and caused much discussion among the
fruit men, being almost unanimously
indorsed. It should be read by every
person wno contemplates planting an
orchard.
The Stockwell-Bacon Company, which
showed here Saturday, is by long oddB
the best we have ever seen in The Dalles.
As usually happens to good troupes com
ing here, it wa's not patronized, the
matinee drawing perhaps seventy, and
the evoniug a round hundred. Should
the troupe ever return, which, it proba
bly will not, it will have a good house,
for Dalles people are willing and anx
ious to Eeo good playing, but somehow
it happens that enough poor shows
come along to get everybody tired, and
a genuine theatrical always gets left.
Pease & Mays will give their regular
grand spring opening tonight. The
Btore has been very tastefully decorated,
and the Dalles orchestra will discourse
some of its sweetest musfc. The many
improvements made in the store during
the past two months will be appreciated.
This sprfug opening has come to be one
of the regular features of this firm, and
one that is always looked forward to by
the ladies with a great deal of pleasure,
for they know that they will then see
the very latest in dress goods and every
thing olse that goes to make the female
form divine, yet more angelic.
Arrangements have been completed
for opening a fine drive from town down
by Klindt'e, out by Anderson's and then
across to Snipes' place. This would
make a drive of about five miles. In
order to make it complete, some work
will have to be done near the Catholic
cemetery. Mr. Anderson will grade a!
road through his place, and all he aBks
is that the gates bo put in. It is pro
posed to put in patent gates that can be
opened without getting out of the buggy,
and to do this will require a small sum
of money. When this part of the pro
gram is settled, the affair will soon be
au accomplished fact.
Now Short Story by Jerome.
Jerome K. Jerome's new short story
has been secured by The Ladies Homo
Journal for publication in the April
issue. It is reputed to be in some re-
Bpects a variation from Mr Jerome's
usual style, and aUo to be one of the
brightest and best of the many excellent
short stories that have come from his
pen. Ho calls his new story "A Por
trait ot a Lady," and it will be illustrated
by W. T. Smedloy.

TO GUARD THE STURGEON.
Washington Legislature l'nssca a Satis
factory Law.
The Washington legislature, at its re
cent session, paseed a bill for the pro
tection of sturgeon. It is a copy of the
bill drawn by Fish and Game Warden
McGuire for the purpose of introduction
in the Oregon legislature. The bill pro
vides Bevere penalties for catching stur
geon at any time that are less than 3u
feet in length. Those that are caught in
the traps on the river not 3.i feet long
must be put back in the water without
injury to the fish.
Most of the traps in which sturgeon
are caught are on the Washington side
of the river, aud Commissioner Crawford,
of that state, advises Warden McGuire
that it is his intention to strictly enforce
the new law. Of late years sturgeon
have become valuable. They sell
readily in New York at 10 cents a pound,
which is quite a difference from the time
when they were simply caught for their
bladders, which sold at 5 cents each.
Had the Oregon legislature ever organ
ized, the bill prepared by Warden Mc
Guire would doubtless have become a
law, us nearly every member of the two
houses recognized the importance of pro
tecting the fish industry on the Colum
bia and other rivers of the state.
With the law in force on the Wash
ington side of the river, some good will
be accomplished, and the assurance that
Commissioner Crawford will rigidly
carry out the law is a matter of great
satisfaction to Warden McGuire.

WILL PAY THE STATE.
County Judge Muytt TlilnkH This the
1'ropur Thing,
The county judges of the different
counties of the state met, or were repre
sented, in Portland recently, and many
of them are of the opinion that the
state's proportion of taxes should not be
paid over to the state treasurer, but
should be used in paying off county in
debtness, thus stopping interest. This
echeme mighty work were it certain that
tliere would be no extra session of the
legislature.
In conversation with Judge Mays this
morning, he took the view that the duty
of the county is plain, that is, it must
turn over the money as required by law;
that the action of the legislature is not
sufficient to justify a state of lawlessness
on the part of everybody else. "Sup
pose," said he, "we should use the
state's portion of the taxes to pay off
county indebtedness, and that after this
was done a special session should be
called and the state demand its money.
What would we do? The money being
expended, could not be paid over."
There is no use in creating legal com
plications over the matter, when by
doing as the law requires they can be
avoided.
