most housekeepers at this

the weather has been a little

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. Josephine coonty ia therefore
on the improve inthe matter of its
public finance a well as.iuduotriaiiy

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. Kespectfltily yours
(Signed) OSCAR S. STRAUS, Secretary

Mrs. C W. Bogae, who lives on
Sardine creek, about six miles from

experience last Monday night. While

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.
