Mr. and Mrs. A. T. Shoetnake were in Grants Pais last week on their way to their home near Selma from Eo gene, where they bad been for tbe week in attendance to the State Grange, as delegates to represent the Josephine connty Granges. They re port the session of the State Grange a success in every particular and the largest attendance of any previous session. The business men and the other citizens of Eugene, and Presi dent Campbell and the faoolty and students of the State Uuiversity were generous in their hospitality and eveiything possible was done to make pleasant tlie stay or tne urangnrs m the University City. To Southern Oregon was given the honor of the second highest office in the State Grange, that to overseer and to this position Mr. Shoemaka was elected without solicitation on his part. A decade or more ago county warrants outstanding ran almost 10 years before they were redeemed. This made tbe interest almost equal tbe principle, that is to say, the in terest on each outstanding warrant was from 65 to 78 per cent. Things have changed wonderfully within late years and warrants are now railed in for redemption in about tliree yeara and the iuterest only reaches eighteen to twenty-two per cent, ur course this better condition is due in small measure to the fact f'at the legal in terest rate has been reduced two per cent par Bnnom, or from eight to six per cent.

What About Salmon Protection? That the food fish of our State need better protection than is now afforded is agreed. You have already or doubtless will receive considerable literature on the subject, but no matter how attractive the argument, stop and consider how much it may be colored by self interert. The United States Bureau of Fisheries are the greatest export authorities on the subject and have on ax to grind. Read what they say: DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE AND LABOR OFFICE OF THE $E:RETARY, WASHINGTON, D. C. Hon. Charles W. Fulton, United States Senate, Washington, D. C. Sir: Tbe Department realizes the importance of the various questions affecting the salmon fishery in the Oolanibia River broach t op in your letter of the IHtk ultimo, and has taken this opportunity to make thorough inveatiagtion of tbe matter. There can be no question that tlie status of the fichery is unsatisfactory, and that ondur existing conditions the trend may be expected to be steadily downward, with tbe result that in a comparatively few years the run of ralinou in that stream will be reduced to such a degree that thousands of fiahermen may be thrown out of etnplnynieut and much capital rrndred idle. Tlie Federal Government is without any juriadlotlou whatever in the priitniae, and the duty of conserving the salmon supply in the Columbia devolve on the states of Oregon, Washington and Idaho; but this department has boon charged by cougresa with important Huh cultural operations in the Columbia baaiu, aud has full impelled fiom tinit to time to direct attention to the necesnity for giving adequate protection to the various species of sal mon frequenting that stream. The Department ia convinced that the run of salmon in the Coltibmla can be amply maintained for an indefinite period if art ic dial propagation is supplemented by rational protection ; but artificial propagation alone cannot cope with the situation, and, as a matter of fact, the recent experience of the department has shown that its beneficent lalairs are rendered almost futile by the failure of tbe atate tn appreciate this fact. The department sees no l canon for advocating the elimination of finh wheels from the river, as there Is no evidence to h' ow that this form of apparatus Is particularly destructive to salmon. A condition that is specially favorable for the jpaHaage of salmon namely, very high water renders the wheels unserviceable ami, on the other hand, periods of very low water, when the fish nre much reatrioted io their movements, are alito unfavorable for the wheels. During the paat two or three scaaoua the catch of salmon by wheel has been comparatively small; but even if it were very large it would ha an act of no ppecial significance iu the preaoiit connection. The Colubmia Kiver ia, however, wade to yield a quantity of salmon far greater than regard for the fnttiro supply permits, aud the drain is yearly Incoming more serious. No one familiar with tbe situation oau fail to appreciate tne menauce to the perpetuity of tlie luduatry that ia futiiitmed by the concentration of a tremendous amount of fixed aud floating apparatus of rapture in and near the mouth of the river. This appara tus coiupriM-s about 400 pound nets or trap, over Mil louit sweep seinea, and more than 2200 gill netrt, the liiHt hav ing an aggregate approximate length of over 570 miles; and thesi appliance capture morn than U5 por cent of the Rrih taken in tbe Oregon and Washington waters of the river, the figures for 11)04 being noarly 31,000,000 pounds, or 04.7 per cent c.ftlio total yield. Under such conditions, it is self-evident that but oomparaitvely few finh are permitted to leach the tipper waters where the spawning grounds ari located. Tbe details of the ineaxoreH necessary to place the salmon iuduntry of the Columbia River on a permanent basin can not be elaborated by the Department at thi time, but in general it may tie said that there should be II) a restriction on the amount of apparatus employed in a given section ; (2) an adequate weekly close seaaon covering possibly two days at first, but reduced later it the circauiHttticea warrant it; (11) an an nual clone season, preferably at tlie beginning of the salmon run, and (4) joint arrangement between tho States, so that protective measures may be harmonious.

Bogae, who lives on Sardine creek, about six miles from Gold Hill, was the victim of a terrible experience last Monday night. While her basba'id was in town, she started ont about 6 o'clock In the evening to hunt the oowa, and after waudermg some distance away from the house, became lost io the thl k brush and woods that prow in that section. She waudered farther away from home until darknest overtook ber and she found herself completely lost When she did not return home ber children sent word to the neighbor and at an early hoar in the morning a searching party was organised and word sent to town and a i arty of about 12 was- sent out from here to assst. About 10:80 the following morning Mrs. Bonne wandered Into the wood camp of Dick Swaukrr, about fonr mile from her home, in au exhausted oouditiou. She wai im mediately taken home and the search ing' parties recalled. Mrs. Bogue is a woman of delicate health and the exposure aud strain of her night's ex perience were very severe on her. -Gold HiU News. VOTE 333-X- NO OF GOOD MACHINES COMING EVENTS.
