' Estimating that 24,242,500 pounds of
fish was cured at the canneries and cold
storage plants, at the ruling price of
lhi cents a pound, the sum of $2,706,
280 has been paid the glllnetters. trail
ers; seiners, purselners and trappers for
their catches during the season. This
does- not' include the sum expended for
handling the fish in the canneries or
.transporting the catch to the plants.
FIRST TWO WEEKS GOOD
The first two weeks at he opening
of the season last May proved to be the
best and this is what saved the day.
"As the great proportion of these fish
went into cans the canned pack of first
i class Chlnooks Is well up to that of a
ear ago. From the time of the first
run up until August 5, the fishing was
slack.; Since August 5, the run has been
steady.
While. the ruling price for raw salmon
was 11 hi cents a pound, the same as pre
vailed last year, at least one packer
openly paid 13 cents, and independent
buyers, are said .to have raised the figure
during the latter part of the season to
15 cents a pound. For that reason the
amount of money paid the fishermen is
probably the largest in the history of the
Industry on the river. The same can
also be- said of the canned product, the
higher grade selling at over $13 a case
with the demand far in excess of the
supply. The market for the lower grades
is not brisk, but with the almost total
. failure of the season in the north, a
ready sale for all grades and at ad
i vanced prices is confidently expected' so
soon as the market adjusts Itself.

Typical riders and mounts at the Pendleton Round-Up, which opens Sep

Pendleton, Aug. 23. It will be more
than an even chance that, when you pick
a favorite in the riding or some other
of the big events at tne Round-Up, Sep

CLEVER OREGON BOYS
AND GIRLS TO JUDGE
STOCK AT FALL SHOW
Contest Is AwalUning Ambitious
Youngsters to Brush Up on
Stock judging Technique.
Upward of 5000 boys and girls in
Oregon, all members of pig clubs, sheep
clubs, calf clubs of goat clubs, are
grooming up their pets and brushing up
on their own stock judging technique for
a series of state-wide elimination con
tests to1 be conducted by State leader
H. C Seymour ot the Oregon Agricul
tural college. !They are preparing to
single out the finest of the animals for
entry at the Pacific International Live
stock show at Portland In November,
and select the cleverest . boys and girls
for stock judging teams from each dis
trict to compete for premiums, medals
and ribbons.
More than $200 in cash premiums and
a big array of trophies and medals are
to be awarded in the boys and girls
clubs division at the Pacific Interna
tional, and the youngsters may also
enter their animals in competition with
the entries of adult stockmen ''and
breeders for other premiums. An added
stimulus to-the ambitions of the young
sters Is the prospect of carrying off
honors In a Junior stock' judging con
test to be conducted . in connection with
that of the older student judges from
the various colleges of the Northwest
Each county will send a team of two
Juvenile stock Judges for this contest,
and these teams win compete with each
other for honors at Portland. General
Manager. O. M. Plummer is planning for
camp accommodations on the stock
show grounds ' for these boys, and to
have the experienced stockmen and
breeders who will be at the stock show
act as "big brothers' to the youngsters,

because of their pressing engagements
on the other side of the big pond, but
they are home now or are coming and
all who can have signified their inten
tion to be on hand and make a try
for the championships this year.
The making of world champions at
the Round-Up is recognized as the big
thing in the cowboy worJd, and no cow

ing them get the best benefit in their
observations of the blue ribbon purebred
stock that will be assembled from all
over the country. The girls will be pro
vided with accommodation in homes
near the grounds, and will also have
the benefit of this special instruction.
State Leader Seymour says the en
tries by the JuvenUe clubs of the , state
will be one of the most Interesting fea
tures of the stock show, .and that they
will carry off a goodly percentage of
the premiums and . ribbons. Oregon
ranks among the leading states in this
work on the Washington records, and is
producing some remarkable juvenile
stock Judging talent, he says. One of
the outstanding features of the chil
dren's diylsion will be the milch goat
exhibits, in which there will be over 60
fine animals entered. There are more
than 80 boys and girls in the goat club
of Portland alone, and Sherman, Tilla
mook and Clackamas also have thriv
ing goat clubs. . ; ' ' '

for the three days.
With ail the many riders competing,
strange to say, the same man has never
qualified ) for champion two times. At
last year's Round-Up Yakima Canutt,
the champion of the year before, was a
strong favorite, but in the tryouts it
only took his mount a couple of jumps
to make him - hit the dirt. It may be
his poor! showing was caused by the
fact thai he was dressed as a sailor,
as he. was in the navy at the time
and no man of the sea Is expected to

1918, w01 be here in the effort to repeat.
According to precedent, however, he will
have jo chance, and, in the speculation
as to who will be crowned 1919 cham
pion, most Round-Up fans look to see
some unknown cowboy from the range
ride himself to fame. 'i
The Police Gazette, the national

Round-Up association that it will again

OF
IN LAKE BY
UNDERWATER BLAST
Game Warden Puzzled to Explain
Phenomenon in Waters bf
! Klamath Lake.
i
23-
Klamath Falls, Aug. 2 3 . Thousands
of fish, rainbow trout mostly, have been
killed by what is believed to be an
underwater explosion In Diamond lake,
according' to Henry Stout, local, game
warden, and R. E. Clan ton, state master
fteh warden,1 who have returned from
tie lak. . The cause of the phenomenon
probably .never will be known but Stout
believes! than some disturbance In the
lake bed, general throughout the lake,
took place a few days ago..
This theory is based on the fact that
the water in every part of the lake Is
slightly! muddy, although it was clear
heretofore, and , on the fact that fish
were discovered dead in all ports of the
lake. The number of trout killed runs
up into the thousands, ranging from
eight inches to a foot and a half in
length. '
The theory that any person used dy
namite in Liamond lake is scouted.
. "It would have taken tons of dynamite
to kill the number of fish we saw float
ing about the lake," said Stout. "It is
certain
that the explosion occurred prior
Monday, but how long before
unknown."

The members of StTut's party besides
Clanton were: John Ramsdell, R. E.
Hunsaker, Charles Simonds and George

Hearing on the increased ; telephone
rates recently announced by"? the- Pa

mission at the courthouse 'Wednesday.
The -company? on July ; 28 : advanced
local exchange rates sufficiently to add
$250,000 . annually to its revenue, over
and above-the-increase-granted on May
2 by the public . service commission Of
Oregon. The city of Portland will ap
pear before the : commission in opposi
tion to the increase. :
The raise is essential to meet the in
creased cost of operation, the company
contends, due to ; advanced wages al
lowed J employes. Authority for x the
higher rates was given by Postmaster
General Burleson. ..
The city claims that Burleson did not
legally authorise the advance.' He or
dered an Increase on November 15, sus
pended it- on the 20th,' approved on June
17 the increase allowed by the public
service commission, and. on July 21 or
dered another, advance. It Is contended
by the city that Burleson's power ceased
on June 5 under the act of congress re
turning the lines to private control, and
that subsequent orders were not binding.
His suspension of the order issued No
vember 15, five days later, made ; that
order null and void, it is asserted, be
cause it was never, again put in force.
