The Royal Baking Powder Company controls its

Salem, Dec. 4. The figures
from the fish commissioner's re
port show that din ing the Beasoa
the salmon consumed at home and
shipped east fresh, amounted to
the Faci lie Coast in Hie United
States, nineteen and a half million
pounds; British Columbia, four
million ; the grand total valuation
for the coast amounts to seven and
a tli it d million dollars. Concern
ing the world's fair rt-iiort he says
in part: We think il the people
of Orepon let pass this great op
K)rtutiity to advertise the re
sources of this growing state that
it will lie one of the greatest mis
take ever made, and imre es
pecially in regard t our

product that Oregon is best
known by in remote states, our
own country and in foreign coun
tries is its canned salmon. People
coming to this exposition will ex-
wcl. to see this great iiiuusirv
in its details fully fliown, and if
disappointed would very naturally
conclude that as a btate we were
lacking in enterprise, anil our in

such a showing as this state coulu
make of lish and lish products
would be an inducement to hun
dreds of people and thousands of
dollars to come here.

The Dalles Sun in commenting
upon the sentence oi unaries
Stone for forgery says that nine
years is a good long term ol penal
servitude but none too severe for
tuecrime of forgery. Such was the
punishment meted out to Charles
E. Stone, who plead guilty to three
charges of forgery and there is still
another indictment hanging over
him in Linn county lor the came
otl'ense. It will be sometime be
fore he will have another opportu
nity of be i tic handy with pen and
ink and other person's name and
lv the time lie has served his nine
years' sentence he may have come
to the conclusion that forgery is
not a paving business. Stone
claims he has wealthy relatives in
Cincinnati, where he formerly
lived, and this may be the reason
he was so desiriotis of being in
dicted under the name of Schmid'.
It makes little difference now as
to his name he will have to answer
