WARNING. FROM FISH WARDGN.
State Master Fish Wnrdon Mc
Allister is sending out warnings
all over tho state to all persons
or firms operating irrigating
canals or ditches that they must
comply with tho law regarding
the protection of tho young sal
mon. The new lnw which has
just gone into cfTect requires
that all irrigation ditches must
be screened at tho inlet with n
certain prescribed sot of screens
to keep the young salmon from
pouring into tho ditches and
being borne out onto tho land
that is being irrigated whero
millions of the little fellows have
been allowed to die and rot as
the water evaporated.
Many complaints have come
to Warden McAllister from dif
ferent parts of tho state that
irrigation concerns are not obey
ing the law and that there is tho
same danger to fish that there
always has been. The deputy
wardens under Mr. McAllister
have all been notified to see that
these notices were properly post
ed and to prosecute any future
violations of tho law. The pen
alty is a fine of from $50 to $500
and imprisonment from 10 to GO
days.
The above clipping was handed
us by Deputy Fish Warden Mace
with a request to call attention
to this law. Mr. Mace desires
all who are in any wise effected
by this law to make preparations
to comply with it He has writ
ten for particular instructions as
to tho size or meshes of the
screen to be used and will notify
all concerned upon request
Whilo this matter may seem
of little importance locally it
must be complied with and tho
sooner people understand this
the better for all concerned.

Hon to which tins part of the
state has been subjected by the
Harriman bunch. But, our voice,
calling out of tho wilderness, has
fallen upon deaf cars! Instead
of a vigorous enmpaign that
would arouso tho business men of
thnt Sleepy Hollow town, by what
is supposed to bo the chief
mouthpiece of the Pacific North
west, aro fed upon political bomb
como dnting back to tho saurian
ago! When tho peoplo nt Inst
became aroused to a realizing
sense of tho condition of Oregon,
so far as concerns tho railroad
question, and took steps to rome
dy tho evil, then this great organ,
of reaction, blind as the toads re
cently rudely released in Colora
do from their rocky embrace of
a million or more years, sets up
a howl that reaches from Dan to
Bersheebn, that it was a mon
strous idea, socialistic, and child
ish, to think of a state built or
state owned or state operated
railroad; that poor Mr. Harriman
must not bo spurred to action;
that ho must not bo harried to
anger, poor patient fellow, and
when he gets good nnd ready
ho will givo Eastern Oregon need
ed railroads! So ho will, but not
for tho benefit of Portland, you
poor old innocent!
Tho journal, however, sees the
real and ultimate trend of affairs
and says, pointedly nnd firmly,
that unless Portland awakens
from its lethargy, and makes nn
effort itself to reach this Great
Inland Empire thnt our futuro
enormous trndo which should he
mado subservient to tho wolfnro
and upbuildong of Portland will
bo taken from her and handed lis
a lieu gift to San Francisco. It
well and truly says: "Harriman
is now plunnig to carry all tho
traffic of southern Idaho, Enst
orn Oregon nnd much of Mon
tana direct o San Francisco by
way of Klamath Falls or that
other branch of tho Sacramento
river," which latter monnii tho
head waters of tho Pitt rivor nt
Lnkeviow!
Tho Journal, with tho feeling al
most born of despair, further
says:
"Oregon and Portland may
hopo and wait for Mr, Hurrimnn.
If they only wait long onough
and sit supino onough they will
seo their birthright Blip away.
They will peg tho great output of

S. A. D. Puter returned yester
day morning after nn extended
tour of tho East, in tho courso of
which he visited Washington D.
C, where hcrcmnincd some time
says n Portland exchange. While
in tho National capital, Puter had
several interviews with Secretary
of the interior Bnlhngcr nnd Com-
"missioncr of the Genernl Land
Office Dennott, and Was inform
ed thnt it will be tho future
policy of their departments to
make a rigid investigation of nil
public land claims concerning
which there is tho slightest sus
suspidion of fraud, und where
there is evidenco to indicato that
the land laws havo not been fully
complied with, such entries will
bo hold for cancellation.
man has made an earnest effort
to comply with tho laws and
othcrwiso net in good faith in tho
desiro to acquire a portion of the
public domain, such purposes will
receive proper recognition, nnd
finnl title issued with as little de
lay and nnnoyance as possible.
Commissioner Dennett assured
Puter that his department had
about $1,000,000 nvailablo for
this purpose, which has only
recently been granted by Con
gress, nnd that a largo force or
special agents is boing sent into
all tho public land states, parti
cularly tho pacific Northwest,
with tho object of investigating
the situation.
On tho subject of appraisement
of timber lands as a condition
precedent to acquiring title un
der tho net of Juno 3, 1878,
known commonly as tho timber
and stone law, Puter says tho
Commoner expressed some doubt
ns to tho advisability of such a
proceeding, and intimated that
his recent action in making the
ruling that timber lands should
be sold on tho basis of its ap
prnisment, was to prevent their
wholesale acquisition as specula
tors and wealthy syndicates.
Dennett inclines now to tho opin
ion that it would bo preferable
to sot a fixed prico"of $5 nn aero
for this character of land, and
roquiro a deposit of $50 ns an
evidence of good faith nt tho
time of making entry, this
amount to go ns a credit on tho
purchnso price. Ho thinks this
would lmvo a tendency to sup
press fraudulent operations to a
largo oxtont, and impose no par
ticular hardship on honest entry-men.
Tho dangerous grade in North
Dnllas running from tho South
ern Pncific track on tho top of
tho hill to tho county rond below,
was the scene of n most painful
nnd distressing accident last Sun
day afternoon, and Mrs; T. V. B.
Embreo and Mrs. Waller Sellers
seriously injured. It is a wonder
that a fatal accident has not oc
cured there before, us there is
nothing to prevent such happen
ing at nny time, especially since
so many nutos are going up and
down.
In the accident yesterday R.
E. Williams, our bank president,
in company with Tracy Staats,
were coming into town in his
now Cadaliac. Mrs. Embrce and
daughter were ascending the hill
in their one horso buggy. The
sudden apparition of the auto
forcing its attention upon tho
horse, scared him and ho wheel
ed nnd threw the ladies out. Mrs
Embreo was thrown violently on
the side walk, in such n manner
as to horribly mutilate her face,
gashing it in every direction, and
nlso breaking her loft wrist The
shock of falling was not an in
considerable one, as she is rather
portly. Her daughter, Mrs. Sel
lers, got off more lucky her only
injury being a severe shock, a
broken rib, and numerous bruis
es. As many were on their way
to the base ball park, plenty of
assistance was speedily at hand
for tho injured. They were taken
into Henry Dimmick's house, ad
joining tho scene of the nccident,
nnd made as comfortable as pos
sible until the arrival of Drs.
Bolinmn nnd Cary, where after
first aid was rendered, they were
taken home. Dr. Embreo was in
Falls City, and Mr. Williams sent
Tommy Magers after him in his
nuto, tho trip there and back be
ing made in record time, an hour
and five minutes. Polk County
