Omaha, Neb., has 112 clocks In his home. of this rtver they have a monopoly on commercial fishing. The pound age taken In there has dropped con tinuously since 1930 from about 1, 000.000 pounds a year to' less than 200.000 pounds last year. X have nothing against commercial fishing in commercial streams, but the Rogue river Is not a commercial stream, Tourists profit More "We have built up the tourist in dustry," Chlnnock continued, "which is large compared to the Insignificant number employed in commercial fishing. Golh Beach at the mouth of the river would be tetter off to build I up the tourist business. The Rogue was never Intended to be a commer cial stream. It is not large enough.' Senator Stringer supplemented Chlnnock's defense of the bill, stat ing that "this bill should not be re ferred to the people because the peo ple care nothing about the situation People In general over the state have formed the habit of voting 'no' on the question when they don't know anything about it, and are not con cerned with it." Dunn I'rges Passage "I have fished in me Rogue rtver before many of you here were born," Senator Dunn of Jackson county de clared. "I don't like to see that fish Ing paradise ruined by commercial fishing. The few people In Curry county who want the river left open are only a small per centage of those affected by this legislation. We're not taking away the livelihood from lot of poor people. There are only 40 of them engaged In the business and all of them do not live in that part of the country." Goss closed the argument with the statement that "these people want the river closed as a matter of adver tising so that they can say to the world at large that the river is closed to commercial fishing."

Weed Out Legislation Quietly, house and senate leaders were sifting out legislation of Im portance still pending and moving It on its way toward final action. Minor bills of a controversial nature were being diplomatically sidetrack ed by withdrawal and the mill-run of measures was being bottled up In committees or disposed of by Indefi nite postponement. Aside from the appropriation meas ures, all of which will be in the house hopper by tonight or Friday morning, there is little of major Im portance to clog up the machinery. The principal stumbling block is the lengthy and Involved bus and truck bill, embracing amendments to the existing law, on which the house committee spent 50 days. It has not yet passed the house and still has to run the gauntlet of the senate committee and be placed on third reading In the upper chamber. For once, however, the large and small truck owners appear to be sat isfied, but there were some members who still forecast a battle over the measure that will hold the lawmakers In session Into next weex. Would Quit Saturday. Upon them a majority of the mem bership was aervlng notice that, truck bill or no truck bill, sdjoumment wss going to be taken Saturday night. This may mean stopping the clock at midnight and labc.-iivt on well into Sunday, but any attempt to further prolong the session will likely find the prolonger without the necessary quorum Monday morning. It was predicted. Unemployment relief and old se pension legislation hss been disposed of up to the apparent ability of the state to pay. Amendments to the Knox liquor control act have been passed by both house snd senate, and are now in conference on minor matters of amendments made by the senate. The liquor revenue act. with Its increased taxes on beer and wines, la due to be reported back to the huuse tor action on final passage Friday. Speedy action by the senate will be neces sary to slide the measure, upon the enactment of which hinges the bulk of unemployment relief revenues dur ing the next two years, through by Saturday night. Opposl 1 1 on to the 1 1 q uor re ven uc act la being heard both irom the brewery Interest and the League of Oregon Cities.

COR V ALUS (Spt.l Weeds and ! moss in the lawn can be eliminated , to considerable extent In the early spring by use of a number of chenil- I cal preparations which may be mixed ! at home. An effective weed formula Is being used at Oregon State col- ' lege where it is applied to dande lions and other fleshy rooted plants by means of a pointed stick. As described by A. L. Peck, head of the landscape architecture depart ment, the material Is made up as fol lows: Take one-quarter ounce of white arsenic and one-half gallon of soft water and boll well. Add an other gallon of soft water and one third ounce of caustic soda and boll again. This forms a stock solution used straight for killing individual weeds, but which may be diluted with four parts of water to sprinkle on gravel walks or drives to keep down weed growth. Caretakers on the college campus put a long wire ball on a tin can which holds the solution. They dip the point of a sharp soft wood stick In the solution and then plunge the stick down into the crown of the dandelion, which dies In two or three days. The solution Is highly poison- out and Is treated accordingly, the surplus being stored In glass under lock. Moss may be eradicated bv raking it well to remove the thick patches, and then spraying with a solution of ammonium sulphate dissolved at the rate of 33 ounces In a gallon of water. The most effective way la to apply during a period of clear wea ther, using a pressure sprayer, though fair results may be had by either sprinkling it on or even scattering the material In dry crystalline form. Ammonium sulphate Is a common commercial fertiliser available from most feed and seed dealers. It helps the grass, while discouraging weed growth. If applied too strong It may cause 'some browning of the grass temporarily. It Is not as satisfactory for use on clover lawns as some other fertilizers.
