Is the course of editorial comment on the bill to regulate salmon fisliing, recently passed by the Washington territory legislature, the Oregonian Bays: It is possible that tlio salmon supply may ba maintained by making tho close season cover the early part of April or the totter part of July, but this, is doubtful and can only bo determined after experi ment. Tho situation is so serious there is no time for experiment. The salmon supply is failing and the law-makers of Oregon and 'Washington are face to face not only with a problem, but an emer gency. In our judgment no suggestion ha-9 yet been made so wiso as that which proposes for the next three or five years to make every second week a close time. Beyond all question this would be effec tive, and it would give time for experi ment in artificial propagation. That it would bo a hardship upon the fishing in terest is quite true, but it would only be temporary, while tho failure of the salm on supply which seems imminent under the present system would bo a perma nent and incalculable loss, not only to those engaged in fishing, but to tho country. The suggestion, theoretically, is a good one; it is, however, hardly possi ble that it could bo mado work prac tically. It would be bo costly an ex periment, while manifestly nothing but an experiment, as to be, really, out of practical discussion. To the canner, with his costly plant in operation, to tho fisherman, with his sole means of livelihood literally halved in extent, the enforcement of such a law would be equally onerous. It woidd entail less expense on the interests represented to allow the river to go unfished for one entire sea son than to occasion a season's ex pense without probability of profitable result. This is not written from a narrow point of view. The fact is not forgot ten nor overlooked that tho public, the state and territory have rights, and that not only producers and con sumers, but everyone in Oregon and Washington, and those who come af ter us, are interested, and shouldhave presence in the minds of those who discuss and legislate upon this im portant matter. As our contemporary justly ob eb serves: '"The situation is so serious there is no time for experiment." But, owing to the imperfect knowledge of the habits of the salmon, all legisla tion regarding its propagation and preservation must necessarily be somewhat experimental in its effort and problematical in its result. For instance: The present law, making a close season from Saturday night to Sunday night in the months of April, May, June and July, is pro nounced to be a good one, and yet is good only in intent- It is no news to many here, but may be to many of our more distant readers, that the only effect of the law, when observed, is to Eend the boats a little farther up stream for the Sunday night cast Columbia salmon only go on one tide; that is, they go up with the flood and stop with the ebb. A school or run that enters the river will, tho next tide, be opposite the city, and the next twelve hours will be above Tongue Point, and so on. With the present Sunday law as regards salmon fishing strictly and literally enforced its only practical effect has been to make the catch of Sunday night and Monday morning unusually lr.ro; the fish that were not caught Rtt i.day niglil and Sunday have im. .1 ; lit so much further up strean, .1 are caught there in place of ,'nrtii"- to ward the mouth of the river. iery fisherman on the river knowi that. And while the statement of this f.ict may at first glance appear to furnish excellent argument for the adoption of the OregoniatCs suggestion regard ing the making every other week a close time, yet, mature reflection will concede the inutility or the scheme. Tho only good effect that it might have would be to prevent concentra tion of gear and scatter it along a wider stretch of tho stream. In view of this habit of salmon to swim up but one tide and then panso for tho next flood, it has been sug gested that a law bo passed making tho close season vary as to tides and locations; that is, to instance; from the cape to Scarborough head be in terdicted; from there to Tongue Point be closed on one day; from the Point toBrookfield or Cathlamet the suc ceeding day, and so on. Let it be remembered that this is purely suggestive; it is but the brief est exposition of an idea with one sole object in view the" preservation of our noble Columbia salmon. It is but one of many projects apparently fanciful, but none the less sincere. That something must be done is evident That a practical, effectual and satisfactory plan of preservation may be devised is tho earnest wish of everyone directly and indirectly in terested in tho retention to the state and territory of this valuable factor in our common wealth. DENIES THE CHARGE. The Tacoma Ledger quotes from The Astobiax regarding the relation of Tacoma and the Northern Pacific Railroad company, and says: For eight years the Ledger has from time to time endeavored to define what it believed to be the relation of the North ern Pacific railroad to Tacoma, but it has never been able to find words as apt as those just quoted. They are few, but significant. The characterization is brief, but comprehensive. Then the Ledger loudly beats its breast and says