This is as the lay mind r,. ki erp.Fet the cntentlon. although probably Attorney-General Crawford would say that the real contention Is that the term "waters of the Columbia River Includes those of the Willamette. Want Smaller Rivers Open. i T.6 contention Is made In the case Instituted by the Portland fish dealers and the fishermen now at work on the illamette and Clackamas Rivers to re strain the Master Fish Warden from en forcing the closed season on the two streams. v,Pr!?r, t0 w.h,s year the closed "eason on the Columbia and Its tributaries, includ ing the Willamette and Clackamas, was from March 15 to April 15. Under an agreement with Washington, the last Oregon Legislature fixed the close season on the VColumbla River, its waters and sloughs. from March 1 to May 1 The new law does not mention the Willamette or Clackamas Rivers specifically, and the fishermen are contending they have An,.i TV0?8" tho two ams from April 15 to May 1. Under the 1901 law, however, the State Board of Fish Commissioners has the power to close any stream frequented hy salmon upon giving a specified notice. This notice must be published for 30 days in a newspaper in each county af- also be posted on the banks of the ?h7n'' c'osed, and filed in the office of the County Clerk of each county. The Hoard attempted to close the Wil lamette to fishing between April 15 and May 1 and the notice was published, but was not posted and filed according to law. Closing Onler Ignored. The fishermen accordingly have ig Ur0r? oslnK order and on April 15 Master Fish Warden H. C. McAllister at- ? . ."el.ze 1100 worth ot salmon caught In the two rivers and sold to the lortland Fish Company. The latter se cured a temporary Injunction restraining the state authorities from interfering with the fishing and application for a permanent injunction -was argued Thurs day.

GOOD THINGS IN THE MARKETS C TRAWIBBRRIES at 12U .n i fcj box are the prevailing feature of the fruit market this week. From now on the uueKeeper e dessert problem will be much simplified. Fresh berries and cream shortcakes, sherbets, sponges, creams and syllabubs there are vistas of delight opening with the berry season. R,hutoarb is cheaper, too, costing about L .I8. a pound- Rhubarb cream pie is something I met recently and found good Tell a i Vt n r a m i . w,m6C. inere are also reduced rates on grapefruit 4 for 25 cen's oranges 85 cents a dozen, and some kinds or apples. Tamarinds are displayed at -5 cents a pound. They are useful for cooling drinks on thirsty 3prlng days, for sherbets and for mixed fruit punch or Jelly. Vegetables become dally mora in viting, both in price and quality. Green Oregon asparagus Is perhaps the most popular fresh vegetable that the market affords. At present it costs 20 cents a pound; but the California kind can be had from 8 to 13 cents a pound and is not to be despised. Green Denn 1A i ,, . ""-. mu eugar peas .-.t: vuld u. pouna. iTean celerlac Is com ing in at 10 to 15 cents a root. The green tops and stalks should be dried and saved for flavoring soups, sauces and dressings in the coming evil days when for a while real celery will toe out of season. Fresh tomatoes are looking more rosy at 15 cents a pound. Cucumbers are to be had from 10 cents up, and cauliflowers for 15 to 25 cents each. Young onions In 10-cent bunchea are much to the fore in their delicate array of white . and green If tomatoes, cherries and grapes are ueed as hat trimmings, why not the dainty onion? Chicory Is nice and crtep Just now- and paves the way for the Oregon head lettuce that will be so highly praised by our Summer visitors. Watercress too te good, and so is spinach; but I saw few other greens. Poultry prices are unchanged. Eprina lamb Is lower in price and so is Its ac companying green mint. In the fish mar ket, bass, both black and striped, is slight ly lower in price, the former costing 30 to 40 cents and the latter 20 to 25 cents a pound. Baby salmon costs 20 cents a pound; croppies, catfish, sole and shrimps 15 cents; salmon 12-16 cents; halibut ard black cod 12 cents; herring, ..erch and flounder 10 cents. Shad is more plentiful and costs 1A tn. i o-i . . ehad roe costs 40 cents a pound, and frog legs 50 cents a dozen. Some frozen smelt were offered at three pounds for 26 cents.

The public ls setting wise to the fact that when a single shoemakingr concern can pay a quarter of a million dollars a year for advertising; there must be a marvelous .profit in shoes. The many remarkable advances that have been made in ma chinery for the making of shoes during the past few years have considerably lessened the cost of making footwear. Yet It is a fact that good shoes cost more today at retail than was paid for them by the consumer five years ago. The Wright Sample Shoe Shop, which has recently been opened In the Ore gonian building, is a lively start towards solving the problem for shoe ouying at retail. These parlors are located on the sixth floor of the Oregonian building, and in the first place the proprietor saves the enormous rent that would be exacted of him lf he did business in a store oft a main street. Shop is In direct communication with the largest manufacturers and whole salers In the country. It secures direct from them Immense shipments of their samples, and as everybody knows a Bample ls the most perfect thing of Its kind. "Since opening my parlors " said Mr. Wright. "I have sold thousands of pairs of shoes, and It is only a matter of time when I shall re quire many additional rooms. My deal ings with the makers and wholesalers Insure my purchasing several thou sands ot pairs of shoes each month. Good samnle shoes for men and women. In the ordinary retail stores these shoes sell for 3.50 to 6 a pair. I have made a flat schedule for these samples and never charge more than 2 a pair for women's shoes and $2.50 a pair for men's shoes. I sell the finest shoes made and can fit everybody, no mat ter how fasUdlous may be their tastes or whether they require the strongest and most durable kind of shoes for everyday walking and working pur poses. 1 keep open dally until 6 PM. and Saturday until 10 P. M.. and I wel come every visitor to my parlors whether they come to buy or to look over my stock. Especially do I extend a cordial welcome to all those who are in any way skeptical about the quality of the shoes I offer at such re markably low prices." P"rt'pa"d, EImer B- HeK- of Seattle.
