of l votea, The preelneta outside of

waa all along thought .that Megler
would poll a sufficient majority at

that Pulworih had been at the missing

office on Thursday evening, and had a
very Interesting session of about three
hours duration. There were present
C. W. Camahan, president of the club,
and 8. S. Gordon, A. L. Fox and An

ing waa to learn from Mr. Van Dusen
what was being done In the way of
establishing hatcheries for the benefit
of the Columbia river fishermen, and
to see if the dub could aid the warden
In any way. Much interesting Infor

I on the right track In establishing
his new hatcheries at Ontario and
Grande Ronde, and that they will be
of great benefit In increasing the May
and June runs. One thing urgently
needed Is a flshway at Oregon City
falls, which Mr. Van Dusen Is sure
would result In putting a fine run of
early May fish Into the Mackenzie,
where a hatchery should be establish

tire receipts from all soureeefor fishery
purposes are only about 310.000 with

plain that help must be had from the
state if any great good is to be ac
