Dean, who now has charge of the saluioii hatchery at Mapleton, we learn that the taking of the spawn was commenced there Oct. 26th. The fi3h are doing nicely in the b)xes and now many of them are ready for spawning. This shows that Messrs. Bass and Talbot, who were Bent here two years ago to operate the hatchery, wera mistaken in saying that fish enough could not bo obtained to be worili while to run the hatchery. By getting fish from the seine near Acme and taking them to the hatchery, the cost of securing enough fish for spawning is much less than where a seine has to be used to catch fish for the hatchery alone. If some attention be given to it at tho right time, it may be that in a few years a spring run of salmon could be built up of sum cient numbers to make it profitable to fish in the spring as well as in tho fall. If that Bhould be done tho Siuslaw would then be one of tho best streams on the coaBt for fishing. Who Bays "It never rains in Oregon." s Judge W. S.

He remarks that the state i is full of males and females of loose j virtue and ignorance, and the fair , est, richest and most enjoyable state in the Union will eventually be como the tenderloin of America ! "a charming place to sow wild oats, ibutan impossible place .to set up lares and pen ties.'' SALEM'S UEEIj Portl.md Tribune: The-" of tho supreme court of thte0 onBUitbroiKht by citizen 'r9' lem,th.t all eleemosynaJyfr tutions muBt be situated Si capital of tho state, under the. St.. eonstitution, is another examni. r the unreasonable greed of mi or pie of Salem. They have thl nffi" tentiary, the insane nylZt' capitol building, the dSf "iSj school, the reform school unn which institutions thn a i . . raving o, th city live, never making anysfT,! " n . - 4 lautor es, hnl supplying the wants of the eeverfi state institutions. The objection set up by the peo. pie of Salem, which prevents ths construction of a branch inBan! asylum and a branch penitentur east of the mountains, is unreaioB. able in the extreme, and cannot justified. It CDSts the state thnm. ands of dollars each year to brine patients and convicts from the fJ eastern counties to Salem, and the long trip is very bad for the health of the insane persons, and very dangerous for the guards who ac company them. There is no reason except tb greed of Salem why branches of tlieBO institutions should not be built east of the mountains, and" an amendment to the constitution providing for the same should be submitted to the people at the next general election. The silver senators say they will not stand In tho way of a republi can tariff bill. Tho New York World has Sena tor Mitchell of Oregon slated fora portfolio in McKinley's cabinet It gives him the department of interior. The majority for John F.

The mon ey question is not settled and it will not be during the uext four years. Borrowing money is but a temporary shift. Get out of debt , and stay out of debt is the proper policy to pursue in these troubloui financial times. Portland Tribune: ''Good ad vice to those who have been re moved from the fire and police de partments would be to go to work and quit crying.
