tho rush work at tho naval gun factory
Ailinltal Mason says:
"Tho naval gun factory has boon
running night and day nt full capacity,
and, although good progress has Iwvn
made, the rougoatiMl condition ot all

unions this capacity Is materially In
creased, eventually lesult In failure to

SALMON CAUGHT ILLEGALLY.
Clackamas People Call Situation to
Attention of Representative.
Oregon City Complaint of flagrant
violations of tho salmon fishing law aru
being made by Interostod Clackamas
county people Ui Itepreeentatlve-olect
C. G. Huntley, of this city, who, as a
mouther ol tho state leglslsturo, will
seek to have corrected existing abuses
and their repltltlon In tho future.
These complaints have been made to
Fish Warden Van Diisen, who has de
clined to remedy the situation beacuso
of a lack of funds.
Fishing la by law prohibited within
two mlltB of nny hatchery, but this
law Is Ixilng notoriously transgressed.
There In made a provision In thn same
law for tho patrollng of tho Clackamas
ilvrr within tho restricted districts
about a hatchery, but fishing for salm
on with nets la Ixilng openly carried on
within one-half mho of tho government
hatchery near this city, with tho result
that the take ot salmon at the hatchery
will not exceod one-thlid that ot last
ycni. At this time last year, 10,180,
000 eggi had been secured for the gov
ernment hatchery, while but 3,000,000
eggs have been taken this year. Of
this scssons's taken Superintendent
WAllIck reports more than 1,000,000
eggs have been taken during the past
ten days.
Much Indignation exists among tho
people of Oiegon City with present
conditions, And local fishermen Ate
known to bo Uniting In violation of tho
law for tho reason that nothing has
been done to regulate the rrnctlco at
other places. Oregon City people view
tho situation as one of gieat Importance
to the Industry Itself, and question
whether or not the government in Its
efforts to promote tho propagation of
this fish will not be discouraged bv the
lack ot interest and the failure of the
itato authorities to provide tho needed
protection by enforcing the statutes as
they are now framed.
DRILL TOR ARTCSIAN WATER.
Uloocr Engine and Outfit Is Needed
Near Pendleton.
Pendleton J, W. Chtney was In
town recently negotiating for the pur
chase of a 2,600 foot well drjll. Mr.
Chaney has a 760 foot outfit and a six
hoiro power gasoline engine, but finds
It too small for efficient work.
He Is at present working on a well at
tho Furnish ranch, north ot here, but
work was suspended on account of
losing a drill and a new well was start
ed, In tho old well a depth of over
700 feet was drilled with not a sign of
water, while in tho now one water was
found at 160 feet and only a few yaids
from the location ot tho old one.
Mr. Chaney will purchase a 20 horio
power engine for his new outfit and
will bo Able to bore for Artesian water.
Ho prefers a gasollno engine, ae often
wells aie bored many miles from a
watering place, and it is much more
convenient to haul gasoline than wood
and water.

ORIOLE ORE RUNS $04.
Streak of Sulphide round In the
Hanging Wall.
Busanvllle Heaton & Haskell, who
havo a bond on the Oriole and are driv
ing a tunnel on tho ledge, struck a
streak of sulphide ore on tho hanging
wall that assays f 04 in gold. The
Oriole is an old location, but little
work having Docn done toward develop
ing it. A tunnel was started, and de
tached bunches of good oro were en
countered in a bioken mass of ledge
matter. The workmen now appear to
have entered solid fomation and the
indications are that they will soon have
a body of ogod ore.
The Gold Bug people have sunk their
shaft 00 below the 100 foot level since
installing their steam plant, and their
ore stays with them, which shows the
shoot is getting longer with depth.
They will drift on the ledge when the
200 foot level is reached.
The Badger has three shifts sinking
tho shaft below the 700 foot level. Tho
mill Is running steadily and the usual
amount ot concentrates Is being shipped.
The compiessor pipe line Is being ex
tended across tho gulch to the Bull ot
the Woods, where the air will be used
to run machine drills.

"For the last week," says General

southwest front, eten a few verats fur
ther than we stood on October 6. On
the contrary, we at several places have
been obllited to retire several versts,
but the present lines of defenses mnst
be considered permanent In view ot tho
strong foil ligations constructed. The
Japanese positions at several points are
only 800 paces distant from ours, and
must be considered to be occupied de
finitely by the enemy. The latter's
fortifications are acknowledged by all

there was small chance ot saving tho

ing. Smoke penetrated the hallways
and the intense heat cracked the win
dows. Men and women in the hotel
sought safety in flight.
The immense establishment of Mont
