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.
Oentlemen : i
lama candidate for election to the
office of County Treasurer. A position
of the greatest flnapcial responsibility
within your gift. As many of y9b do
not know me personally, before asking
you for your support, it is but just and
proper that you should know some
thing of the person seeking this posi
tion. Please permit me to offer the
following personal sketch :
I was born in Polk county C2 years
ago; brought up on a farm; gradu
ated from Willamette University in
1878 ; read law two years, but was com
pelled, on account of failing health, to
leave the office; came back to Polk
county and bought a farm on credit,
it'"- "v
7
' 1 '( J
and after fifteen years of industry and
economy, paid for it I then came to
Dallas where I have sinced lived. 1
was elected to the office of City Auditor
and Police Judge for twelve years
consecutively, which is evidence of my
ability as a book keeper and expert
accountant.
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.
My platform is : The oath of office
strictly Interpreted and faithfully
observed.
Thanking you for any favors you
may show me, I am
Yours respectfully,
DAN P. STOUFFEB.
My name on the ballot is numbered
45.
