'MEANING OF THE MAYS LAW.
fcltlaens generally are wondering
fust why the Mays law was enacted by
the Legislature. There appears to be
disposition' to ignore its -provisions,
and to minimize the effect of . Its appli-
. Cation to the exUting situation. Yet
there was a time when the most pow
erful lnfluenoe in the Republican poli
tics of the stat urged the adoption of
-" - that very lawj or one of the same im
- Tport. ? ",' ' " -T-" ' "
On January 23, 1901, the Morning
Oregonian commented upon the rec
ommendation of Governor Oeer which
"JavTSsTfeiim
tion of United States Senators by dl
- Met - yotxi-the people. "TfieT govef
. nor's recommendation was that resolu
. tlon go to Congress from-each State
. legislature, and in comment there
' upon the pregonlan said; . .
Resolutions from-manj states, while
' they might not be sufficient to secure a
National f convention jfor . the purpose,
would certainly tend to Increase the num
ber of senators favorable to tha reform.
' Meanwhile, "the biennial senatorial strug
gles In Legislatures throughout the coun
try1 are" supplying tha usual arguments
from experience. . . . Here in Oregon
the-mlsohief of these Impediments to leg
f lalatlon has been enhanced by extended
use of the organization of the Legislature
In the. Interest of senatorial candidates.
, : :;. "Let ..the Legislature paas some
bill or other providing for popular vote
on senators, and the Legislature will
hardly brave public, opinion hardily
enough, to disregard, the mandate.
-i On the 26th of January, 1901, the
Mays bill passed the Senate, later be-
trig adopted by the house, and signed
bj the Governor.- It provides that
candidates for the office of United
. ' States Senator In Oregon should have
k place upon the Official ballot, when
proposed by a given number of peti-
. tlonera; 5 a.nd,t among other provisos,
there U ona for reporting to the Legisr
laturotharndHdarreTOtvIr
. highest number of votes In the regular
general election.
$The Journal sees In the present sit
uation disposition to Ignore the ob-xi
' Irtous meaning 4t the Mays law, and
all because it chances to suit the ambl
tidns of certain men who either desire
themselves or their friends to go to the
Eeinate.

