' Birdie walked into the county audi

on the sidewalk outside and coyly

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

(Journal Special ServloO
Oregon City. Sept. 11. 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.

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

reports an exciting experience with one
of the beasts, which he killed.
Another party of prospectors left this

remain out there about 10 days.

Tho fight between Seattle and Tacoma
is to be so bitter that the senator may go

people emulate the example of th Geer

might be chosen for governor, with the

(Journal Special Service.)
Pendleton, Or., Sept. 21. Pendleton
made her first start in the political fight
that is breaking here for December when'
a committee of the business men of the
Aty hgan circulating a petition asking
F, W. Vincent to accept the nomination
for mayor. For a long time the conteat
has been in the wind, but who would b
th Arst man In the field has been the
question that no one seemed able to
aorve. .
Tho administration of Mayor Thomas
G. Halley haa been good and he ha
claimed that he has made every effort to
drive from the town the gambling and
other evil elements. He has closed tba
gambling so far as can be seen without
investigation, but it is claimed by many
that there is more gambling going on at
this time in the city than there haa been
for somek time. Som men claim that
the mayor is too much away from th
city to be able to give it a good admin
istration, and desire a change on . that
ground,
.Vlneent was mayor of the city for
several terms, and gave the place a busi
ness administration and gave personal
and close 'attention to all of th details
of city government. Vincent is not a re
form man, and will not attempt to clos
the games of the city, but will regulate
them if he is elected, - He haa not pub
licly accepted the call of his friends aa
yet, but It is almost a certainty that he
will. He will, so he says, hold the gam
blers down and will fore them to' pay
monthly fines 11 tney wish to run their
games, otherwise they will be driven
out of th cjty. His policy is to regu
late, not . to attempt to ciose the town.
It 1 thought that the wide-open element
will now put up 'a candidate.
