Governor Olcott yesterday announced that he I had approved house' bill No. . introduced by Representative llurd at the recent special session, appropriating $64,500 for the rspair of hatcher ies damaged by the storm of the present winter, is ! The announcement was made by the governor) after paruaal of a letter addressed to him, signed by Chris Schmidt j ot Astoria, member of' the fish commistson, and Carl ShoeniaXer, secretary of the : commission, and after a . conference yesterday with In pledging itself not to snne-r in the ruture for farther appropri ations, the commission reserves the right to ask stata approprhv tions for the master fish warden's department, which is a law en forcing arm of the state govern ment, and which for many years has been sustained by the state. Appropriations fur mU - dea. v nint are regarded as not amount ing to more than J 15,000 annu ally. The bill which has 'been signed by the governor appropriates f 21,004 to be accredited to hatch ery fund No. 1 and 4S,50ft for hatchery fund No. 2. The letter signed by Mr. Schmidt and Mr. VShoemakiar, declared that it me governor did not approve tne measure operations would be seri ously crippled In hatchery district No. 1 and would be shut down completely in district No. 2. These districts comprise the Co lumbia river and its tributaries in the first district and all coast streams sonth of the , Columbia liver In the sepond district. Paying Basis Object. The bill required more deliber ation by the governor man any other measure passed at the spe cial session. The commission, ac cording to Its letter, agrees with the sentiment that the salmon in--dustry should be on a . self-supporting basis. It calls attention to tiro measure passed at'the last regular session and approved by the governor, providing for a poundage fee to be paid upon all gear licensed -by the etute. which. It Is claimed has proved inade quate, and it' is said that at the next regular session it will be an extent that the Industry Itself gnu ViC vc ment will be upon a seUfiusta!n- FREE, i;Chi!areA;Malince Saturday 10:33 a. m. w rts rw v x. - .sr. -w a utm 'A Great - . rirtnrlzation . of the famous TraJl-brenkiBK Expedition of C'apt, John C. - l remont to ' ' the California OoWfieldii. -!,; .. u : -p' r ravn ii j - STARTSTODAY AUo . : HOOT GIBSON in "ACTION" FOUR ACTSTAUDEVILLE 35 c HIGH Theatre in K basis. Text of Letters The- letter signed b Schmidt and liboemaker, setting forth the oresent situation in detail, fol lows "House bill No. C passed at the special session of the legislature carries an appropriation of $21, OtiO to be credited to i hatchery fund No. 1 and $4 3,000 to credited to hatchery fund No. 2. "It was with great reluctance that the lish commission appeared before this session of the legisla ture with a request for this appro priation, but the condition of its l'inand.s, due to heavy losses dur ing the storm which swept the state in November, necessitated thh; action. District Defined "District No. 1 comprises the Columbia river ana u tributaries. In this district hatcheries or feed ing ponds are operated at Herman creek, fJonhevi!le. Clatskanine. Santiam and Oak Ridge. Herman Creek was practically wiped out. The wgter supply system at Bon neville was seriously : crippled, both the flume and ono pipe line having been put out of commis sion, while the dam which furn ishes the water supply was greatly injured and the main hatching building and two other structures were damaged by the h?avy weight of snow on the Tools. At Claskanine the ends around thi dike were washed out, while at Oak Ridge, Salmon creek burst through is banks and cut its way through th'a property of the com mission, injuring the feeding pond system which is being installed and crippling the efficiency of the work at this station. "District No. 2 is comprised of the coast streams south or the Columbia river. At Tillamook the flume and several of the pond were wiped out, while the suspen sion, bridge '.leading across the river from the county road to the hatchery was swept down stream and lost. At Alsea the , damage consisted in injury to the dam. feeding ponds-and water supplies. At the Umpq.ua the most serious damage occurred. Here the new dam which had just been corn- plated was rendered practically useless without a large amount ol repair work. The dam proper re mains Intact. On the north side, however, the water, which reach- a 15 loot seven inch rise, swept out 45 feet of the embankment cutting through tho county road. taking out the concrete abutment. while on the south side the cm bankment was cut back 30 