WESSTER'S LEGAL EARNINGS.
A little Leather-Covered Book That Give
Ills Keceipts.
One of our correspondents has been
so lucky as to fall in with a little
leather-covered book, like those of
bank depositors, which contains Dan
iel Webster's autograph record of his
legal receipts. This chronicle, says
the New York Evening Post, fills twen-tv-eijrht
pasres and extends a little
more thdn from 1833 to 1833, inclusive,
The first entry, dated September in
the former year, is of S-50, and the
second is of 520, for retainers on tho
New Hampshire circuit. The first fee
of S1.000 was paid in May, 1831, by a
Mrs. Badger. Services regarding Cil-
ley's will commanded SSC0. The total
amount for the first year tvas footed up
as 513,140, with the remark: '-Septem
ber 22, 1834, thus done and concluded.
A similar summing up appears at, the
close of each other vcar. The second
total is $15,183. 74; the third 13 821,703.
The first entry of S?2,00O was in 1835,
March 7; the first of ,3,000 December 1
in the same year. The last payment
was in respect to Florida land. The
largest single honoreriuri was 67,500.
In February of the fourth year S5,000 is
set down as b.jstovc;l in a ca:;c cf Trin
ity church (New York). la turning over
this record leading metropolitan and
even provincial lawyers are astonished
that V ebster, already twenty years m
Boston, so undervalued his services.

Miss Grlswold's recitations' were in
deed splendid. She is by odds the best
elocutionist who has ever appeared in
The Dalles, her voice being under per
fect control and indicates most careful
training. Her rendition of the
"Raven," which is perhaps one of the
most difficult English selections to re

