Utzlnrer tai Wrlfht for Couocllmen. The eleotlrm yesterday was one cf the most 'jul'-t onn h-id In thla city for many years and very little excite ment prevailed at any time at any of the polling booths. Tha vole was very light, only about 1000 votes being cast. Thl la bus than half the regular vote. The citizens' or non-partisan contin. gent scored a complete victory, the reg ular ticket falling considerably beh'nd In all of tho three wards. A. M. Hmlth, for city attorney, was elected by 421 majority. Mr. Hmlth la the present act ing city attorney. The office of pollca commissioner waa the one around which the greater amount of Interest cen tered and even those who presumed to know lh mont about the probable re mit were a little doubtful as to what ! the vot wjuld show. The name of D. H. Welch waa the only one on the reg milar ballot, having been put on by a mandamus writ. U. O. Moen, however, had been appointed to the position by the mayor and confirmed by the coun cil, and the opinion that he should con tinue In the office till the expiration of his term In January, 1304, seemed to be general enough so that Welch'a name was s ratched heavily and Moen elected by 4.'2 majority. In the First ward. Jens Hansen, the present Incum bent, was returned by 1HS majority, as was Councilman C. C. Utzlnger In the Second ward by SO majority. In the Third ward the result was closer, Fred E. Wright being elected by 44 major ity over Charles Goddard. The fight in the Third ward was thought to be very doubtful and the result was very much in the nature of a surprise. The following is the vote by wards: Firs; ward, for city attorney: A. M. Smith.

Filed Tuesday at Salem and Contains Interesting Matter Concerning Oregon's Greatest In dustry. Fish Commissioner Reed has submit ted his regular annual export for the year ending December 1, 1!W0, to Gover nor Ger. The report is an exhaustive one and gives a connected statement In chronological ord 'r of his olllcial acts, presents details of his several visits to all the hatcheries in the state, together with Important statistics as to the numher of salmon eggs placed, and in cidentally offers suggestions as to how the efliclency of hatcheries may be in creased. Ho Is of the opinion that the Eastern Oregon and Idaho settler is responsible in u larce degree for the decrease In the number of salmon. The present methods used for Irrigation together with the wanton destruction of the nsh ready to spawn make great inroads in to the natural propagation. Mr. Reed evidently has made a care ful study of the effect of the laws re lating to Oregon's fishing industry, and a large part of his report is devoted to discussing them and to modifica tions which he thinks should be made. On the subject he says: Since mi' last report on the opera tion of the law gowning the fishing in the state of Oregon, having had one more season in which to observe the results of the same, I find It is very important that some changes be made In addition to those recommended at that time." He recommends that the spring close season for the Columbia and Willam ette rivers and their tributaries begin at 6 n. m., January 1, and continue un til 6 p. m. April SO. The fall olost season on the Columbia river from 6 a. m. August 15 to 8 p. m. September 15. He states as reasons for this ex tensive change the necessity for the protection of chlnooks during the first close season and for steelheads during the second. Further recommendations ask that the state give fish commissioner author ity to build racks on any of the small streams in the state, and make It un lawful to fish within two miles below same. . The distance between pound new. traps or weirs should oe 1000 feet, and distance between set nets 300 feet, al lowing no lead or shear to extend down stream from any part of the pot or pound of the trap, and no set net shall have any ehfar or wir.g ertcndlr.sr dawn stream from the outer end thereof. Al io no set net or other fixed appliance WISE S SWEEP SALE Have Yoa a Kiek Goming If Your Potits Don't Fit?

The report also contains suggestions as to the tax on cold storage bus! ness, insufficient appropriations, depu ties, destruction of predatory animals and the improvement of Ooe fishway at Willamette falls. He urges toe ne cessity for legislation and gives a de tailed statement of the hatcheries and -their work as well as the value of the salmon pack of 1900. GERTRUD SAFE. Puts Into San Francisco Harbor Yes terday Afternoon for Repairs. A dispatch from San Francisco, dat ed. December 12, says: The German ship Gertrud, which was reported in distress after leaving Astoria, a few days ago, and concerning the safety of which grave fears have been expressed by northern shipping men, put Into this port thl afternoon for repairs. Her captain reported this afternoon that De cember 2. when 150 miles west south west ot Astoria the ship encountered a heavy sea and a strong southerly gale. It was soon discovered that the ship was leaking and had twelve inchea of water In hor hold. After removing some of the cargo it was found that the leak was through an open port hole on the starboard side. The Oertrud after speaking the pilot boat November 30th sailed in a north erly direction and a few days later was reported offt the Sound. A tug. and later a small fleet of tugs, put out In search of the ship but failed to locate her. Nothing further was heard from her and fears were entertained that she had gone to the bottom, until yester day afternoon when it was l?axned that the had made San Francisco. The Sound papers have been full of stories of her bumping on the bar at the mouth of the Columbia river and thus straining her hull, caused the leak. These stories were pure falsifications Intended, no doubt, as attempts to injure this port, and had not the slight est foundation In fact. Captain Tat ton, the pilot who took the Gertrud out states that the bar was exceptionally smooth that day and that the ship did not come anywhere near touching bot tom. The steamship Universe crossed out at the same time almost alongside and, although of deeper, draught, did not touch. As btaU'd by the captain of the Gertrud In the above dispatch the leak was caUwCJ from nncr.ur.'rlr. y ieas 150 mllea outside the bar.

' An Important capture was made yes terday by the Northern Pacific detec tives a few miles from Pasco. After days of fruitless watching, the officers came upon a deserted bouse a mile from the first Northern Pacific station east of Pasco, and found cached therein a quantity of goods stolen recently from freight cars at and about Pasco. In the late afternoon, while the detectives lay. in wait, two men appeared and were about to enter the house when they were arrested. Names are not available, but the rumor has gained cir culation that the two prisoners are prominent cltlxens of southwestern Franklin county. TKEASURER'S NOTICE.
