Tho strike of lloRiie river fisher
men at the nioutu of t;to river has
been settled after a week's walkout.
The glll-netters' union demands J1.50
a salmon regardless of size . The Ma
cleays were willliiR to pay this for
large flfh, but asserted that the high
price of can and equipment made it
Impossible to operate at a profit at the
figure for run of fish, which do not
average very large, and that the can
nery would close entirely or be operat
ed with fish caught by seining.
After a week's Idleness, the men re
turned to work at the scale agreed
upon at the opening of the season. Jl
per fish caught with gear furnished
by the cannery, and $1,25 for fish
caught when the fisherman uses his
own gear. I'luler the prlng agree
ment, the Maeleays, who referended
the Mil prohibiting seining and set
nets, agreed with the union that they
wotild not attempt the use of seines
for the two years during the Chinook
season, unless forced to l.y excessive
demands of the union. Mr. Maeieay
asserting that the company had much
rather depend upon the gill-netters
for the fish provided they could be1
secured at a live and let live price,
and thus eliminate the annual fisher
men's war. In the late fall use of the
seine for siiversides may be resorted
to. as they are not taken by gill-netters.
requiring a smaller sited mesh
than that use and being cheap fish,
are unprofitable to the fishermen.
Orants Pass fishermen have been
shippins about lCoti pounds of Chi
nopks a d:iy. The average catch at
the mouth of the river during June
was H0i0 pounds of Cl.inools a day
The Scaberg cannery is closed, being
In the bankruptcy court.
There was some fishing in the jaws
of the riier at the beginning of the
season, for the Shoemaker ' dead-line"
was never legally established. The
dead-line was re-established this
spring and since then there have been
no iolafior.?, the union ordering Its
members to o'-ey the law.
Cement pun foundations concealed under tennis courts.
Instigation ot strikes ly men paid with iierman mono.,
in various industries, including lumbering and mining.
Presence of organized reservists now in detention
camps.
Shooting and stabbing of guards at munition works.
Organization of riots (East St. Louis, for instance.)
Spies among attaches of neutral embassies in Wash
ington. Furtherance of propaganda by German-language so
cialist, anarchist and Hearst newspapers.
Wiivless plants defying the government's dismant
ling orders.
Incendiary fires in mills and dairies and in western
grain fields.
Explosion of bombs in navy yards, arsenals and fac
tories. Sending of code messages disguised as private cable
grams. Employment of adventuresses to learn government se
crets. Poisoning of live stock.
Intelligence eonveved to Germany of movement of
American fleet and troops movements.
Selling of court-plaster containing leprosy, tetanus and
other disease germs to cause epidemics.

War is the business of German v. Until it is made the
business of the United States and evervone, including ron-
trress. realizes the stern necessity of decisive action to
avert national calamity, the end will not be in sight.
The government is endeavoring to stamp out the spies
Secret service agencies are being grouped in one central
service, co-operating with the secret service of allies. ire
less messages are being picked up and legislation for cable
control asked. Numerous seditious publications are
harred from the mails, suspected diplomatic agents de

agents mulcted, arrested, convicieu ana imprisoiiea.
The punishment has not been severe enough. The spies
should 1h hanged as thev are detected.
Construction of a new fish hatch
ery to replaco the old structure which
was fast decaying, 'was begun this
week at the mouth of Elk creek by
Hugh Mitchell, state superintendent
of hatcheries for the I". S. bureau of
fisheries. Mr. Mitchell, who has
spent the week at the hatchery, re,
turned Friday to Clackamas, after
letting contracts for material and get
ting the work under way. The old
building was built by the late It. D.
Hume, and was owned by his succes
sor, the Macleans, who have gjven the
government an Indefinite lease or. the
property for a nominal consideration
The new building will be 40x100
feet, with globe dome, have cement
floor, rustic exterior and ceiled In
terior. It will contain 100 troughs
with capacity for three million finger-
lings. Pond capacity for three mil
lion more will be constructed outside
and an extra water wheel constructed
next year, modern in equipment. It
will be completed in time for this sea
son salmon egg-taking.
The hatchery during the past year
hatched and liberated 1.600,000 Chi
nook salmon fry, 1,123,000 steelhead
fry, and 2S.000 cutthroat trout fry,
the eggs all being taken front the
Rogue at Elk creek. The total of
fish eggs at the Appleeate hatchery
was four times as large and the
shortage at Elk creek is blamed by
Mr. Mitchell upon the defective fish
wav at Anient dam.
The egg take, both of salmon and
trout this season was far below the
average at Elk creek station and
above the average at Arplegate, show
ing that while the fish were plentiful
in the lower river, below the Ament
dam, comparatively few were in the
upper river above the dam." said Mr.
Mitchell. "I have visited the Ament
dam repeatedly and seldom seen the
fishways working well. It is impossi
ble, without constant regulation, to
keep the writer in the north fishway.
and I have frequently found the lad
der intentionally blocked, evidently
by poachers to hold the fish below the
dam. The south fishway as wrongl
constructed and hard for the fish to
find. It also has been found blocked.'

THE State Highway commission, which before the bond
election promised to proceed with the paving of the
Siskiyou section of the l'acitic nigliway. now announce
that the highway will be macadamized instead of paved
A sanuile of this macadamizing was furnished last
vear. when instead of continuing the four miles of pave
inent previously laid, the money appropriated was spent
in macadamizing and proved a failure. It did not perma
nently benefit the highway, and the money was wasted.
The same expenditure would have doubled the paved sec
tion and made a permanent improvement.
The hinhwav has been graded for three vears. It has
stood three winters' storms, the fills have settled and th
roadlvd is in good shape for paving. The monev to be
spent this year in macadamizing would bring the paved
section over the summit.
People voted for the b.-nd issue in the expectation that
the money would le spent in permanent paved highway
:.nd lbvre we have the roiinnission going back to the oliso
lete, discredited system of makeshift macadam that will
not stand auto traffic and on which millions of dollars
have already Ken wasted.
The highway commission Is letting contracts for paved
wads elsewhere new roads at that. hv does it not tut
fill its promises and pave the Siskivou road, instead of frit
tering awav the monev in temporary work?
lVetter one mile of paved highway than a dozen of
makeshift macadam.