feet, threatening to hurl the attend ant's bouse into the waters, and wiping out the hatching building antL ponds. Unipqiia Dam Injured "In addition to the damage sus tained at the Umpqua! dam, out standing claims against the fund for this district totaled something more than $10,000. while some thing over $6000 has! been paid from this fund on account of con struction of this dam. ; "If the appropriation requested in house bill No. 6 ddes not re ceive the approval of the governor the operations of the fish com mission will be seriously im paired in district No. J and will have to shut down completely in district No. 2. "The fish commission appreci ates the fact that there is grow ing up in the state a sentiment in favor of placing the salmon indus try on a self-sustaining basia. With this sentiment the fish com mission is in hearty accord. Hatcheries of Value to State "In former years the revenue of the commission which is received from the sale of licenses and con fiscated property and fines has betn inadequate to take care of the growing operations of the commission. It is a well establish ed fact that the Oregon hatching system has not only kept the Co lumbia river alive but is gradually bringing about a run of spring Chinook salmon in these coast streams where the experiment has been tried. During the past yenr nearly 000 separate licenses were issued to individuals who take the raw fish from the water. These men make their livelihood, in whole or in part, from the fishing industry. In addition to those who take the fish from the streams there are the boat pul lers, trap and seine tenders, and employes of canneries, which ( bring the total np to more than 10,000 inditiduaas who are di rectly affected by any curtailment of activities on the j part of our batching operations. f "At the last regular session of the legislature a revenue measure was introduced, ; passed and ap pproved by the governor, prwid ing for a poundage feu to be paid upon the catch of 'all gear licensed by the state. This,, however, has proved inadequate and it will be necessary at the nxt regular ses sion of the legislature to present another bill increasing the license fees throughout to such an oxtent that the industry itself and the operations of the department will be upon a self-sustaining basis. Appropriation Required. me fish commission nas au thorized me to say to you that It will not appear before the legisla ture in future years for appropria tions for the operation of the hatchery department. It should be understood, however, that the master fish warden's department. which is a law enforcing arm of the state government, has been for many years past sustained by the state, and properly so, thus making it subservient to the state instead of the industry. The law creating this department provides for the funds being appropriated from the general fund of the state. This amounts to not more than $15,000 annually, the last appro priation, I believe, being $29,400 tor the biennium. "The outsanding bills and bills for. the repair t&r the damaees done by the stornrare obligations or tne state. All of the properties damaged belong to the state of Oregon and should this money not De forthcoming no only would the credit of the state be affected, but tne work of the department' vital ly crippled so that in the last year or tne cycle of the life of the sal mon a serious slump in the run of this splendid ' fish would oc cur. Packers Are Set Hack "In former years we have been able to go to the cannery men and obtain donations. In he year 1920 more han $19,000 were o con tributed. However, the salmon packers have suffered - set-backs and losses.during the reconstruc tion period; Equivalent to those sustained in; other lines of indus try. It is. therelpre, impossible for us to obtafjjvaonatfons from this source to carry on the repair work and the operations during this year. "We feel that this explanation is due you in order that you may be assured that the fish commis sion will not appear before subse quent ajasions of the legislature for appropriations to conduct the hatchery operations. The policy that the industry should be self sustaining is a "wise one and the commission assures you that this shall be its policy." fetish she made of duty, and was certain that if she believed Harry Underwood needed her she. would take him back, stipulating only that he should not interfere with her care for Marion. It was but a few moments be fore she raised a face so ravaged by mental anguish that 1 almost Cried out In sympathy, yet with no trace of .tears upon it. An Unspoken Vow.

