during the elosed season by the can

When this bill, providing for the
purchase of a steam launch for the Mas
ter Fih Warden and his deputies, was
placed before the Legislature Mr. Van
.puses had staked a great deal upon
Its beeoraitg a law and fought hard to
tfeure its oassage. This done he had
bo farther fears of danger to its ulti
mate success as the Board of Fish Com
aiMi'uners, f which the GoverBor is a
member, had approve! his reeomnienda
tioa for the purchase of such a craft as
embodied in bis biennial report to the
board and the Legislature. He was
equally surprised and disappointed at
ihe action of the. Governor in vetoing
the measure.
"In discussing the different features
of my report to the board at the last
mating of la3t year, I ealled especial
attention and laid particular stress up
on the necessity of providing a steam
lacneh for patrolling the Columbia and
Willamette rivers and the board agreed
with m in the master," said Mr. Van
)upn. "With a swift launch I and my
deputies would be . able to cope with
the situation at all times, but without
one it is simply impossible for an ofll
tal to enforce the 'closed season laws
effectually. With a good boat we could
patrol both streams at irregular inter
t1 aad catch the fishing gear of the
Tiolafors of the law in operation before
tSiey knw we were in; the neighbor
hwJ. As it is now ih fish wardens
re at a great disadvantage. When
toe? start ont upon a tour of inspection
thtiT approach is heralded for miles
ahead. When they go over the ground
all It wU and there Is not so much as
a ttkisg pole in . sight. The steam
lauaeh, $aeh as. is used by the Wash
ipgtoa officials, is the only effectual
nl successful means of properly en
forcing the closed season laws. And
I wgret very much that the Governor
saw fit to disapprove of the measure."
.Mr. Van Iuen has been working
lard for the adoption of a law which
would provide him with the necessary
means of enforcing the fish 'protection
laws. And he expressed great dissp
- point mnnt . in. --having the act vetoed
when it had passed through all ofthe
(landers which he had anticipated for
it. When the eaonerymen and bankers
ef Astoria learned of the veto of the
Mi, and realizing the great need of
such a convenience for the fish wardens
tfcey promptly took the matter op them
selves with "the remlt that Mr, Van
lusen was notified by Cashier 8. B.
Cordon.-of the First National Bank, of
Astoria, that- he could go ahead and
procure trie l-ase of such a craft as he
wptijl.I require and rhatejie eannerymen

. The! last, session of ' the - Legislators
passed an act providing an appropria-,
tion of $15,000 for the establishment
of a, hatchery station on the Wallowa
river and the MeKenzie river, 10.000
ef which is to be devoted to the Wal
lows; river station and the balance to
that to be located, on the MeKenzie.
Although this act docs" not go into, ef
fect until the expiration of the ninety
days prescribed by law. Mr. Van Thi
sen was authorized by the board to go
ahead with the preliminary, work upon
the "Wallowa hatchery and he will make
arrangements to-begia .work immedi
ately. -He expects to have this hatchery
complete and Teady for operation in doe
season to take care of the- regular fall
taking of eggs upon, this stream. It
will require the full amount of the ap
propriation to build and , equio this
hatchery station ready for operation
Tlie station will be established in
what is known as the Wallowa canyon
aad upon this property which was et
aside i by the federal government for
the purpose. This property consists of
240 acres of government land and was
ceded to the state for hatchery purposes
at the instigation of Senator Fulton,
by Congress two year ago. The ca
pacity of the proposed hatchery is fig
ured at not less than 10,000,000 eggs
per annum, which is about two thirds
the capacity- of the Ontario hatchery,
the largest on the coast. Mr. Van Dt
sen ways he is not ready to begin the
work -upon the establishment of the Me
Kenzie river hatchery, as it will be a
comparatively small station and there
is no particular mh for its completion.
Good Hatchery Prospects.
In speaking of the hatchery opera
tions j Mr. Van Dusen stated that the
prospects this year were very bright
for splendid results at all stations. At
the Yaouina station they have 3,000,000
chinooks, 4,000,000 silver sides in small
fry-and ready to be planted. Of the
chinooks 2,000.000 wili be planted in
the-Yaqwina 'river and 1.000,000 in the
Alsea; the silver sides will wot be ready
for planting for a couple of months and
then 3,000,000 will be turned loose ia
the Yaquina and 1,000,000 in the Alsea
This station has also taken 1,000,000
eggs of the steelhead variety of salmon,
this being, regular spawning season for
this variety, and these evo will be used
the hatcherv demonstrations to be car
ried on at the Lewis and Clark Fair.
To do this the eggs wul have to be fer
tilized and brought to what is known
ay the eyeing stage at. the hatchery,
when thev will be taken ont and put in
to cold storage whieh will have the ef
fect of retarding their deyelopment un
til such time as they are needed in the
demonstration work. These eggs will
be taken to Portland and stored until
hSnt the first ot June, the opening of
the exrosition. when they: will be plac

