LEDOCHOWSKY OF HE ITS HOME, Feb. 11 Father Ledoch ovvsky was today elected general of tho Society of Jesus in succession to Father Francis Xavlcr Wernz. TIIE commission on industrial relations has dono excel lent work in its probing oL" the strike situation in vari ous States and by its examination into the huge philan thropic foundations by which those who, lmvhii filched vastly more than they can use, have made a conscience. fund restitution of a small portion to societv. The hearings are interesting chiefly because they re flect tlie attitude of captains of industry toward their employes. The typical attitude of the directors of the groat corporations is that they do not in any way concern themselves or feel any responsibility regarding their workmen, but leave them to the tender mercies of whom soever is employed as manager, and industrial war or peace depends nearly altogether upon the breadth of vis ion of the manager, who is usually valued according to the dividends he returiis. Some of these financiers arc beginning, to awaken to the fact that conditions which creato the billionaire also create the pauper, and that society is realizing that such Conditions cannot long continue, and that any civilization which fosters such inequality must necessarily crumble as all such civilizations have crumbled in tho past. The tes timony of Daniel Guggenheim proves this. The philan thropic lounuations are m tneinseivcs proot or. tins, as tncy seek to assist the sufferers and perpetuate the cause. But one of the great creators of industrv touched upou the canker that is gnawing at the heart of socfety, but one showed a grasp of the underlying cause, and that was Henry lord, who has given society not only an auto mobile for the masses, but shocked the ruling caste by set ting an example in the fair treatment of labor. Mr. Ford stated as tho cause of industrial unrest, monopoly of natural resources, -which should be the com mon heritage of all. lie said: "The government should own the mines and other natural resources, which are the foundation of industry ond labor." He includes water power among the resources and believes in government ownership ot tronsporttvhon lines. He 1111101808 absolute free trade and states that his employes, the highest paid in America, would be better off under it. He declares that poverty is the source of crime and that any convict can be reformed if given work at good wages, lie has moreover shown how to bring about improved conditions for workmen in a practical manner and rendered the arti ficial work of philanthropic foundations unnecessary. Land is also a .natural resource as much as the mines or water power. Millions of acres of land are withheld from use, while millions of people arc on the verge of starvation. The value ot land is created largely by soci etv, which in turn reaps none of the benefits it creates, which go to land owners. The growth of the community transforms the land owner into a millionaire, though he himself has contributed nothing to the increased value of his, property. Instead of taking this unearned increment as taxation to support government, we tax the industry and enterprise ot the people who create the increases value of the land and present the increase to monopoly. Nearly all of our social and industrial ills, our great fortunes and our poverty, can bo traced to private mon opoly of natural resources, the source of all wealth a sub ject all of flie philanthropic foundations "will consistently ignore, as they themselves owe their existence to it and were created to tinker with the results and divert attention from the source. How Fish Were Exterminated in Clackamas; Situation Menaces Rogue The generals of tho Society ot Jesus, tho formal namo of organlza tloti ot tho Jesuits, aro elected for llfo by the general congregation of this order, which Is one of monastic origin. Tho general of the society Is known as tho "black pope." Father Wenu died Agust 20 , In Home a fow hours after the death of Tope Plus. Anxiety over tho war 13 Bald to havo hastened Ills end. Then Fines, the assistant Jesuit Uunernl for France, was selected to head tho order, which he did until the present election.

