10 THE SUNDAY OREGOSIAy, PORTLAND, FEBRUARY 3, 1907. I LOSE HIS SCALP U5EN Upper River Salmon Men Be gin Fight on Master Fish Warden. MAKE SERIOUS CHARGES Af!Trt That T,an to 1'rovrnt l'lsliing Below Colilo I'alN Is Urged by Official to Vent IVr soiiiil Spite. That he is venting personal spite rather han nervine the real interests of the vnlmon fishing industry of the state, is openlv charged aKsinst Muster Fish War len H G. Van Dusen 'by palmon packers of theYpper Columbia, as a result of the warden's re -ommendation of the passage of laws that will put out of business the lisheries below Celllo Fails. The bill that would accomplish this re rult was Introduced by Representative HeCue, of Clatsop County, in the House IFriday. Jut before the Legislature ad journed for the week. This bill is in ac cordance with the recommendation of Master Fish Warden Van Duten in his annual report, which waa only last week filed with the Governor, after two months f delay. The hill prohibits salmon fish ing lor 10 miles below Celilo Falls. : Will Stop Twelve Wlieels. If the bill becomes a low it will put out of business about 12 fish wheels, tinned and operated by fishermen who have always been opposed to Mr. Van Dusen as Master Fish Warden, and who are now actively opposing his candidacy for reappointment. 'The appearance of this bill in the. Leg islature was by no means unexpected by the fishermen on the Vpper Columbia," said F. A. Seufert. of The Dalles, one of the principal cannerymen on the upper Tiver. "It merely confirms and estab lishes the fact that Mr. Van Dusen has formed an alliance with the Astoria fish ermen's union for the enactment of leg islation that is opposed to the Interests of the fishermen of the upper river, at the same time protecting the members of Hie Astoria union, and all this furthers his candidacy for re-appointment to the office he now holds. The fishermen and the cannerymen of the Upper Columbia River were from the first opposed to the appointment of Mr. Van Dusen' to this position for good reasons. We are op posed to his reappointment at this time. Reasons for Opposition. "Our reasons for having opposed Mr. Van Dusen in the past and for objecting seriously to his continuance in this office are that we do not believe any man should hold this office who la in any way interested in the fishing business In any other section of the state over which this office has charge. "Since the administration of this office tiy the late H. G. McGulre, the fish laws of the state have not been made im partially to serve the true interests of tills important industry. Neither have the Jaws been fairly and Impartially en forced. We are in no sensej violators of the law, neither do we condone violation of the law, but we Insist that legislation, touching on this Industry, shall be gen eral in Its application and strictly en forced, regardless of location or personal interests." The fishermen on the Upper Columbia are especially severe in censuring Master Fish Warden Van Dusen. That his rec ommendations as to fish legislation dur ing his Incumbency of the office have been Impractical, they areert, has been demonstrated in the results that have followed the enactment and enforcement of various measures. . They criticise the hatchery policy, that lias been followed ly Mr. Van Dusen, and do not hesitate to say that in their opinion serious and 'costly mistakes have been made In the selection of sites for hatcheries, both at Ontario and on the McKenzic. Used Poor Judgment. In establishing the hatchery at Ontario, they allege, the Master Warden used poor Judgment, since demonstrated by the inability of the hatchery to secure salmon for propagation, resulting practically in idleness. The operation of the hatchery on the McKenzle. it is represented, has proved a failure as to the successful dis tribution of the fish that are propagated there. This station is doing more hatch ery work than any other In Columbia waters, but, asks Mr. fcscufert, how can they reach the sea. to grow into adult fish when on their journey down-stream they have to pass through the power wheels of the factories at Oregon City? "What would you give for a salmon. " says he, "that Is chewed up by those wheels, or fqr a million salmon?" "Now as to the closed season." con tinued Mr. Seufert. "The chinooks and the bluebacks run in the Columbia from Marcli 1 until about August 15 to 20. The present closed season extends from March 1.1 to April ;.. It should be changed to begin March 1 and con tinue until May 1. if any protection is to be afforded