They amount to $3626.40. The report of Mr. Van Dusen on hatching operations follows: "The work on the Clackamas River below the Cazadero Dam we have well in hand and have everything ready for the taking of spawn. A few mature salmon have been caught and spawn tak en therefrom, but the greater portion of the fi'h will not be ready for spawning for another couple weeks. We are equipped to take and eve four million egg9, and from a careful estimate of the number of salmon that we have in between the racks we" should get fully that many eggs. If, when we get to handling the salmon we find more than what we have estimated, the govern ment peopel will be asked to assist in taking care of them. So far the sal mon have stood their confinement as well as at any of our Columbia River stations, where the early fish have been retained, and it looks as though we would get a good lot of eggs from them. "The new hatchery building for the McKenzie River was completed by the contractor and accepted by Superintend ent W. A. Smith June 29, 1907; it is a one-story structure, 109 feet long by 55 feet 4 inches wide with a 10-foot ceil ing in the clear eet on concrete piers, and has a capacity for 168 hatching throughs, each 15 feet 8 Inches long.

In lte report received from Superintendent Smith,' he stated tlwt he only has one more load of lumber to haul, and that he is now get ting along rapidly wiilt the construc tion of his Hume and thinks that he will be ready with it before the salmon begin to spawn. "At the Siuslaw station we have .also been delayed considerably with om con struction work on account of not Wing able to get lumber. The work there is being done by day's work by Super intendent Joseph Slemmous who reports that his lumber is now coming along in good order and that he has hi build ing all framed and raised and will with out doubt, have it fully equipped before the egg-toking . season. The building and am In hopes of being able to have a fully equipped experimental station on each stream this year where a supply of eggs can be collected. In the past, the eggs collected at the South Coos River Hatchery have been divided with the Coquille and the eggs collected at the Yaquina Hatchery have been divided with the Alsea, but this rear I will endeavor to have a station on each of these streams where a collection of eggs can be made from the salmon native thereto. "Very respectfully submitted, "H. O. VAN DUSEN, "Master Fish Warden." M'GOWAN FISH TRAP PULLED UP THE WAR DEPARTMENT HAS ISSUED AN ORDER FOR THE REMOVAL OF TRAPS -WHERE THEY OBSTRUCT. Secretary Rosenberg of the United Fishermen, received yesterday the fol lowing despatch from Washington, D. C, from the president of the American Fed eration of Labor: "Ed. Rosenberg, Astoria, Or.: Letter from War Deparment advises order is sued for removal of McGowan tran. Letter follows. "SAMUEL G05IPER9." Mr. Rosenberg stated this i of treat importance to the fishermen of the Co lumbia because it establihes the prin ciple that no fishtmp can be operated at points in the river where a trap ob structs or endangers the navigation of fishermen's boats. The McGowan trap reterred to is located just below Point fclhce on the aMiinsrton shore. It was ordered removed on complaint of the Fishermen's Union by the War Depart ment on August 30, 1906. The heavy ice of last winter took it out. But Mc Gowan, not satisfied with the order of the Department, secured a re-opening or the case. Before the decision was ren dered, the trap wag driven, evident!? In anticipation of a reversal of la-t year's decision. Senator Fulton sent a des patch strongly protesting against grant ing of permit to this trap. President Gompers in person presented the case of the fishermen to Secretary of War Taft. The result is shown by Gomper' tele gram, also by the important fact that McGowan's piledriver was vesterdav pulling the piling of this trap. Mr. Kosenberg concluded, the value of this decision, aside from the question of navigation, is that en ever-increasing evil has been effectively checked. Tfcat H the watchword.

