MAKE TKMTH WITH MI.MOJf.
Astoria During the month of
July the United Htale Fish Com
mission commenced an experiment to
learn how long It took a salmon to
rearh Its natural spawning ground
after entering the Columbia river
from tha ocean. A number of sal
mon were caught la the Government
trap In Baker's Hay and a email lead
button on which was Inscribed "l'.
B. Fish Commission" was rivaled
through the tall of each and then re
leased. The first ef theae to be caught
was one delivered to the Megler Can
nary, at Brookfleld. last week and
gave no outward evidences of hav
ing been Injured by the button. The
distance from where the aalmon was
releared and where It was caught
was about 16 miles In a straight line
and the time consumed was about
two months.
The cspture of this Individual fish

cedure was undertaken for the pur
pose of opening an Issue for an ac
tive campaign of reorganliatloa. The
matter will be submitted to the vot
ers at the November election in 1910.

tain the suffrage for women under
the same conditions as Is enjoyed by

In thnt It asks for the suffrage for
women taxpayers only ana is me nrsi
time that such a measure nas oeen
presented In this state.

closed evidence that points strongly
to murder.
In the right temple of the skull
fhr u a laree hole. Inflicted by a
ponderous blow, and fragments of
the bones, which were snauerea oy
hoaw trmtrument. were found Inside
the skull. Evidences of the man's
Identity have been destroyed, ana
further evidences of the crime have
been obliterated by time and the ele
ments. Physicians say that the man has
been dead for not less than six
months and perhaps a year, I ney
also say that the wound in his temple
could not have been self-inflicted,
and have accordingly eliminated tha
possibility of suicide.

her error until the investigation had
brought the deaths almost home to