these salmon. The Hummer closed season runs from An gust 25 to September 0. instead of from about Antrum 10 to September 1, as it should. The only protection now afforded is to the ."ilvcrsidcs and other less valuable salmon. JtcMiit Xot Surprising. "It is not surprising, then, that the report of the Master Fish Warden should disclose an increase of 300 per cent in the number of silvcrsides and a corresponding decrease of S per cent in chinooks. Why. continue this pro tection of silversides when, the chi nooks are becoming more scarce?" Fishermen in the vicinity of The Dalles are thoroughly awake to the situation. They propose to support and in every possible way encourage any and .all legislation that will serve the true interests of the salmon in dustry, but they are up in anna and will vigorously resist all efforts still further to discriminate against them and their interests. Ole J. Seuem and IT. M. Lorntsen. members of the Astoria Fishermen's Vnlon, have been at Salem since the opening of the Legislature, lobbying for tile legislation proposed in the Me dic bill and other laws suggested by Mi. Van Dusen. The contest for ap pointment as Fish Warden is a live one. In addition t'o Mr. Van Dusen, who asks for another term. If. A. Webster, present Deputy Fish Warden, and James U. Campbell, present member of the Legislature from Multnomah and Clackamas Counties, both of Oregon City, are aspirants. Two New Corporations.

Robert llendrie. an Oregon pioneer of 1S58, died at his home, 2 Lincoln street, last Friday morning. The cause of his death was heart trouble, and his death, which waa unexpected, will cause a great deal of sorrow among many of the "old timer?." Robert llendrie was born in Aierdeen.

WHOLE STATE CAN ASSIST Itcsitlcnls of Every Section of Oregon Have Power to Induce Iargc Immigration With Very Little Trouble. 'Twenty-five dollars to almost any point in Oregon from the great Middle West, including the important cities on the Mis souri as well as the Mississippi River, Is the rate that will go into effect March 1 and continue until April 30. Tickets will be on sale every day, and as they are available to about 2r.000,000 people at about a cent and a half a mile, it will be negligence on the part of the people of Oregon if a great many thousand in dustrious citizens are not added to the population of the state. These rates are good on any and all railroads leading West, and, while the cities are used here, from which the rates are good, it- must be borne in mind that the same rates are available from the smaller points adjacent to the cities. For instance, a vast portion of the Northwest, including the most of .Minnesota and the Dakotas, take the St. Paul and Minne apolis rate, while Kansas, Nebraska and a large portion of Iowa and Missouri take the rate from Kansas City, St- Jo seph and Omaha, Sioux City, etc The rates which are quoted from St. Louis and Chicago also cover an enormous sec tion of country, and give the privilege of seeing Oregon at a low rate, to many millions. Hate Applies to Whole State. In the past a great many people throughout the State of Oregon have felt that these rates were good to Port land only, and as the railroads usually advertise the larger cities because they are more familiar to the general public, the people of the interior of the state felt that the metropolis gets the chief ad vantage. "Many citizens of Oregon content them selves with the. statement that the rail roads will advertise these rates, but we must bear in mind that when they are advertising rates to Oregon, these same rates are just as good to Texas, the In dian Territory and Oklahoma: the same rates are good to all points in the South and all points in the West: Colorado and Utah are working for new citizens, as are the Dakotas, and It is generally understood that there is some little activ ity in California and Canada along these lines, and that Washington Is not Inac tive," said Tom Richardson, manager of the Portland Commercial Club. "When ever a colonist rate goes into effect and Is good to any portion- of Oregon, it is also good to any portion of the North west. Middle West and Southwest, anS it is (the community that gets up and hustles that gets the population and the weal th. "Through a combined effort, the Port land Commercial. Club and the Oregon Development League have been carry ing on an extensive advertisement of the State of Oregon, and it might as well be admitted at this time as to tell it later, that the funds are about exhausted and that the several communities In the state must take up and carry on a thorough campaign of advertising, if we are to get the full results. " All Should Send Advertising. 