Birdie gives his full name as Birdie E. Meredith, and with a lass named Margaret Cecille Cronln he Jour neyed, so he says, all the way from the : wicked town of 'Frisco to be wedded . among the piny hills and peaceful nooks ; of Waahlngton. ' Birdie walked into the county audi tor's office this morning and asked for a marriage license, his bride-to-be stood on the sidewalk outside and coyly : awaited Birdie. Birdie said he was 21 and that htf had been married, but that his wife had died four years before. Birdie also said he and his bride-elect had journeyed from the noisy town of -'Frisco tJ be wedded by the quiet wa ters of the Columbia. The names were Inscribed on the register and then the ' auditor asked for the witness. By the new state law a third party is required . to swear to the age and responsibility of th contracting parties. Birdie said he knew no one this side of 'Frisco and with tear in his eyes pleaded with tne auditor, to issue the desired license. But law is law and though filled with pity for such Innocent helplessness the official had to refuse,, Birdie left in a , rage, and as he went out of th office he said: "That is a, horrible law,tt will keep Triahy from Teing happy."

Fish Com missioner Van Dusen is coming in for a large amount of vituperation In these parts of 1st. It seems that the last session of the Oregon legislature passed an act appropriating $5,000 for the pur pose of building a fish ladder at Willam ette -Falls In this city. Tho ladder was to bave been built thla summer, and should have been completed ere this. Yet not a stroke of work has been done on the ladder, and so far as completion la concerned it is Just as far off as when the legislature adjourned last winter. Fish Commissioner Q. H. Van Dusen was approached about the matter some weeka ago. He stated that the ladder would certainly be put in before th rainy season, and said that th only reason work bad not begun was that the plana had not been drawn. It Is known that plans bave been drawn, however, and ar in ths hand of the commissioner and have been In his hands for some time. This fact was learned by a num ber of residents of th upper river, who are directly Interested In the matter, and who hold Van Dusen personally re sponsible for the failure of the ladder to be built. It Is hardly probable now that th ladder can be built this season, as beavy rains have already set U on the upper waters of the Willamette, and a considerable rise may ee expected at any time. It 1 necessary for tbe lad der to b buUt during low water. Another Caaxg. Another matter that makes it sppear that Van Dusen has been remiss in his duty Is the fact that while the closed season for salmon fishing began Sep tember 16, parties who were In Astoria on the 18rh saw fish being taken to the cannerlea and marketa that were caught after the closed season began, and they claim that Van Dusen was aware of this open violation of the law. People who live along the upper waters of the Willamette do not get any salmon. Hundreds of fish are dally beating them selves to death against the rocky walls about the falls in their struggle to get up the river and deposit their spawn for the propagation of their race, while $5,000 Ilea idle, tha purcooe ot which waa to enable th fish to get up th river -and stock the stream with food for future generations. City Schools Opes. The Oregon City Schools opened this morning with a very bright outlook for the year. Misa Addle Clark ia city superintendent, and starfds very high among the educators of the state snd city. As city superintendent she will have charge of th high school depart ment of tbe Barclay school. Mrs. L. W. McAdams of Texas is principal or the Bastham school. She waa a teacher In th. city schools here a number of years ago, and gave eminent satisfaction as a teacher. Each one of these ladles ha an efficient corps of teachers under her, and the patrons of th schools confidently expect one of the most suc cessful terms th city has ever en- Joyed. The growing tendency of the times to crowd men oat of the teaching profession is exemplified here, not a single man remaining In charge of any department Suburb School. Th suburban schools about Oregon City will all open today. An excellent corps of teachera will teach the schools this year. The Parkplace school will have H. I McCann for principal. The assistants will be Elizabeth Buck, Sheba Chllda, Katie Wilson and Jennie Casto. At Canemab. Fred J. Melndl is princi pal and Anelta Oleason assistant. At Willamette. Millard Hlatt Is principal and Eltsabath Shipley aaslstant. At the West Side School, W. Gilbert Beatle la principal and Margaret Good fellow. Mar tha Sturchlur and Bessie Grant assis tants. At Bolton, Grace Edwards Is the teacher. Maple Lane has Jennie E. Rowan for a teacher. Mount Pleasant haa Roma Stafford. Oold from Ogl Creek. Frank Welch returned last Saturday from a week's trip to the mines in Ogle creek. He brought out with him speci mens of gold ore which Is Very rich. He states that work is steadily progress ing in the Wall Street mine, that mora than 100 tons of ore has been taken out by the two men engaged in working the mine, and that the prospects continue to grow brighter. He will take samples of his ore to Portland tooay to have It as sayed. Welch reports bears aa being numerous in the Ogle creek country, and reports an exciting experience with one of the beasts, which he killed. Another party of prospectors left this morning for Ogle creek, and expect to remain out there about 10 days. Heavy Bains In Clackamas.

Whoever wins out this time at Olym pla, he will be a railroad man. If he be from Seattle, he will be a part of James J. Hill's political machine. While Mr. Wilson has always been accounted as an attache of the railroad Interests to an extent, he is commpnly believed to come nearer to being Independent of such in fluences than any ether man proposed rrom ims city or irom xacoma.

However, out of th mlx-up the Demo crat may gain substantial advantage and make such profit from tha quarrels of tha Republicans as to win many vie torles In this state. Tho fight between Seattle and Tacoma is to be so bitter that the senator may go elsewhere, and in th event the McBrlde people emulate the example of th Geer people in Oregon last year, a Democrat might be chosen for governor, with the senatorshlp going to some smaller county, but of Republican faith.