Court Awards Him Damages in Sum of
. S15,000, But He Now Proposes -to
. Settle Contest for $20,000 Board
Will View Premises This Week.
(From Wednesday's Daily.) .
' Hon. Eufus Mallor, a prominent at
torney of Portland was in the city yes
terday, and appeared before the State
Board of Canal Commissioners during
the afternoon ia the interest of his
client, CoL L II. Taft, of The Dalles,
ia the matter of the condemnation of
a right-of-way through the latter's
property for .the proposed Dalles-Celi-
ij canal to 2e constructed by the gov
ernment, ine state Has secureu a
judgment against lolonel Taft con
dvrnnin the , right-of-way and award
ing the defendant damages in the sum
of $15,000. Colonel Tait is not satis
fied with the judgment secured against
him, and has threatened the state with
an appeal upon numerous grounds.- Mr.
Mallory's mission was to endeavor to
arrange a compromise between the
board and Colonel Taft, with the nn
derstaadrng that ,. the appeal would be
dismissed. Tbo matter was taken nn
der consideration hy the board, and a
conclusion will not be reached one
way or another until after the board
returns , from ' a tour- of inspection,
which wiB be made this week.
Colonel Taft contested the state 's
proceedings to secure a right-of-way
through his property for the purpo.-e
Of constructing the government canal,
holding out for a settlement by which
ho was to receive $22,000 for his" prop
erty : condemned. He only secured
damages to the amount of $15,000,
however, and he is not pleased with
the result. Besides this the- state
asked for the further condemnation of
another small strip of his property,
consisting of less than one acre, upon
which to build (bunkbouses, etc, for the
workmen. Colonel, Taft objected
strenuoiwlf to this proceeding, and
threatens to carry the case to the
preine Court on appeal. lie raises sev-jas
era l important point-, aruong ; wncn is i
tbo oueation of whether the right-of-1
way act is broad enough in its provis

POE BETEB
ENDUM OP APPBOPBIATION
BILL .ABBXVE.
Much Speculation as to.Hotr They Will
Be Beceived "By People -of Marion
County Movement - Said to Have
Been SUrted for Political Effect.
Blank petitions -for the referendum
of -the general appropriation bill-have
been received ' (by several parties in
this city, and it is quite probable thai
some of Them will be placed in eireu
la.tion in the neas future. There has
been some question as to whether or
not the people of Marion county would
sanction the movement to refer the
big appropriation bill to the vote of
the people at tbo June election of: 1906,
and there is a difference of opinion
upon this score. Borne-seem to think
that very few people of this county will
sign the petitions for the referendum,
while others are of . the opinion that
there are about 500 Populists and Dem
ocrats in the county who will be will
ing to lend their influence toward refer
ring the act to the people. , It is eon-
ceded that very- few Republicans and
conservative Democrats will sanction
the movement, yet there will be a snf
flcient number-of .people in the stats
aside from these to make the petitions
effective.
The moat conservative element among
the people seems to think that intitia
tive should be invoked against-the bill
instead of the referendum.- for many
reasons, although either method would
tie the appropriations up for a term of
at least 18 months and cost the state
thousands of dollars in interest beside
the great-loss to which the state cm
ployes would be subjected by reason of
having to discount their pay certifi
cates. Some prominent officials and pri
vate citizens' deplore the conditions gen
erally, cindemn either, the initiative or
ref eren turn movement as sheer folly, yet
they hope to see one or both brought
about as a lesson to the people in the
futnre. although it might prove a very
j dear one. If the initiative were brought
1 to bear upon the measure it would op
crate to annul the objectionable fea
8u-Hures of it and leave the balance stand
it is, although, in either event, the
effect of the bill would t.e wyrd until
after the Juno election. J900. aiiditbc
damage would be done.
One of the members, of the Tieuisla-
ture, in speak id g of the. .matter vester
day afternoon, eaid he was of5 the otin
ion that the bill would be referred to
the people, and that, it they were- to
take a vole upon it at the .present tim.
it would be repealei. "So far as the
best interests of the? state are concern
ed, however," he said.'T hope it is
not repealed or that it will not even
be deterred from going into effect. Itave

