Slevin. ive or tliese colonies will be established on land purchased by Mr. Slevin during the past week, and the sixth will b on land set apart for the purpose by cltlrens of th"e Coos Bay country, who have become enthusiastic fol lowers of the o.evin Idea. The five colonies to be established under Mr. Slevlns direction will be on a 1250 acre tract two and a half miles south of Klamath Fail3 and on some 1S00 acres of prime bottom and beach land on the Coos river. Three hundred Belgians will be located on the first tract and some tOO will be brought to the second tract, where they will practice diver sified farming and dairying. Mr EJevln closed the deal for the Coon river land Monday, after having been In the Coos Bay country for the past week making negotiations Cooe Bay Tola Aid When Mr. Slevin announced his plans Saturday at a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce and business Irten at Marnhfleld. his humanitarian Ideas and plan for the development of Oregon were received with great en thusiasm. Not satisfied with merely applauding and thanking him. the busi ness men assembled In meeting Imme diately decided to cooperate with him in the moat active manner possible. A vote was taken, and a committee of thre appointed to receive subscrip tions for an additional colony In that ectlon of 300 Belgians. L. J. Simp son insisted on making a gift of 12S0 acres of excellent bottom land, under cultivation ami with Improvements, sit uated on the Cooe river. Charles Hall. president of the Coos & Curry phone company, also of Marshfleld's banks, led the sub crlption with a substantial money ffer. 43 Hoai.i Offered Al Powers of the Powers Lumber company, for whom the city of Pow ers Is named, followed Mr. Hall with an offer to build from his own funds It houses suitable for the prospective ettlera. Richard M. Jennings, presi dent of the Henryvllle coal mines, raised Mr Powers' offer by agreeing to build 22 houses. Offer of land on ridiculously low terms and additional subscriptions of money came In no fast that the entire matter was taken care of In leos than an hour. Mr. Slevin expressed his thanks on behalf of the Belgians, but refused to receive all these offers as a gift, saying he preferred an arrange ment whereby the Belgians would b able to pay everything back on easy terms, so that they could enter the community and develop there without too great a feeling of obligation. This plan was accepted and things were ar ranged accordingly. Cooe People landed "During my life and a long and varied career I have been In over 1100 towna and cities In m v own peculiar Accusation.

(illlnetters In the lower part of the i river also took great catches, but the greut hauls were confined mainly to the district below Astoria While big catches were being made In the lower part of the Columbia, fishermen in the upper part of the river in front of Astoria didn't have more than ordinary luck. . Pish Just Coming la The fact that the catches were con fined to the lower end of the river indicate that the fish are Just coming In. The fish being caught are those which generally come Into the river the latter part of June and July. They are of excellent quality. Sunday is a closed season and fish ing therefore did not begin until 6 o'clock Sunday night, when 'the big run was discovered. By midnight fish ermen began running their boats to the canneries, unloading their catches. One scow depot of the Union Fisher men a Cooperative Packing company's cannery had 2S tons of fish when the first call was made Monday morning. One gillnetter caught a little over three tons of salmon, while another caught 5000 pounds. 10 Cents a Pound Paid Canneries are paying 10 cents a pound for fish this year, so a three ton catch means 1600. To avoid choking any one cannery, the fishermen are distributing their catches and the canneries and cold storage plants are working to their full capacity and are rapidly gaining on making up the shortage of the pack which threatened to make this sea son poor. There are 11 more days in the spring season.
