' the Pacific Fish erman prints the Mowing In Its cur rent Issue; t , , . "Since the Issuance of . our. October number we have received many Inquir ies relative to .the shad fisheries on this cpast. These, fish are practically; the same as the famous eastern ehad, the enormous number now , found pn the Columbia river being the result, the planting of eastern fry, on this river by the United States fish oommlssloni Answering, an Inquiry of; ours relative to these fish Master Fish Warden .Van Dusen, of Oregon, writes ua as follows: , '."The principal shad fishing done here is during the months of May and June. The canners and , packers'; to whom I have spoken relative to the matter are very anxious to encourage and assist any one who might be dis posed to come here to make use of the product. They say that there is no limit to the supply. . The only thing that has bothered them has been the finding of a market. The fish run from four to eht pounds. I- don't know how they compare with the eastern fish and think this could only be de termined by one who was; familiar with both the eastern and western shad 1 shall be glad to do all that I can to assist you In Interesting some of the eastern firms In this fish.' "There is no reason wwhy the Colum-. bla river shad fishery should not de velop into an Important Industry. The fish are there and it only remains for a market to be found to take the pro duct."

Hume of Wedderburri fur nishes elequent testimony in favor of the salmon hatchery. This year he packed 21,000 cases of salmon, besides putting down in salt from 700td 800 barrels of choice fish. Time was when Mr. Hume found it difficult to pack over 5,000 cases, but that was before he established, , his salmon hatchery. ' In this connection It is worthy 'of note that It Is not long since the record of Mr. Hume's hatchery on Rogue Hver eclipsed that ,0 f the Columbia river hatchery for the same, year.

H Even In this siuge of wonders no one would have expected to experience the doubtful pleasure of a head-on railway collision without the usual horrors of a amashup, yet that Is put forward by art Inventor for hVs most recent inven tion. ' ' '",! i, , A slnigle track is used, on which rail way cars are .caused to travel. (l Two cars go head-on for each other, at, a, speed of 25 miles, an hour. They approach,. within the danger limit, and suddenly the car having the right-of- way runs over the other and lonids on the track again, where It continues in safety until it reaches its destination The under car has proceeded as If noth ing had happened. , , ; ine cars, aunougn they run upon wheels, are really traveling , bridges, with compartments for the accommo dation qt passengers. Over the framed structure of the car thus constituted an arched track la carried, fastened to the car and serving the purpose of providing a roadbed for the oncoming car. " .. ,. .,;". . The forward ends of the pilots of the superimposed tracks are provided with rollers and skids which are so designed that, one car Shall mount i. the other Without shock. , ' : The skids gently ride up the inclined track of the car ahead, and sufficiently elevate the rollers of the pilots to per mit them -to run upon the 'superim posed track without Jar. The car it 'Self follows with a motion equally as gentle. I In actual practice cars of eleven feet six inches In length will be employed, the extreme length belhg forty.thre feet. ' - . , 4 ,v , i Good Effect of:'; Big Traffic War Pacific Mail Steamships Company to Send Steamer Here Every 1 Twenty Days. The rate war being waged at San Francisco by the allied steamship conv panles against the hina Commercial Company is to be carried north: The Columbia will sooh be the scene of opi erations. " ' Plans are now being perfected ' to have a Paclfis Mall steamer call here every three weeks on the outward yoy- ' age to the orient. The' China Com mercial Company was formed last Mayj and since that date the old-established lines haye been, using their combined efforts , to put the newcomer out of business. ' So far they have failed, the new concern meeting every cut, in rates that has been made. " 1 ' Recently the'Chlna Commercial Com pany sent the Lothian to the Columbia to receive a flour cargo. That was a move which was not looked for. Semi officially it" is staled that before many days elapse one 'tf the Pacific 'Mall's freighters will come north and securs a flour cargo for Japan and China. This one wlll .be followed by another, and still a third, establishing a regular thiee weeks' service between the Co lumbia and the far east. ' If eventually the China Commercial Is driven out of the field, the Paclflo Mail will no longer call here. By that time It Is expected that the Portland- Asiatic company's, fleet will be suffic iently largj to handle the business with out outside assistance. ...

When' her, nrnvnr. Wo .n. swered she was delighted and her faith greatly augmented thereby. But when , one day less than two years later, the lft was repeatea, she looked gravely apprehensive. ' "I don't want two brothers," she' ex plained, "and I'm sure I prayed too much. I hope Ood won't answer every prayer I made for a little' brother by sending one for each." But the best evidence of the respon eiblllty she felt in the matter was dls closed, on a, subsequent occasion, .when she heard her father and mother flls-? dourslng to a dinner , ,tabl , full' of; gucstB upon;th merit' andlattractlons of these two little sons -"Yes,- tauntwi" this tjupeTlor":' eider sister of six years, "and you wouldn't! neve, triad eiths-rt 3one of them if it: hadn't been for me."
