The fish market has been ser iously demoralized by the storm! which stopped the usual supply from the coast waters.

The market this wee been, practically innocent of fresn salmon and halibut, so that fish- lovers have had to get their prov ender largely from cans or from barrels, or practice hypnotism on their appetites.

MALCOLM TIRE CO. Commercial & Court Sts. Salem Oregon Low operating cost Prison Shows Results Observations mada by the gov ernor in connection with inmates Of the state penitentiary and by other methods has revealed a serious situation, particularly in Portland. ! The letter sent by the governor to Dr. Strieker follows: "From observations I have made in connection with prisoners at the state penitentiary, and from information received from Other sources, I find there ap parently is a most serious situ ation, in Portland at least, anl posslwy in other parts of the state, in connection with the ille gitimate sale of narcotic drugs. Reports come to me from reliable persons that the number of ad dicts to'-the deplorable practice of drug using is growing. If this is trne it is a most alarming sit uation. In any event, the illegal use of narcotic drugs should not only be curbed, but eliminated en tirely, if possible. Wide Inquiry Sought "I am writing you as secretary of the state board of health and state health officer and also writ'.ng to the secretary of the state board of pharmacy asking you to jointly conduct an Inves tigation into all phases of this traffic, and gather information to as nearly as possible cover the situation in the state. In ad dition I would be pleased to have you secure all available data as to how other states deal with th's problem, not only as to its enforcement but in handling the addicts themselves. It is my plan, when your In vestigation is far enough ad vanced to warrant it. to call a joint meeting of the state board of health and the state board of pharmacy, and ask you to lay this information before them, and re quest they take up the problem from that time to further go into the, question and make a report and recommendations covering the entire subject. Elimination Necessary I realize the necessity for curbing and eliminatinc the use oi narcotic drugs in as snort a time as possible. But when the job of cleaning it up Is done, :t should be done thoroughly and well, and I appreciate the advfsa bllity of going into all of the de tails to the end that we may be prepared to meet the situation 'I would be pleased to hear from you at the earliest possible moment as to when you can go ahead with this investigation and when I may expect a preliminary reort. "Will you kindly consult with Mr. Frank'S. Ward, secretary of tha state board of pharmacy, fo you may co-ordinate your ef forts."