'- . - - Tho following argument regarding tho extermination of fish in Clacka mas river, a situation threatening Itoguo river, was mndo boforo tho committees on fishing and fisheries at Salem by Walter F. Ilackus of Portland. ' Twenty years ago tho Clackamas river had a heavy run of spring Chi nook salmon. These fish wero a dls. tlnct variety, and fishermen on tho lower rivers could readily distinguish thorn from the regular Columbia river run. They canio early In tho season, and ascended tho Clackamas river to Its very source. They woro a hardy lot of fish, vory heavy for their length, and of tho finest qual- ity. llshod a salmon hatchery GO mllen up tho Clackamas river, in tho hopes of partially restoring tho salmon run, but tho heavy net fishing on tho low. or river prevented nil but n fow fish from reaching it. Furthermore, un der tho system thon In forco nt the hatchery, tho small fish wcro liber ated while still retaining their yoko sacks. in this holploss condition tho Dolly Varden trout took caro of most of tho baby salmon, so that tho hatchery's work helped but very lit tle, and tho salmon run in tho Clack amas continued to dwindle year by year. About eight years ago a law was passed by the legislature closing tho Clackamas river entirely to net fish ing for salmon, but this law was a thoroughly they had boon cleaned out, I will mention nn Instance: In Juno I visited thu government hatchery, which Is now located on tho Columbia nt lllvor Mills station, Tho man In charge had been waiting since early April for tho chlnook snl mou to reach his racks but, nt tho llmo of my visit, ho hnd about 70 Unit In sight. These 70 fish wcro all that reached tho station tho en tire season, and they represented tho solo remainder of tho onca famous run ot Clackamas salmon, Wu must put tho bhuno whoro'U belongs. It might bo sntd that ninny of these fish woro taken In tho Co lumbia, but this not true. Tho Clackamas fish woro tho earliest of tho run. and usually reached, tholr liatlvo stream boforo tho not fishing was thoroughly bogun on tho Colum bia. There Is only one answer to tho problem tho Clncknmns salmon has boon exterminated by not fishing, and the snlmon ot the Itoguo river will go likewise if tho upper river is not protected. The snlmon con stand tho toll taken of their numbers In tide water, but to fish tho spawn ing streams means extinction. Practically nil our mountain streams nro now closed to net fish ing. Hood river, Sandy river nud tho ClacknmaH river nro closed entirely. All the Tillamook county streams have net limits established at tldo wator. Only tho Itoguo river and tho tfmpqua river aro open to not fishing on thu riffles. Tho Umpuua stands the drain fair ly well, as Its rough character will not permit drift fishing. It can only bo fished with set nets, and oven theso are causing a great 'decrease In the Umpqua chlnook. Hut thu ltogue river at Grants Pass Is al most u counterpart at tho Clackamas. It has the same long stretch ot open riffles where gill nets can bo run for miles without taking them out of the water, and Its salmon will vanish the same way as those of the Clackamas unless net fishing 1 4. prohibited above tide water.

Miss Townc Inst evening munnged to introduce nnother bill, one providing for on net to uinko indemnity insurance compan ies panics to suits in which persons frcck to recover damages from thoc protected by indemnity insurance. Two other bills woro nlso introduced. For many years tho net fishermen I Joke. Fishermen deliberately vlo pursued theso fish In tho Ciackamua latod tho statute, and openly boasted Without mercy and with no thought of j that no vote for Illegal fishing could a closed season. They commcnced.be obtained in tholr county. Thoy fishing when tho fish first made j must have known what they wore their appearance in the river and kept .talking about, because the few cases It, up until the run wan over for tho brought to court were dismissed on season. Nature has provided a cortaln lml unco for all things, and It Is evident that salmon In .fresh water wcro uennt to reproduce themselves. It 10,000 adult fish spawn in a certain stream, it means that approximate))' the, 84IUO number will return to tho sanio htreain four years later. Although ach female fish dyposlts between two and three thousand eggs tho Ipsa Is almost unbelleve able. Vast quantities ot eggs aro eaten by tho numbers of trout which aro always hanging around tho spawning beds. A great percentage of the eggs aro not thoroughly fer tilised, and aftor hatching, tho help less young fish furnish food for many large trout, Tho fact that in former times the run was about tho same each year shows conclusively that the vjut amount of eggs doposlted on spawn ing beds did not result in any In crease ot fish. Naturally, thero was a gradual flecreaso in tho run of Claokmuas chlnook. About twolvo years ago tlm United SUten Uiirtfuu of FluhyriUB w(o some pretext, and almost an many fish woro taken as during (ho for inor opon season. Two ear later, through tho of forte of Geo. C, nrownoll, tho loglla ture again opened the Clackamas to net fishing. Once more tho pet men, who were now moro numerous than over, proceeded to drag out neurly every salmon which entered the river, Deals we're hauled up the river 20 nilles in order to do a tho rough Job on the way down. liacji year tho run grew lighter, and many fishermen gavo up tho work, remarking, in disgust, that the river was fished out, Tho hatchery was moyed down the river 30 miles in tho hopos of getting some seed fish in the lower region. Then three years ago tho river was attain closed to net fishing by order of tho State Fish and Game Commis sion. Fiye years earlier such an ac tion would' havo aroused a storm of protest from tho Clackamas county net fishermen, but at this tlnio thero was no opposal, Why? Decauso thero -waa nothing to fight for tho brIuiou were gone, ami to huqwIiow IIOSTON, Feb. 11.
