The following letter was sent to Mas
ter Fish Warden H. G. Van Dusen, being
reply from the Department of Com
merce and Labor to Senator Clias. V.
Fulton, upon a matter which it is be
lieved to be of public interest:
Department of Commerce and Labor
Bureau of Fisheries, Washington.
. 1 December 30, 1907.
. "Bon. C. W. Fulton, U S. Senate,
"Washington, D C.
"Sir: Your letter of the 17th instant,
enclosing a letter from Mr. H. G. Van
Dusen, the Master Fish Warden of the
State of Oregon, requesting an investi
gation of the natural history of the
Columbia River salmon is acknowledged.
"Both these letters have received the
careful consideration of this office. The
issue raised is one which has the keenest
nterest to the Bureau of Fisheries,
which has long felt that just such a
study as the Board of Fish Commission
en of Oregon has in mind should be
Biade. Two seasons, in fact, have been
'Jevoted by a small force from the
Bureau to such work in the headwaters
f Salmon River and at the Payette
lakes in Idaho. This work was very
fruitful in results, and led to recom
mendations based upon the observations
Bade. Even these recommendations,
though not belonging to an exhaustive
inquiry, would, it is believed, have been
f use to Washington, Oregon and
Idaho, but these states have not been
hie, it appears, to take cognizance of
them in their management of the salmon
fisheries. ,
"The letter of Mr. Van Dusen cites
with biological methods should be given
to the work for a pediod of 3 to ft years.
The Bureau would be glad to inaugurate
immediately a salmon inquiry concen
t rated on the Columbia River basin, and
hopes that its personnel and appropria
tions may be adequate to this and to
others of similar character and Import
ance. At present, however, the constant'
ly-increasing demands from many and
widely separated sections 0) the country,
coincident with its rapidly development,
tend to make the Bureau rather less.
instead of more, able to cope with pro'
jects of the size of the one proposed
The fact that this Bureau is concerned
with the conservation of a great com
mercial food staple of enormous and in
creasing importance, would seem to
argue a development of its biological
work somewhat analogous to that of
government bureaus administering other
great resources, such as forestry and
certain phases of agriculture.
"Respectfully,
"GEORGE M. BOWERS,
"Commissioner."
REMARKABLE DEVELOPMENT.
Believes he Can Core Deaf, Dumb and
Blind and Put End to Imbecility.
NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-Speechless for
16 years, Gustave Laut has in 10 months
learned to talk fluently. During the
same period he had developed from an
abnormal, undeveloped, almost imbecile
boy, into an alert, active, ambitious per-'
son; he has grown four inches in height
permanent teeth have come to him
against all the beliefs of the mental pro
fession, and he now gives promise of
becomiiig a healthy, normal man. His
development is the result of experiments
by Proiessor Charles Morris Campbell,
of Albany, N. Y an instructor of
music, who treated the boy according
to theories of his owntheories which
he believes will cure the deaf and even
the blind as well as the dumb and put
an end to imbecility.
"I simply say don't try to force upon
abnormal person, a normal education,
any more than you force an abnormal
education upon, a normal human being,
says Professor Campbell. "Instead of
seeking to choke down the throats of
the former stereotyped instruction that
may really be doing serious harm to bis
stunted faculties, give your attention to
educating those abnormalities and effect
ing a cure. . '
"In this way an abnormal person may
be brought to the condition where he
can become an active, useful, agent in
life and not be forced to bear a mill
stone about his neck. And the way
to that cure lies in proper exercise, most
carefully directed, which will equalize
the distribution of nerve force through
out the body, thus bringing about co
ordination of the muscular and nervous
systems of the body."
"When the boy first came to his notice
Prof. Campbell said all of his habits
were infantile and he was abnormal in
every way. His body was undeveloped

PRIMARY CONTROVERSY.
OOLUilBUS, Jan. 14. Atfer the hear
ing which consumed the greater part of
the day Secretary of State Thompson
announced he would defer his ruling in
the presidential primary controversy at
Cleveland until January 20. All efforts
at a compromise today were fruitless.
While Thompson decline to say positive
ly whether he will pass the matter up
to the state committee, the opnion is
general that this will be done.
Seven-Year-Old Fire Hose Breaks "Under
.
Normal Pressure.
NEW YORK, Jan. H.-As a result of
Friday's fire in which the Parker build
ing was practically destroyed and four
men lost their lives, the Merchants' As
sociation has asked Mayor Met'lcllan to
order an investigation of the hose used
by the fire department and the methods
used to test it. An unusually large
amount of hose burnt under the, high
pressure put on it during the fire when
attempts were being made to force
water well up into the tall building.
What amounts to almost a scandal has
developed in the matter. It is said that
more than 7 per cent of the length of
hose put into use at the fine burst. The
association, quoting a report, recently
made by a committee of the Underwrit
era' Association says that the ordinary
tests for hose, which is purchased under
specifications which call for hose' to
withstand a pressure of 300 pounds, un
der a four-year guarantee, have not been
made of late years. It is aIo stated
that a very large percentage of the hose
now in use by the department is more
than seven years old. ; '