'The names of thousands of inquirers are being: furnished to the 63 organiza tions that compose the Oregon Develop ment League, and if a single one of them is not sending out literature it is their own fault, for the entire cost is covered in stamps and printed matter. These colonist rates present a remarkable op- PORTLAND MUSICIAN GIVES CONCERT AT SILVERT0N 1 t i 5 i V v -, i f i - f -s- V " N r v ; v, ' ? - w t r - - i -':Vi!S?t- 4 v, 1 WILLIAM WALLACE GRAHAM. William Wallace Graham save a very successful concert at th Grand Opcra-House in Silverton last week, assisted by Mis. Anne . Dltchburn and lgnor Lucchesi. Mr. Graham has been engaged by the Woman's Club of Forest Grove to play In February. The programme was as follows: 1 "Zige unerweisen. Op. 20" (Pablo de Sarasate). 2 (a "The Lass With the Deli cate Air" (De Arne), (b) "My Laddie" (L&ndon), (c) "O, Divine Redeemer" (Qounod), (d) "Love the Peddler- (Lohr). 8 (a) "Love Song-," b) "Mazurka" (Paderewski); (c) "Qondolied" (Lucchesl). 4 (a) "Romanze, Op. 44, No. 1" (Rubensteln): (b) "Serenata" (Moszkowskl). B (a) "Away on the Hill." (b) "A Little Winding Road" (Landon); (c) Aria from "'Sampson and Delllab" (Saint-Saens), (d) "Serenade" (Gouliod). 6 (a) "Spanish Tanze, Op. II" (Sarasate), (b) "Moto Perpetuoi On. 84" (Fran Kles). portunity for active advertising. In which every school boy and school girl, as well as every grown man and woman in the state, can participate. There Is nir sub ject of greater interest to school boys and girls than the resources, attractions and advantages of their own state, and, bet ter stlU. of their own community, and If they could be kept busy a portion of their time during the next few weeks in writ ing to relatives, friends and acquaintances in the older states, advising them of these opportunities, and at the same time giving them the rates to their particular town. It would certainly result in attract ing a great deal of attention to Oregon. Yf every coujity and city superintendent of schools, as well as each and every prin cipal and teacher, would make It a point to put this matter before their schools, the result would be of enormous advan tage to the State of Oregon. "Every commercial and industrial body in the state, as well as every real estate firm and corporation, should make these rates either introductory or the central feature of their advertising, and if a real estate man's clientele is in the State of Kansas, for instance, let him give the rate as from the State of Kansas, and circulate the matter there, in order to make it local at the other end of the line. "If citizens from other states who have found a home in Oregon within the last two or three years would write a letter to their old home paper and make es pecially prominent this low rate to va rious points in Oregon, the advertising re ceived would be of wonderful benefit to Oregon. Many Questions Are Asked. "Inquiries being received by the Oregon Development League at their Portland office cover all kinds of questions. Many prosperous farmers in Iowa. Kansas and other states want to know how they can properly invest $5000 to $10,000;' others 'de-' sire small tracts of land: many Inquiries come regarding logged-off lands, and the opportunities in the dairying business. There are thousands of inquiries about the Willamette Valley, and the opportu nities presented throughout all Western Oregon. The eame is true with reference to the wheat and livestock portions of Eastern Oregon. Irrigation is the cause of many inquiries. "There are more Inquiries, possibly, in regard to fruit-growing and poultry raising than any other, and it is the fault of the different business men and property-holders in the many communi ties of Oregon if these questions are not answered, because the entire expense is embraced in stamps, clerk hire and the printed matter. "The mail being received by the Oregon Development League is simply enormous, and not a name or address arrives which Is not furnished to every one of- the 63 organizations composing the League. Lists of names will be supplied to any regularly organized commercial body in any community in Oregon which becomes affiliated with the Oregon Development League." Following is a list of the exact rates from points in the older states to it points in Oregon, arranged alphabetically, so that each community can understand just what it costs to reach their station-: Colonist Rate.

