The plan of renting the new fiction books at the Dallas Free Library to raise funds for the purchase of more volumes of the beat of popular fiction, has met with immediate and unquali fied success. Scarcely had the books been made ready for circulation when they were eagerly, taken up by the patrons of the library, who, when.it was explained to them, were perfectly willing to fall in with the scheme for raising funds for the purchase of new books. Several of the books have already been loaned more than onoe, and it will be but a short time until every one will nave earned the required amount of rental and can be put Into the list of books in general circulation.

Cake and of Gover nor Chamberlain for United States Senator, and dealt briefly and satir ically with the political sophistry used by the Portland Journal in behalf of the latter candidate.

Oregon SALMON AGAIN SCARCE Famous Columbia River Fish Will Soon Be An Extinct Breed . Unless Protected. Ten days of salmon fishing in the Columbia River show the salmon sup ply still on the wane. This is the sea son of the finest salmon of the river the best in the world. Soon these fish will be an extinct breed. They are the fish that made the Columbia River famous. The few remaining specimens should be protected with closed season. The open season should be put off from April 15 to May 15. After that there should be the closed Sunday and rigid regulation of all kinds of gear gillnets, traps, seines and wheels. Master Fish Warden Van Dusen quits his office May 1, leaving the industry in abad plight. It is too much to say that he Is wholly to blame for this condition of affairs. But the fish faction with which he has been allied is as much to blame as any other, and none is more grasping and none has deieated as much remedial legisla tion. From theOregonian, April 27th, 1908. -The United States Bureau of Fish eries has for-'a long time boon endeavoring to secure ' Just such remedial legislation as is being ob jected to by the loweT river interests. A short time ago Secretary Strauss, of the United States Department of Com merce and Labor, set forth a list of things necessary to save the Industry. Initiative bill No. 318X yes was framed to carry out his ideas. We commend It to your favorable con sideration. To The Voters of Polk County.

Although seriously handicapped by physical disability since boyhood, I am not asking your support out of sympathy on that account The custody of your funds is purely a business proposition and - sympathy should cut no more figure here than in the selection of your banker, as that is what the office really amounts to in the end. - - Our county Is now practically on a oaBh basis, and our taxes, (about $150,000 annually) are mostly collected In the spring and remain In the Treasurer's hands jjn til paid out on warrant in the regular course of busi ness, and I feel that I am qualified, from business experience, educational attainments and past financial integ rity, to care for these funds to the satisfaction of the taxpayers of the county. I therefore respectfully ask you to consider my qualifications for this position, and if, in casting your vote, you will use tbe same business Judgment that you use in your private business, I shall be satisfied.
