Hendricks article on "Tlie Origin of the Initiative, Refer endum and Recall in Oregon," pub lished in a recent number of Mc C'lure's Magazine, is receiving some sturdy whacks from the press bf Or -Kon for the amount of untruth and misrepresentation It contains. Even Mr. U'Ren, who is lauded to the skies in the article, takes pains to deny the correctness of many of the assertions made by the writer After a careful reading of the entire story the Ob server Is able to find but one correct statement; that is to say, but one statement that would seem absolutely beyond dispute or contradiction This is a quotation purporting to have been taken from a pamphlet issued by Senator Jonathan Bourne in 1906, when Jonathan was running for the office he now holds. "Those who were iln the Bourne headquarters almott every day," reads this quotation, "say that Mr. Bourne rented all the available rooms in the ' Eklrldge block, In Salem, hired two cojiks and a waiter, fitted up a kitch en and dining room and entertained his friends as he would if they were quests at his own home Every visitor who came was royally entertained." We think the "royalty" of the en- tertalnment in the Eldridge block has never been questioned by any person at all familiar with what was going on there during the famous hold-up session of the Oregon Legislature. It seems to be the general belief in Ore gon that here was one session of tlte lyeifislature where good, old farmer members were really and truly pro vided with "all the comforts of a home." The meeting of the Commercial Club In the court house Wednesday night was well attended. There should have been more present. Every mer chant and every professional man In Pallas should have been there. This club Is working for the good of Dal las. It is working to increase your business, and your prosperity. It Is seeking to build up Dallas in all right ways; to make it a larger . town, a better business town, and a mow de sirable town In which to live In this laudable work, every man should have a part; every citizen should help. It is not fair, nor Is It right, to ask or expect a few public-spirited citizens to carry the. whole burden; to do work which will benefit you and which you should do fofcyourself. It Is gratifying to note the interest already shown in the Commercial Club and the enthusiastic attendance upon its meet ings But the attendance should be greater. Every business man should lend his presence, his counsel, and his influence. The club wants you, Meetings are held every other Wed nesday night. Decide right now to attend the next meeting, and you will never regret it. Your attendance will help Dallas; it will help the club, and It will help you. ANNOUNCE HATCHERY PLANS Young ly to Bo Nursed -at Central Stations Hereafter. PENDLETON, Or., July 4. A new system for the fish hatcheries of the state was announced this morning by Chairman C. K. Cranston, of the Ore gon Fish and Game Commission, be fore he left for Portlarnd to join State .Game Warden Flnley, Master Fish Warden Clanton and Superintendent of Hatcheries Wisner on a tour to in spect present hatcheries and arrange for the Installation of others. According-ro Mr. Cranston, it Is the purpose of the commission to liberate annually millions of trout and salmon fry In the streams of the state, where thousands are liberated now. The commission also purposes to make It possible for thousands" of these young fish to come to maturity where very few do under the present system. One or more central hatcheries will be established where the fish eggs will be collected In, gfreat quantities, These stations will be located at points where It Is possible to get the largest number of adult fish for hatchery purposes. Very probably one for, trout will be built on Spring Creek, In Klamath county. The eggs will be "eyed" at the sta tions where they are taken, and then will be shipped to the branch hatch erles throughout the state for further development Each of these will be equipped with expensive nursery ponds.. Instead of liberating the fish when not more than an Inch In length, allowing them to fall easy prey to larger fish or victims of vary Ing degrees of temperature In the wa ter, they will be kept and nursed un til they are three or four inches long, and well able to take care of them selves. Fifty million trout fry annually for the streams of Oregon Is the mark which the commission hopes to attain by next year, and it is possible that this number will be Increased as the years go by. By this system it Is hoped to make Oregon the best trout fishing state in the Union. Sale or Trade. Big house and seven lots, for sale or trade In on a good farm.

One of the peculiar features of a flying machine Invented by a Salem man Is that It will fly. Tests made at the Fair Grounds recently have en couraged the Inventor to attempt an exhibition flight during the Cherry Fair. Here's hoping that the flight will be successful and that the Salem blrdman will "aviate" across the river and see how Marlon County's prize winning Rings and Royal Anns look on the Polk County trees where they grow. HEAT IN EAST COSTS LIVES Horl Breaking Temperature Cannes Intense Suffering.
