Many are offering themselves for pray ers each evening. There needs some attention at the city pound by the proper authorities.

Both branches of the Oregon assem bly adjourned yesterday until Monday 2 p. m. to give President Fulton and Speaker Keady a chance to prepare a list of the committees. Hon. E. N. Chandler availed himself of the oppor- tunity to visit his constituents, andwill be in the city until- Sunday evening. i Senator Fulton -is not U man who stoops to do an unfair act, hence it is safe to say that in the preparation of his committees as president of the senate there will be a just and impartial arrangement of his colleagues, accord ing to the measure of ability without special rewards, or designing neglect.

The steamer Telephone celebrated the anniversary of her smash-up on the jetty by mfeking a call at the north- Portland stock yards in a fog, to take some hogs on board. As she was about to land at the place she ran into a vessel lying in the river, breaking the bow-sprit. The force of the .collision caused the vessel to swing, and as the Telephone was .backing to clear the vessel she ran into the Oceaa "Wave and had her wheel smashed. .' The steamer Ocean Wave was damaged to the extent of about $200, and the telephone about $500. for past favors Happy New . MAYS The Dalles Portage BUI. Senator Raley's bill to' appropriate $460,000 for .a portage railway between The Dalles and Celilo is substantially the eame measure as the one he intro duced two years ago, which passed the senate and was defeated in the house by a narrow margin. It provides for the money to-be expended by the governor, secretary of state and state treasurer, as in the case of the portage road at the cascades of the Columbia, and this year has the per centage of favor over 1890, in the showing of benefits accruing to the people of the Inland Empire from the construction of the cascade portage railway. It is safe to say that if justice is meted .to this division of the state, the Raley bill will become a law. We shall follow the subject with statistics. If any evidence were lacking to con vince Mr. Blanchard and others of the house committee on. commerce in con gress, that the people of the Inland Em pire do not propose to be any longer olitically hoodooed respecting the dalles rtage railway and an open Columbia iver, let him or them observe the action of Oregon assemblymen on this subject for the next thirty-five days. The Jnte Factory. Representative Keady has introduced r. bill providing for the erection of a ute factory at a cost of $180,000 for the (employment of convict labor. It is to have a 100-loom plant, of the same capa city as the one at San Quentin. The governor, secretary of state and state treasurer are constituted 'a board of directors. The chief product is to be grain sacks and other jute fabrics ; also brick. The products are to be so.ld di rect to consumers in Buch Quantities as the board of prison directors may direct. This is one of The Chbonicle bills, and while we feel that it is to be one of the best measures to come before the assem bly, we shall be satisfied with fifty looms to start with, and a proper de crease of the appropriation as set forth m Mr. Keady's bill. - The nlan as rro- posed by The Cheoniclb is heartily endorsed by the farming community. We may say almost unnnimouely ; and we would prefer moderation in the de mands upon the treasury to a loss of the measure in its entirety. - Some people imagine that it will re quire the help of all the convicts in Sa lem to run the jute sack factory. This i disputed by the Capital ' Journal, which announces that "there are -convicts enough to run. a jute 'mill and a stove fnctorv too." The Bankers Daughter, now on at Cordray's is one of the best plays ever written by Br on eon Howard. It is clean in to"ne, elegant in language and intri cate and clever in plot.

It Is Necessary for Us to Read the Fish Commission the Riot Act About Black Bass. . , It is proposed some' time eoon to send out another carload of Dass from eastern waters by the United States fish com mission to stock the lakes and streams of Oregon and Washington. Our moun tain trout has been the divinity of ani glers in " Oregon streams for time im memorial, and there is a wholesome ob jection raised to the proposal of the United States fish commission in its ef forts of supplanting them with bass from anywhere. Judges,' , presidents, senators and plebeians, who have gone many miles to toss the gamy speckled trout a fly will ask the pressof thi coast to enter a protest against this pro! posed desecration, which is a worse on than the infliction visited upon our preserves" by the introduction of carp and bull-pouts. Our mountain trout is the acknowledged king of all fresh water fishes. No other will take tbe fly like him or compare in gaminess; nor is there any so toothsome. The black bass is a very good fish compared with the bull-pout and sunfisb, but he is hot in the same category with the trout. As food the black bass brings eighteen cents a pound in the New York market today, where the trout sells for a dollar a pound. There is a corresponding difference in their game qualities. The bas9 is not the superior of our trout, . in eize even. . Any one who has tver caught either the large bass, or the small-mouthed bass, in eastern waters, where tbe fishing is considered good, will tell you, if they ever had the experience, that they, never bad so much sport in a whole day, as they found in Tront lake, or any one of the hundred trout streams in the vicinity of The Dalles in half an hour, This is not the climate, either, for bass, under the most favorable circumstances ; and he would never flourish here. He is no comparison to the trout in any sense, and our Rod and Gun' clubs should teach the fish commission that their " labors in this bebnlf would never bo appreciated. ' Our fish is a " true trout, though differing slightly from the eastern brook trout, and being a purely Pacific coast product, it should be our pride and ambition to keep him at his best. Then we may treat out eastern visitors to sport such as they can only read about at home. - Nothing less than the speckled beauties we have is good enough for the waters of our magnificent regions. Let us put a stop to the fish ing out of season, slaughtering . trout with eiant powder and set-lines, and the Inland Empire will long remain a spot tor anglers to aream ot.