and Kepuitiiean agitators who are tax
ing advanatge of the opportunity to
stir no strife and confusion and are
right in their element. .
"Of course it is a political scheme
for the purpose of trying to defeat the
Republics ticket at the June election
in 1906. They do not seem to stop and
take into consideration, although the
last Legislature was Bepublican by
large majority that there were more
Democrats. in proportion to number.
that voted for the bill than Ecpubli-.
cans. , Take the eaaie, , for instance.
There were four Democratic members
in this branch of the Legislature ye't all
of them, with the exception of Senator
Miller, voted for tho bill- Not only
this., but JEVrutor Pierce (Democratic)
of. Morrow, Umatilla and Union, made
the hardest fight of all and won the
day in his efforts to secure an increase
of the appropriation for the: Weston
normal school from $25,000 fo $31,000.
It Is my opiaiou that if the people are

nOXOLTJLU, March 8. The police
here are of the opinion that if Mrs.
Stanford was murdered, the guilty per
son is in Saa Francisco, "iligh Sheriff
Henry expresses this view.
It is pointed out that the opinions of
the physicians, taken with the result
of the ehemieal analysis, as given in
evidence at the inquest, indicate that
to bring about a - fatal result Mrs.
Stanford w6uld . have to have been
given one of the capsules,' which it has
been admitted contained a small quan
tity of strychnine, and a dose of the bi
carbonate of soda at the same time, and
that both "would 'be. required to bring
together enough strychnine to bo fataL
: Accprding to the estimates of .the
chemists, the strychnine in the dose of
bicarbonate of soda and the capsule
combined was only one twelfth of a
grain, unless the strychnine was all at
the' top of the bottle and was takea
when .Miss Beraer poured out the dose
of soda. Mrs. Stanford's failure to com
raest on the bitter taste of the . medi
cine, however, is held as disproving
this theory.
., San Francisco, March 8.-rWhile the
police of this city have not yet actually
dropped their investigations of the , cir
cumstances surrounding, the -death of
Mrs. Jane Lathrop Stanford, they admit
that none of the former members of the
households here and at Palo Alto will
be further -watched or questioned. .
Captain Burnett said this morning
that while the police department bad
as yet received no official word from
Honolulu,, be was satisfied from press
dispatches that it was far from estab
lished that a crime had oeen committed
"This being true," continued the
captain, "we have, absolutely no just
grounds on . which to base suspicion,
much less to make an arrest. , We will
continue work on the case, however, so
that should unexpected developments
occur at; Honolulu we will be ready to
proceed at this end." v
Physicians say that one twelfth of a
grain of strychnine might poasiblv be
fatal to person of Mrs. Stanford's age,
Deputy High Sheriff Bawlins, who will
accompany the remains to San Francis
cot will take the trip for the purpose of
consulting the police of that city.

