IS NOT OVER YET BAY'S DAM IN ROGUE BIVEE, 13 CAUSING NO EIH) OP COM ; PIAINT. Citizens of Oold Hill Petition the Gr ernor for Immediate Relief From the Alleged Nuisance Pish, Dying Be low the Obstruction. ;; . (From Saturday Daily.) : According to a petition which was received in j the oSice of Governor Chamberlain S yesterday afternoon, k seems that the trouble, over the dam across the Eogne river at Tolo, Oregon, known as tho Kay dam, has not yet been settled and there is no telling what will transpire in that connection next. ; . ;-. ' -f , ;J r . I Governor Chamberlain is in receipt f a petition from the citizens of Gold plill, Oregon tearing the signaturesi of rorty-ono people, setting forth ' a com plaint against what is known as Bay's dam in the Itogue river, which has formed an obstruction m that river and prevents the salmon from ascending the river to the spawniag grounds. The petition rom plains that hundreds of fish are dying and being killed below the dam, on account of their inability of getting over the same, , by reason of which their carcasses contaminate the water to such an extent as to make it of no use for drinking and domestic purposes, and threatening the health of the community in general. - Govern er Chamberlain is out f the city; so it is impossible to ascertain what action he will take in tbe matter. 1 The petition referred to, addressed to the Governor, is ia subhiance as fol lows: -l , : . 'The undersigned citizens of Gold Hill,- Oregon, desire to enter our pro test against the existing condition ef things at what is known as Iiay's dam, at Tolo, Oregon. H : "We do rot aver that the present fish ladder lis entirely worthless, but we claim that it is wholly inadequate to allow more than -a very small number of salmon to proceed up the "Rogue, riv er to their 1 spawning grounds. Thou sand:! of fish arc daily killed at this point and their decomposed carcasses float down the river poluting the water to a very serious extent, especially for this town, whose supply of drinking water and domestie purposes is taken froiu the river, and thus the health of this eomnninity is greatly endangered. "Kit her,-; additional' fish ladders should be provided at once,: or the ob struction removed." i Governor Chamberlain is also in re eeipt of a report irora Superintendent W. K. Williams of the Kogue river hatchery, through the agency of Master Fish Wardei ii Van Dusen touching np- on the sanid qnestion, the text of whieh follows "1 can sa v at the present time cvery- thing is goi !ng all right at Ray's dam; they are getting along very well at the .. 4S..' 3. rf . ri .1.

Important i Developments Expected Dallas Railroad Project In Near Future. in (From Saturday's Daily.) "To be or not to be." that is; the qixstion which is troubling the inirtds of Salem and J 'oik county ptibhe in ref erence to the possibility of the propos ed, that is, mueh-lalked-of Salem-Dallas -electric railway., Tho matter has been hanging fire for several weeks yet the possibility of its realization seems quite as remote as it did in the.begin ning, that is to the mind of the. .unin formed. S .. .. The wholo thing has, for the past few weeks.1 been in a state of dormancy but something definite may be expected to develop in the near future. Perhaps the most important develop ment in connection with the proposed railway project which has come to pass of late was the significant Tesence of Mr. L.'Cerlinger and Mr. George T. 5erlinger, "the former tho president and thij latter the manager of the Dallas Falls City railway, i in this city last night, which gentlemen took their de parture on the overland last night for Albanv. 1 hese gentlemen were swn by a Statesman reporter List night but nothing could be obtained from cither of tbem so far as the' railroad was con cerned. .' " . When questioned as to what connec tion or bearing their visit had upon the electric road they both, declared that there was absolutely no significance in .their visit except that they were simp ly in the city to inquire into the mat ter of the feasibility of the adoption of granite, to be found in Linn county, in great quantities, for street building purposes. ; ARRESTED FOR ROBBERY. (From Saturday's Daily.) Yesterday a livervman j from Port land by tho name of J. ,11. Peterson, went into rrank P. Talkmgton s saloon and asked for a drink of booze. He had ci:n in on the same errand the day be fore and had been handed a bottle of whiskey from which-be helped himself and the second time he thought he not iced that the bottle bad been refilled. He charged the house with having fill ed the bottle op with inferior' whiskey which George Patterson, the bar keep er, denied. "I'll bet you ten dollors thatyon filled the bottl np," said Peterson.: "IH take Vou," said Pat tcrson. Each laid his tan down on the conntcr of the lwir and 1 Peterson took possession of both nnd Jeft tbe saloon Hence the warrant for his arrest, which Patterson swore out for him in Record er .Tudah 's ronrt. Peterson was pnt under $M bonds until Tuesday when he will appear for trial. , , : STATE PAIR CAMPERS. Mr. Albert Tozier to Have Charge of the Grounds Again, and Will Look After Campers.

