TALKS ON FISH
(1. J. Fsrley, mayor of The Palle,
Oregon, was in lndesndeni yester
day. Mr. Farley U covering the state
in tho iut rtt of better protection for
the nalmon indmdry of Oregon. In
peaking of this matter to the Enter
priw Mr. Farley id: "We are trying
to educate the jKtople to the grt ne
cessity of voting iion this measure. It
is one of great financial benefit to the
itato of Oregon. It is of great inter
x,t to those who appreciate food fish
ing. This measure, looking to the in
crease of the industry, is one that is
not intended to increase I he tI of
the noplc. The passage of this bill
will not entail additional expense to
the taxpayer of the state. The ex
pense of the industry is borne by the
fish -packers, who pay a license to the
state of Oregon and from the revenue
thus derived the salaries of tho fish
warden and his deputies are paid.
This revenue also rovide funds for
the maintenance and ojx-ration of
hatcheries and for the distribution of
fish to all streams throughout the
state,"

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 liost in the' world. Soon these
flh will be an extinct breed. They
are the fish that made tho Columbia
river famous. The few remaining
specimens should lx? protected with
closed season. The ojien season
should be put off from April 15 to
May 15. After that there should be
the closed Sunday and rigid regula
tion of all kinds of gear gillnets,
traps, seines and wheels.
Master Fish Warden Van Dusen
quite his office May 1, leaving the in
dustry in a bad plight. It is too
much to say that he is wholly to
blame for this condition of affairs.
But the fish faction wi'h which he
has been allied is as much to blame as
any other, and none is more grasping
and none has defeated as much rem
edial legislation. From the Oregon
ian, April 27th, 11)08.
The U. S. Bureau of Fisheries has
for a long time been endeavoring to
secure just such remedial legislation
as is being objected to by the low6r
river interests. A short time ago
Secretary Strauss, of the U. S. Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor, set
forth a list of things necessary to save
the industry. Initiative bill no. 318

iiieas. We commend it to your favor

INDEPENDENCE LOSES GAME"
The game of base ball, which was
played in Independence last Sunday
resulted in favor of Albany, the score
being 14 to 6. The day was rainy and
the attendance at the game was not
as large as usual, but those who did
brave the . weather entered into the
enthusiasm of the game. Though In
dependence played good ball it is the
general opinion that they were slight
ly outclassed', by the Albany team.
At the conclusion of the fourth inn
ing the score stood 2 to 2 ami it
seemed apparent that Independence
was equal to the emergency of the
.moment. .The loss of the game is due
more to the dmzji.ng.rain which kept
up ''throughout the game. It was im
possible to handle tho ball with any
certainty.
Following is the lineup: '-'

Kirkland, Burrows, , Johnson, David

Business men lead carefully the fol
lowing remarkable ;( statement from
Assistant Attorney General Trickett,
of Kansas: ,
"When I first moved upon the dens
of vice two leading bankers, in company
with i.hrpa leadlns merchants, caned
nnnnmeto nrotest against closing the
saloons, saying it would ruin business.
Not Ions since these same men returned
to my office to apologize tor their former
request, and stated that it had net
only not injured business, but had help
ed every line. The bankers informed
n that in three months, under closed
saloons, deposits had increased $500,000.
The merchants said their business had
increased, collections were better, and
that women were trading witn tnem,
presenting their husband's pay checks,
stating that they had never seen a pay
check until the saloons were closed.
Ex-Mayor W. A. Coy, proprietor of the
largest store in the sixtn wara,
which was the storm center ot the ngnt,
stated to me recently that to his per
sonal knowledge a score of families now
lived in comfort that lived in squalid
poverty before the closing movement.
The same statement has been maae to
me by more than fifty merchants in
that city. I oonsider it a safe prepo
sition to invite any one who feels in
doubt to write to any merchant In
Kansas City as to the effects.
"Last May our city officials . were
figuring how they could spare the
money to enlarge the city jails, but
today we have no use for those we have.
The doors swinging idly upon their
hinges, with no, inmates, the guards at
the rock pile have been discnargea,
