GOVERNMENT
WANTS PLANT
United States Fish Commission Is
Anxous to Operate the
Ontario Hatchery.
PROPOSAL HAS BEEN MADE
If the State Will Agree, the Govern'
ment Will Conduct the Plant on
Larger Soale, Commencing
With Next Season.
A letter received by Samuel Elmore
from F. A. Seufert, The Dalles cannery
man, conveys the Information that the
United States fish commission is desir
ous of taking over and operating the
big hatchery at Ontario. At the pres
ent time the fish commission is operat
ing three hatcheries in this state
Clackamas, Little White Salmon and'
Big White Salmon. The combined out
put of these plants for the season re
cently closed was 34,500,000.
The government plants are doing
ery good work, and it Is believed there
will be no objection to turning the On
tario plant over to, the government, es
pecially in view of the offer of tne
commission to pay all the operating ex
penses and conduct work, there to the
fullest possible extent. . The commis
sion agrees to allow th state to en
large the hatchery. ; .
The letter received by Mr. Klmore
from Mr. Seufert is as follows:
'The Dalles, Dec, 17. Mr. S. Elmore,
Astoria Dear Sir: I have a letter from
United Slates Fi3h Commissioner Bow
ers, dated Washington, u. v., icem
lier 10, in which he states that the
United States fish commission will be
glad to take over the .Ontario plant and
operate it to its fu,ll capacity, the state
to enlarge it as may be required.
The commission would pay all wages
of employes and operate the plant un
der an arrangement similar to that un
der which the Hume hatchery is con
ducted on Rogue river. We should come
together and see that this is done at
once, so the commission may nave a
clear field for next season.
F. A, SEUFERT."
The government commission will se
cure equally as good results from the
Ontario plant as have been secured by
the state fish warden, and, as there are
other excellent sites for hatcheries, it is
probable the proposal will be favorably
received, While there" may be some
feeling that it is hardly fair to the
state fisheries department to turn over
its best hatchery to the government,
the people are looking for results, and,
If the government will assist to the ex-
nt indicated in Mr. Seufert's letter,
the salmon interests of the Columbia
could be materially advanced by the
state working up other hatchery prop
ositions. The Ontario plant is capable
handling fully 30,000.000 eggs, the
output last season having been 20,000,
C00. With this plant added to its Ore
con hatcheries, the . Ish commission
ould provide annually about1 60,000,-
000 young fish.
The matter will be brought to the
attention of the state fish commission
immediately.
THE OLD RELIABLE

Absolutely Pure
THERE IS W SUBSTITUTE
three years," wrote Mrs. Dye, "I have
received inquiries from reading and
study clubs, circles and socities asking
me what history of Oregon I consid
ered the best for purposes of general
interest and information.' Now, to any
who may be Interested in that subject,
let me say that while all are good, and
many are excellent, the very best, in
my, humble Judgment, is the new "His
tory of Oregon, the Growth of an
American State," by Horace S. Lyman,
of Astoria. The enli'ghtened spirit that
pervades "it, the absence of prejudice,
the collossal knowledge of facts and
their phllosophio bearings, the sympa
thetic and poetic glimpses of periods
and events almost forgotten, and the
clear,, -translucent literary style marks
it as pre-eminently a work that every
club and library should have at com-
mnnd. That such a historian has
arisen among us," born here and fa-
miliar with conditions and traditions
from actual contact, is a matter of con
gratulatlon.', Not that there are slight
errors such can be corrected but the
whole breadth and tone are more than
that of a mere chronicler, they are that
of a master of the suDject. it is o
ntterlv unlike any other history cf
Oregon ever written that no matter
how many books on that subject one
may have, this one pre-eminently ought
to be possessed and read. Too modest
tn rlRlm anvthine for himself, this
author is slowly but surely funding his
way to the top. And the new light on
old subjects is truly surprising. I feel
that not enough has been said on this
monumental effort of a typical Oregon
scholar, who is giving his life to quiet,
political research." ,

to Say of Astoria Author's
Work.
Revolution Imminent.
A sure sign of approaching revolt and
serious trouble in your system Is ner
vousness, sleeplessness, or stomach up
seto. ' Electric Bitters will quickly dis
member the troublesome causes. ' It
never falls to tone the stomach, regu
late the kidneys and bowels, stimulate
the liver and clarify the blood. Run
down systems benefit particularly and
all the usual attending aches vanish
under its searching and thorough ef
fectiveness. Electric Bitters is only 50
cents, and that is returned if it don't
give perfect satisf ictlon. Guaranteed
by ChaS., Rogers, druggist. -
Mrs. Eva Emery Dye, herself the
author of "The Conquest," the world
famous history of the Lewis and Clark
expedition, asserts that H. 8. Lyman's
"History of Oregon, the Growth of an
American State," Is beyond doubt the
finest history of Oregon yet written,
and incidentally lves Mr Lyman a
senrtoff that is seldom accorded by one
that has attained the high literary
standard and wide reputation as has
JTrS. Dye. The masterly criticism ap
