According to Master Fish Warden McAllister, who returned , from a trip ' down the river today, the prospects are " bright at this time for jl better run of salmon In the Columbia., "The run has been kept back." he stated to The,Jour ral this morning, "by the unseasonable cold weather. Now that warmer weather Is shown It Is quite likely thai the run will Irrfprove. "We are securing plenty of eggs for ' hatching purposes, the take at Casadero ! already reaching about 800,000 steel I head eggs. . This amount has been raua-ht durlnr the caat SO days, enow . lng that the fish are getting Into the pawning ground better. I believe that ' we will lie able to take 180.000 or per haps 200,000 more steelhead eggs be fore the time for chinooks t comes around." -Mr. McAllister left today at noon for the Rogue river, where n goes to in spect the hatchery or K. JJ. Hum. Talk of Jfew Salmon Un There la muoh talk among salmon-men t this time regarding the newly passed salmon laws. Some Astoria Interests till claim that the law does not affect them because their bill received the most votes and that the other law which operates against their Interests con flicts and in therefore null and void. Thev claim thev have received legal ad vice regarding this and will ignore the law until tne courts nave oecinea tney cannot fish. On the other hand the uDDer river men srv they will not go out of business and allow the lower river people to continue operations. JSach side Is therefore talking of taking their cases to court. In the meantime it is likely that the master fish warden will enforce both measures. . yotato Market Zs rirmer. There is a much firmer tone in the local potato market and the trade is now paying on a Das is oi bu ana bs can la iirr fuv iatuiiud. &. u. u i vi unnu. According to potato interests there are now but about 60 ears of potatoes In all hands in western Oregon, most of these being' held by dealers. Because of the firmness of local conditions it ta stated that fully a doxen cars of eastern Oregon stock are rolling in this . direction and 1 more will follow If the market continues right. The eastern Oregon stock Is being offered on a basis of 70 and 76 cents f. o. b. Portland. Tirst JTew Oregon potatoes. The first new potatoes from this state were put on display along. Front street this morning by Dryer. Bollara A Co. The stocks were of the Early Hose variety and were In fine condi tion in fact better tnan tnose from California. The stocks were grown in one of the suburbs of the city and mors, small shipments are due to arrive dur- t . Y. .. HAW 1A Ma... T f I. 1 1 Vnl - however, that regular shipments of local stocks will begin before the middle of July and between that time and tnis the demand for old uregons win con tlnue unabated. Banana Famine Xa Won. The tie-up of the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern railroads by . storms and floods have caused a con tinuance of the famine In bananas all over the Pacific northwest. A large number of cars are stauea in tne riooaed districts and messengers have wired to receivers here as to what course they shall pursue sell the fruit or hold it in an effort to rush It through at the first sign -ot- traffic resumption. The tie-up will force the local trade to lose considerable money. Brief Votes of the Trade. Heavier receipts of cantaloupes have .cut down the price. Tomato receipts are heavier and price Large hogs are finding little call but mall and medium will. Dresiied veal, If in fine shape, are in aemana. Chicken market is lust steadv. ; - Creamery butter 1b holding steady to firm. Strawberry market Is lower; larger lslrlv&l8 Eggs are quoted easier because - of Heavier arrival.

( For months, or rather for. years, at regular Intervals, Portland hotel man agers and proprietors have been taking up and discussing the . proposition of forming a sort of organisation -and ar ranging to charge 25 cents for trans ferring guests to and from the railroad passenger stations. The Hotel Portland Is the only one In the city which does- not operate a free 'bus line. The Portland runs a line of 'buses but 25 cents is chsrged for the ride each way. ; Every time the hotel men would get together to talk free "bus. or rather about a charge 'bus, there were always stumbling blocks In the way. Some times these blocks were in the shape of strong advocates to continue the sys tem as it is now running. And so tnose who wanted to charge for the rides were always up against It. For a time about six weeks ego it seemed that the free ride system would surely be abolished. Then new hotels began to open and then one thing and then another appeared on the horlson until the question of charging remained only In the minds of a few. So. until the next time the hotel man agers take ud the Question. Portland hotel guests will get their free rides to the hotel from the passenger station and to the passenger station from the hotel If they are there in time to catch the bus. .

He was pronounced Insane by Dr. Joaephl this morning and will be sent to the asylum at Salem. Evans has been made supremely happy by his religion, and spends much of the time In his cell in singing hymns. "There Is Sunshine In My; Soul" is his favorite. Nicholas E.

J . Portland Gas Co. i BREWERS MUST PAT CITY SI ,200 Weinhard Establishment, However, Is Held a Manu factory, Not Wholesale. At a meeting of the liquor license committee of the city council yester day afternoon the members recommend ed for passage the' ordinance defining manufacturers. This measure was passed to protect Welr.hard's brewery from paying a wholesaler's license which would put the brewery out of business, because of Its proximity to the Atkinson school. The license for manufacturers was placed at 1400 a year. , The point on which the brewery es caped being defined as a wholesaler was a technical one. According to court decisions a wholesaler Is one who acts as an agent for the brewers and a manufacturer is one who makes the ?roduct and sells it direct without es abllshing an agent within the city where the liquor is brewed. Inasmuch ss Welnhara's brewery manufactures oeer in tne city ana sens it direct irom its Drewery. it is denned as a manufacturer and not aa a wholesaler. although It sells' In wholesale quanti ties. Heretofore the breweries have escaped paying a city llcjuor license and the law was framed for their especial bene fit, inasmucn as there are three brew eries In Portland the city will have an added revenue of $1,200 a year from tnis source.
