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," CONSERVING FISH SUPPLY Department of Commerce and Labor Favors Bill. 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 X yes was framed to carry out their iiieas. We commend it to your favor ablo consideration. 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: '-' Independence; Cooper, Blacketar, Kirkland, Burrows, , Johnson, David son, Insbigger, Blanchard and Fluke.

A vote for the saloon is a vote tor drunkenness and its consequent evils. Your home and all the interests ef yoor life will be safer without the saloon. 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.