If Lodges Install Officers "Please forget, this disgusting experi-nce, Madge." she said, her tones full of self-scorn I knew enly too well how severely she was flagellating her spirit for its weakness "I haven't been, quite sane for the last fifteen minutes, I think, but I shall not offend in this particular manner again." One of the unwritten rules of our friendship has been that neither volunteers advice to the other. But with the remembrance of Harry Underwood, reckless,, sneering,' devil-may-care as ever fresh in ray mind, with the mental vision of Robert Savarin eating his heart out in his lonely mountain home, before my eyes. I threw dis cretion to the winds. "I suppose that means," i said hotly, "that whenever your precious scapegrace of a husband does come ,back, you'll crush everything else under your feet, your heart included,, and try to do what you consider your duty by him. I tell you, Lillian, that, if you do you'll be doing the bitter est of all wrongs to three of the Salt of the earth for the sake of the most good-for-nothing rascal in the country." t The color flashed into her face, and I knew that she resented my speaking as I did, but she spoke only one word, Interrogatively: . "Three?" i "Yourself. Marion and Robert Savarin," I said pitilessly, al though I knew the mention of the last name was like turning a knife In an open wound. Her fingers twisted togethr con vulsively, and the color fled from her face, but she said nothing more for a little, only stood still, looking at me. "I wonder," she said at last, half to herself, then she threw up her head with the old decision. "There can be no compromise with truth and one's conscience, Madge," she said slowly. "I must dree my own weird, dear." She walked away with an air of finality that forbade any further speech on my part. Rut I, too, 'vowed me a vow in this moment that if I could prevent It. HarryJ Underwood should never ask that supreme sacrifice of the woman he had called wife. (To be cont:nueC). Delegations Unable to Agree on Plan to Transfer Railroad Lines DR.

"Of course you can't," I said In my most matter-of-fact tones. "No body but you would ever be Quixotic enough to think of it. If there was no other reason against it you must consider her." 1 pointed to Marion playing hap pily on the beach. I knew as well as if she had spoken her thoughts aloud; what had been in my friends mind when she had embraced her child so convulsively as she sent her away to play. The glimpse she had caught of Harry Underwood successful though I had been n persuading her she was mistaken in his Identity had brought vividly before her the aversion he had cherished toward Marion, made concrete one of the problems she would have to face if she kept the tacit promise she had made to herself when her recreant husband's appeal to "begin all ever araln" was brought to her. ' I know I ! know!" she said wearily. Then she sank into her chair and covered her face with her hands while convulsive dry obs shook her. - Lillian Gives Way. I knew better than to speak to her or to touch her. If she bad wanted me she would have come to my arms. It was characteristic of her, this silent tearless sobbing. wrung Trom her olny in the roost poignant mental ; anguish, and which I knew would be very soon conquered. I reflected grimly that If this were the reaction of my friend to just the thought of Harrv Underwood coming back into her life, the thought born of a passing glimpse which she now ' did not credit, what would be the result If he really did ask for hit place again? That her wild protest was only a transitory thins, dragged from her Involuntarily because ot the hock she had reecived, I was cer tain. I knew her iron will, the cjare in simplest terms the rules of international law applying to Jtnerchant vessels; their full appll cation to submarines and the Invi tation of the five powers to all other nations to Join in the decla ration.

Only the "good orfi:e3" of Ar thur J. Balfour and Secretary Hughes! It was said, could brins about a meeting of the two gov ernments. The Chinese celegate repeat edly refused to accept the Japan ese proposal for payment of the railway by a Japanese loan. Wel lington Kob, a Chinese delegate said, but they made a concession regarding, immediate deposit or 32,000,000 Chinese dollars as aa cash payment. "Unlesj the Japanese accept this offer or our alternative offer to pay in installments at toinor morrow's meeting., that will be the last meeting," Dr. Koo -"aid. ! When the conversations were abandoned two weeks ago. after a deadlock had been reached both on the mode of payment and man agement of the disputed road, the Japanese had demanded an im mediate cash deposit of tbrj pur chase price, if they decided to ac cept cash for retuRn df thft road at the end of nine months as they tentatively agreed to do if other deta'ls could be worked out. This, the Chinese said they were unable to do, but agreed to make three payments over the nine mynihs period, the last to be on the date of actual turning .over of the road. The "Chinese today agreed to make the immediate deposit in full by placing at the disposal or the Japanese resources of the Chinese bankers consortium." Offer Still Stand The alternative Chinese plan provided for payment over i per iod of 12 years with an opt!on to take up the remaining notes af ter three years. This offer still held good. Dr. Koo annouueed. No intimation could be obtain ed from the Japanese' concerning their attitude tomorrow but ' it was understood that they stood firm on their insistence to lend ing the Chinese the money with which to buy the road back. it a Joint installation of Salera Rebekah. lodge No. 1 and.ch.ea" vrt i 1 .0,0.1? . t h r.,i!inir offiej- were mnabuea by district.
