! 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.

FREE BUS SYSTEM WILL BE : !
CONTINUED BY HOTELS OF CITY
Portland hotels are to continue the
free bus system. . (
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. .

Learning by study of the Blbls that
Jewelry and all articles mads of stiver
and gold are to be despised and de
stroyed, Ernest Evans, a young farmer
who lives, near Troutdale, placed the
stiver spoons, gold cuff buttons and
other articles made of precious metals
that he could find about the house In
a bag and cast them Into the Sandy
river.
This manifestation of piety did not
meet the approval of other members
of the family, who had th young man
arrested on a charge of Insanity. 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. Kegg, who talks breezily.
rapidly and correctly, and describes
himself as a commercial salesman, was
also examined on an insanity charge.
He was picked up by the police for
making a disturbance and threatening
the proprietor of a lodging house. He
is addicted to heavy sprees, as he ad
mits, but says this is all that troubles
mm. He was confined ror three years
In the Salem asylum from 1900. to 1903.
He recently came from California In
search of a Job.

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.

Because his wife in a fit of sneer
tore up their marriage certificate, ss
he charges, George Turner is unable to
say Just when he was married to Bells
Turner, But that has not hindered his
bringing suit for divorce In the elreult
court He remembers that he was mar
ried in the city - Chicago soma tlms
during the 7ear 108. -
Turner alleges that sine coming to
Portland his wife has spent too much
time in the company of other men. He
says that one day last February she
took a soclalble drink with a bartender
In a saloon at Fourth snd Tsylor
streets. He accuses her of drinking
with other men snd with, being gener
ally too gay for his temperament.
Indulgence in strong drink, resulting
in threats snd attempts to kilt her, are
charged by Mrs. Barbara Paukner In a
suit for separation from John Pauk
ner. She says he has many ' times
promised to do better, and she has for
given htm, but he always winds up In a
long spree, on one occasion, shs says,
she was only saved from Injury by
the Interference of one of their sons,
nearly grown.
The Paukners were married la Aus
tria In 1882 and came to ' Oregon In
1866. Elsa Anna Bchnabel Is made a
defendant In the case because she is
trustee for the- defendant In holding
title to two lots In Peninsular addition.
Mrs. Paukner wants $30 per month ali
mony and the custody of their 16-yenr-old
son. Their only other child Is an
other son almost of age.
Similar accusations of cruelty result
ing from free use of liquor are alleged
by Mrs. Bell Pynll In seeking divorce
from a H. Pygall. She asserts that
he once struck her with an ax, and at
another time brandished a revolver
over her head. He knocked her down,
she alleges, because she secured a lock
box at the pnstoffice, and deprived her
of the privilege of opening her mail.
She also accuses Pygall of stealing $15
from her purse, she having worked to
earn the money, and she tells of sev
eral occasions when he became a"ry
