APPEAL TO PEOPLE
. TO STOP FISHING
Initiative Bill Will Prevent Take
of Salmon in Upper
River.
FRAMED BY CLATSOP MEN
Signatures Now Being Secured to
Proposed Measure, Which Is Re
sult of Inng Fighting Be
tween Fishing Interests.''"
An initiative bill to eliminate the fish
wheels of the Columbia river is being
circulated by representatives of Clatsop
County interests. The bill is a product
of the long fight between lower river fisli
men centered at Astoria and upper river
men centered at The Dalles. The Clatsop
men have striven many years to drive out
the wheel gear, which catches about &
per cent of the salmon pack of the river.
Wasco fish men, located at Tho Dalles,
have tried to check tfce fishing of the
lower river interests by shortening the
open season and by driving gill nets from
the river bar. where they are said to
obstruct ingress of salmon.
The two parties to the tight have been
unable thus far to obtain their objects
from the Legislature, and now the Clat
sop men have resorted to the initiative.
Wasco men retort that they will initiate
a bill to diminish the destruction of
salmon by lower river fisheries, which
take between 90 and 95 per cent of the
BHlmon. They will also put into their
bill a provision to stop gill-net fishing on
the bar. '
Would Stop Oregon Wheels.
The Astoria bill has been In circulation
for Initiative signatures in Portland sev
eral days. It provides that after August
25. 1008. there shall be no fishing above
the mouth of the Sandy river, at Trout
dale. This would eliminate all the wheels
on the Oregon side, but would not, of
course, affect those on the Washington
side. It is the contention of the Clatsop
men that no salmon should be caught
above tidewater. Their initiative petition
makes no mention of the source of the
bill nor of the conflict it will make be
tween up-river and down-river men. The
petition represents the bill as one "For
a law for the better protection of salmon
and sturgeon in the waters of the Colum
bia and Sandy rivers." The salmon in
dustry provides employment for 5000 of
our best and most loyal citizens and
brings Into the Estate $3,000,000 annually;
but for want of proper protection, the
salmon Is being rapidly destroyed.
"By prompt and proper protection, as
provided for In this bill, this Industry
cannot only be saved, but can be built
up to such an extent that it will give
employment to and sustain the families
of at least 15,000 of our citizens and
bring J1O.OO0.O0O annually into our state."
This bill embodies the purpose recom
mended by Fish Warden Van Dusen, who
In his last report urged abolition of
wheels within 10 miles of Celilo Falls.
The bill now proposed goes much further.
The Clatsop men were unable to put
their project through the legislature of
Oregon and Washington last Winter.
Backed by Association.
The proposed measure has the backing
of an organization known as the "Co
I imbia PJver Salmon Protective Associa
tion." of which George M. Orton, of
Portland, is president; Jay Tuttle. of As
toria, vice-president; H. M. Lorntsen. of
Astoria, secretary, (also secretary of
Fishermen's Union at that city), and F.
R. Beach, of Portland, treasurer. The
Astoria interests have endeavored to es
cape the charge that the bill Is framed
exclusively in their Interest, by having
men from other towns on the list of of
ficers of the Columbia River Salmon Pro
tective Association. But no member of
the up-river fisheries appears among the
officers.
Other members of the executive com
mittee of the Association are Judge

SCHOOL FINANCE STUDY
, Proposal That Money System Be
Taught to the Young.
PRINEV1LLE. Or.. Jan. 1. (To the
Editor.) Now that the gold standard has
come to be recognized as the best for the
world's money system, may it not be re
garded as advisable to teach the same in
our high schools and In the higher grades
of the public schools of our state? At
present, high school literature touching
upon the world's money is extremely
brief, considering the vast importance of
getting a right start. It would be better
to forestall the vagaries of the fiatist
which the student will sooner or later lis
ten to. and maybe digest. Lack of cor
rect Information at this time seems to the
writer to be the cause of the general be
lief common among young men who have
not had occasion to study the currency
system, that that system is entirely at
fault because of an occasional flurry.
" So impressionable is the youthful miad
at this time, that it may take years to
outgrow prejudice acquired. Indeed, . It
may never outgrow it, and all because of
lack of thorough information at a critical
period. Take for Instance some gray
beards who are fiatlsts and always have
been. They were probably "convinced"
by financial fakers during earlier years
and never will recover.
High school textbooks teach only that
money when plentiful Is cheap, and when
scarce, dear. This naturally leads the
student to infer that any kind of money,
gold or fiat, will hjr.rease the circulating
medium and therefore advance prices of
other commodities. From the brevity
with which it Is dealt the subject Is con
fusing, and the smooth faker has no trou
ble in convincing the youth, who is going
to vote that he should fight with all his
strength against the "money power," that
is the man who has more money at com
mand than he has. Fiat money Is his
theme and he pltrys It for all it is worth.
The youth thencefortn is a fiatist, and he
grows worse with the passing years.
The suggestion is to teach in the high
schools, and possibly the public schools of
the state:
That Government stamp on coin has no
value in itself.
That the United States mint takes the
miner's gold, puts the Government stamp
upon the coin as a guaranty of its weight
and fineness, or in other words certifies
to its commercial value, and hands It
back to the owner.
That two standards cannot continuously
circulate together at a parity; that one
must inevitably yield to the other, or
some other.
That the fiaist is a humbug, either will
fully or ignorantly.
That nations are inter-dependent.
That money will always be compara
tively scarce; hence Its value.
This done, the pupil will bo equipped
with knowledge to repel such suggestions
as have been heard lately, about the gold
standard being responsible for the recent
panic, togther with the banks of the coun
try. The place to begin the work indicated is
in the school, and'both sexes should be
encouraged to lfcarn of all the points
enumerated above. Not every man has
the opportunity to take a college course,
In which these wrong impressions are cor
rected. The number of college men is a
very small percentage of the total vote,
which Increases by thousands every year,
and as most of them spend some time in
either the public school or high school,
either is the place to teach among other
things financial sanity. A mother can
do wonders in teaching her boy to think
clearly, vote sanely and talk intelligently.
If she is mentally equipped for the work.

