of President-elect Harding during his
sojourn here, desp'te the constant
interruption of the. 'aily round of
visitors.
Senator Charles L. McXary of Ore
gon, -Senator Medill McCormick of Illi
nois, and former Senator Chauncey M.
Depew of New York called upon the
president-elect Sunday.
Senator McNary's visit was understood
to be primarily for the purpose of sug
gesting the name of his defeated Demo
cratic colleague. Senator George Cham
berlain, as a minority appointment to
the shipping board.
It is almost certain that Chamberlain
will receive some; position at the hands
of the incoming-administration. President-elect
.Harding has the highest re
gard for the Oregon solon, whose long
period of service in the senate brought
him Just recognition.
Senator Chamberlain baa had strong
backing for the post of secretary of
war in the next cabinet and a good deal
of this support Is said to have come
from Republicans, but it can be stated
definitely that this appointment will not
materialise. i
The Oregon senator. It Is reported,
would not be averse to takings up the
work of commissioner of the shipping
board, and It is generally conceded that
he has a good chance for the appoint

almost continuously for more than
212 hours, is Improving today and
physicians believe she is about cured
of her strange malady. ? Recurrent
attacks are expected, physicians said,
but it is expected that a treatment
has been found that will eventually
effect a cure. "
After every form of sedative known to
leading physicians and neurologists of
Waukegan and Chicago had been admin
istered without result. Dr. Paul Berger,
an osteopath .of Waukegan. was called
in. Ir. Berger's examination revealed
that the rvertabrae In the child's spine
had become dislocated and on,e of them
was pinching the nerves that control the
organs 'of speech. Dr. Berger exerted
pressure on the girl's spine and the ver
tebrae snapped back into place. Soon
after Miriam dropped off to' sleep and
slept for more than an hour. After
awakening she started talking again but
fell off into another slumber. Although
she talks incoherently at intervals, when
awake, ; the girl's fever is receding and
the nervous tension she has experienced
for more than nine days has relaxed.
Physicians reported today that her con
dition was rapidly approaching normal.

, Commercial fishing resources of
Oregon will easily net the state gen
eral "fund 9500,000 or more every
year if the state will handle her
salmon crop according to common
business principles, and not continue
to give the fish away, says William
L. Finley, former state biologist, in
an open letter to Governor : Olcott,
Finley says it appears strange to him
why the legislature, in its search to
get mony to run the state govern
ment, xa continued to overlook the one
big nXiural Income-producing resource
that Oregon has over nearly every
other state in the Union. ;
FISHEEMEX WOULD OBJECT
Further. Ftnlay contends that the
fish are raised at the expense of the
taxpayers of . the state, and that, if
they are to continue to pay for propa
gation of commercial fish, they should
at least take a share of royalty in the
crop and deposit it in the general fund.
"If the state used the common busi
ness principle practiced by most other
states and by the government in regard
to all the seining grounds, trap and set
net locations she owns, the people would
have a little pin money in the general
fund to run the state government and
would not have to take so much out of
their pockets." says Finley. ,
"Of course, if the legislature embarked
on this business course of - using the
salmon runs owned by the state for the
benefit of all the people, it would raise
a great cry from the commercial fisher
men, j
SAL(OV LOBBT STRONG ; '
"As a state official for eight years,
I have seen some of the ways and
methods of a very powerful salmon
lobby. It is not expected that any class
of people who have for years received
such large gifts from the state will re
lease their special privileges without a
big fight
"When the state grows forests on its
own land, does It Intend to give the tim
ber free-to a corporation that asks to
come in and build a-sawmill? Does the
State, after raising a crop of fruit and
vegetables on -the asylum farm, donate
the crop to a commercial cannery? Why
does the state hatchery raise and protect
its wonderful crop of commercial fish in
the public waters and . theo donate the
crop to a comparatively small group who
do not now, or never have had. the, fair
ness to meet the bills forvtbe sowing of
the seed ? ,
FISHERMEN BENEFITED '
"At thepresent time the state collects,
say $40,000 or $50,000 a year in commer
cial fishing licenses. None of the money
goes to the general fund. It is credited
to the, hatchery funds and every dollar
goes D&CK to me- propagation ana pro
tection of commercial fish. " The state
merely acts as the agent for the com
mercial fishermen, sows the" seed, pro
tects the crop and then donates the
harvt.- is.
"The state is even more philanthropic
than this. For years It has been con
tributing $40,000 or $50,000 out of your
taxes and mine to pay the bills for rats
ing a bigger crop of salmon so the com
mercial fishermen can get bigger finan
cial returns. T '."
. , "There . is one immediate remedy
cwnicn nope you can -propose 10 me
legislature that Id. to increase all com
mercial fishing licenses so that the peo
ple who reap the gigantic free harvest
of salmon will at least pay the yearly
expense of keeping up the supply. : This
will be an immediate cash saving to the
taxpayers of $91,300, which the commer
cial: fishermen are asking of the joint
ways and means committee-" ' J t '
Finley goes further into a lengthy dis
cussion of the methods employed in
other states, and the tactics employed In
the past In Oregon in regard to public
lands and natural products. -
Finley Is now lecturing - for the Na
tional Association of Audubon societies,
and the letter is ' sent to the governor
from Santa Monica, Cat. ;. :

FAMINE IN CHINA
CALLED APPALLING
According to Moy Back Hln. Chi
nese consul, who is receiving first
hand reports direct from the famine
stricken provinces of North China,
the Buffering in the drouth-ruined
district, where 45,000,000 people, are
menaced with death by starvation, is
appalling, and any and all kinds of
food suitable for shipment will be
gratefully received by the relief
workers who are struggling desper
ately to save the emaciated famine
victims, among whom are 10,000,000
children,
Moy Back Hln rejoices in the efforts
now being made to assemble shipments
of salmon, wheat, flour, fruits and other
foodstuffs, of which Oregon has vast
overstocks on hand. for . early shipment
by free government transportation to
the suffering Chinese. He says that
millions of men. women and children
arc now eating bark and leaves and
solely by this means keeping themselves
alive. Suicide and the drowning of
themselves and their babies by Chinese
mothers because of their hopeless con
dition are common, and 15,000 are dying
dally. Details too appalling for publica
tion are given in personal letters to
Portland Chinese and to local mission
aries. As soon as shipments of food
leave Portland the Chinese consul will
cable his government, so thct protection
for the supplies will be insured upon
their arrival in China.
Umatilla and Union counties are al
ready busy assembling wheat and flour,
and workers in Clatsop are planning to