itics of the candidates who are before

President Mellerv Portratnd extends (Jier,yuilil to you- You have dona

But, Mr. Mellen, Portland expects something besides fair service. She
pays for that. The city expects FAIR TREATMENT and la determined to
receive it. . - . - ,
Oregon Is the master of ita destiny and intends to prove to you that
It la. There is no hard feeling over your indiscreet .remarks. Buslnesa men
may express Indignation now, but on sober second thought they .will look
upon you as the one factor which has solidified public opinion in regard to
the Lewis and Clark Exposition, and grven an Impetus to the-enterprise that
could only have been Inspired by the knowledge that om pet itors of. Port
land have, through you, tried to belittle? the .efforts of -our public spirited
citizens. ' -J vs ' ' " ' '
Portland Is not a city. Mr. Mellen, that has been bound over to a raiN
road corporation. Its port Is not dependent upon a market for any Certain
railroad company bonds or securltlea. It la the natural center of Uorth
western trade and is not governed by laws of boomleta or by boomers.
Jast a parting word, Mr. Mellen, do not allow yourself to imagine that
you have injured Portland by Idle words; you have helped it. for you have
placed her on her metal and ahe will show you that what eh undertakes
she will accomplish. This, In spite of her claim that with a independent
class of untled-up commercial "centers she feels free to confess a affinity. "
ter as effectually as though there were
real legal command upon he Legisla
ture to vote for the man receiving the
majority of the regular election bal
lots, i i
r Let It be accepted that such a man
ner of procedure, shall be followed, and
there will be Just as much certainty
that the result will be carried out as
the people desire, aa there is that the
presidential electoral college wlU vote
according to the vote of the people of
their states. Most people forget that
presidential electors could vote for
whom they choose; yet what presi
dential elector would dare to vote
aught but as his people at home voted?
Applied In Oregon, the Mays law has
just the same possibilities as the na
tional electoral college. It aults some
not to permit it to gain that power.
There arr few, if any;sesslon of the
Oregon and Washington Legislatures
that adjourn without ' wrestling with
some kind of fish legislation, or, per
haps a better term, salmon legisla
tion, -;
The law-makers meeting next Jan
uary will have the same subject to
contend with.
Heretofore, It has been a clash over
wheels, traps arid seines ; but this time
tt promises to be free from local inter
ests, that Is, as between Astoria and
the Middle Columbia, and will concen
trate Itself against fall seining.
It Is claimed by some prominent
men engaged. In the salmon industry,
that the fall seining does more to in
jure the business tftan any other. It
Is, indeed, claimed by some that the
fall seining Of the higher bars dest roys
infinitely more pawn than-all- the
hatcheries take care of.
The claim is made by many of those
directly interested, that the salmon
spawn. Just according to their condi
tion; that the fish remain -often out
side the bar . until It is time for them
to deposit their eggs, and that this
condition, alone, compels them : to seek
fresh water; that as the result of this
condition, the spawning grounds of the
salmon are not alone the headwaters
of the streams, but that every sandbar
In the river is the natural hatcheries
for them. They elalm that gill nets do
not interfere with these natural hatch
eries, because they do not touch bot
tom; and that the spring -seining
causes.no injury, because it is done
over bars that at low water are dry.
It is further claimed that the fall sein
ing is done over tha natural spawning
grounds, and that. In consequence, the
lead-lines of the seines destroy a
thousand embryo salmon where they
catch one mature. They claim further
that the only reason the fall seines are
able to make good catches is that the
salmon are seeking . the bars for the
purpose -of -spawning; -and that the f alf
seining is, in fact, but a sweeping of
the natural hatcheries, a cleaning up of
the mature fish already upon their
spawning grounds and depositing their
eggs.
If these conditions are true, then It
is high time that the fall seining be
stopped. Columbia River salmon are
the basis of a great industry, one in
which the whole state Is Interested,
and one which it cannot afford to see
destroyed. It seems reasonable that
the dragging of seines over the spawn
ing grounds should be . prevented, and
this question will be up for the Legis
lators of the whole state to decide.
-. TQ LEAD THE WORLD.
;.-While therofrtMjorti ayaHftble
on which to base an -accurate estimate,
It is conceded by conservative men
who are acquainted with the mining
industries of the state, that Eastern
Oregon Will produce this year between
15,000,000 and $6,000,000 in gold. This
is double the amount the entire state
Is credited with, and the tremendous
increase has been made possible by the
development of the rich fields about
Sumpter and fhe' Greinhorri.
flt -is safe to say that the Increased
facilities in the old, and the opening
of many new mines will nearly, if not
quite, double this output In 1903. And
from present indications this will
again be doubled by 1965.
In other words, Eastern Oregon
aloneTTSIds fair to pTOdWe-a9muctT

years. . t

Throughout the.cast ts satisfactory, and
the performance given.-was indorsed by
an enthusiastic audlence that called and
recalled times without number.
The-conspicuous bit of. acting was that
by Miss Redledge, who was approximately
perfect In her delineation of a sincere,
earnest Salvation Army lassie. Her part,
as provided by the book,, gives delicious
contrast with the surrounding gaiety and
life and action, and at no time does she
mar the author's Idea. Indeed, she Im
proves upon it, adding individual charms
to those written into the lines and busi
ness of the part. Her song, "They never
proceed to follow the light, but a'Ways
follow me," Is something to catchV the
musical ear, and the manner of stnginavit
pleases immensely. . : ... . , t
Mr. Nye's, song, "Of course, you cannat
be like us, but be as like us ss you "are

one of the best features of a very good
production, aa, too, was Miss Rosa's song
and pretty dance In the first act.
