The steel head salmon, which i the
most valuable of all for cold storage
packing, is threatened with extinction
in the Columbia, and unusual effor
are to be made to increase tbe ontput of
fry the coming season.
1 Last season was tbe first year artificial
propagation had been tried with t hi
species on tbe upper coast. . A hatcherv
belonging to Thomas Brown and Geo
roughton, on Sandy river, was used fo.
e purpose. The expense was defray
private subscription, and about on
illion steelhead fry was turned into
e waters of the Columbia.
Fish Commissioner McGuire has al-
ady taken the matter up, and expects
make satisfactory arrangements with
e men owning the hatchery to again
rry on their work this winter. He has
t yet seen the other members of the
mmission, but feels sure they will
artily co-operate with him in this
atter.
The scarcity of steelhead salmon has
used the .price to go np, until this
ecies is the highest priced now taken
ut of the river.
The Bteel heads spawn in the late win
ter and early spring, while the chinooks
spawn in the fall. The heavy freshets
are very destructive to the steelhead
spawn, and, for that reason, artificial
propagation is : absolutely necessary to
increase the output.

Still A. W. Patterson continues to re

dispatch from that city says :
"A..W. Patterson, of Oregon, clerk of
the bouse committee on tbe irrigation of

master of the Alpha Eta chapter of the
Kappa Sigma fraternity, of this city.
Shortly after the election of Mr. Patter
son, bis fraternity chapter, composed of
students of the Columbian university,
gave its annual banquet at one of Wash
ington's hotels. The entire affair was
under the management of the Oregon
man, who acted as toastmaster on tbe '
occasion, and introduced tbe several
speakers. Tbe event proved one of tbe
most successful ever given by the frater

William B. Turner, of Oregon, a clerk in
