Owners of fish wheels and canneries
are making extensive preparations for
tho fishing season which opens April
10th, and hb many of the fishermen from
tho lower river have gone to the Alaska
gold fields, it is expected that the fish
will have a better chance to get up the
river this year than last, as they will
not have to dodge so many traps and
nets in so doing.
Latest rumors concerning the trouble

Capt. Morse and others, but the talk of
the evening was made by Mrs. Gwilt.
The prospects for the most successful

and the executive committee feel that
with tho enthusiasm evinced on
this occasion, backed, as it is, by the
pride of The Dalles, our D. C. & A. C,
and by the citizens generally, their
labors must meot with triumphant suc
cess. We propose to have the largest,
most enthusiastic and successful en

Tho Farmers' Iuststute at Hood River

brought to an end the most successful
series of institutes ever held under the
auspices of the Oregon Agricultural Col

were much pleased with the largo at
tendance at tho institute and the inter
est and enthusiasm sIioaii in the work.
Tho Hood River schoolhouso in which
tho institute was held was filled to over
flowing, and at some of the sessions in
larger towns audiences of over 800 peo
ple wore preseut. Every day patents
signified their intention to send tiieir
boys and girls to tho college, having
gained an appreciation of the scientific
aud practical methods to be learned

At the sessions Saturday there were
thorough discussions on forage plants,

horticultural business.
An excellent musical program was
rendered at tho evening session, and

NEWS NOTES.
ConBul-Gerleral Lee will not be re
called and the United States will send
food to starving Cubans in war veEsels.
Late reports state that 10,000 Klon-
dikers are on Ihe war-path, on account
of the Canadian government stationing
custom house officials at the head of the
passes.
The Portland Tribune sayB that if the
government carries out the policy agreed
upon By the president and his cabinet,
in less than a week we will be involved
in war with Spain. The Spanish atroci
ties in Cuba and their failure to end the
war by pacific means, together with the
Maine disaster, will be the leading causes
for action.
