Mi, Senfert's Belief Why The Dalle
fishermen Are Unsuccessful.
The fishermen have about given up
hope that they will make. any treat
catches of fish this eeason. Thinking
that there must be a good reason for
this condition of affairs, a reporter saw
Mr. Seufert this morning and asked him
if he knew why it was that the catch
was so light. He replied that he thought
he did. At the Cascades there are two
wheels on opposite sides of the river
which have made phenomenal catches
every day of the season. While they
have been fortunate, the catches above
were insignificant. Therefore the con
clusion is forced upon one that they
corral all or nearly all the fish by some
device. Such is the fact. These wheels
have thrown out long leads across the
water, perhaps 600 feet in length. The
fish coming to them are diverted toward
the wheel and are caught, instead of
being allowed to rjroceed up the river.
These leads are wings which nearly
meet in the center, and are peculiar to
the Cascades alone. They are made of
piles which aredriven into a firm found
ation and braced from behind. Then
four-inch slats are nailed across them.
Thus they present an impenetrable wall,
which in seeking to pt.es the fi9h are
caught in the wheels.
These leads are as yet perfectly law
ful, but it is probable a bill will be in
troduced at the coming legislature which
is designed to obviate this manifestly
unfair method of catching fish, and then
The Dalles fishermen will again have a
fair opportunity.

Farewell to The Dalles.
Rev. I. H. Hazel preached his farewell
sermon last evening at the Christian
church. In the morning about 50 or GO
of his congregation had a Bpread in the
Academy grounds and made out of it a
very pleasant occasion, though it was in
the nature of a farewell. Mr. Hazel's
congregation are very loth to give him
up and could not be induced to do so if
it were not that he goes to further im
prove himself at college. While they
foresee for him a brilliant future they re
alize it is a future in which they are not
likely to have any part. At the busi
ness meeting last evening it was unani
mously decided" to call to the vacancy
Rev. Skaags of Junction City. His ser
vices will begin in September. Mr.
Hazel and wife leave Thursday morning
on the Regulator.
