MBC7i Wnmbsr Kednoed.
Vancouver, Wash., May 19. Mate
rial Is on hand for the construction of
313 new buildings in the Vancouver
barracks.
The original order called for 184
'buildings, but as a telegram received
Friday ordering the Third Oregon
bark to Clackamas-, and as part of the
new buildings; were Intended for their
accommodation, the full number called
for In the original order will not be
necessary. It was pointed out,
though,, that as new emergencies make
permanent plans Jin regard to the ex
act number of troops that may be sta
tioned at any one place for any given
length of Ume an impossibility. It
n'tty Hi ill be necessary to construct
the entire 184 houses.
These houses have been referred to
as temporary quarters, and while they
are to be constructed out of ordinary
fir lumber, they will withstand any
weather we are likely to have In this
part of the country.
The houses are to be 50 by 120 feet
In sise and one story in height. They
will extend 'from Thirteenth street to
Twenty-fifth street, and east from
West Reserve street 1200 feet. This
part of the garrison was cleared of
brush and slumps a little over a year
ago" by Eager '& Black, local con
tracicrs, and only the most ornamental
trees were left, giving the place a very
picturesque appearance.
It seems certain that 9000 soldiers
will be under training here in a short
time.
The contract for the new buildings
was let to the Grant-Smith company
of Seattle by the quartermaster gen
eral at Washington, and the construc
tion price has not ben made public.
Fountain Is Saved.
Vancouver, "Wash., May 1. The
large drinking fountain, installed n
the Vancouver approach to the Inter
state bridge by the Daughters of the
American Revolution, and which col
lapsed when the fill was partially
washed out earlier in the week, has
been recovered. John Rausch with his
team' and stump puller did the work.
The stump puller was anchored to a
nearby guy post used in supporting
the trolley wire, pulleys were fastened
to other poles, and the fountain, 'n
seven pieces, was dragged to the side
walk, one. piece at a 'time. In all the
fountain weighs more than five tons.
The damage to it has not yet been as

Oregon City, May, 19. According to
O. R. Hartwig of Portland, president
of the Oregon State Federation of La
bor, who has been spending a few days
in Oregon City interesting the local
mill workers in : organizing, no less
than 600 persons have already signed
up for membership in the several
u nitons to be chartered. The larger
nuihber comes from the paper, mills,
but the woolen mill employes, which
comprises women in the greater part,
are taking considerable Interest.
Speaking of the proposed new or
ganizations and previous attempt
made to unionize the mill worker),
Mr. Hartwig says that the chief rea
son no union has been able to liye was
that the efforts were of a local nature,
without the aid and experience of the
state and international organisations.
Mr. Hartwig says that no apparent
opposition has manifested itself on the
pert of the mill owners, and he did
not anticipate any.
Another meeting of the paper
makers is to be hold Monday night
in Willamette hall, at which time
another opportunity will be given to
enrptloyes to enroll for membership,
and after that separate meetings are
to be held for the several organiza
tions planned, such as paper makers,
sulphite and pulp workers and textile
workers.
Through the efforts of Mr. Hartwig
during the past week, the . painters of
Oregon City will receive their charter
this week, starting with a member
ship of 18.
The .carpenters are also organizing.
The only unionized trade in Oregon
City up to this time has been the bar
ters, which have been affiliated with
Portland.

Organised labor as a rule is opposed
to bonds; but the Central Labor council
favors the proposed $3,000,000 freight
and grain terminal bond issue because
of faith that it will prove a profitable
investment for Portland and a means
of saving the grain terminal business.
Bald Charles P. Howard, president of
the Central Labor council. Saturday.
The Central Labor council also sup
ports the proposed state ship subsidy
amendment as a measure related to
the highest economic Interests of the
city, aaid Mr. Howard, 'whose state
ment follows:
"With regard to the first of the
state ballot measures (ship subsidy),
our position is this: It Is an amend
ment which. If carried, would permit
of limited taxation for the purpose of
allowing ports to raise funds by vote
of the' people, to enter into transporta
tion or public carrer service, a field
which has been heretofore reserved as
a special privilege to individuals or
private corporations.