ADEQUATE LAW
NEW LAW CUTS OFT ALL CHANCE
OF LIEU LAND SWINDLES
Act Will Save Two and One Half Mil
lion Acres of Timber Lands to ine
. Government Prohibits Selection of
Forests Outside of Reserves. .
' WASHiNtit)X, March 7. Two an
ene half million acres of timber land
will be saved to iho Government by the
operation of a short act to which Pre
ident Roosevelt affixed his signature
durinc the last moments of the 58th
Congress. .The act prohibits the selec
tion of timber lands in exchange for
lands which have been included within
forest reserves. It wss in 1897 that the
"lieu law" was enacted. It had no re
gt notions, simply entitling persons bol I
ini? lands in forest reserves to make se
leetions elsewhere in exchang-j for their
forest reserve lands. In 1900 these lieu
selections were , limited to surveyed
binds. Since the passage of these acts
nearly 2,000,000 acres of forest reserve
lands have been exchanged for other
lands, and almost universally has the
exchange been made for timbered lands
outside of forest reserves. Nearly half
of this land so exchanged is owned by
the land grant railroads. -
A report to Congress from the. Com
missioner of the General Land Office
places the amount of lands still hel
bv these roads ini forest reserves at
2,y00,000 acres, and this provision in
the act in question, that hereafter lieu
selections must be" made from tintini-
bered binds, is calculated to save just
that much timbered land which is out
side cf the forest reserves.

Conflict Between Hungarian Nation
.and Emperor Declared Probable.!
VIE.VNA,, March 7. Judging by re
iKirts received from liutlaist, a con
flict between the crown and the Hun
ganan , nation appears probable. The
contending interests cannot agree on
the matter of military reforms and
particularly on the uxo of the Hunga
rian tongue in the Hungarian srary as
the language , of eomiaand, 1 lungs
nans declaring that this reform must
be instituted and the Kmperor that it
is impossible. neither siuo ' shows
signs of weakening,-sad the question
of langnsgo of command is more prrg
nant of danger today than ever be-
tore. . ! . - . ' '
Six ont of 1C . Hungarian political
leaders hare already been received in
audience by the Emperor. " They and
others who were received in audience
before these six were called to Yien
na have nude Unknown that the Jvm-
pcror declares that the military do-
mands of the united opposition parties
are inadmissible. In" these iatcrviows
the Emperor spoke . feelingly aul
with .deep -convictbin ef the necessity
for an undivided and strong army al
ways ready for battle. He said that
be could not permit existing condi
tions in the army to be altered. .
One side or the other must make rati
iel concessions, vat ixth show sign
of being very tifT-necked, It is a
contest for principles, which on the
one side the Emperor declares he will
not recognize, aad which on the other
side the opposition insists shall be con
ceded. As a result of the serious out
break arising front the knowledge of
the. Emperor's declaration, the interest
concerning the outcome of the re-uain-ing
audiences with tbo Hungarian po
litical leaders-Is increasing among the
IIuHgarians, who are heatedly discuas-
ieg .eventualities;. ' -'. -

eitizens of Salem organised the1 Salem
Decorative Union, with purposes of es
tablishing parks in the city and beau
tifying others f rom : the - funds collect
ed from its members. The work met
withbearfv co-ope ration at almost
every, hand, and the fuuds of the or
ganization grew in a short time to al
most $300. This money was placed in
the Gilbert bank for safe keeping un
til such time as n sufficient amount to
make a. considerable showing had been
accumulated. -. From time to time this
amount was increased, and deposited
m the same banking institution, none
of it being applied to the woik in con
templation. Something over a dozen years ago"
another organization came rnto exist
ence, known as the Salem Floracultural
Society and its purpose was identical
with that of the Decorative Union.
The funds of this organization grew
apace, .and were placed in the Gilbert
bank along with those of the earlier
lustttutiou. i
For some unknown reason the. money
was allowed to remain in the bank for
several years, unexpended, while the
park system of the city remained in its
crude and unfinished state. There seem
ed to be a lack of directive genius in
the two bodies and indeed the fact Hint
the mony lay in the bank idle seemed'
to have been forgotten.
Indeed it was not until the bank
went into the lauds of a receiver some
four years ago that the members of
the two organizations awoke to Iho
fact that their contributions to bnaui
fying the city of Salem were fled up
in the bank and they were liablo to bo
lost altogether, or ru part, at least.
The action of the directors of the
hank in paying up 30 per cent on all
investments returned about $160 into
the hands of the officers of tbo two
organizations, and this is the money
that was yesterday turned over to th
park, board to be expended as it sees
fit on the two parks of the city. Be
fore taking this action, however, every
contributor was seen and asked to as
sign his contribution to the societios
to the park board, and this was dons
in each instance. : I
TVlii1. Id. aMAnnl ia mill ' It rill

at once be applied to the work that is
now being pushed on tho two parks