selections were recited as only a

OREGON'S FISH INDUSTRY.
Sba 11 i be Destroyed to-Jleceflt the Fish
ermen's Union?
Editor Times-Mount axneer :
The fishermen of the state are being
held up at the rump house at Salem in
the same manner as in the 1895 session
of the legislation. Then the anti
Dolph men, of which Clatsop county
representatives were members and
cuscus bolters, were promised that
their "Fishermen Union" bill, to
abolish all traps and wheels, would be
passed In the house and the Stetwer
bill, to license all gear, would be de
f ea ted if they stayed among the bolters
which all came to pass, and tho re
marks were made openly by an Astoria
striker, then a clerk on one of the
committees, on the floor of the house of
representatives: "Pass the bill and
save the republican party in Clatsop
county." New the rump house is dc
ing tho same thing. They did not save
the republican party, but one of the
Clatsop county members has been
brought into the Mitchell fold by the
same promises: "Take your seat and
we will pass rour bill to abolish all
stationary gear."
If Mr. Mitchell has to sacrifice from
$500,000 to f iSO.COO worth cf property
belonging to private citizens of this
state in crder lo retain hit seat in the
United State senate, the sooner the
people of this state know of the fact
the better.
. The committee from the last session,
appointed by the president of the sen
ate and speaker of the house, to inves
tigate the fisheries of the state, and
the fish commissioner, whose ability
and honesty no one doubts, and who
has in his biennial report to the gover
nor of the state shown, have drawn
up a bill upon their investigations, to
cover the ground fully, setting aside
such streams as they found necessary
for propagations, and raiding a fund
from those who are directly engaged
in the fishing business, such as fisher
men, canners, shippers ana coin stor
age men, and from the best information
so gathered, by a small license fee
will raise annually a sum of from $7,000
to (8,000, out of which all expenses of
collection and of enforcing the law will
be taken, and taking it out of the
hands cf our taxpayers, so that the
fish industry, second on the list of the
industries of the state, will be self-
supporting and will nut in the future
necessitate a call to the legislature to
appropriate a sum to carry onthe office
of fish commissioner, and propagate
fish for the Gshermen at the expense
of the taxpayers. This should become
a law, and the Clatsop county politician
should be taught a lesson that all men
have a right to fish in the waters of
the state in whatever manner they
choose, after obtaining a license for
the same; that the Fishermen's Pro
tective Union, by pledging Its candi
dates to destroy all who may want to
fish by other modes than gill nets, have
rights that will be protected, and their
property will not be wantonly de
stroyed by such foreign elements as
are found in the so-called union, who
say "if we do not want to fish you shall
not,' and put the , taxpayers of the
states of Oregon and Washington to
the expense of calling out their mili
tary forces to protect life and property
of American Citizens who have their
money invested on the waters of our
state.
No one is more to blame for the low
prices now ruling for canned salmon
than this very Union. They have
driven no less than three to four mil
lions of dollars out of the states of Or
egon and Washington into Alaska-
Every canner that can clean up his
plant on the Columbia is doing so.
Not a canner will advance a pound of
twine to a fisherman on the riyer for
new gear or to mend old. Why r be
cause all fear the repetition of last
year's trouble, and the action of the
legislature in the states of Oregon and
Washington. . Destroy the traps,
wheels and seins and the Fishermen's
Union at Astoria will do the rest, and
a once flourishing industry, one giving
employment to thousands of people
and leaving thousands of dollars an
nually in these two states, will be
swept off the face of the earth. Alaska
will supply the world's markets, and
San Francisco will reap the trade.
Our business people throughout the
state should arise and instruct their
members to do their duty and not bow
to the dictates of a self-styled boss In
order to obtain a seat ictho U. S. senate,
to pare the way for the destruction of
so great an industry. Write to your
fish and game protector, and call for
his printed report: see' what this in
dustry is worth to your state.
In these dull times, see to it that we
all help to build up anything that
brings an honestly-earned dollar into
our state, and not endeavor to drive
'capital away from us. Ask any one of
your canners at this time, or any one
of the men who expect employment
from them, under what conditions they
are, and they will inform you that they
are not ordering any twine, " rope or
tin, or hiring any men, as they do not
know where they are at. Ask men
who have from $20,000 to $100,000 and
over invested in this industry, ana
you will realize why times are dull and
why men will not invest among us.
Pass a license bill, and do not do the
bidding of such men as are running
the Fishermens' Protective Union at
Astoria or members who are elected
from Clatsop county, who are pledged
to ask our representative8 of the state
to aid them, so they may destroy by,
law what they are too cowardly to de'
stroy by force. Stop and think of the
outrages committed on the Columbia
river on men who wanted to support
their families last spring by an honest
day's work, and the property destroyed,
Stop and Iook at the expense of send
ing our militia to Astoria, what it has
cost the state of Washington to protect
the property of its citizens against the
mob of Russian Fins and dagoes, who
terorlzed the people on the lower river!
look at what the loss to the state wa?,
by an estimate of the tish and game
protector of Oregon, alone $600,000 in
fish that were not taken, and as much
more in the state of Washington. We
are all interested, not alone the fisher
men, but' eyery citizen of these two
states, in what money is brought into
the state by this industry, and is dis
tributed among all and should concern
all. It is not a question of the one or
two or more river counties; it is the
whole state, and all should do their
share to see that fairness and justice
has its sway. Citizen.
A Difference of Opinion.
Wasco county's repretentitlves in

opinions with reference to the legality
of the recent organization of the
house. Senators Dufur and Michell

Saturday in the city, and were kept
busy answering questions as to their
opinions of the legislative situation in
Salem. Senator Dufur, while he does
not express an opinion aa to the regu-
larity of the proceedings In the house,
takes the position that neither house
has authority to judge of the organiza
tion of the other, hence believes the
senate should not refuse to recognize
the house when regulary notified, by
an authorized committee, of its organ
ization. Senator Mlchcii takes di
roctly the opposite view. His position
is that the senate cannot recognize the
house until all constitutional require
ments have been complied with, and
that the senate has tho l'U'ht and is in
duty bound to Inquire Into the regular
ity of the house organization. . . Mr.
Huntington, having participated in
the organization, evidently approves
the action taken, though had little to
say on the subject. The other repre
sentative, Mr. Jones, has not visited
the city since the convening cf the leg
islature; but it is understood he does
not approve the course pursued by
those who participated in the organ
ization. A torpid liver means a bad complex

