It Is not unneces- ttemnt made by a witness called tartly detrimental to the state because congressional committee can- he has a right to so exercise It, but when he reaches his hand up for the apposed to giving him another fish warden at J 1000 a ear as you say In your issue of the 3d Inst for carrying around a title at the expense of the tax payers of the state. I am opposed to giving him a clerk for $900 per year to do his office work, which he receives 92500 per year for doing himself. If you care to call this an opposition to fish legislation I am opposed to such ism being enacted for the sole benefit . ef Van Dusen. We, as cannerymen, eld storage and fishermen, have paid Into the hatchery fund in the past six . years about 190,000. The state has appropriated some $50,000 more to build hatcheries. ' The fish wardens have lrawn from the general fund W700 each year for salaries and ex penses for six years or 134,000 more from the taxpayers, or the sum fully for the six years of 3175,000. that this simple fish legislation has cost our state and what have we for It to show to the people who have contribute so liberaly, we have a hatchery at Ontario, Oregon, which by a closed season in 1101 produced ln eggs .Twenty Two Millions in 1904 by Van Dusen recor dations. Leave It to me that we need ed oe further closed season less than roar Millions ke find at the Little White Salmon in 1817 the U 8 govern ment Hatchery fish year when they operated their under the pine Trees with out a Building they got Twelve Million . Eggs this they keej on in creasing Yearly : until 1903 they got Thirty Nine Millions In 1904 with an pen season they took less than Three 1 Million Eggs. We find In Van Dusen! report of 1903 and fro mhis own Hps in the presents of the canners an J I cold storage men, that all he needs is More Money and you car open toe river Wide open I will Hatch you all the salmon you need. Just leave that to me, these were his very words. They agreed to leave It to him voted for a 50 per cent raise in Ileened and had a law enacted to cover their sen timents, we find him at Salem in 1905 with House Bill 142 introduce By Bury ef Coos, for. an auther in ereatse making- canners pay 3c per case Cold Storage men and Dealers $2.00 per ton for all fish ban died, this time he did not ask for canners cold storage men to have a say or If they Liked it or could stand it or regard lees as to what Washington would do but simp ly because he could spend It and the fishermen could pay it. I want to say to you I far one m opposed to such legislating and when ever it is at tended I shall go to Salem and appear before the committees of Both House and . state my objeJtion plainly re gardless to any abuse any news paper in the state may heap upon me. I ask ao favors from the Legislators but 1 do not propose to sit Idly by and al low Van Dusen to . heap his method upon the flsherries of this state unex plained to members of the Legislators who do not understand the need of the fisheries other than what they get from Van Dusen hie annul reports, and as you have seen fit to use my name in manner very greely to your readers as a holiest I think it but fair you should publish this in Your paper so that the people of your city and county where your paper has n wide circula tion, an as far as you say I have, never given a dollar to benefit Hatch eries 1 Wftnt to say to you this it cost nothing to tell the truth when you know better and you can call on my person enlmey G. H. Van Dusen, it a bad ever to call twice for his IN eened fee from the firm I represent, if when the state board refused to al low him to use funds of the state hatchery fund to test the Snake rivet if our firm did not furnish him with a seine 450 ft long hung 40 feet deep with all lines cory read to Haul free of charge and If the Informations given him by my self and Friends did not aid him In locating the Hatchery on a committee of the state senate, when he debauches that committee he strikes at the root of government and Is ask ing the state of California to become a government for the purpose of oppres sion and private vengeance.

The manufacturers held a meeting this afternoon and af ter & thorough discussion of the situ ation decided to telegraph the situa tion to the minister of finance. Twenty-five factories, among them the larg est In Lods paid off their men today and decided to close down indefinitely. The number of men discharged was over 40,000. Several other mills, which had previously closed down, have refused to pay the strikers who demand the. money due them. At one mill, which refused to pay yesterday, the strikers spent the entire night around the office. The situation is growing more critical, and serious trouble is anticipated.

Carlyle suffered from dyspepsia and disappointment lie was therefore nei ther orersynipatbetic In Intercourse with bis friends nor fair lo his esti mates of other writers. Though he personally lived Tenny son, he .spoke, with Impatience of bit "cobbling bis odea,? dismissed Jane Austen's novels as "dish washings," Hallam, tbe historian, as "dry as dust" and Goldsmith as an "Irish black guard." " ': ' ! Even tbe writers of editorials in tbe press were sainted with this bard say tag: "What are these fellows 'doing? They only serve to cancel one anoth er." A characteristic enecdote Ulna trates bis cruel disposition, which pro voked blm to inflict pain even on a friend. An artist who frequented, Carlyle's bonse painted a picture of him in bis dressing gown smoking a pipe by the fireside and Mrs. Carlyle in an arm chair sitting opposite him. Tbe pic ture was hung at one of tbe Royal academy's exhibitions and, though hot a striking work of art, was purchased by Lord Asbburton, Carlyle's friend, for 500. Tbe delighted artist hurried off to tbe Carlyles, expecting congratulations on tbe sale and some manifestation of pleasure on their part at having sucb a value set on picture of themselves and their domestic interior. He deliv ered bis glad tidings, but all the re sponse be received from Carlyle was: "Well, in my opinion, 500 was Just I486 too much." Important Not lee. We have made another progressive step.
