curred in Clatsop -county was played
at Fort Stevens last Monday between
the Astoria and Fort Stevens teams.
Talk about the atrocities committed
by the. Spanish against the poor Cu
bans, the Cubans don't know what bru
tality is. ' The result of the game 'is
that two soldiers are in the hospital
with broken legs; one had his knee
cap out or joint; one had two ribs
broken; one bad his nose broken; one
has his face and head cut and bruised
in such a manner that' he will be dis
figured ' for life; Wm. Crosby, of the
Astoria team, is sufferlug from a
sprained ankle, and Tom Spencer is
laid up with a broken leg. Nice game
ain't it! Talk about prizefighting and
Spanish bull fighting! They are sim
ple amusements compared with foot- I
ball. The laws of Oregon make rape
and prizefighting a crime. Better
make these legitimate sports and pro- I
hlblt football. A bill will be intro
duced lb the' next legislature prohibit
ing football in the state of .Oregon.
inasmucn as aoout iv people were
crippled in games played Christmas

that the bill will become a law, and

FI8H PROPAGATION.
Commissioner McUnire Will ask fa
. B80.OOO Appropriation.
"It will require $25,000 a year for
the next two or three years to operate
the state fisheries as they should be"
said Fish Commissioner McGulre to a
Portland Telegram reporter.
"Of this amount," be continued, "we
count on raising half , from licenses,
and the state will - be expected to fur
nish the remainder. ' It is simply out
of the question to talk about "raising
all the funds needed now front licenses.
The fisheryme'n and cannery rnen could
not" pay such licenses and compete
with Puget Sound and Alaska.
An appropriation of $25,000 for two
years is not asking much from the state
when the vast fishing industry is con
sidered. " Washington will be asked to
appropriate jau.ouu, as against Ore
gon's $25,000. ""
We expect to give a great deal of
attention" to artificial popagation, and
hope soon to have the waters so
thoroughly stocked that there will be
no more complaint of a small catch.
As soon as we get the hatcheries
tinder way, considerable attention will
be turned to increasing the various
species of trout In'Oregon waters.
"There Is much interest manifested
throughout in the matter of stocking
the' streams with .trout, and "also con
cerning laws' for their protection."
Mr." McGulre says that tne destruc

ive catching and by 'fishing out of I
season must be stopped, and he will
insist upon rigid laws" being passed at

UNITED STATES SENATOR ' SIMON.
The Washing-ton Post Gives the Senator
m FlstMrlnr notice.
Senator Simon, ' of Oregon, is tha
smallest man in 'the senate. As he
stood in the 'marble room the other
day, says the Washington Post, sur
rounded by a group of enthusiastio
Oregonians, towered above him until
he looked like ' a ' hazel nut in the
bottom of a quart -measure.' His di
minutive size Is all the more noticeable
when it is remembered that the states
men who have represented Oregon in
the past have all been of large stature.
Senator Dolph was" over six feet tall,
ex-Senator Mitchell is well built, and
Congressman Ellis is - as tall and as
straight as a pine. --
When he . was a year old Senator
Simon took an ocean voyage. -' Ho
traveled with his father and mother
from Germany to the United States,
and reached Oregon when he was a
child of . six years. Figuratively, but
not literally, he has grown up with
the west; but that bis -.brain is very
large in proportion -to: his body Is
shown by the high- .position he has
achieved as a lawyer- and the promt
nent part he plays as a political leader.
He bas been a delegate; to the national
convention, which nomtnated , Harri
son at Minneapolis. Having been
elected senator, tits enp of ambition is
full, for he can'1 never" be president of
the United States.. -
Bathbone Bisters Installation.

sitted by Mrs. C. L. Phillips and Miss
Ethel Rlddell installed the officers in

The new officers are: P. C, Lily Gavin;
M. E. C, Viola Rorden; E. S., Bell
Berger; E. J., Julia Driver; M. of T.,
Nellie Waud; M. of R. and C, Minnie
Gosser; M. cf P Susie Walthers; P. T.t
Elvira Moor : O of O. T., Edna Clarke;
trustee, M. V. iouthit.
After insU;Uiion a splendid lunch
was served t'iat was heartly enjoyed
by about 40nJmHer8 who were present.
The temple i- ia a prosperous con
dition, and is last becoming one of the
most popular social orders fn the city.
A farewell Party.
A pleasant farewell party was given
by Miss Ulrlch in honor of Eddie Hul
burt, of Albany, who' has been' spend
ing the holidays in the city. The
evening was spent in games and music
Those present were, Mr. and Mrs.
Rees, Mr. and Mrs. Staniels, Mr. and
Mrs. Will Nichols, Mr. . and Mrs.
Lemison, Mrs. Vinson, Misses Urqu
hart, " Fowler, Allen ahd Ulrich,
Mesaers. Fowler,, llulburt, Smith,
Urquhart, Ulrich, Ernest and Half-papp.
The Same drer Here.
The Tacoma Ledger very pertinent
ly remarks: "Eggs are worth 50 cents
a dozen at Colfax, Whitman county.
It would be policy for the; Whitman
farmers to raise a million or two bush
els less wheat and put in a few acres
of bens. It is much cheaper to raise
a dozen eggs than a bushel of wheat,
yet Whitman and other Eastern Wash
ington counties, which produced near
ly 15,000,000 bushels of wheat last year
import thousands, of dollars' cf dairy
and hog products and eggs every year,"
This is not only true in Washington
but in Oregon as well. The Dalles to
day is being fed on imported eggs,
while the farmers are holding thous
ands of bushels, of wheat in the ware
houses that they cannot sell for more
than 53 cents a bushel. Had they put
some of this wheat into hens they
would be getting two dollars a bushel
for It today. "
Coat Lik the Game. '
Editor Curtis, publisher of the As
toria Herald, and member of the legis
lature from Clatfiop'countyrdoh't take
much stock ' in football, and he will
probably try and have it abolished
when the legislature convenes again
next Monday. ' In a recent issue of his
paper he said: -' ' :i . 1
