WANT ED-AN EXPLANATION There Seems to be a Tangle Between the Oreg onlan's Editorials and Its Local Columns. An Individual from the advertising de partment of the Oregonlan, talcing ad' vantage of the agitation over fall Ashing created by the Astorlan, visited this city last week and solicited paid advertise ments from several of the local cannery' men, offering to write them up In at' tract Ive style and to embellish 'the read' Ing matter with- pretty plotures of each cannery-man's "choice" labels. After a week's hard work he obtained three ad' verttseimenrts, wWch duly appeared In Sunday's Oregonten. Rlgflit alongside these advertlstiments, In tlhe local col' umns of Uho paper, appears the bait Which Induced some of these sutwrlp- tlons. It reads as folOonre: "SEVERAL of Klhe anost prominent As tarli cannerymea concur in the opinion that the agitation of the question of saGmon-c&nning by tine Attorla publica' tlon had developed into a boomerang, since the owner of the paper Is eald to be a large packer of fall a(mn at out' side points ihtirueSf. The design of the uncalled-for discussion la clearly hown by the articles VheoiseOvcs. Certain out side packers of ttLA ttsh evidently thought they wanted itihe iwthoCe market to them selves, while packers of as good or better fa'.l fkih on Itlhe Coliuimbla river decidedly object to udhi a conaummlaitlon. The out side packing interests engaged In this enterprise are absurdly enough appealing for eympat'hy and support to cannery' men who only pack coring salmon, per suadlng the tatter that ttreir coring prod uct 'Will be enhanced In vjilue If Uhe faJl oack on the Columbia la out off. The result appears to be a very silly Indulg ence In UTTERLY UNOALLED-FOR recrimination fthaJt can have no effect at all except to "create ausplclon In distant and foreign markets which wi.l only in. jure the wihote Industry unCesa the situa. tlon lis explallned. When It Is under stood tlhat Bhe UNSEEMLY AGITATION orlginaited with a paper owned and also operated presumably In the Interest of a packer of fall eailinon at outside points, the effort to throw discredit upon come of the oldest and most favorably known packers on the tower Columbia, txcauee of their honest fall pack, appears ex tremeiy rldlcuOous. The fa& samon put up on (he Columbia IS QUITE AS CLEAN AND WHOLESOME food as meat bought from the best butdhera. No pains or expense Is pared In preparing and canning the fall pack on the Colum bia. The packers engaged In the busi ness this season also pack spring salmon quite as extensively as anybody else does. They make no pretense that their fall pack Is equal In quality to tSietr spring pack. Both grades, however, ore pre pared and canned with equal care and are entirety iwhoCesome. The packers on Che tower Columbia are famous for the excellence of their canned salmon, end outside paldcera are very lrodfccreet In attempting to tear dtfwn the justly high repute of the Colutnttfa river goods by saying they are unftt to eat' and the like, when tthe outside packers themselves are canning similar grades tlhlo fall. Such -methods of competition are not only lUegltima'te but shortslutited, and sure to do more barm than good, especially In the very quarters Where this ILL ADVISED and VERY UNWISE AGITA TION seems td haw arisn." The Italics are our?. Mr. Elmore, one of the "outside pack era" wtho has aroused tha Ira ot the Ore gonfan's advertising man, happens to be one of Ui three largest Inilde packers of eprtng salmon on Bhe Columbia. The Astorlan's "Interviews," referred to, so sjilhting:y In the above statement, were tr&olutely Inii-nrtial. They contained tne opinion of ov. -y canneryman on the f.'o; uiitbla River, regardless of whether his sentiments wore in- -.tm$ as ours or not. Of these packer , fourteen In number, Hftven wsre packing fall floh nd sever, were not, but twu of the former wre heartily In icwrl with the Astorlan's views miking nine wlio supported our course and ilv-4 who were opposed to It. The nine ln:.-udil the flva largest can nery concerns on the Colu.nbU and alto gotlWer packed dunng the prent spring season 235,000 cae of ra'mon. J. W. and V. Cook, PUUr Hock Packing Co., Everding & Farrell, and V. J. Mc Oowan Co., who constitute the five Arms -wihttoh see nothing harmful In the present system of fall packing, put up during last spring 113,009 cases of flsh-or 172,000 cases less than the men who come out In bold and unmeasured terms agalnct the evil. Nor is this all. Last Wednctday'i Ore gonHan contains an editorial, culled forth by this very edition, whtch the advertis ing stoMcitor for that paper so diriOts, heartily supporting our course and point ing out how great and overwhelming is tine volume of evidence therein con tained In favor of the Astorlw's position. There can be no question of the genuine ness of the feeling that pr ampul the ed itorial The feeling back of the local no tice Is "ten cents per line." It m.iy be wU for us to eiy In -Jjjt pU-.e thit the Aotorlaa (n obtaining its long and ex haustive Interviews at very great exptnre to Itsetf has never askej, solicited c- re ceived a nickel from any cannerrman in & Est, Whatever kind of an advertise ment any packer may have hid by the distribution of our special edition through out toe -wtooie country, has been given to Wm gratis, and very wWlntfy at that H. re Is the Oregoraan's editorial. The curious ana astoundmg conflict of Mess between It and the previously quoted paid notice will lead our readers to wonder first haw the editor can allow the policy oChls paper to toe so stultified, and sec only, how he can consent to editorial subjects being treated 1n an editorial man ner In the paper's local co".uruia by sub sidised advertiWng solicitors; , "Undoubtedly there has never been a time .When the subject of fait fishing In th Columbia river, with its consequent scandal of falsely labeled cans containing inferior fitih, adtnaoted so much attention as it does now. The Aitoriin, in its cur rent commercial edition, gives a broadside of two pages of extracts and interviews coming from leading tradf publications and nearly ail) the principal canneries on the river. The Astorlan's Ueree denuncia tion ot fall fkblng Is approved and Justi fled by a great rnatss of testimony, though cannons engaged in fall Ashing find orgu ments in its tfuvor. That sueii arguments are found, however, proves nodhlng, be cause there Is not a reprehensible practice connected with the salmon Industry tfoiat 'his not been furnished many end epeclous arguments in Its favor.
