In the house last Tuesday Hon. C.
Loinenweber introduced a bill to re
district tho state. The report says that
Clatsop and Columbia under this plan
would send ono joint senator, but if every
5,435 white population or fraction ex
ceeding one-half is the ntio, it would
seem that Clatsop county alone is enti
tled to two senators; 8,153 white people in
Clatsop would entitle us to two, and if
everyone were to stand up and be count
ed, they might be found. The bill fur
ther says that under its provisions of ono
to every 2.117 Clatsop county would have
two representatives. It seems to one
who has rudimentary knowledgo of the
multiplication table that Clatsop county
according to this ratio would havo at
least three. But Clatsop county is not a
bit captious. It will take one and be
very thankful. Last time wo had none
at all. This time we have, however.
DEATH OF TIIOJJAS IURU0UR.

gence of the death of Mr. Thomas Bar

T2nd year of his age.
Mr. Barbour was the youngest of the
three brothers composing the firm known
as Tho Barbour Bros. Company, and was
president of the company. He was a
man of untiring energy and extraordi
nary business sagacity. Coming to New
l'ork a mere boy ho built np a groat busi
ness, and at tho timo of his death was one
of New York city's leading merchants.
He was held in high esteem by hundreds
of employes and subordinates, and his
business "partners and associates in Lis
burn, New York, Peterson, San Fraa
cisco and elsewhere, feel the loss as a
personal bereavement.
Ho leaves one son, "William, who suc
ceeds to his interests in the business, and
to his father's position as head of the

S1LMOS PROPAGATION.
January 21, 1885.
Ed. Astebiak:
Mr. StonG recommends protection for
the salmon of the Columbia.
Common sense dictates the preserva
tion of a three-million-dollar industry of
that nature if necessary and can be done.
All history and precedent is against tho
proposition that tho fish supply will keep
up, itself, with a catch of two millions of
fish annually.
"We desire to suggest a method of pres
ervation, to wit: prohibit gill net fishing.
Allow tho salmon to be taken by shore
gear seines, traps etc This would leave
the main channel of tho river free for the
passage of the fish. This would do awaj'
with transient fishermen and the whole
business of catching wonld go into tho
hands of the owners of gardens along the
banks of tho river. Indeed, this is almost
necessary for the existence of the can
neries. Tho last two years havo nearly
bankrupted tho canneries of the coast,
and they havo no surplus funds now with
which to pack salmon for "fun."
Tho put up has bocomo so large, also,
that the supply exceeds tho demand ex
cept that the article shall be so reduced
in price that it can bo more commonly
used by the consumers.
"With tho present put up it cannot be
expected that canned salmon will sell on
tho Columbia above an average price of
one dollar per dozen. That is all that
tho market, east or foreign, will bear m
tho future.
That means 35 cents apiece for raw
fish, and tho canneries to run hereafter
will have to get fish at about that figure.
Gill net fishermen cannot furnish them
at this rate with tho present number of
boats on tho river fifteen hundred. At
tho high price of fresh fish last year the
majority of the fishermen made nothing.
Thirty-fivo cents wouid not pay for tho
net let alone boat hire, time and board of
the fishermen, wo would suggest that
the state of Oregon appoint a fish com
mission whoso duty it would be to in
quire into the best methods of per
petuating tho fish industry of the Co
lumbia. HFish are being taken with dip nets at
the foot of tho falls obstructions in the
river. Is not that their natural spawn
ing ground? And will not the taking of
the fish on the upper river at those places
do greater injury than the present catch
ing below the Willamette?
Where are tho spawning grounds of
the salmon that enter the Columbia riv
er? In little rivulets where the water is
so shallow that the fish are helpless and
divided, or on the bars in the larger
streams where the ascension of the fish
is suddenly stopped by a fall that oaanot
bo leaped over; whore tho salmon can
mate and move about?
It seems to the uninformed that there
is a great field of study on this subject,
and that tho state should, mako provis
ion for finding the key?

A Minority Report.
Astobia, Jan. 21, 18S5.
Ed. Abtebiak: I seo in your paper of
to-day an amondment of tho city char
ter debarring a person from voting in
said citv unless he be a property holder.
That, I for one, object to, as I have
lived here from babyhood up to thirty
three years old, and not having any
Sroperty I am debarred from voting,

The steam collier Walla Walla was
placed in the Hunter's point dry dock
yesterday for repairs. It is expected that
repairs on her bottom, caused by her re
cent stranding on the rooks, will occupy
fully twenty days and tho expense will
foot up to over $20,000.-6'. F. Chronicle,

A somewhat better tone prevails in the
salmon market, and several enquiries
have been made for January delivery, but
prices are undecided as "yot. Current
quotations may bo given at 20 24s for
this year's Columbia river pack, and 18
19s for the product of other rivers.

