THE FJSir LAWS.
It is quite likely a bill will be in
troduced in the coming legislature
changing the fishing laws. Hereto
fore the Imvs have all been made
withja view to conditions existing on
the lower river. This year other
parts of the river will be considered
also, and it is more than likely the
catching of salmon by any means ex
cept "ill-nets wid be attempted to be
abolished. Of course it will not
win,not if the Eastern Oregon dele
gation stand together. The fishing
industry is one of the utmost im
poitance to Wasco count', and con
ditions here make the wheel the only
profitable mode uf fishing. The bot
tom of the middle Columbia is a
long way down and generally rocky.
The sand bars where seining can be
carried on are few and tar between,
and the gill-net fishing is impractica
ble. Hence any attack on the fish
wheels means the destruction of the
salmon business here, if the attack is
successful.
It will also be attempted lo change
the close season. A law leaving the
season open from May 1st until
November would be an miprove-

ISSUE THE PATENTS.
"When the Northern Pacific lands
from "Wallula to Portland were for
feited, President Oakes, of the com
pany, said : "This action confirms
the title to all the bulance of our
lands, which, at a conservative esti
mate, are worth one billion dollars."'
Since that time the Northern Pacific,
puisuing the tactics of the Union and
Central Pacific, has .'applied for pat
ents tc its lands only as it sold them.
It owns, if Oakes' statement is true,
one billion dollars' worth of lands,
upon which it pays no taxes, and on
which it will pay none. This sum is
six times as large as the entire assess
ment roll of the state of Oregon.
If the lailroads own the lands they
should pay taxes on them, and some
senator can win fame and the enmity,
of the railroad companies by having
passed a bill compelling all corpora
tions that have been given lands by
the government to apply for patents
within a given time, or have the
land forfeited to the government.
There is no reason why land-owning;
corporations should not pay taxes
on their property. i

There was never room for it here: in!

well assured. It had no mission to ,
perform, no field to fill, and while its(i
. ' . '
aim was not higli, it fell far short;
even of that. air. Miller made a
hard struggle to keep it going, but
it was a task neither he nor anyone
else can accomplish in The Dalles
under present conditions. News
papers come and go, but it will be
many years before The Dalles will
support a morning paper. When wo
get our coal lields open, or even
when The Dalles gets awake enough
to raise the money to buy a diamend
drill, ilien a morning paper may
llourish; but that will probably bo
when Gabriel plays his last trump
and everything is turned on edge,
and then us Dalles folks will have no
use for coal or newspapers.
Marion comity's judge has or
dered that the increase in the assess
ment of that county by the state
boixrd ot equalization be not paid,
claiming that the inurcasc was unlaw
ful. It is probable a mandamus suit
will be commenced by the state
ngaint Marion county to compel the
ollicors thereof to collect the taxes as
equalized by the board.
Sandy Olds, the Portland gambler,
has been arrested for buncoing John
Mohrly. Sandy should have another
chance in the pen. to consider the
evil of his ways. This time he
should not be hutricd, and the full

given hitlli
Development of the mines in the
region north of Spokane has demon
strated, or is demonstrating, that
that is the greatest gold mining region
in the world, and Spokane bids fair
to be the greatest mining center in
the world.
Concerning the funding of the Pa

THE PRISONER'S FRIEND.
lliMiinceiit llMUlts of n I.lttlo Girl's llu.
mitni Act.
Thirty-eight years ago a little girl,
named Linda Gilbert, began a thought
ful a.nd moftt useful work, where such
work had not been done by other ami
older people. Her father's house was
in Chicago opposite to what was then
1 he old brick prison. On her way to and
ft om sjIioo! she passed directly boiuuith
the grated windows of the city prison.
.Many were iJic rude faces siiesaw peer
ing out of these windows as she hurried
by. One morning an old man who va
serving' n sentence in Vho prison, and
Who had noticed the child passing daily,
spoke to her through the bars or iron.
"Woii't you bring me something to
read, my dear?" he asked, plaintively.
"I am very lonesome here, and have
nothing to do. living me any kind of
book-, t hat's a good girl."
No prisoner had ever spoken to the
teu-year-old child before, and half
interosteil, she hurried home and told
her father the incident. IJe immediately
gave her a hook from his library to take
to the prisoner. In a short time tin- lit -tie
messenger had made friends with
the old-man. who seemed to be touchtd
for the first time in his life. Every Sun
day after that the child carried a hook
to the prison, asked for the man who
talked to her throegh his grated win
dow, and gave bin a new book to read.
Several months later, the prisoner be
came mortally ill and sent for his little
benefactor. Hefore she went away the
dying man said:
"Promise me. child, you'll do as much
for my comrades in prison as you've
done, for me."
"1 will," said Linda, solemnly.
She kept her word, and for a long time
conJined -her labors to prisoners in her
own state. Hundreds of discharged con
victs came to her. She had been their
prison friend, and was their only hope
when they were released. Xo one went
away without assistance. To some she
gave money; to others clothes and shel
ter and employment.
The first county jail library in Chicigo
was established by her. Soon she
i reached out into other states. She in
terested her friends iir the work and
gave a library of :.'.(i(!n volumes to the
county jail in St. Louis. Thousands of
books began to be sent to her from peo
ple all over the eonirtrv, ard these she
distributed to many prisms. Now she
