It is proposed to put a tax upon those free passes in France and a howl of rage has .gone forth from those who enjoy the privilege of riding for noth ing. The proposed tax is very light, and it might be supposed that those en joying the privilege of riding free would ride without any protest, but the political class seems to be the same everywhere, and a few cents im posed upon a free pass is considered a real grievance.

Mr. Hubbard, superintendent of the salmon hatcheries at White Salmon and Clackamas, came up yesterday on the Regulator, and in speaking of the success of the work at White Salmon this year, said it was meeting the full est expectation of all connected with the plant at that place. More eggs were put in the hatchery this year than ever before, and at present there are 10,800,000 young salmon undergoing the transformation from eggs to fish. All tho spawn are very healthy and it is expected that from 90 to 05 par cent of them will be saved. In a short time they will be released from the hatching troughs, and placed in water where they will have more freedom, and will be kept there until they are large enough to take their o.vu chances in the river, when they wiil be turned out 10 rustle for themselves. With 10,030, 000 fish propagated at this hatchery each year, the supply of salmon in the Columoia should not diminish as there are less than 5,000,000 fish taken from tho river each year. lilG UK.tlN CAKK1KUS. Two 2,500-Ton Snips Now 2n Honte to Portland. Two of the largest sailing vessels that ever entered the Columbia river are among the grain fleet that is now en route to this port, says the Oregon- ian. The largest of this pair of heavy graincarriers is the British bark Sady Wentworth, 2552 tons, which sailed from Kobe for this port, September 10.

The Springburn registers 2,500 tons even, and is a steel fourmaster, 290 feet long, 45.6 feet beam and 25.7 feet hold. If the Sady Wentworth makes any pretentions of fast sailing, she should show up off the Columbia with in the next fortnight, but the Spring burn has a long journey ahead of her, and will be obliged to co"ie right along in order to get here January 1. There are several other yessels on the list which are we'.l above the 2,000 ton mark, notably the Kinross-shire, 2,299 tons; Glenclova, 2,246; Glenricht 2,216; Potlallock, 2,138; Halewood.2,100: Elginshire. 2.093: Peru, 2,093.and Dun syre, 2,056 tons.

Ii the neighborhood of 1.000,- 000 bushels of wheat is stacked rp at Wasco ready for shipment, and it will keep the road busy until well into the winter to move it. The company has made a rate of 75 cents a ton on wheat from' Wasco to Biggs, which is less than one third what it costs to move it by wagons. Besides the wheat traf fic, the road has a large amount of up frieght to handle, contracts having already been made for handling 100 cars of lumber destined for Biggs aud surrounding country. Sherman county has long wanted a railroad reaching into the wheat fields, and now that the Columbia Southern has been comple ted, a-season of renewed thrift may be looked for In that country.

L'hool Superintendent of Union County Sued tor SIO.OOO. From the Union Scout it is learned that H. F. Allen, a school teacher of Pine valley, who recently filed charges against County School Superintendent Reynolds for alleged noa-performance of duty in not visiting the schools of the county, has now brought suit in the circuit court against Mr. Reynolds for $10,000 damages. The complaint, among other things, alleges: "That defendant, for the -purpose of injuriug plaintiff in his good name, credit and profession, and disgracing him, and bringing him under the sus plcion of being guilty of the crime of forgery, and -to harrass, oppress and impoverish and ruin plaintiff, hereto fore, towit: on the 18th day of Febru ary, 1897, within the county of Union, State of Oregon, falsly, maliciously, wantonly and without probable cause. composed, wrote and published the libelous matter following to-wit: "This man, (meaning plaintiff) has forged a certificate (meaning a teach er's certificate.) in this county,' and no school board in this county can recommend him' (meaning plaintiff.)"

With the assistance of the California state prison officials, Detective James B. Hume, of Wells, Fargo & Co., has bean enabled to identify Georgo Jack son and Charles Williams, who made such a bungling job of holding up the O. R. & N. train a week ago tonight, about five miles from town. r. Eugene Shelby, manager of Wells-Fargo's ofUce here, received a telegram from detective Hume, statins' tbat old man Jackson's right name is Milton Harvey Lee, who has served three terms iu the California peuiten tiary his latest term being for the robbery of a Fresno stage coach. In view of this fact it is no wonder that this aged outlaw, with one foot almost in the grave, refuse! to divulge his right name when he was arraigned in the municipal and circuit courts. At the time of his arraignment before Judge Sweek last Monday. Jackson, alias Lee, gave as a reason for declin ing to divulge bis right name that be was well conuected, and did not want his people to know anything of the scrape bo was in. Detective Hume says that Charles Will-ams is under arrest by his right name. He served one term from Los Angeles, and was only recently libei ated. Telegram. - - " Th.