H eadaches and Sleeplessness WW ' v J A N s v y- When the house is afire, it's like a body when disease begins to show, it's no time to talk but time to act delay is dan gerous remove the cause of the trouble at once. "'For a number of years," says a Kan sas lady. "I felt sure that coffee was hurting me. and yet, I was so fond of it, I could not give it up. I paltered with my appetite and of course yielded to the temptation to drink more. At last I got so bad that I made up my mind I must either quit the use of coffee or die. "Everything I ate distressed me. and I suffered severely almost all the time with palpitation of the heart. I frequently woke up In the night with the feeling that I was almost gone, my heart seemed so smothered and weak in its action that I feared it would stop beat ing. My breath grew short and the least exertion set me to panting. I slept but little and suffered from rheumatism. "Two years ago I stopped using' the old kind of, coffee and began to use Postum Food Coffee, and from the very first I began to improve. It worked a miracle! Now I can eat anything and digest it without trouble. I sleep like a baby, and my heart beats full, strong and easily. My breathing has become steady and normal, and my rheumatism has left me. I feel like another person, and It is all due to quitting coffee and using Postume Food Coffee, for I haven't, used any medicine and none would have done any good as long as I kept drugging with coffee."

Duffy Malt Whiskey Co., Rochester, X. Y. X AS MRS. G. W. RORER. T TO COUNCILMAN SHEPHERD WILL ADVOCATE OIIDIXANCE. Would Allow One Saloon for Everj Additional 500 or Population Above 200,000. An effort to limit the number of sa loons in Portland to 400 will be made before the liquor license committee of the Council at its meeting tomorrow. The suggestion is made by. Councilman Shepherd, who will urge his plan upon the other members of the committee. Four hundred is the number of saloons which he would permit until the city shall have a population of ajO.onO. after which he would permit an additional saloon for every increa.se of 5o0 in the population. There are at present 413 saloons licensed In Portland and the measure of Council man Shepherd will, therefore, reduce them by 15. He does not. however, ad vocate revoking any licenses of saloons now operating. By his amendment to the ordinance all saloons now doing bus iness will be permitted to continue opera tions, but as they drop out no additional licenses will be issued until the number is reduced to 400. It" the increase In tlie amount of the licenses should result in reducing the number of saloons to 400 Immediately, it would be held at that figure until the population has reached 2U0.000. "I believe that it would .be advan tageous to the city to limit the number of saloons," said Mr. Shepherd last night, "and I shall endeavor to have such an amendment to the ordinance adopted by the committee. With 409 saloons at S00. the income to the city would be material ly Increased over the present revenue, as there are now only 415 saloons licensed at S00. I think, this a reasonable limit to the number of saloons. Better order could be preserved with the number lim ited. It would also tend to make saloon keepers more careful in obeying the laws, as they would know that if they lost their license It would be difficult to get another." Councilman Shepherd Is the author of the ordinance now before the committee providing for an Increase in the license from jrjOO to $S0O. He asserts that there is little doubt that it will be recom mended by the committee and subse quently adopted by the Council. This Is the general opinion and appears to he well founded, it being known that liquor interests will not oppose the measure. LIST OF THE INJURED. A one of Passengers Fat-alty Hurt In McCoy AVreck.

Contest Hard I'ouglit Throughout and Final Score Is 14 to 12. Best Game of Scries. Multnomah Club's basketball team went down to defeat at last In a game wl'h the Willamette University team. The score was 14 to 12 and the game through out was hard-fou(?ht- Kach team. it alt Its strength in the contest, which wu the best of all the gained played thus far In the Oregon State League. Willamette's weight had a great deal of effect on the result, as the heavy col lege boys were able to push their oppo nents aside. The clubmen. however, showed better team work, and in throw ing baskets they were superior to th Salem team. A large number of fouls were declared on both sides: Multnomah made 12 and Willamette 13. Only six. baskets were thrown in the whole game, the most of the points being made from . foul throws. The game was lively throughout and just enough fouls were made to increase the interest. The work of Referee Muckie was first-class and not a word of com plaint was heard on either side. Of Multnomah's players Barton, no doubt, put up the best game, making one basket and two foul throws. Rasch and Dent also played well. Dent having credit tor the most points. Of Willamette's players, Moore, a sub stitute, proved best.
