Secretary If, M. Jrntsen of the
Fishermen' Union, on hi return
from Portland wherehe attended the
meeting of the Fishery Committee of
the Oregon Conservation Commis
sion, said he felt satisfied that at thi
hearing, in spite of the tactic of the
fishwheel owner, more true facts
about the salmon Indmtry had been
presented, facts which gave to the
bill absorbing hMtwheels in the upper
Columbia a majority' of 26,01)0.
, 'Of courie," said Mr. Lorntsen,
"t this hearing were' our friends,
Seufert and Warren, the principal
fishwheel ownrrs. There also was
presented ' Mr. 'CMalley, a federal
employe under the order of Mr.
Bowers, chief of the United State
Bureau of Fisheries. But a Mr.
Bowers, against the evidence of tuch
close observers as Dr. David Starr
Jordan and Judge Thomas A. Mc
Bride, has. gone out of hi way to
protect the rich corporations owning
fishwhccls in the upper Columbia, the
evidence of this 'federal' expert given
in favor of the fishwhecls is 0f little
weight. Then I also wib to call at
tention to the fact that Mr fVMal.
ley's' chief, Commissioner.. Bower.
was last December oecrruled when
Secretary of Commerce and Labor
Straua and President Roosevelt or

closing of three Alaskan river ap-
plies to the closing of the Upper Co
lumbia, that is almon stream roust
be closed where thev become n
narrow that salmon are prevented
from ascending to the hatcherie and
spawning grounds."
Mr. Lorntsen also filed with the
committee a fine statement of the
exact statu of, the industry as it
exist on the Columbia today; and
which. will appear in tomorrow' is

Jacob AhoP the unfortunate " man
who was taken from hit houseboat
Saturday upon suspicion of being de
mented, was ' examined ' by Judge
Trenchard of the county 'court ye8'
tcrday, with the expert assistance of
Dr. Alfred Kinitcy, and adjudged to
be insane. It was ordered that he be
committed to the asylum at Salem.
There is, of course, the possibility
that Alio' affliction may be onfy of
a temporary nature. '
While undergoing examination
yesterday Aho rambled in an inco
herent way. According to the report
made by Dr. Kinney he I afflicted
with hallucinations both of hearing
and sight, and when asked by Judge
Trenchard if he was a Socialist as
some remark had led his interroga
tor to believe he exclaimed with
vehemence- that he is not a Socialist,
but a Republican. As he said this
the perspiration broke from his face
and hi peech became violent. Other
questioning brought out , that hi
clouded mind take fright at all or
ganizations, at Socialism, unions, and
societies generally.
Aho is 48 year of age, a native of
Finland. Hi father lived to be 100
years. There is no taint of insanity
in the family as far as is known, and
nothing could be ascertained to be
the apparent cause of the mental
trouble that has come over Aho.
This is his first attack, it is believed.
Aho'a affliction brings up the old
question of the comparatively nu
merous cases of insanity that have
arisen among some of the foreign
population. These cases apparently
nearly without exception have riot
been brought n by some taint in
the blood, nor by drink, nor other
excesses, nor by worry or other men
tal troubles of like nature.
A usual explanation is that change
in diet affect some of the men. Yet
perhaps even more1 decided changes !
m diet can readily be instanced
throughout the world' when no men
tal trouble followd. Another explan
ation, and one that Judge Trenchard
apparently thinks may have some
thing to do with the matter, lies in
the fact that some of the Finns for
example in their own land lived in
a state of mind that was almost
quiescent Thi of course does not
refer to the more or less educated
one. But the poorer ones lived
perhaps in some small fishing village,
where they were not affected by the
struggles and explosions of theories
and creeds and politics. Here their
untrained minds suddenly take up
Socialism and other doctrines that
only the steadiest of trained minds
can properly handle and digest, and
may be it is this new and excitng
pabulum that has as much or more
to do with the cases of insanity than
the food that is put into their stom
achs. Of course these are merely
conjectures. It is to be hoped that
some alienist will sometime soon
make an exact study of the question.
One of the best aspects of the cases
that have arisen here is that many of
them are merely temporary and soon
respond to treatment at Salem.
WHY Do So Many People Patronize
Wise's Mmste
of Suits, Overcoats, Hats, Shirts, Etc.
Because the price on these
goods is reduced from 20
to 50 per cent.
Because Wise has the lar
gest and best assortment
of men's and boy's goods.
Because when Wise has a
.Sale the reductions on
clothes is genuine.
Because all receive fair,
courteous, honorable
treatment ;
Because you can't 1 o o k
foolish in a Wise suit.

The "Bakeronian"
The old Star theatre is to change
name and management today. Al
Hager retires from the house, and it
passes to the lease-hold of K. L.
Bernard, who will call it the "Baker
onian" from this time forward. The
house will be closed ior several
days in order to make some essen
tial changes and repairs and will
soon open "as a moving-picture and
illustrated song show, until Mr. Ber
nard can bring in his new departure,
in the shape of the singing and talk
ing picture, the most modern of all
such entertainments and the most
fascinating. He will be assisted by
Fred Simonton,' who will manage the
house during Mr. Bernard's absence
on the road as the latter gentleman
has. seven or eight other houses of
the same sort on a circuit of his own
besides representing one of the big
gest pyrotechnic houses on the
coast the Paine Fireworks Company.

Work I Slow e
The work of allaying the sliding
movement of the ground above Scow
Bay is necessarily slow, and the men
employed on the job seemingly have
not made much Of an impression yet
As the dirt is sluiced away from the
face of the moving mass the ground
at the rear has a tendency to move
forward to take its place, and as a
result of this there has been a notice
able, drop of the hillside when view
ed from Irving tvenue. Several of
the little houses at the foot of the
hUl are on the verge of being crushed
to pieces, and are already broken
badly. The worst feature of the
matter seems to be that the move
ment of the ground is slowly extend
ing in a westerly direction, and yes
terday new complaint were made of
breaking and cracking ground. At
the present rate of speed it will take
quite a while before there is an ap
preciable cutting away of the face of
the hillside, and 'of cutting out a
sluice into the heart of the trouble.
On Sunday and yesterday there were
many persons who walked up on Irv
inv anue to look at the much talked
of slide.
Dies At Portland

of the entire work' required is $173,

work be done all at once, and the
Commission requested the clerk, Mr.
Lounsberry, t prepare to advertise
for bids for the "first section," which
would be from the headworks to the
connection with .the 16-inch steel
pipe on the east side of Little Bear
Creek. This covers a distance of
about 13,070 feet " The work of re
constructing the entire line contem
plates the use of concrete, pipe line
for a distance of about 18,000 feet,
and 6000 feet of steel pipe. The pres
ent steel pipes to be used as long as
possible. In a second report Mr.
Kelley stated that an additional sup
ply of water from six creeks can be
secured at Bear Creek by the use of
an extension. The six creeks would
