Fish and Game Laws.
Flat-Salary Law.
Several fishing laws were enacted for
the purpose of guarding against the tak
ing of fish on spawning grounds, and to
encourage the execution of the laws. An
nppiopriation of $8000 was made for
purchase and maintenance of a patrol
boat for,Masler Fish Warden, so that he
will be able to pursue and capture per
sons who violate or are suspected of vio
lating the law.
Numerous game bills were passed bv

ing those prohibiting the sale of game
and providing a gun license tax of $1 for
residents of Oregon and $f0 for non-resi
dents, with the exception that persons
may hunt upon their own land without
paying a license.
A flat salary law was enacted, taking
effect in 1907, and requiringstateofficers
to pay into the State Treasury all fees
and perquisites now collected by them.
The salaries prescribed are ; Governor
$5000 ; Secretary of State, $4500 ; State
Treasurer, $4500 ; Attorney-General,
$3600. No change was made in the com
pensation of the State Printer.
A fraternal insurance law was passed,
requiring all fraternal insurance societies
to make annual reports to the Secretary
ofState, showing their financial condi
tion. New fraternal societies must be
organized upon a safe basis before they
can issue policies and must adopt the
rates of the National Fraternal Con
gress. The purpose of the law is to pre.
vent the organization of fraternal socie
ties upon a cheap but unstable basis,
and to protect the older societies from
the sapping influences of the new com.
panies offering cheap rates.
The act passed is the one recommended
by the National Fraternal Congress.
Some Measures Defeated
The Legislature defeated efforts to
make gambling a felony, to ninend the
local option law, to abolish ripirian
rights, to create Cascade County from
part of Wasco, to amend the census law
so as to make it more applicable to pre
sent needs, and to create a mining bu
reau.
In Aid of Irrigation.
An irrigation law was passed, grant
ing to the Government power to con
demn water right where necessary in the
construction of extensive reclamation
work. This measure also creates the
olfice of State Engineer and carries an
appropriation of $5900 for hydragraphic
survey work. The Government agrees
to spend dollar for dollar with the
slate in work of this kind, and the plan
is to make accurate surveys so that
definite information can be had regarding
available water supply in streams now-
used for irrigation.
The purpose of the surveys will be to
determine whether, after making allow
ance for all waler legally appropriated
by others.
The Klamath Lake grant ro the United
States Government was passed, whereby
the state cedes to the Government any
lake beds it may uncover by lowering
the water in lakes in Klamath County.
This concession to the Government is ex.
pected to exert a material influence in
inducing the Govcrnmenl to undertake
an extensive reclamation project by
which 300,000 acres of arid or swamp
land will eventually be made richly pro
ductive and capable of maintaining 25,-
000 inhabitants.
The Malheur irrigation district was
created, composed of nil the territory
embraced in the tract to be reclaimed by
the Government in the vicinity of Vale
Malneur County. The net gives the prop
erty-owners of the district power to is
sue bonds in the sum of $300,000 for the
purpose of raising money with which to
purchase; private water rights which
stand in the wav of the G ivernment
project. The purchase of these right» is
to be computed as an item in the total
cost of the Government's irrigation sys
tem. Bonds cannot be issued until voted

A deal was consuinaled Thursday by

Railroad and a tract of 70C3 acres of

William Reid, an extensive Michigan
lumber operator, the purchase pr ce be-
ing ¡in the neighborhood of $200.000.
Mr Reid purchased the property from
Robert Smith, F. S. Stanley. W. S. Dwin-
nell and 0. L. Stanley. Messrs. Smith
and F. S. Stanley are Portland capital
ists. Mr. Dwinnell lives in Minneapolis
and F. S. Stanley in Chippewa Falls.
Mr. Reid announces that he will form
a company to operate the railroad and
timber properties and will extend the
line of road into the Nehalem valley.
The Goble, Nehalem and Pacific is seven
miles long, extending from Goble, on the
Columbia River, to a point in Columbia
County, where the red fir tract included
in the sale is situated. It was promoted
about foul years ago bv Edward Can
non and R. C. Bell, who planned tn build
into the Nehalem valley. After construct
ing four miles of road, they encountered
financial difficulties, and the bondholders
foreclosed and sold the road to Smith,
Dwinnell and the Stanleys, who already
constituted the Columbia Timber Com
