OREGON OFFICIAL NADS LARGE SALMON CATCH Portland, Or., Sept. 15. The vig orous Interstate war which Is now raging along the Columbia assumed spectacular proportions this morning when Master FPh Warden Harry C. McAllister, of Oregon, opened a mart and played the role of fishmonger In the door of a boxcar at the Union de pot. McAllister, iu connection with his arrest of F A. and T. J. Seu fcrt at The Dalles last night, con fiscated about two tons of salmon, which tho fishermen hud caught on the Washington side. These were tho fish which McAllister disposed of, and the proceeds, about $120, less freight and costs, went to swell tho state hatchery fund. F, A. Seufert, one of the two sal mon kings of the upper river, says the act of confiscation was grand larceny, and he declares he will have the Master Fish Warden arrested on that charge Mr. McAllister, how ever, took the precaution to secure leeal advice on the point, so that the fishermen who have been violat Ing the law will not he able to check. mate his future moves In this Inter esting chess game now being played. Police Confess Defeat. Oakland, Sept., 14. The police have finally admitted that they were unable to solve the mystery of the murder of Mrs. Alice Donohue, on June 11, in Emeryville. Last week Captain Peterson was given a letter written by Joseph Berry, the woman's former consort, to Daniel Donohue, which reached Oakland after the latter's sensational suicide. It was taken from the post office by Deputy Public Admlnlstra tor Flood. Tho letter Is from Knob, Shasta county, and bears date of September 4, and in it Berry asks Donohue to tell everybody who the mnrdnred woman was and to make public the fact that she was not his wife, threatening, if he did not do so, he would himself notify all the lodges and newspapers. One quota tion in particular from the letter Is considered pertinent. It Is: "I thought that such a thing would happen a long time-ago, since the last time I -cen her, on the 20th duy of April. 1901. at Forty-sixth street, Oakland." This had reference to tho murder of the woman. William Rarrlay l under arrest at Aliui as, Cal., barged with the murder of F. O.

About 200 members ot the society aud a number of their friends gatheied for the event.

Mrs. Lord lived on the old Coe place In 1852 aud knew Mrs. Coe, tho mother of the Coe boys, who at one time owued all the property that now con stitutes tho town of Hood River. Now at an Rdvanced ' age, her talk was ot bur early life here aud its hardships and was full of Interest to old Union. Other visitors from out of town wero Mr. and Mrs. A. II.

GOOD ROADS ITHESLOGAN TWO BIG MEETINGS ARRANGED FOR Commercial Club Takes Inltlalhe and Invites Prominent Advocates of letter Heads to Urate Here The regular meeting of the Commer cial Club was held Monday evening with a good attendance. In the ab sence ot President A. A. Jayoe Vice Piesident Truman Putler presided, and after the minutes ot the previous meeting bad been approved, Secre tary P. 8. Davidson announced that the most impoitant mattter to come before the meeting was in regard to the arrangements uecessary for tbe good roads meeting, which will be held here Saturday, September 19. Mr. Davidson stated that tbe club bad been requested by the Portland Commercial Club to set a date fot tbe meeting aud that prominent speakers wouldibe sent here for the meeting to address it. The olub was also request ed to make a contribution of 1150 to the f 10,0.10 fund wbioh is being raised iu the state to exploit tl e good toads iu Oregou aud to defiay tbe expense of drafting legislation and for other legitimate expenses that will be nec essary to bring the good loads move- meut to a successful issue. The sec retary stated that the amount asked for had already been guaianteed by the directors ot tbe olub aud that they asked the earnest oooperation of tbe club members and others in mak ing the good roads meeting a big auo- oess. He stated that In his correspond ence with Tom Riohardson the latter bad suggested tbat if the merchants here could be induced to close for an bout, say from two to three o'clock, on tbe afternoon ot the meeting, be thought tbat it would mean a rousing meeting aud also give the movement prestige all over the Btate. Judge Scott and Judge Webster, two prominent, well informed aud consid ered the most praolioal good roads men in tbe state, will be ptesent to address tbe meeting. Chairman Butler asked what those present thought about tbe proportion of closing tbe business places for an hour Saturday afternoon, saying tbat he knew it presented some very awk ward features, but I hought If it oould be accomplished it would mean tbe assured success of the meeting. In response Chas. Hail said tbat be was entbuslastio for better roads at Hood River, in tact be thought It was tbe most important question before tbe people of tbe val ey at tbe present time. He wanted to see a good big meeting but was ratber doubtful if tbe merchants oould be induoed to olose their stores on Saturday afternoon. Chas. T. Early thought it would be a big thing for tbe meeting and also a feather in tbe cap of tbe town to let other plaoes know that Hood River business men bad taken suttioleut in terest in tbe good roads movement to suspend business for an hour. He didn't want any hardship worked on the business men or tbelt patrons,but if tbey oould arrange it would like to see them close. Henry Smith, president of tbe mer chants association, said it would be ratber ditlloult to get tbe business aieu to agiee to close on Saturday af ternoon, bat was willing to be one of tbe committee to asoettain tbe wishes of tbe business men in tbe matter. R. 13. Bragg, who was present, also thought it would be ditlloult to get the people of the stores even for an hour on Saturday afternoon. On motion of Mr. Early a motion was carried to appoint a committee of merchants to take the matter up and the chair appointed Henry Smith, R. U. Bragg, Frauk A. Cram, Geo. W. Thomson and J. II. Gill. A motion also prevailed to bold two meetings Instead of one. Tbe after noon meeting will be called at 2 p. tu, aud the evening meeting at 8. At a meeting of tbe metohants asso ciation held Tuesday evening, at which the proposition to close tbe stores for an hour was disoussed, It was decided tbat it would not be piao ticable to suspend business or au hout on Saturday. A letter calling attention to tbe fact that Hood River ought to be repre sented with an exbibir, at tbe Alaska-Yukon-Paoiflo exposition, from Presi dent Newetl, of the; State Board of Horticulture, was read and referred to the publicity committee, who were instructed to oonsult witb tbe county commissioners in regard to an appro priation to bear tbe expense. H. B. Langille, secretary of tbe Mt. Hood Development League, who waa present, said be thought tbe residents of the upper valley would he glad to co-operate In making an exhibit at tbe Seattle exposition. Repoits from tbe publioity commit ter showed tbat it is distributing a toad deal rf literature and la receiv ing many inquiries by letter asking for information about Hood River. Its reports also show that the adver tising campaign which it has been carrying on for tome time has been productive of good results and has brought a number of people here who have invested or gone into business.