Keasons for Indorsement.
"Organized labor takes the position
at all times that the people have a
right to have what they want, without
being confined to narrow limits by
constitutional provisions. The people
ultimately pay, and even though mis
takes are made in expression of the
popular will, the people have the right
to make their own1 mistakes inasmuch
as they must pay, no matter whose
mistake It Is. And mistakes will al
ways be made so long as governments
and private corporations are under hu
man guidance.
"This perhaps explains briefly the
fundamental reason for the Indorse
ment of this amendment by tne Cen
tral Labor council and the recom
mendation to the people that they
favor its passage.
"The second measure of the port de
velopment plan is a bonding measure;
bonds to provide for the construction
of elevators for bulk and sack han
dling of grain and open docks In con
Junction therewith to facilitate han
dling of heavy shipping.
Immediate Action XTecessary.
"As a principle or general rule, or-
i ganized labor is opposed to bonds.
Sometimes for the best interests of
all the people it is necessary to break
general rules. When it can be shown
that bonds are to bring definite ben
efits to the city or state, and such
benefits accruing are to overbalance
the Increased cost with which the
bonding system burdens all Improve
ments, then and only then will or
ganized labor be found favoring the
issuance of bonds.
"In considering the proposal to issue
bonds for elevator and dock construc
tion, several conditions strongly indi
cated the necessity that this work be
done in the near future to save to
the city what grain shipping has been
left to it through the generosity of
competing ports on Puget sound.
"The first, of these reasons was that
Investigations indicate that wheat
growers in competitive territory are
definitely committed to- the bulk han
dling plan of shipping grain. This
competitive territory produces 65 per
cent of the crop of the great wheat
growirig: country in the Inland empire.
where transportation rates are equal
to Portland and Puget sound.
Portland Mast Wake Up.
"Second was the fact that facilities
for bulk handling have already been
established in ports with which Port
land must compete for grain exporta
tion. That the initial units of these
bulk handlirtg facilities were being en
larged to double capacity seemed to
indicate confidence that bulk handling
had come to stay, and also that the
venture had proven satisfactory and
established the value of the under
taking. "Further, it ia realized that If Port
land Is to be awakened from the state
of lethargy into which she has fallen
in the matter of shipping, a start must
be made which will bring practical re
sults in the way of putting hereon a
par with Puget sound ports.
"The first requisite in city building
is facilities for industrial and com
mercial development. The facilities
must be provided before this result
can be attained. Although Portland
has many natural advantages, these
are not sufficient in themselves to
maintain' her against competitors who
provide facilities.
Workers to Bo Thsir Part.
The second requisite in city build
ing is a large body of well paid work
ers to furnish man power for indus
tries and, by supplying their economic
necessities, provide arteries to carry
the life blood home commerce. Re
gardless of statements to the contrary
by 4 detractors, organised labor is
broad enough to recognize this need
and lend aid to obtain the desired re
sult by supporting, earnestly and
unitedly, anything that is good for the
whole people of Portland.
'These are the basic reasons for or
ganised labor's support of the bond
issue ! for elevator and dock develop
ment.! If Portland business interests
will assist in furnishing facilities for
industrial and commercial develop
ment, the workers will be ready to
perform their part. And it will be the
function of labor to guarantee wages
and working conditions which will
makel for true prosperlty-r and develop
ment' of the city.
'"Thus will Portland attain' to the
dignity of greatness, to which she is
entitle by nature's .endowments, as
an important commercial and indus
trial cetrter. But it must not be for
gotten that the true function of com
merce and industry is to be brother
servant to mankind, and not become
the master."

SALMON
HSHERMEN
COLUMBIA
RIVER
AGAIN ARE ACTIVE
Spring Season Finds Fleet of
Motorboats Making Daily
Forays for Fish,
By Fred tockley.
The spring salmon season Is on.
Fleets of fishermen sally forth daily
from Astoria in their little motorboats
braving the ocean swells at the mouth
of the Columbia in seeking their har
vest of fish.