Thursday and clearing yesterday, as
above stated, being but one month and
five days from the time sho sailed from
Yokohama. 5. F. Daily Commercial
News, 17th.
Captain B. F. Sherbourne, of this city,
has "invented and patented a Very in
genious instrument which he calls a log
watch", designed to supersede the ancient
and unreliable sand-glass used when
heaving the log. The machine is of sim
ple make, enclosed in a nickel case, the
whole resembling a very thick hunting
case watch. By pressing tho upper case
a spring is released setting the machin
ery in motion which sounds a gong sim
ilar to that in nse on an alarm clock.
This gong rings for exactly fourteen sec
onds, the samo time a sand glass takes to
run out. Every one familiar with ship-
ing will at once see the utility of this
og watch, and the wonder is not that it
has been invented, but that somo such
contrivance was not introduced years
ago. Every vessel and officer will, doubt
less, secure one as soon as they can be
manufacted, S. F. Daily Commercial

SOME BUSINESS THOUGHTS.
Lack of advertising patronage impels
the Taconsa Ledger to talk as follews:
A little reflection would make tho man
ashamed of himself who complains that
"times are too hard to advertise my bus
ness." Tho individuals who think thus
are stapding in their own light, and aro
guilty of a suicidal policy, at which, if
carefully weighed, their own selfishness
would atand aghast. These men seldom
think that if a live, newsy local champi
on of a growing city is necessary to tho
existence of a place, it must live, and
live by patronage. When financial stress
or tho evils of hard times comes to a place,
which forsooth it must do with more or
less frequency, tho merchant or manu
facturer, even if he has not prepared for
its visitation, can set himself to work to
curtail expenses, to reduce his stock, to
discharge employes or reduce their sal
aries, and by various devices he is ena
bled to weather the storm and sustcin
his credit. Among some of the outlays
to be foolishly reduced or economized is
that of advertising. By this coarse, ho
would seem to proclaim that ho has gono
eut of business, or is endeavoring to
close out; that he has no now stock en
route, and is," only when Ms disgust will
afford him leisure, disposing of tho sel
vage ends, the old patterns, the damaged
goods and rag-tag and "frayed ends gen
erally of a once prosperous store He
leaves this impression on the community,
because tho first foolhardy attempt to
wards economy was a murderous blow at
his own city, his own business, by strik
ing at his newspaper.
jjoi us investigate ims a muo cioaer uy
asking what is the best among the few
agencies for building up a city? "What
mirror can bo truthfully and favorably
reflect tho multifarious interests of a new
place? And the answer will bo, the daily
newspaper. Look at it this way: Sup
pose you lay down a copy of the Ledger
in some place abroad. It falls by chance
nnder the observation of some ono who
is seeking a new home. Ho may or may
not have heard of Tacoma. but tho
spirit of inquiry is upon him. He ob
serves a large daily; ho sees several col
umns of live local information; bo reads
several columns likewise of timely edi
torial matter, and scans at the same time
the various businesses represented in its
advertising columns. Immediately Ta
coma has forced itself into that man's
esteem. Ho cannot help it. Tho news
paper, by his merely glancing over its
pages, has convinced him 'that Tacoma,
with 7,000 inhabitants, reflects more
prosperity and closer promise than many
cities around him at the east or in tho
west of 13,000 people. Ho does not stop
to reflect that perhaps tho newspaper be
fore him is ahead of the town in enter
prise that its contents, make-up and
general appearance aro in advance of its
Eatrons and their diversified enterprises.
I this be tho caso with ono individual,
then more can it bo said, when the jour
nal in question makos its rounds among
the hundreds of restless, discontented
home-seekers all over the land. Can or
does any other agency or instrumentality
offect as much? It is a trite old maxim,
"Show mo a man's library, and I will toll
you the man's character," and in this age
of increased intelligence and educated
perception' it is a well accepted axiom
with the masses, "Show me the newspa
pers of a city, and I will tell you what
kind of a city it is.''
In spite of theso patent, self evident
facts, there will bo found somo so un
natural in their methods of business as
to, at the first arrival of financial de
pression, attack their best friend, blight
the source of the prosperity they once
knew, and who do their unconscious ut
most to blight all future prosperity by
crippling their nowspapor in failing to
advertise. Yet, the newspaper is ex
pected to continue its mission, to work
night and day, in season and out of sea
son, in aiding the upbuilding of each en
terprising project which tends to the
growth of its adopted city. It is sup
posed to be arrayed at all times in war
paint, to savagely defend it against the
slightest imputation, the merest innuendo,
or tho hostile whisper almost dumb. Un
like the merchant he cannot curtail ex
penses, he has no remorseless little leaks
to shut off; his force cannot be reduced;
his paper must bo paid, for his press must
be run, and turn where ho will in dismay,
he can discover no place where tho hand
of retrenchment and economy has not of
nocessity already left its imprint. Sup
pose then that many should deem the
"times too hard for advertising," what is
the publisher to do? There is but ono
'recourse. It would be painful to his
pride to resort to it, and it would bo still
more disastrous to the city, built up in a
great measure by newspaper activities.
He would be compolled to abbreviate the
size of his paper, to so curtail its propor
tions that its readers abroad, or parties
who have been led to investigate tho
place for themselves, would on tho first
appearance of the dwindling sheet pro
nounce tho place a failure. They would
infer that its population was leaving,
business houses closing up and that this
locality once so famed for its pluck and
promise had Jlnis written on its title
page. And these are tho very ends igno
rantly sought to be accomplished by
those who refrain from giving their live
local paper a proper advertising sup
port. STEAMER SCHEDULE.

