to Cap tain Cousins and volunteer to go in?' was asked by Inspector Whitney! "No,". was the reply. "Would you have been in a position to know it If they had?". "Yes, sir. I can positively state that no one went to Captain Cousins and volun teered to go In." "Yes," continued thho witness, in an swer to a. query from the inspector, "I knew a boat could have 'gone in. but it would never have come out with the same crew. "Immediately after making this state ment. Captain Cox. in speaking of a boat's chances for getting Into the wreck, ald: "I don't think she'd have got quite into the wreck with the sea that was running that is, at the bow she was lying with her bows out and the sea was breaking over them. I think the reason for the life rafts of the vessel getting out was due to the back swash from the cliffs. I think one would float out" "Would the same force send a boat out also?" was asked. "No. I think It would upset." Captain Cox then went on to testify that he did not think it would have been prudent for the Queen- to have gone any closer. He says she yras too big, but that a smaller vessel could have got much closer. Captain Cox stated that he thought the Queen was about two or two and one-half miles from the scene of the wreck. He also testified that'hc thought, mention of the people on the wreck bad been made to thote on board the Topeka by Captain Cousins. "If you had been master of the Queen, would you have sent a boat ashore?" was asked. "No, I would not." "Would you have gone yourself?" "Not in that sea." The investigation today was not car ried on under the supervision of United States District Attorney Frye, who was forced to attend the grand Jury at Ta coma. Thursday District Attorney Frye -will be present, at which time Captain Cann. members of the crew of the ,C1ty of Topeka and other witnesses will be called. It Is also expected Captain Patterson will bo present. " -a ' ' " FORD DEFENDS JOHNSON. General Manager of Pacific Coast Co. Deplores Valencia Wreck. SEATTLE, Wash., Feb. 6. (Special.) J. C. ForJ. vice-president and gen eral manager of the Pacific Coast Com pany, owners of the wrecked steamer Valencia, has giVen out the first inter view authorized by the company since that disaster. In a New York dispatch he is quoted as follows: 'After the Slocum disaster ia New York, several old and forgotten atat- utcs were rooted out, which added to the requirements. The. company spent $10,033 or 5 12.0 W bringing the Valen cia's equipment up to this standard. Most of. - her life preservers "were changed from cork to tule shortly be fore the fatal, trip -when we discovered that tule preservers were better. Wc feel that Captain jQhnson was a good, competent commander nnd that even if he had lived he could not have been responsible for the mistake in reckon ing which brought his steamer on the 'rocks. "He had been with us 12 years, and -we must remember that 'hitman Judg ment 'is nvcr 'Infallible; All of - our captains" arc Instructed to consider safety 'first and schedule afterward.

ANOTHER BODY IS FOUND Identification of Valencia Victims Results fn Much Confusion. 'VICTORIA. B. C Feb. 6. The tug Lorne. which arrived tonight with ona unidentified body, reported that the tug Wyadda found another unidentified body this afternoon, and is bringing it to Vic toria, being due in the early morning. Both were badly decomposed. Local un dertakers report -that the bodies of W. Dougherty, fireman, of San Francisco, and Charles P. Welsh, pantryman, were Iden tified today from Associated Press dis patches giving descriptions. A strange case of affairs has arisen as a result of the supposed identification of two bodies yesterday by Seattle under takers, who came to Victoria. One un dertaker Identified a body. as that of Peter Gludc and took It to Seattle. He has since telegraphed that he took the wrong body, and described another as that of Gludc. asking that It be forwarded. The body he described today Is that Identified as Dougherty's. Another Seattle undertaker took a body which he Identified as Flnley's to Seattle yesterday, and he also wired today asking that another body bo shipped, as he had taken the wrong one. The body of Miss Mildred Cole, a first class passenger, of the Valencia, was Identified tonight. Says Captain Johnson Lost Hand.. TACOMA. Feb. 6. Seaman Marx, who was rescued from the Valencia, declares that one of the hands of Captain Johnson of that vessel, was torn off while the crew were trying to shoot a line ashore. BUY SEATTLE MMDS HARRIMAN AGENTS INVEST $2, 000,000 IN TERMINALS. City Owns Two Blocks, for Which vf $125,009 Is Demanded, and Deal Is Not Yet Closed. SEATTLE, Wash., Feb. (Special.) a tier of blocks adjoining the Great Northern's passenger depot has been purchased by representatives of rail road interests believed to be those of the Harrlman lines. The lands include the sites of the plants of hc Vulcan Iron Works, the Denny-Rcnton Clay Works and the Seattle Lighting Com pany. The city has Just authorized the sale of two more blocks for $425,000. a figure almost twice that which the pur chasers have offered to give. There may be a hitch in concluding this deal. Two different buyers, have negotiated for the purchase of the tide-land prop erties, but it is stated authoritatively that the land is all wanted by otic agent. Positive assurances have been given some of those -interested In the sales that the Union Pacific will bo the owner of the property when the deeds are placed on re ford. Under tho city charter all propcrty of the municipality must be sold .to the highest bidder. This will necessi tate an auction which the Board of Public Works is authorized to conduct, but the price the men who put through the deal to sell the city holdings are willing to pay will prccludo any ser ious opposition on the part of rival interests. All told, the amount Involved In- the big deals will run pretty close to $2. 000.000. A number of quotations have been made on other blocks of land, but the figures arc ofilclalls declared to be exaggerated. The Vulcan Iron Works site -was sold for pretty close to 5500, 000, and the holdings of the Lighting Company, Denny-Rcnton Clay Works and the city will average pretty close to that figure. It Is stated by the men who have conducted these sales that the problem of reaching the Great Northern passen ger terminals have' been solved. En trance will probably be over either Fourth or Sixth avenues South. A scheme for tunneling through the hill that skirts the waterfront is declard impracticable These new holdings are separated from the tide lands bought In the names if Joseph HcIIcn, by the Hill passenger and freight terminals, the St. Paul's holdings and the East water wayk They can only be used for pas senger and local freight purposes.