MOLDERS STRIKE TODAY
Employers Refuse - to Discharge
Their Nonunion, Men.
The refusal of Portland employers to
discharge all the non-union ironworkers
that were employed recently, will be fol
lowed by a general walkout by all union
laborers working at the trade this morn
ing. The Iron trade unions, through the
Iron Trades' Council, on Tuesday served
notice on the employers that a strike
would follow a failure to dismiss all
nonunion iron molders. Continued efforts
one the part of the different shops to en
force the "open shop" policy, say the
Ironmolders will be resisted firmly if
it becomes necessary to call out the
machinists, the blacksmiths and other
union men employed at the iron trades.
Such a course would result In tying up
the iron manufacturing plants of the city.
Some of the shops have made no fight
on the union and are Keeping all union
men. These men will be allowed to re
main at work, for the strike will be called
only in such shops as have replaced union
men with workmen not affiliated with the
union.

UP TO THE GOVERNMENT
To Uphold Settlers Rights in the O.
& C. Land Grant.
PORTLAND, Jan. 1. (To the Editor.)
To attempt to add anything to what
has already appeared in print in refer
ence to the Oregon and California land
grant- matter, may seem like a "twice
told tale," but I feel that the subject
should be constantly agitated until the
matter is righted.
Having given the matter some consid
eration, I am convinced that those who
are "actual settlers" upon these lands
have a right to demand from the Govern
ment that it grant them the privilege of
suing in Its name to establish their title
to the lands so occupied by them.
To talk about forfeiting these lands

VARICOCELE.
Without using knife, ligature or
caustic without pain and without de
tention from business, I cure Varico
cele In one week. If you have sought
a cure elsewhere and been disappoint
ed, or if you fear the harsh methods
that most physicians employ In treat
ing this disease, come to me and I will
cure you soundly and permanently by
a gentle and painless method. Don't
delay. Varicocele has Its dangers and
brings Its disastrous results. If you
will call I will be pleased to explain
my method of curing.
STRICTURE.

without dilating and without pain.
Harmless remedies dissolve the ob

to the -Government and. through, that
channel, opening ' them to settlement, is
foolishness. The Government, for itself,
has no grievance. The railroad company,
so far as the Government is concerned,
has discharged all its Obligations. It
built and continues to operate the road as
a public utility, in all things complying
with the terms of the granting act, sav
ing alone In the matter of selllns to each
actual settler a. quarter section of the
lands granted, and at a price not to ex-,
ceed $2.50 an acre. The actual settlers.
then, are the only people aggrieved, the
only parties who have a right to com
plain and demand that their rights be
enforced.
The'grant by Congress created a trust
in these lands for the benefit of "actual
settlers," and they have the right to de
mand at the hands of the Government the
enforcement of their rights. They have a
right to demand that the Government,
with themselves as relators, sue the pail
road company for theenforcement of the
terms of the trust. In such suit the
court, no doubt, would enter a decree di
recting the company to convey to each
relator the lands occupied by him, and,
upon the company's refusal, or default,
would, through Its own commissioner,
make such conveyance. The term "ac
tual settler" has been defined by the
Supreme Court of the United States to be
"one who takes possession either by him
self 0r another, and proceeds to occupy
and exercise acts of ownership." .
in an opinion rendered by Chief Jus
tice Marshall, the Supreme Court used
this language: "The Court is disposed to
think that a settlement made on the land
by another person, who cultivated it for
the proprietor, would be sufficient,
though the proprietor should not reside
in person on the estate, -or within the ter
ritory." The press -dispatches from Washington.
D. C. have several times indicated that
the Mr. Townsend and Major McBlair.
who were sent here to investigate (?)
this land grant matter, had conferred
with the Attorney-General, - and that
probably Congress would take some ac
tion in the premises. Such talk is sheer
nonsense. The matter has passed beyond
the jurisdiction of Congress, It now
belongs to the courts, and the