SCOTCHED SILHOX.
A Crnel "Way to Serve a Ktneljr Flh.
Many of your readers, no doubt, have
eaten scotched salmon, though few, I
trust, have ever been witnesses to this
brutal mode of preparing the fish for
dinner. It is quite common in England,
but in this country, I am told, it is more
frequently resorted to than is generally
thought to be tho case. If so. it would
bo a proper subject for investigation for
Mr. Bergh's and similar societies. There
is here a set of youug men which, even
in New York, would pass for fast. They
spend a great deal of their timo deviniug
now means to gratify their palates. One
of them, who has recently returned from
Europe, had there seen the scotching of
a salmon, and he forthwith decided to
show some of his friends here a practical
illuitration of tho process. It requires
a live fish. To get it he sent to Canada.
A splendid fellow, weighing about twenty
pounds, was caught for him in tho Hesti
gouche river, packed in a water-tight tub.
and forwarded to "Washington. 1 would
not dare to say what it cost to send the
fish here. It was certainly not less than
$5 a pound. The most elaborate prepara
tions had been mado to do justice to the
process of cooking it. A dozen or moro
of tho young man's boon companions
were invited to witness the process. At
the proper time all assembled in tho
kitchen, into which tho tub cpntaing the
salmon had been carried. On tho rango
stood a copper boiler, imported from Eng
land for the purpose. Its inner sides
were lined at regular intervals with
blades of steel sharp as knives. The
young man at onco assumed direction of
matters, uolu water was put, by his or
ders, into tho boilor on tho range, and
the salmon's quarters changed from the
tub to the boiler. It took three men to
manage tho salmon. As soon as this was
done fires were built under the range and
tho fish was slowly boiled to death. Of
course, as the water got warmer and
warmer, he would plunge about more and
more. With every movement he mado
his body would coino into contact with
tho knives and bo ripped open. It was
nearly three-quarters of an hour before
the fish was dead and a full hour before
it was fit to be served. One of the young
men in relating tho story to me said: "It
was a disgusting sight, I tell you. It
made me almost sick and if I had not
feared it would offend tho host I would
have refused to oat of tho dish. It was.
though, the best salmon I ever tasted.
You. seo tho scotching takes oat all tho
milk which is so objectionable in fish
when less than twenty-four hours old,
puffs out tho flesh and makes it light, and
you get at the samo time all the good
qualities inherent in fresh fish. It looks
when dono almost liko popcorn." He
added laughingly: "Thoro ought to be
somo punishment provided for people
who delight in such cruelty for the sake
of gratifying their stomachs. The line
used to be drawn at the scaling of live
fish and the skinning of live eels; but
'scotching1 salmon, you will admit, is
worse than either.' Eastern Lrller.
THE OREGOX AMI CALIFORNIA R. R-.
It is noteworthy that the Oregon and
California railroad, which passed into
tho hands of a receiver on Monday, is
tho last and only corporation in this part
of the country of which Henry Villard
retained tho presidency; though 0 littlo
more than a year ago he was the man
aging officer of corporations represent
ing a capital of nearly $200,000,000. It
is also noteworthy that tho affairs of tho
Oregon and California company first
brought Villard to Oregon. This was in
July, 1874, when he was sent hero by the
(icrmau bondholders to negotiate with
Ben Holladay relative to terms upon
which the bondholders could scenro con
trol of tho road. In the fall of tho samo
year, Mr. R.Koehlcrcame out and served
as financial agent of tho bondholders, an
office nearly equivalent to receivor. In
1876, Villard came here again and con
cluded negotiations with tho stockholders
through Holladay, and tho bondholders
thereafter operated the road. The same
year Villard was elected president, and
has continued in that office ever since.
From 1876 to 1881 the road earned
about 2 per cent, abovo operating expens
es, and this excess of 2 per cent, was ap
plied toward tho part payment of tho
interest on the bonded indebtedness, hi
1881 the company was reorganized, moro
funds raised, and the old indebtedness
converted into preferred stock. Sinco
that timo the net earnings have been
about tho same, tho surplus of 2 por
cent, being declared dividends on the
preferred stock which represented tho
old bonded debt; while tho interest on
the now mortgage bonds, as provided
under tho plan of reorganization, was
charged to the construction account.
During tho timo tho road was leased to
and operated by the Oregon and Trans
continental company the lessees paid tho
interest charges.
Tho extension from Roseburg to Ash
land has increased tho burden of interest-bearing
debt without increasing the
net earnings. That part of tho line has
barely earned operating expenses, and in
all likelihood will not until extended to
a California connection. Principal caus
es which threw the road into the hands
of a receiver aro low earning?, slowness
of the Central Pacific in constructing
their Oregon branch and the complica
tions which have arisen out of the lease
to the Transcontinental company and
the subsequent surrender of the lease.
Those and tho general monetary depres
sion rendered it inpossiblo to mature the
plans contemplated in tho reorganiza
tion. Oregonian 21.