The Council Moriday night turned him down and offered him $75. The trouble Is occasioned by an ordinance passed by the old Council raising the salary of the attorney from $75 to $125 while he was still In ofilce Mayor Fechter at the time vetoed the ordinance on the ground that It was unconstitutional. but the Council passed it over his head xnis is me nrsi time jar. rorsymc has had a chance to test the validity of the ordinance.

(Special.) In an opin ion written by Justice T. G. Halley. the Oregon Supreme Court today upheld the constitutionality ot the antl-tickct-scalp-Ing act passed by the last Legislature. The decision was rendered In the case ot the State vs. C. H. Thompson, In which Glrcuit Judge Frazer found the defendant guilty. On appeal to the Supreme Court, the constitutionality of the act was ques tioned upon, two grounds: first, that it violates the following sections of article 1 of the state constitution; section 10. which declares that "every man shall have remedy by due course of law for Injury done him In perron, property or reputation": section 3). which declares that "no law shall be passed granting to any citizen or class of citizens, privileges or Immunities which, upon the same terms, shall not equally belong to nil citi zens," ind section 21. which declares that "no ex post facto law. or law Impairing the obligation of contracts, shall ever be passed, etc."; and, second, that it vio lates the 14th amendment to the United States constitution, whjch provides that no state shall deprive any person of lib erty or property without, due process of law. and also violates section S ot article 1 of the U. S. constitution, which gives to Congreso the power to regulate commerce among the several states. Grounds of the Decision. ' Upon these points the Supreme Court holds: That the act does not deprive the pur chaser of a railroad ticket of his property, but merely limits the manner In which he shall ure such property. That thu act docs not impair the obli gations of contracts, for It affects only tickets sold after the act was passed. That t is not an ex post facto law. for it docu not undertake to punish the do-, fendunt for an act done prior to the time It took effect. That It does not grant privileges to some person not granted to others upon the same terms, for the privilege of sell ing railroad tickets under this act Is granted to railroads only, to be done by them directly, or through their agents, and all railroads arc treated alike and entitled to enjoy tlie privileges or Immu nities granted, end any one desiring to secure like privileges and immunities can do so by rcomlnj one of that class. No Burden on Commerce. That the act dos not violate the Inter state commor.-c claus2 ot the Unld States constitution for railroads can sell tickets a freely now as they could be fore, ard the act casts no burdens upon corumerce and places no obstae'es in its way Itr operation is wholely within the state and within the police power of the state. That the legislature has power to pro hibit the ticket brokerage business in or der to protect travelers from fraud. The case of the State vs. Frank Bollam, Involving exactly the same questions, was decided upon the authority of this opinion. Annans vs. Scwell. Jennie Annans, respondent, vs. J. W.

Mother's Medicine Chest When we look back to child hood and hluk of what mother advised, wo feel pretty certain that she advised what was right from her own experience. She inherited later in her instinct of mother hood a kuowledgeof childish ailments and a certain class of remedies that she knew well and their effects. Experience after all la tho best teacher. Most mothers know as well as doctors, and often better, what ails a young girl on the threshold of young womanhood and what she needs. For nearly forty years many mothers have recommended to ailing girls a prescription made from well known native, medicinal plants. Lady's Slipper root. Golden Seal root. Black Co hosh root. Unlearn root, Blua Cohosh root and chemically pure glycerjne make one of the best prescriptions for the period ical troubles and afflictions which visit womankind at one time or another. Prof. F.