Stuart caught about a dozen of them
and cooked them.. For ten days he
wandered through the mountains with
nothing else to eat but those little
birds. One day an elk rubbed against
a tree within two yards of him, but he
had nothing to kill it with. Then a
frog crossed his path, but he was not
strong enough to catch up with it.
When he was nearly dead two Indians
found him and took him into their
camp to have fun with him. They fed
him up so as to get strong enough to
run while they could beat him with
tepee poles. One nijht he escaped.
stole a horse and got away. lie got
lost in the mountains again, and dog
goned if his second horse didn't get
away from him! lie wandered around
again for three or four days, and then,
when ho had given up completely and
lain down to die, some of the party who
had gone out to hunt him up came
across him and carried him to camp. It
is devoutly believed m Montana that
nothing can kill Granville Stuart. He
was a mighty hunter in those days, too.
He has the record of killing sixteen elk
from one spot, without getting up. He
is a man of powerful mind, and will

that they mean in his new position."

ensemble. . Rev. Dr. Locke, with the

"They Are the People."
The legislators of Oregon and Wash

time being "they are the people.'
The day is not far distant, though, be
fore many of them, like their predeces

bad never seen the respective state
houses. Of course they will all re
member some pleasant features con'
nected with the service of their con'
stituents, such as free entertainment,
passes, etc.; but between the "pull" of
the office seeker, the fine and coarse
work of the lobby member and the
thousand and one vexations, many
will get enough of the "good thing.'
But the citizens who spend this same
season their timeand money traveling,

TEACHERS LOCAL INSTITUTE.
Held at Llofar, Oregon Jan , 21st and
82 d. 1807.
A well filled house greeted Prof.
Frazior at Dufur on the evening of the
21st, when he called to order the sixth
annual local teacher's institute and
turned it over to Supt. Gilbert, who
disclaimed in advance any credit for
whatever good should result from the
institute, by insisting that it belonged
to Prof. F.'azier.
On the subject of education, A. J.
Brigham presented some well arranged
principles in a very forcible address.
With his conclusions there was a
general agreement, but his position
that the moral education depended
almost wholly upon parents, elicited
strong disseDt. This address was fol
lowed by shorter ones bearing on the
same subject by Dr. Dietrich, F. K.
Johnston and J. E. Connor, a':l em
phasizing the need of a thorough
practical education of a high moral
grade.
In conclusion Supt. Gilbert called
attention to the superior advantages
of Dufur as an educational center, and
furt'ier emphasized the need aud im
portance of a new school house there.
At 10 A. M. Friday, the institute was
again called to order by the superin
tendent, who, in his brief yet lucid
way, outlined the plan and object of
the institute.
Tie subjec-t cf mental arithmetic
was then presented by P. P. Under
wood, who called attention to the
great value of this study on account cf
its developing the power to reach
definite results by correct logical
reasoning. He closed his remarks by
showing the sameness of work when
using either integral or fractional
numbers, illustrating his statements
by solving a dilTcult problem. Miss
Maud Pea body read a well prepared
paper on methods in teaching orthog
raphy, bringing out several good
points; one being that pupils should
not see their misspelled words, but
the words should be correctly spelled
for them.
Miss Nellie Hudson's paper on what
shall teachers read? showed much
careful thought and research in pre
paration, and was heartily commended.
In presenting the subject of writing
vertical and oblique Mr. Gilbert
called attentien to the ead neglect of
writing In many of our schools. He
claimed that the vertical system is
only a fad, and is inferior to the
oblique In legibility, beauty, and in
the rapidity of its execution. He urged
teachers to daily subject their pupils
to thorough aud systematic drilling in
this high I y beautiful and useful art. -
E. S. Hinman in preseutiog methods
in primary geography, complained of
the text book as being poorly adapted
to primary pupils, containing so many
hard words and being beyond the com
prehension of the young. This led to
different suggestions of methods for
overcoming the difficulties.
The best presented and most import
ant subject of the institute was moral
culture methods of. Prof. Frazier
has for years made a specialty of this
and his method and experience justi
fied his vehement claim that moral
culture can be successfully taught in
the public schools.
Sixteen teachers attended the in
stitute, and were enrolled as follows
Nellie Hudson, Alice Powell, Maud
Peabody, Joseph M. O'Brlan, Robert
D. O'Brien, Edith Peabody, Aaron
Frazier, Roy D. Butler, Anuie
Frazier, Dufur; Hattie Stein wets.
Hattie Allen, P. P. Underwood. Bessie
Hastings, Boyd; O. K- Butlor. Nansene
O. H. Kerns, The Dalles; Will H,