Concord SEASIDE A POPULAR RESORT BEACH BEING CLEANED OF TREES AND MANY COTTAGES GOING UP LARGER CROWD THIS YEAR THAN' EVER BEFORE. During the past week thei ha been the largest number of rjsorters at Sea side in the hitory of the popular beach, Sleeping room is at a premium and the pullman" system of taking eh re 01 roomers U in vogue. Ratel art high and there is a ruh for tents on the part ot numerous families who failed to secure cottage and cannot stand the ex pense of living at the hotels. The tree on vacant lot are being rapidly cleared off aid new buildings are going up as fast as material and labor can be secured. Never has such activ ity been apparent since the foundation of the resort. It is easily leading any point on the Oregon and Washington coaste as a place to spend the summer sdasoa, The growth of the resort Is nearly all on the wet side of the Necanicum and property in this section from the mouth 01 the river to the headlands of Tilla mook Point is sold for over fl.ooo a lot. The beach north of the Moore Hotel, especially is experiencing an ac tivity which will result in its entire s ttloment by cottagers by next season. The entertaining feature of the beach are increasing each week. There are moving pictures, two dancing pavilions, skating rink, shooting galleries, a merry-go-round and a dozen other fea tures along both sides of what is known as the "Shell Road" until it looka like a street carnival. A peanut stand man managed to secure a permit to erect a stand on the board walk near the More Hotel and it looks as if this popular pivmenade is going to be spoiled by more "Mid-way"' appearauces. General Passenger Agent Jenkins of the Astoria A Columbia Kiver IUitruid state that the passenger trafflo on this road is larger than it has ever been since it first ran iuto Seaside. The good service between Portland, Astoria and Seaside is in a great measure re sponsible for this. The through night train, especially, is a big drawing card. One thing that Mr. Jenkin notices particularly is that a cheap rate does not appear to effect the volume to any g'.eat extent. Visitors to the beach do not wait for the special Sunday rates tut travel back and forth at the weekly rates as though there were no special rate made. In giving a reason for this, be said: "The prosperous times being enjoyed by almost everybody has improved con dition to such an extent, that a slight difference in ruilroad iares appears to be no object with the people who visit., the seaside this year. Everybody has plen ty of mouev, it eeeins, and the proper- cus era has enabled a inucii larger crowd to spend a few days, week or month at the beaches than formerly." GREAT GROWTH IN BUILDING AST0RIANS PROCLAIM THEIR CON FIDENCE IN BIG FUTURE FOR CITY BY ERECTING NUMEROUS HANDSOME BUILDING BLOCKS. New buildings erected in Astoria since the first of the year surpass all records m the history of the city according to city officials. The growth of operations in this line has increased steadily each month and the prospect for the future indicate that there will be an increase over the first part of the year. Owing to the fact that building per mit are not taken out in every case where a structure is erected there are no means for ascertaining the actual growth. The city ordinances provide that permits must be secured before work is begun on new buildings, but the law does not appear to be enforced in this respect, according to the city auditor. The tax assessor is about the only person who will be able to find out the number of houses and other buildings erected in the city, but it has been esti mated by those who have watched As toria's growth for many yearn that more buildings have been erected In a given time than ever before. A noticeable feature of the increase In construction is that both the resi dences and business blocks are far su perior to those erected in years gone by. The old shacks which characterized the place for many years are gradually dis appearang and are being replaced by modern structures with all the comforts and beauty that modern architecture provide fof. The business blocks especially are un usufllly fine and would do credit to cities ten times the size of Astoria. Thi fact is significant as to belief in the future greatness of Astoria. The structures are built to rival the big buildings which will be erected in this city when ample railroad and seaport facilities have been provided for the future seaport of the vreti. In order to ascertain tho confidence 1 r felt ny Auoiians In the future greatness of their home town it it only necessary to ak them if they believe that It will be a great city, U would tK a cUe areh of Astoria 'to find any citlnen who ha not a great belief In her future, This is only the beginning of a spirit wmciwiu oo givat things for this sec tion at no ditnt.date.

What One Enjoys, At Otto Sund's pretty and cosy resort "The Commercial," one finds all that the inner man desires in the refreshment line and of the best quality too, To pass a little time in such a neat place and spend it in pleasant conversation with genial friends, probably a little business talk, is, to say the least, en livening. Courteous treatment is an other thing that is appreciated and one receives it from Otto, himself who takes charge during the day and from hit pleasant night manager both of whom dispense the best to be had.
