Knapp was 27 years old and at four was recognized as possessing musical aptitude; at 10 years of age he select ed the violoncello on which to devote his study. Two years later he was a member of a string quartette which toured the northwestern cities. STOCK MARKET FIRM. In Spit of Disturbing Influences Steady Undertone Hac Been Maintained. New Tork, Aug. 27. While some what Irregular, the stock market re flected a firm undertone throughout the week, although the volume of business was comparatively small. Its firmness was the more surprising in view of the many developments which ordinarily exert an unfavorable influence, namely, adverse crop reports, local labor trou bles and the absence of any public In quiry for stocks. Reports begin to tell, however, of a renewed demand for high grade securities, the market being at this time almost bare of bonds. The latest turn of affaire in the far east and the national political situation have thus far excited little more than pass ing; atention among speculators who also generally express the belief that reports of crop .damages, particularly lengreatly exaggerated, while evi dence accumulates that the cotton crop fll be a record breaker. The outflow of money to facilitate irop movements has set In from thi center, but thus far has made no Ira pression upon money conditions, which continue easy. to see that the laws are enforced, that had backbone enough to stay out of this mutual agreement society mid en force the law. Then note that he puts the poor fishermen before the puckers! Why did he not also say that when the first run of salmon came, after the mid l!e of July and not one of the poor fishermen hud made enough to pay his board that the first move the packers made was to reduce the price of fish from 6 and 7 cents per pound to 5 and 6 cents. This was also done by mutual agreement, but the poor fishermen were not a party thereto. Then he might also have added that after the season was legally closed, these same packers made an attempt to reduce Ihe price on the poor fish ermen to 3 cents, out tne fishermen were a little too much for them this time, and they had to pay the price or shut up shop. Xow if some of these same poor fish ermen, who havo been unfortunate and have not made enough during the sea son to supply their families with the necessaries of life during the coming winter, should see fit or be compelled to visit the packers warehouse and take some of these canned salmon, which are rightfully theirs, will the sheriff and all other officials of the law form a mutual agreement society and say that the law was only mildly violated? You say the law was standing i the way of the prosperity of the peo pie, and was mildly violated; just the case of the poor fishermen I have stat ed above. Who are these people? Was this state law enacted especially for those who are engaged in the Ashing Indus try this season? Or was it enacted for the protection of the salmon, that some of them might pass on up the river to their spawning grounds, either to spawn naturally, or from which a sup' ly of eggs could be taken to be propa' gated artificially? So that the people who are fortunate enough to be In these parts In years to come, may also enjoy a small share of that prosperity. And how about the people along the middle Columbia? Are they not en titled to a little prosperity, as well as these salmon sharks at Astoria? How many fish have they seen this season Have not the most of their pack gone to them on an express train, instead of swimming up the river as they are in the habit of doing? But then it may be easier for the salmon to go that way, and these same salmon sharks at As prosperity" out of them Pears Pears Soap is made in a clean, sun-flooded factory; then stored a full vear in a dry, airy place, before com ing to you.

Says the Next Legislature Should Re peal the Law Protecting Salmon. Astoria, Aug. 27. (Editor The Asto rian.) I see by an article published in your Issue of the 21st that you have undertaken to give me a little free ad Tertisement. I am very thankful to yon for giving me an opportunity to say a few more words on the violation oC the laws of the state. It is not often that I take the trouble to enter into a discussion of any subject through the newspapers; but when I do I like to have it appear in some paper that is circulated through the state, and con sequently was obliged to patronize the Portland Oregonian. Tes, I guess I do lack some home pride, and should have shut up like a clam and said nothing when I saw one of the most important as well as heneficial laws of the state so boldly and completely ignored by state offi cials, high In authority, who have taken a solemn oath to support and main tain the laws of the state, and all for the benefit of a few salmon hogs, at Astoria A good portion of my home pride was legislated out of me In 1901, and the balance has all gone during the past 10 days. Would any man feel proud to hall from Astoria, where the jreedy salmon packers bid defiance to the laws of the state? If this Is some thing to be proud of, I can truly say that I have no home pride left. Hear the excuse offered by the writer ef "Lack of Home Pride," and then ask how long he hag been in Oregon. "Be cause oi tne Backward season, and a desire to allow the fishermen and pack ers to reap the harvest that is right fully theirs, It was mutually agreed that the closed season should be disregard ed for a few days." Now this has been ne of the most pleasant seasons, with the best weather for fish and fishing that we have had for 25 years. "Rightfully theirs." How did they obtain this right? Simply by taking the law in their own hands, knowing, as they have already admitted by this mutual agreement, that there was none of the. state officials who are supposed Rocky Mountain. For these and various other reasons you say the law was mildly violated If you call this a mild dose of viola tion, the" salmon and the prosperity of the people In future years, are to be pitied, when these same lawbreakers see fit to give a severe dose of their lawless acts. As to the "grace'' of my letter to the Oregonian, be it poor or good, it seems to have been good enough to nettle the writer of "Lack of Home Pride-," who I have reason to believe was one of the guilty ones, to know that there was one person In Astoria, or the state even, that had sand enough to stand up for the law of the state, against this mutual agreement society. Perhaps my conduct when I held the office of fish commissioner was not "unusually suc cessful," but I succeeded In supporting my oath of office, and made a desper ate effort to enforce the law, as some of these same lawbreakers can testify, ROUTE YOUR SHIPMENTS TheJ Margarita Fischer Company Opening Play Society Drsnu "Mother and Son" CHANGE OF PROGRAM NIGHTLY SPECIAL SCENERY AND COSTUMES SPECIALTIES BETWEEN THE ACTS Prices 25 and 35 cents Ruerved Stat Sale 0pat Setuedey tt Grid ?ini Book Store.
