THE HATCH EKY.
Florence West: From Mr. L. E.
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.

SALEM'S UEEIj

capital of tho state, under the. St..
eonstitution, is another examni. r
the unreasonable greed of mi or

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.

Money is still scarce. The mon

will not be during the uext four

temporary shift. Get out of debt ,
and stay out of debt is the proper
policy to pursue in these troubloui
financial times.

Jefferson lost his first battle in
