Contrary tr the condition generally In local building circles, apartment house construction is enjoying some what of a boom, due to the tremen dous demand for apartments of all kinds. A Bfirvey of the apartment house situation in Portland from the rental viewpoint" was recently made by the Portland Realty Board and It devel oped the ract that only about 2 per cent of the apartments in Portland are vacant In other words, out of something: like 3600 apartments there were only about 70 unoccupied at this time, while many of the better type of such buildings were filled to overflowing;, and had Ions waiting lists. Costs Advance Rapidly In spite ' of the prevailing- high prices, both of material and labor, quite a. number of dealers and owners are struggling with, the problem of building apartment structures. There is no end of complaint among build ers over the mounting; cost of con structlon. One local capitalist who Is now building two modern .apartment structures, complains that he made hi8 arrangements to finance his building operations on a certain basis for ma terials and labor, and that now that i he has his buildings fairly well up he finds that material of all kinds is still mounting and that some new demand is made upon him by workmen almost every day for more money. On on very large five story struc ture occupying a quarter of a block, carpenters were being paid when the building was commenced $4 per day. Wages were then raised to $5 and the last demand ia for $5.60. .Plasterers were being paid. $6 and they are now getting $7, and all other mechanics' wages have Increased in about the same proportion. Buildings Kented in Advance Building material 'is costing this builder on an average of 8 per cent more than it was when the building was oegun three months ago. But he feels Justified in going through with it because practically . every apart ment lnboth buildings has been rented in advance of the completion of the structures at a rate that will yield a fair return on the Investment . Portland apparently Is becoming as much of an apartment house dwelling city as San Francisco or Seattle, where the people In enormous pum bers have given up entirely the de tached residence. Stock Farm Ig Sold An Important real estate deal was consummated last . week in Portland when the Bonaday stock farm, for merly owned by Frank E. Alley, on Deer creek, and of late occupied by E. R. Hanan and family, was sold by its owner, C E Cunningham, of the Mort gage & Trust company of Portland to a prominent rancher of Sauvie Isl and.

There seemed to be little or no effort on the part of the manage ment of the Auditorium to regulate the huge crowd that fought for an hour to gain, an entrance to the .building. But the feature of the over filling of the building that called forth the most severe censure " was the fact that the people were permit ted to overflow the aisles, occupy every available foot of space on the steps and obstruct the view of those seated by crowding in the open spaces between the seats and the railing. It was. almost a miracle, accord- very serious accident was avoided. Any kind of an alarm, fire or an injured person or any of the other many things that can easily stam pede an audience might have brought on a aisastrous result. A city ordinance makes it illegal to allow the filling up of the aisles and steps of a theatre or other place of public amusement, and it would seem that this ordinance would apply as well to the Auditorium. Better arrangements should by all means be made In the future to have a suf- ficient number of police on hand to nanaio mo ovwuaw urowas inai atiuvow ta w sv hue nuui" torium whenever there is anything scheduled of commanding importance.

Taylor , The Columbia highway is at Its best under any and all weather conditions and with the changing seasons offers new ' attractions to the tourist. This was proved to ray satisfaction when I left in the chill gray dawn of a drizzly rainy morning to see the sal mon run at Eagle Creek, now at its height. Notwithstanding the inclement wea ther, the banks of the creek, and, in fact, all. the streams we passed, were lined with disciples of Isaak Walton, some of whom exhibited wonaertui strings of fish, evidencing their prow ess as anglers. At the mouth of Eagle creek we found five men from the fish hatchery at Bonneville, dressed in picturesque yellow slickers and boots, standing knee-deep in the cold, clear water, catching fish for spawning purposes. They had built a series of pickst fences to keep the fish from going too far upstream, and inside of these fences were other little pens with boards on the bottom. Hatchery Ken Active It was difficult to remain an idte spectator on the bank and watch the men as they proceeded up to the first of these fences, wading through te cold rushing waters, where the fish could, be seen in large numbers darting hither, and thither in a vain attempt to escape the onslaughts of their clubs as they drove the fish down stream into one of the pens and then closed he gates imprisoning them. Here two of the men handled the dip net, each time bringing up from two to four dripping, flopping fish, threshing about in the water until all onlookers re ceived a shower bath. The other work ers separated the fish, into one pen dropping the female ready to spawn. in another those not yet ready wit which are kept -until time to take the spawn from them., and In the third the males. After securing the spawn these fish are ground up and used as food for the fish at the hatchery. Spawning Season On The salmon run ordinarily lasts from a month to six weeks, usually starting about the first of September, though the time of the run varies In different years and is rather uncertain. The fish come from the deep salt water to lay their spawn . upstream, the ova being: deposited In the gravel by the female .who digs Into the sand with a few scoops among the gravel, turn ing it up with each movement and making the water very dirty. The the time, drops to the bottom and is covered us with each stroke. roe male follows closely behind the female. covering the ova with milt, and, if danger approaches while she is at work, he attacks and drives it away, It requires from three to four days to deposit the spawn, and they are most active from sundown until mid- ntcht Th fmRift. rlurinar the sDawn-1 lngf season, becomes unshapely and!

The Some of the stronger fish leaped two salmon are very prolific, from 3000 to r three feet over the rapids.

Again and again the same fish of the salmon we saw at Eagle creek made the circle and each time their were covered with large white spots, efforts were fruitless. parasites were -attached to their gills, X,ure of Fishing Apparent ' . ' and life was. almost extinct. These made but very little resistance when the net .was raised, f loping feebly; but others,-a nice pink showing through their speckled sides, threshed the waters into a white foam In thir irantic eriorts t.o escape. awaIg mmqjaimm u ttwj The spawn hatches Jn from 50 to 60 days, though at times it takes longer, depending upon the temperature of the water. Upon emerging from the eggs the young soon manifest signs of life and wriggle energetically through the gravel to reach the sur- face. At this stage they are called "alevins" and have attached, behind the gill opening, a large bag, the yolk or umbilical sac, containing nutriment enough to last them several days. Be fore this is consumed they begin to work upstream in .search of natural food, in a short time, having as sumed true fish shape, they form in shoals and are known as "fry." By autumn, when cold weather sets in, the fish now called parr and being from two to three inches long, leave the shallow .water and go into winter quarters under rocks and stones, where they remain until spring, very iitie to about March or ApriL During this time they become black and fall off in weight, and, when disturbed from under their rocks, move sluggishly and are apparently ln a dazed or sleepy condition. ' As the season advances, however. they become lively, frequent shallow water, and by autumn they are double rhe size they were the previous autumn. At this stage ln their devel- opment they become very beautiful, Along their silvery sides are nine bars wlth black and red spots, and the tail fin becomes much rounder than before.