that it is not backed by the N. P. company; that it is not run regardle33 of any profit or loss in legitimate business, and goes on to deny in toto all the assertions made by this paper regarding the business methods of the Ledger. The Ledger has not fallen so low in the opinion of The Astokian as to be denied belief when it solemnly an nounces in a column editorial that ap pearances are deceptive and that it is not the bonded slave and born thrall of the N. P. company. Indeed, it pleases us to mako an ef fort in that direction for the sake of journalism in general, and we con gratulate the Ledger on the awakened conscience that prompts the utter ance of the commendable sentiments enunciated in its issue of last Sunday But if the Ledger does not belong to tho Tacoma Land company and is not the supple tool and easy mouth piece of the N. P. Co., then it affords the strange spectacle of a journal gratuitously serving imperious taskmasters with a singleness of pur pose, a fidelity of interest, and a con tinuity of effort that is as unusual as ..... it 13 SUSPICIOUS. Tho next thing we will be told by some Oregon newspaper that breaks the law by publishing Louisiana lot tery advertisements, is, that it is doing it for fun. We would not knowingly misjudge or unjustly write concerning any in dividual or newspaper, but will sim ply say that during several years care ful reading of the Tacoma Ledger, we never knew it on any occasion to ad vocate any measure opposed to tho interests or desires of the Northern Pacific managers, or to fail in justifying any of that corporation's efforts or at tempts to control legislation or any thing else in the territory that could be bought or beaten.

I once fought with soft gloves to a finish with a young man who was far my inferior intellectually, but he exceeded mo in bruto forco and knowledge of the uso of the gloves. He was not so tall but he was wider than myself. Longitndm ally he was my inferior, but latitudm.illj he outstripped me. e did not tight a regular prize fight. It was just done for pleasure But I do not think we bhould abandon ourselves entirely to pleasure. It is enervating and makes one eye swell np and turn blue. I still think that a young man ought to have a knowledge of tho manly art of selfdefense, and if I could acquire such a knowledge without getting into a light about it I would surely learn how to de fend myself.

You need not worry so much about your cosmmo until you have written your lecture, and it would bo a good idea to test tho public a little, if possible, before vou do much expensive printing. Your idea seems to bo that a man should get a fine lithograph of himself and a S1C0 Gait of clothes, and then write his lecture to fit the lithograph anu tne cioines. .mac is erroneous. You say that you have written a pirt of your lecture, but do not feel satisfied with it. In this von will no doubt find manv people who will agree with you. You could wear a full dress suit of black with propriety, or a Prince Albeit coat, with jour hand tnrust into the bosom of it. I onco lectured on phre-I nology in the southern part of Utah, bo- ing at that timo temporarily busted, but still nopmg to tiao over too ami times uv delivering a lecture on tho subject of "Brains and how to detect their pres ence." I was not supplied with a phre nological bust at that time, and as such a thing is almost indispensable, I borrowed a young man from Provost and induced him to act as bust for the evening, he did so with thrilling effect, taking tho entire gross receipts of the lecture course from my coat pocket while I was illus trating the effect of alcoholic stimulants on the raw brain of an adult in a state of health. You can remove spots of egg from your full dress suit with ammonia and water applied by means of a common nail brush. You do not ask for this recipe, but judging from your style, I hopo it may be of use to you. P. D. Q. The oyster of the Pacific coast is the only thing that the Pacific coast people do not brag over. This bivalve is a small drab insect, with a strong desire to run largely to gizzard He is unostentatious in his home life, and in stature about the high t of a pressed peanut. The oyster of the Pacific coast lives to a great age, and never murmurs or repines. It is the party who eats bira who repines. They are not good with oil. 1 spaak of this because I have tried it, and when I acquire an important fact I love to give others the benefit of that fact. Oil is a good thing to dour on troubled waters. I am told, but if you pour oil on a troubled oyster you will regret it after you have eaten it. James. Yes, you may learn to pick the banjo without a master, if you adhere to it. Take your banjo for two or three hours every day, go into a second-hand tomb, which you can get no doubt at re duced rates, and there you may com mnne with yourself and pick your banjo with much pleasure. Care should be taken, however, to avoid picking the banjo before it is ripe. Good-by, Jamei Write to me whenever there is anything comes np in your life which you do not understand. If yon want to borrow money at any time, and you can't get it anywhere else, and I happen to havo it upon my creditors, come right to mo with your troubles and I will give it my attention. Bnx Nye.
