Eggs From Yes Bay to

OREGON WINS BIG VICTORY

Mean Stat' Will Bo Able to
Comprtf Willi "raor Ktvcr
and Fnprt Siinl In World.
Am the rrsult of a stronR and prsiM-n
aoiwal bv Oregon's Master Kish Warden
Harrr C. McAllister, tlie Government has
decided for the first time in the history
of the fishing- Industry of the Northwest
to stork the Columbia River with Sock-
eye salmon. This announcement was
made yesterday by the I'nlted States
Vih Commissioner. Georce JL. iiowers,
of Washington. D. C, who was in the
citv for a short stuy.
This Is the most important advance
ment of this (treat industry that has been
made in years. In the first "place It is
eloquent of one of the picturesque trage
dies that sometimes befall the denizens
of the sea. The delivery of 000.000
Sockeye salmon eggs at the Bonneville
hatchery on the south bank of the Co
lumbia from the Alaska Hatchery on Yes
Bay within the next days. Is to marK
a new era in the perpetuation of the
Columbia River as the foremost fishing
a-rnunds of the United States.
The steady and rapid disappearance of
the Blueback. a kindred of the SocKeye,
has been one of the tragedies of Nature
w hich the United States isherles De
partment has had to cope with. This
fine commercial fish once swarmed the
Columbia In teeming millions, but of late
years it has decreased In supply until
now It Is all but gone.
Faoifltle of Columbia Allracl
This situation struck home with great
force when Master Fish Warden McAl
lister called attention to it to Federal
Fish Commissioner Powers yesterday,
and the latter agreed to restock the
stream with all the Sot-keye eggs that
could he spared from Yes Hay. Com
missioner liowers was so impressed with
the fine facilities offish culture in the
Columbia and with the ideal conditions
under which the Sockeye salmon ought
to flourish that he had no hesitation in
promising the shipment of 2,000,000 of
these eggs as soon as they could be pre
pared for shipment and arrangements
made for their reception at the Bonne
ville hatcher-.
Aside from the fact that this Is a vic
tory for OregoW in having the Govern
ment undertake such an Important ex
periment in the fishing Industry of this
state, the replenishing of the Columbia
with this variety of eggs means that It
' will have a chance to compete In the
world markets with the Tuget Sound and
Fraser River fisheries, which have been
the principal habltata of, the Sockeye
for years immemorial. In fact., it means
what Fish Warden McAllister regards as
the greatest progressive step In the de
velopment of this Immense industry that
has ever been made.
The Government, under tlie direction of
Fish Commissioner Bowers, will watch
the course and progress of this experi
ment and before leaving here last night
for Palrd. Cal.. where he is to Inspect
the largest FeVral salmon and trout
hatchery in the world, he left instruc
tions with Henry O. Malley. the Govern
ment superintendent of fisheries for Ore
gon, to make complete and detailed re
ports as to the success or failure of the
scheme, to re-stock the Columbia with
this species of salmon.
' Wallowa Dam to Remain.
United States Fish Commissioner
Bowers came here from Pnget J?ound
yesterday, where he had spent some
time in locating the seven new fish
hatcheries provided under an ect of the
last session of Congress appropriating
$00. 000 for that purpose. He reached
Master Fish Warden McAllister by wire
before his arrival. McAllister having
been engaged for several days in Inves
tigating the complaint of Wallowa
County against the maintenance of 'the
big dam on the Wallowa River. Mc
Allister had been notified that the fish
ladder had not operated successfully
and that the fish could not pass it.
After thorough investigation he found
the ladder was working as satisfactor
ily as could be expected, and he told
the Wallowa complainants that the dam
would not be disturbed until next year.
A new fish ladder was ordered Installed,
and. if this does not work satisfactorily
after a -y ear's trial. Mr. McAllister is
to blow out the dam.
Commissioner Bowers and Fish War
den McAllister visited and Inspected
the Clackamas hatchery yesterday
morning and the management was
highly complimented by the head of
the Government service. This hatchery
is located near Oregon City and Is re
garded by Mr. Bowers as one of the
most ideal spots for maintaining such a
station. "
As the guest of Warden McAllister,
Commissioner Bowers and State Super
intendent Malley spent the afternoon
on an Inspection trip of the local harbor
on board the launch Astoria. ' A run
was made down the Willamette , to
Its mouth and back again. During the
course of the trip Commissioner Bowers
Ntook occasion to express himself re
garding the work that is being done in
this state to perpetuate the fishing in
dustry. '
"I regard the Columbia River as the
most successful stream for the propa
gation, development and perpetuation of
the fishing industry in this country," he
said. "The only regret I have is. that
n-e are not able to do more than to send
this consignment of 2.000.000 sockeye
eggs down here from Alaska. I can
assure you that if we had more to spare
at this time we would send them to the
Columbia River.
Experiment Expected Success.
"The passing of the blueback Is one
of the tragedies which we cannot fully,
understand, and thererore are unable to
cope with, but with the restocking of
the Columbia with the sockeyea there
seems to me to be no reason why this
fine variety of commercial fish should
not be propagated at a rate to meet all
demands of the market for seasons to
coine. We shall watch with a great
deal of interest the result of replenish
ing the Columbia River with sockeyes.
but from, what I have seen of the meth
ods employed in this state, I can see no
reason why our experiment should not
be eminently satisfactory."
"I regard the promise of United
States Commissioner Bowers as one of
the most important steps the Govern
ment has ever taken in assisting Ore
gon to maintain the prestige of th Co
lombia as the foremost Ashing stream
in the world," said Mr. McAllister last
night. "It has been a most serious
thing to contemplate the rapid extinc
tion of the blueback. a salmon closely
related to the sockeye. and, despite all
the efforts the fisheries department of
this state has bfcen able to make, the
bluebacka have been vanishing at such
a rate there are but few of them left.
Commissioner Bowers was greatly in
terested In this sltua'tion. and after I
put the matter squarely before him he
agreed to give us ;. 000,000 sockeye
eggs from the Yes Bay hatchery. These
eggs will be down from the north
within about 30 days, and we will at
once make preparations .to receive them
at the Bonneville hatchery. If we have
any luck at all. we ought to be able to
make the Columbia River Just as im
portant a producer of this highly de
sirable .commercial fish as are Puget
Sound and Fraser River today."
Before leaving for California last
night Mr. Bowers expressed deepest
regret that he could not have more time
to Inspect all the hatcheries ami sta
tions on the Columbia and its tribu
taries. "But." he said. "McAllister has
told me enough about conditions in Ore
gon so that I feel that I am pretty well
posted as to the situation here.'"

