"It wai agreed that It Is not the best policy to construct new lines beyond the Hillsboro extension during . the present season," said Mr. Talbot. ; "It Is desired to complete the Hillsboro line and get that and the Salem road in the best possible physical condition before attempting additional construc tion. This will require the remainder of the season. s - . Will Await Outcome of Election. "Furthermore, it was thought best to- await the outcome of the election, for if the compulsory pass bill passes, it would probably retard the develop ment of our property seriously, for the reason that our line runs into Salem, the state, capital, and is projected into a number of county seats In the Wil lamette Valley. .For this reason, . the Oregon Electric would, have to carry a large proportion of its traffic free of charge if the bilk passes and Is held to be constitutional. . VAgaln, we have . had serious prob lems to deal with in-secrn-inff TIghts of way sjid necessary, franchises, and; If sufch action Is kept up. It will. make he development . already- outlined prac tically prohibitory. Therefore, we have decided to let matters rest temporarily to see what action will be taken by the people. "The Eastern directors, while in the city, expressed great faith in the future of the country and In'our prop erty, provided the people will be fair and reasonable with us." CLOSES HUGE SUCCESS Catholic Fair and Carnival Sells Oat Every Article. The street fair and carnival given by the Catholic Young Men's Club of St. Mary's parish, and which has held forth at Williams avenue and Morris street since May 18, came to a glorious and suc cessful close last night. The carnival has proven a most pleasing one, and for the first affair of Its kind to be attempted on the Bast Side, is highly creditable to the promoters of the enterprise. Thou sands of people availed themselves of the opportunity of witnessing the amuse ments furnished at a moderate price by the enterprising young men who succeeded in doing something that will prove bene ficial to their section of the city. Last night the grounds and club build- 1 ing were crowded to overflowing with enthusiastic patrons, who assembled to witness-, the closing programme of the two week's entertainment. The country store was the scene of a busy throng anxious to secure an opportunity of pur chasing some. one . of the few remaining articles on the shelves for disposal, and before 10 o'clock -. Andy. . Weinberger, the genial proprietor, was ; compelled to mount one of the counters and announce that there was not even one lone cake of coap left for sale. Everything had been cleaned out, and the patrons de parted for other booths, where similar demonstrations occurred, and when the doors finally closed, practically every article for sale had been disposed of. All of the amusement " booths came In for liberal patronage,, and the concessionaires were highly elated over the drawing powers of the first East Side carnival. Stevens for Sheriff. See page 8. A.

(Special.) My letter of 1895, concerning salmon, was based on Professor Gilbert's report. I have no copy, but suppose It referred to the fact that Immature male salmon run ning in the rivers are valuless for breed ing as all die. These with other fish are caught in fish wheels. I believe fish wheels and ' all stationary traps are ' especially pernicious to the " salmon in dustry and' should be everywhere prp hibited for reasons stated in my recent letter to Mr. Rosenberg.
