Master Fish Warden Van Pusen will confer with Representative Tongue to day In Portland respecting the measure Introduced nt the last congress to grant a large appropriation for the establish ment of a government hatchery, tribu tary to the Columbia, on the O.

Mr. Tongue, how-everc-doea not anticipate but that the appropriation will be granted. The ob ject In eatabllshlng the hatchery on the O. It. & N. line la that an available point of distribution la wanted- The first Columbia river antelt have Just been taken io tha Portland mar ket. They were caught near Eagle Cliff and brought TS cents a pound, at which figure only a few of the lover of thla dellclou fish could afford to regale themselves. According to a story that Is going the rounds, a young woman made a very funny attempt upon her Ufa a few nights ago. Utterly tired of this world and those Inhabatlng the particular circle In which ahe swung, she deter mined to end It all. Accordingly she repaired to ber apartments, secured 18-caliber cartridge, and, holding It In one hand, with the bullet pointing to ward her head, touched a lighted match to Hhe other end. Eventuully, of course, the cartridge became so hot that she could no longer hold It. Af ter wasting tnough matches to start all the fires In Astoria, ahe gave It up in desnalr. convinced that fate had de creed that ahe should live out her mis erable existence. Reports from tit. Helens slate that a lurg j number of log belonging to par tie on twls river broke loose dur ing the recent heavy rains, and are now llo.it I n about In the Columbia. The Columbia Lumber company of Van comer I the heaviest ownet exper iencing losses, though by all means not the only one. The freshets however, will not work hardships altogether, for many of the loggers will be enabled by the high tld- to flout thlr logs out of the smaller stream tiibutury to the Columbia. The scarcity of logs at the present time l vry nollcable, the St. lb U na Lumber company being unnbte to secure enough to fill order. This, however. Is not expected to continue for any length of time, as the output from the smaller streams will doubt less nil the deficiency. Nothing more has come to public no lle In the case of the three men un der arrest at Fort Stevens for tho al leged attempt to burn the pot. It I understood that all three are atlll con fined In the guardhouse there, and that their trial by couitmortla! will take place shortly. It Is reported that one of in men Is a private named Thomp son, but thl report lacks authentk-ltr. A story went the round A day or two that the suspects had been releas ed from cust.dy, but this appears to hv b:n erroneous. It was likewise Mated thut the reputed capture" of the suspects by a detective was thr story of a dninkJn soldier, but the informa tion rami from an authentic source nnd waa unquestionably correct. Whether or not the officers at the post have aucceeded In getting anything out of the men now held cannot w learned, nor ha anrthlng yet develop- ed which would tend to show a reason fur the Incendiarism. H M. Urnnsford, secretary of the Toks Point Oystsr company, returned yriterdny from a business trip to Port land. During hi absence a report was In circulation that perhnp some out- side oyster company was making an fford to buy out certain stockholders In the Toke Point company, but Mr. Rninsford tald. when questioned, that, If the rumor had It thnt these stocK. hoi ! had any such Intention. It was not founded on fact Such a report nilitht have ome, he said, from the de cision of the company not to bring any more young oyster from the east next I spring, which had In aome manner be- i come public property, The oyster crop in the east la almost a complete rail-, urn this year, there being practically j no "set" at all In Atlantic waters. The Tke Tolnt company having purchased sufficient during the seasons when "set" M as good to tile It over, no stock I will be lmnortl in 1903, aa it could not be brought out without absolute loss, on account of Its high price and poor quality thla year. , The recent high tldea have caused , a great amount of damage to the farm-1 era and rnnch?rn living on the Youngai and Lewie and Clark rivers. While the j tides were of course high out of all j reason .nevertheless the damage; would have been greatly aim Mora ted j nnd probably altogether prevented had the dvke been all of standard height, i which I 6 1-2 feet. This Is well shown by the fact that the land Just reclaimed j on the Lewis and Clark by the con- j structlon of the big dyke by the Colum- i hia Plgfier company's dredge Is abso lutelv free from thi Hood, the barrl. end" of earth rem lining altogether In- diet. This Is n good Illustration of the value of a "machine made" dyke with modern measurements. Ttw old dykes, however, have shrunken considerably since being built, on the Younga river the land of Pnrtoldus, MoCormack, ltiisnmssen, Gallagher and Gustafson was flooded, all tlw proprietors ex periencing more or less loss. Those on the Lewis nnd Clark Who had their farms drowned nre W. J. Ingnlls, John Mnshodo. Gust Holmes, D. Heckard. Kbson, John Relth and Jcffers. It la thought also thnt Johnson Is a sufferer but lo what extent, If any at all, has not vet been ascertained. The total loss Is variously estimated and can not lie correctly stated. The only cost th farmers will be put to will be the repairing of the Injured dykes and this will probably not amount -to aa much a at first thought. The dredge now employed on the Lewis and Clark will repair the injuries on the dykes be longnng to Gust Holmes and- John Mashodo nnd will perhaps do the work for aome of the other ranchers.

The wisdom of thl policy Is amply demonatrated by the present efficient administration of the city government, under which a great many needed Im provements have been made, a com petent police force and fire department maintained, and at the same time the citVs Indebtedness greatly reduced.