' V -r-.vi- TO REORGANIZE BABBERS OP SALEM WILL AFFIL IATE wrrn the union OF PORTLAND. Object of New System Is to Centralize all the Union Strength in Order that the Organization May Become Perma nent in This; State. (From Saturday's Daily.) Steps are onca more being taken to ward the ' unionizing" of Salem, so far as the barber profession is con cerned. A meeting was held last ev ening, attended; by; all but a very few barbers ef this city and the few who failed to" attend, it may be said, were those who hail previous engagements which could not be cancelled for that purpose and resolutions wero adopted the sense of which was strongly in favor ef a reorganization. Instead of trying to, supjwrt a local union here the purpose of tht last move is to get all of the stranded "barbers back into the fold, that is, to become members of the union again, to 'affiliate, with the Port land union. I One year ago Salem was thoroughiv unionized no far as the barber trade was concerned, but on account of trou ble among themselves and other subse quent complications, the union was rent asunder ami ho movement, up to the present time, j has since been mado to get together airain ia harmonious ac cord. On account of the annual con vention of the International Barbers' Association, whieh will be held in Louisville, Kentucky, 6n October 4, of this year, and a delegation of five will attend from Oregon, it is especially desired that the whole,, state become once more unionized in order that a good report -can lie' made by tho Ore gnn delegation upon that important oc casion. Secretary T. M. Leabo, of the Portland barbers' union, came up last evening for the sole purpose of getting the Salem barbers together, to re-organize and afmWte'wifn 'rbe loHlnnd Un ion. Mr. Ijeabo, irt - diseuKsing the mat ter last night after t meetim. said: ."The principal trouble which has been experienced with the barbers in the past is that they have tried to sup ort unions in every city or town of any importance in the state. There is a considerable amount of expense at tached to a tin ion of Ibis kind and it is a mystery j to ine how they have sur vived so bmg 'as thev have. Under the system which we propose, to re-organize tbe state there is no question but what tbe barbers' union 'nill 1h a permanent institution and wilt thrive and prosper in ine i hi lire. "The barlxrs of Astoria, Vanconver, Wash., and Oregon 'ity all belong to the union and ' a Initiate with the Port land union, and it is our purpose of admitting Salem, Albanv, Kngene and all up the valley to the southern border of the state, into the Portland union if it is possible to do so. The Portland union has plenty of money in the treas ury, upwards of .$2000, and all other towns in the state affiliating with our union will get the lxniefit of this cap ital and thus add strength to the or ganization, which has heretofore Wen lacking. When completely organized under the new system the strength of the barbers' union tn Oregon will reach between 1500 and when we will be able to cope with any question which might arise in the natural course of events. "The national organization of bar bers, according to the last general re port, is over 65,lK0 strong in tho Unit ed States, embracing about 50 per cent or tne liartorg of America. The International Association con vention will be held in Louisville en October 4, but the delegations will start from the coast alout September X, visiting the St. Louis Fair and other points of peneral interest in different parts of the West, Middle West and South. I am well pleased with the manner in which the barbers of Salem turned out to the meeting last night. and I predict ; that, as soon as onr new supplies arrive, which will be witnin aiwmt ten diys, almost every barber in this citv will -become- a member of the union once again." THE GRAVEL BAR CASE. , (From Saturday's Daily.) The attorneys in the gravel bar ease for an Injunction' against Hon. John Minto and his sons, Hon.' J. W. Minto, If. C. Minto and 11. P.

AND WATER - COMPANY IS CONSIDERING , i- PROPOSTTION. Talk of Bringing Silver Creek by Direct Condcit to Salem Manager Welch Talks Abont the Matter Win Make Surreys at Once, r (From Saturday's i Daily.) Is Salem to have two water syste'msf - Manager Welch, f " the Citizens Light tliid Tracton Comiay, says his company is prxaringL to' put mountain water into Salem " by direet - conduit cither from the Saatiam, river or from etlvsj Creek fall ll r. Mr. W1V accompanied Mayor F. W. Waters to Silver Creek on Thurwlay, where they went to make an examina tion of that stream witira view to de ciding if it carried sufficient, water for thej purpose of supplying the city of Salem during the entire year, and Manager Welch came back fully satis fied that there was aa abundane ; of the vry best water lu the world there. "How about it, Mr. Welch f" was asked yesterday. " " . "We are ftadjr to look into the nit-; ter of water for fWem, at least," -Hid j that irentleman. "1 saw a line striam at Jlver Creek falls yesterday, anf lo not doubt that it imperfectly practic able to bring fiat water' here, and I shall go to Portland loswrroV at tend a meeting of our 'direeff foV the purpose of considering the niatfcr. J "I found that the, creek which is at its lowest stage nu,' ha a strong flow of water, but I do not fbwbt that we would have to make a reservoir there. There would be no difliculty oz that, however, aa the pfwt below the falls h a natural reservoir, almost, as it is, and by the construction of s short dam, wo oiild make a reservoir that would contain six thousand million gallons i water. The consumption of Salem at present is more or less four million gal lons per day, I think. "Of course that quantity is not usca all the year, but is perhaps during the summer months. The ool -there": is abont 2,700 feet squaro and the propo sition would mean a reservoir 200 feet deep. . "We will make surveys as soon as pratieable, and I shall also go to the Santiam and see what there is to be seen there. Of coin se we would want to give the lest service, and then there are a number of other things to be taken into onsidcration Tbe question! of power for Salem will also bo taken up by us in this same relation, perhaps, i and it is possible we may do something ! in that line at the same time." J "What about the other ompany and its rights here!" was asked of Mr. Welch. ' "We do not know if-tho other com pany wants tosell its plant," replied Mr. .Welch, "but our company may propose the purchase' of the. present plant. That is a matter, however, on which wo are not prepared to say any thing at present. 'I do 'not believe that tho Salem Water Company has a monopoly, and do not know yet that tho city council would entertan our propositon for a franchise, but sec do reason why it should not do so. We preferred to have said nothing -at all about this for tbe present, but as the story is out it is "best, o state our jmi sition clearly. We do not care to prom ise a lot of things until we are ready to do them. We;-have 4to make a good many figures yet and see if there is anything in the profsition for our company. We will have our surveys made in a short time, and I will go to the Santiam next week; with engineers to look over the field thcic:" , A proposition to l,ring this water from Silver Creek falls was up in this city about seven yearsi'ago, and an. ap plication was made to the city council for a franchise by the Silver Creek Falls Power and .Improvement Com pany, but the council refused to enter tain the application, and the next year the present water, company , was granted an extension 'of its franchise for thyrty years. .