Transcontinental Passenger - Associ
ation to Be Kequcsted to irant
Privilege for Ten Days Pre
ceding . Celebration Week.
Vor the first time since the- Lewis
and Clark Exposition. Portland Is pre
narlnfr to nslc the Transcontinental Pas
senger Association for special reduced
round-trip rates from all points in the
East to the Pacific Northwest. The spe
cial excursion rates will be asked . for
about ten days preceding the next Rose
Festival, June 6-11, and good returning
within a suitable time limit thcrearter.
This is to lie In addition to the regular
low-rate tourist tickets which are sold
all season, beginning about June 1.
The plan is to make a request
through the passenger traffic officials
of the Hill and Ilarrlman lines cenier
Inir In Portland at the next regular
quarterly meeting of the Transconti
nental Association- in ClTlrago. It is
known that local railroad officials will
use everv effort to secure this conces
stnn for thev have" already advised
President Hoyt, of the Festival, that
they want and really must have some
big celebration In this territory io ex
ploit Shrough their advertising litera
ture as an inducement to get people out
here from the East. The matter' of se
curing favorable rates is even more im
portant than striking features for the
railroad publicity campaigns.
Conventions Are Few. -.
Strongest pressure . will be brought
to bear to get this concession, for the
reason that none of the Pacific Coast
cities has a regular annual celebration
of its own nothing. In fact, that could
be compared as a drawing-card for
tourist business or pleasure-seekers
from tlie East. So far there are no big
National conventions that will draw
Easterners in any great numbers. This
leaves Portland and the, Ross Festival,
which Is already famed the country
over, as the one big attraction for the
Pacific Coast for 1910. Such is the ar
gument the local representatives to the
Passenger Association at Chicago will
be ask,ed to set forth on behalf of the
bid for the low excursion rates.
This situation will be laid be
fore General Passenger Agent McMur
ray, of-the Harriman Northwestern
lines; Assistant General Passenger
Agent Charlton, of fne Northern Pacific,
and Assistant General Passenger and
Freight Agent Jackson, of the Great
Northern, by President Hoyt as soon as
he returns from the PortoJa Festival
celebration at San Francisco. - President
Hoyt wired yesterday that he would be
home Tuesday.
The financial campaign to raise as
near to 100.000 as possible for the 1910
festival will be started w-lthin a few
days. President Hoyt has named his
ways and means committee, consisting
of some of the rrfost prominent business
and professional men of Portland, and
many have accepted. The committee

lasting benefit that such civic celebra

The voluntary subscriptions to the
next year's fund, which have already

double, or more than double, what the

tels have been particularly generous In
Increasing their pledges, although no
canvas? has been made.
The committees of the festivar or
ganization on which President Hoyt
greatly desires "born hustlers to serve
are the decoration and -illumination
committees. The lesson ; learned from
his recent visit to a number of big fes
tivals In the Middle West is that the
most distinctive hit made was through
a uniform and systematic scheme of
decoration of streets, building . fronts
and interiors for daylight "stunts" and
Illuminating effects for the nightly pro- j
