The members of the committee are F. J. Carney, B. S. Worsley and Edward Llewellyn. The fire on New Tear's Day on Irving avenue demonstrated the fact that the present team is entirely unable to haul the heavy engine up the hills.

Rogers, Druggist NO EXPERIMENTS Should Be Made In the Columbia With Sacramento Salmon. Astoria. January 1. (Editor Asto- rian) Mr. Stone, the new United Stafirs fish commissioner, certainly deserves a great deal of credit for his determlna Hon to use the money appropriated by congress In re-stocKing commercial streams with commercial fish rather than spending the appropriation for trouting or sporting streams, and I ad mire his promptness and perseverance In trying to restock our Columbia river; but I fear that turning loose Sacramen to river salmon in this river is too rash an experiment. The Sacramento salmon In April and May are a very fine Ann perhaps near er the Columbia river chlnook In quality than any other salmon taken on this coast. I do not know of any scientific test being made between these two fish as regards fatness and flavor. The Eng lish test of salmon used by the board of arbitration In Liverpool and London is the most rigid of commercial tests, and In the English markets the Sacra mento river salmon sells for less money and never has been considered nearly equal to the Columbia river salmon. This is certainly a good test from both expert merchants and consumers. I object to trying any experiments such as putting the Sacramento river salmon in this river. Should the Intro duction of this new salmon lower our standard one point In color or flavor or fatness, it would be a loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars annually. The cannerymen, fishermen and public In terested should earnestly consider this matter.
