Wrigbtman, of Salem, who for eight year has lcn an assistant to Secretary of State Dunbar, having encial charge of the corporation tax bureau. He is thor oughly familiar with the duties of the otliisj in every particular; is lieyoml question entirely competent arid trust worthy, is a gentleman who is accom modating and democratic in manner and has a multitude of friends, and he will poll a very large and very likely the largest vote at the primaries in April fur this n. N'ew Age. Hesldents of the territory con tiguous to the Cixpillle Itiver, in Coos and Curry counties, are working to se cure the establishment of a salmon hatchery on that stream and have pre sented a ietition to the State Board of Fish Commissioner.

I would like to have, and the time is coming when we will have, one or more hatcheries on every stream in the State with an outlet to the sea. It cost a pile of money to build and operate them, however, and without the nei-cwary funds we cannot hope to do it all at once. It must mine about by degree. "The ('(spiille Itiver is an ideal stream for hatchery purposes and eventually a station will be established thire. We have no funds aavilshle now, however. DO YOU WEAR THE PANTS?
