Talbot and made plans for. the season's
work.
"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.

JORDAN AGAINST TRAPS
Opposes Wheels and Stationary Gear
for Catching Salmon.
' STANFORD, Cal., May SO. (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.