One of the picturesque eights a few
years ago was to see the salmon fleet
coming in from the fishing grounds.
Then one could go down to the water
front at Astoria at sunset and, looking
seaward, see hundreds of salmon boats
racing before the freshening sea breeze
to their home port. The curling water
at their prow looked like liquid silv.-,
while their sails, gleaming in the
evening sunlight, looked like hand
forged sliver shields. You may look
seaward from Astoria's wharves to
day and see the home-coming fishing
fleet, but not a sail is to be seen. The
less picturesque but more reliable
gasoline engine has supplanted tha
former method.'
Sprint Bun on tne Columbia.
The reason why the Columbia river
salmon is so far superior to the sal
mon of many other regions Is that the
spring run of salmon on' the Columbia
is larger in proportion than the sum
mer or fall run.' The reason is that
the salmon, when three years old.
come frorn the ocean toward the
mouths of he rivers. When they feel
the cold water of the river they head
inward and follow the colder iceborn.
snow-formed water to the mouth of
the river. Reaching the mouth of the
river they work their way upstream to
the smaller tributaries to spawn. The
great volume of the Columbia river
runs compared with the other coastal
rivers means that its Influence is felt
further out from shore than is the
case with the smaller riversJ
At this season the fish are! fat and
firm. From spring until spawning
time the salmon's one purpose is to
fulfil their life's mission and reach
shallow water to spawn. ' The unend
ing straggle to work upstream occu
pies all their energy, and they cease
to eat, the ' stomach and intestine
shrivelling up to the size o one's
finger. ,
Comparatively few of the salmon
that enter the Columbia in the spring
and escape the nets and flshwheels
and Indian spears and farmers' pitch
forks, return to the ocean. They are
shrunken and wasted, bruised and
torn, and after depositing their eggs
in some shallow mountain 'stream,
often hundreds of miles Inland, thiv
stay by their eggs to .keep the vora
cious trout away and then die...
Occasionally a fall run salmon de
positing her eggs in some coastju
stream not far distant from the mouth
of the Columbia, floats inertly back, to
the -ocean, rand returns three years
later weighing CO or 70 pounds.
;--;::vi-.' A. IKOot rotaV "" - 1
Whether the -salmon -passes the
I homing instinct and return to - the
stream where they were born, is a
moot question. Some authorities claim
that a salmon liberated at the Bonne
ville hatchery will, for instance, wh-n
three years of age, return to the 'Col
umbia river, but others say that if
this same salmon comes within the In
fluence of the cold waters of the
Rogue or the Yaquina or the Fraser or
any other river, it will enter any of
these streams. Today salmon are being
canned in far off Siberia, in Japan, in
British Columbia, along the southeast
coast of Alaska, on Puget Sound, as
well as on five bays on the coast of
Washington, two on the California
coast, 10 on the coast of Oregon, and
last and most important of. all, on the
Columbia river.
B. D. Hume, "Pioneer Packer.
You can not talk with any old time
packer very long without having him
refer to R. D. Hume, the lmrd-headerf,
hard-hitting Scotchman, who was the
father of the salmon-canning industry.
The first salmon ever canned were put
up In the spring of 1S64 at the little
town of Washington, in Yolo county.
Cal., on the Sacramento river. Just op-'
posite what is now the foot of K
street in Sacramento. The first flr.-n
that ever put its name ort a salmon
label was the firm of Hapgood, Hume
& Co. The firm consisted of Andrew
S. Hapgood, George W. Hume, William
Hume and R. D. Hume.
They were pioneers in a mighty in
dustry, and though they almost gave
up In despair, yet the quality that
makes a Scotchman stick, was their
in large measure, and they saw It
through. Their total pack that finrt
year, 1864, amounted to but 2000 cases.
As a matter of history they put up
over 4000 cases, but approximately
half of their product spoiled, as they
had no method of determining whether
a can was airtlglt and the odor soon
proved that a large pvt of their pro
duct was leaky. They smelled out and
threw away the bad ones, and then at
tempted to market the good ones.
Paltn Is Justified.