The attendande during the day was
not as large as that of former years:
but at night a packed house showed
the interest felt by all classes, who
listened with close attention to the
following program:

A SOCIAL. SUCCESS.
The Charity Ball Olven by the Elks
Grand Social Event.
No pleasanter event ever occurred' in
The Dalles than the charity ball given
by Cascade Lodge, No. 303, B. P. O,
Elks, at the Vogt opera house last
night. The large hall was most taste
fully decorated, presenting a prettier
scene than ever before. Around the
walls were neat draptngs and numbers
of elks' heads, while the stage presented
the appearance of a minlture forest. In
the renter stood a large mounted elk,
while near its side was a live deer, and
in front was a profusion of potted
plants and everereen, including two
large cedar trees.
Promptly at 8:50 the orchestra opened
with a. splendid selection, and the
grand march began, lead by Judge and
Mrs. G. C. Blakeley, in which were
some 150 of the youth and beauty of
The' Dalles. -Elegantly costumed ladies
and gentlemen in full - dress were in
evidence throughout the spacious hall,
and it was evident from the pleasant
expression shown on every face that
the efforts put forth by the Elks to
entertain their guests was appreciated.
Dancing continued uninterrupted
until the hour when all Elks remember
their absent brothers, and as the bell
on the stage toled the hour of eleven
all Elks assembled around a table in
the center of the hall, sang Auld Lang
Syan, and drank a toast of pure and
sparkling water to the brothers who
were absent. Dancing was resumed
again, and continued until 1 o'clock.
The ball was a pronounced success
in every respect. The attendance was
large, the music was the best, and the
dancers, well, none ever erjoyed
themselves better. The receipts of the
ball too were satisfactory, being such
as will aid the different societies of
the city to extend relief to many who
are in need of assistance.

REVIEW Of BUSINESS.
General Trade in Improving- Slowly Bat
- Barely.
R. G. Dunn & Co.'s trade review for
the week says:
There is more business, though not
at better prices. It is interesting that
almost all prices which change at all
are lower than a week ago, and yet
business Is unquestionably larger.
There is larger production, but as yet
not as much Increase in consumption,
and there is larger buying of material,
but at present only because better
prices are expected in the future. A
few conspicuous failures during the
week have had no material irjilueuce.
Tho market for securities Is slightly
stronger, and yet there is very little
doing. Toe number of hands employ
ed, all industries considered, is slight
ly larger than a week ago, with ad
verse changes in tho rate of wages.
All apprehension of foreign disturb
ance of money markets has passed
away, but there Is still gieat caution
in making loans. It is a mistake to
reckon this as a symptom of degres
sion. On the contrary, In spite of the
lower range of prices in tmportar t in
dustries, the conditions all indicate
larger production and a consumption
Increasing, not as yet largely, but
steadily.
Wheat, corn and cotton exports are
the key to the financial situation, and
during the pas, week wheat has de
clined h:, and cornje.
The heavy buying of wool mentioned
last week lias continued with smaller
concerns participating, and is under
stood to be in anticipation of expected
duties, the sales at Boston alone having
amounted to 11.508,000 pounds. Quota
tions have notchanged as yet, although
Western holders are quite stiff.
Failures for the week have been 409
in the United States against 373 last
year, and 65 in Canada against Gl last
year.