Canned salmon was about as popular
in those days as canned elephant, for
neither of them up to that time had
ever been canned, : and the dealers
looked upon canned salmon as a Joke.
Finally the firm decided to sell out
their plant and product to any one
who would pay a few hundred dollars.
They could find men who were simple
and men who had, money, but they
couldn't find anyone who possessed
both qualifications, and so they were
unable to sell. At last a merchant In
San Francisco advanced the shipping
charges from Sacramento to San Fran
cisco and took the canned salmon on
consignment. He wantffo justify his
Judgment" in advsjct-tb shipping
charges, so he found aTnarket for the
canned salmon, and the faith and en
thusiasm of the founders of the in
dustry was Justified.
At the Columbia's Mouth.
In the winter of 1866 the Hume
brothers came up to the Columbia
river and erected a cannery at Eag'.e
Cliff on the Washington side of the
Columbia river. By the spring of 1867
they had the building ready and thj
cans and nets made. During the spring
run in 1867 they put up 4000 cases of
48 cans each.
One of the worth-while sights for an
eastern tourist is to visit some one of
the numerous and thoroughly up-to-date
salmon canneries at Astoria.
Five grades of can n ed salmon are
recognized by the trade. Finest of all
is tbe.'fancy grade." This consists of
the spring run of salmon taken when
they are fat and in prime condition.
The fancy grade embraces the sprins
run caught In the ! Columbia, Rogue.
Klamath and Sacramento rivers, and
vths Bockeye, caught In Puget Sound

Quinault Indian reservation, in Wash
ington. The output of this grade during the
1916 season amounted to 775,000 cases,
which with the carry over from the
preceding season, made a total stock
on hand January 1, 1917, of 925,000
cases. .
Eighty-six Alaskan Canneries.
The first cannery established m
Alaska was erected in south eastern
Alaska in 1878. Today there are 86
canneries in Alaska and "Alaska Red"
is one of the brands eagerly sought by
dealers and consumers alike. Alaska
Red is regarded as the standard pack,
as it is always firm, sweet sjid bright
red in color. The outpxjt of the Alaska
canneries during 1916 broke all pre
vious records.
The "medium red'' is. the next grade,
and it consists of the Cohoe of Alaska,
British Columbia and Puget Sound anl
the Silverside, packed on the Oregon
and Washington coast and on the Col
umbia river.
The next grade Is the "pink," con
sisting of the Humpback salmon. This
grade has been exported largely to
Central and South America, to Africa
and to the south peas and to the Is
lands of the Pacific. Great Brltajn
and Australia are now becoming cus
tomers, and the price has risen from
50 cents a dozen in 1904 to about $1.60
per dozen.
Britain X,arge Customer
Great Britain for many years turndJ
up its nose at American salmon. Tne
dealers would have none of It, but last
year Great Britain bought our canned
salmon to the amount of $2,795,543.
The canneries this season are pay
ing 4he unprecedented price of 10 cents
per pound for salmon at Astoria.
Tin plate last year was quoted at $4
per box, which meant that the cans
cost about $14.82 per thousand. The
price of tin plate has doubled and the
price for cans is now around $25 per
thousand. Including the increased
cost of labels, nails, twine and tin the
increase cost of production amounts to
about 12 and a half cents per dozen
cans or an Increase of about 50 cenls
per case.
The Salmon Pamlly. '
The life story of the salmon is an
Intensely Interesting one. The salmon
family, or to give it its official tltlj.
the Salmonldae stands well at tn
bead of the list of food fishes. I
talked with Dr. David Starr Jordan
recently about the salmon, and them
are few men who know more about the
habits and traits of fish than Dr.
Jordan. Although there are nearly loo
varieties of the salmon family, h
says, there are but five species in
the waters of the North Pacific.
These are embraced under the title of
Oncorhynchus. '
First in importance of these five
groups come the Quinnat, sometimes
called the king salmon, but known on
the Columbia river as the Chinook
salmon. Next comes the blue back,
sometimes termed the redfish, next
the silver, salmon, which we know by
the term of silverside. then the dag
salmon, and lastly the humpback.
