Salem, Or., Aug. 20, 1008. (Ed.

h-$ been a controversy botween tao
Oregon Electric company camo bo-
foro'the council and stated that if
thoy wished to make permanent im
provements the grade established
by the city was correct, but "that it
waB not necessary to make perma
nent improvements at this time:
that by hauling in about 2500 yards
all
but
later when pormanent work was to
bo done tho railway could- bo
brought to grado.
Tho pooplo of north Salem as soon
as thoy .camo Into the city, organ
ized an improvement league. Know
ing tho difficulty that o'ld Salem
had with hor grades the league has
worked to have a common grado os
tablished that would bo permanent
and ns fast as wo improved mako
our Jmprovomont8 pormanent, and it
looks', to tho writer, at least, that it
Is a good deal of gall for a resident
of another city to come beforo &
council of Intelligent men and tell
them that they havo established a
correct grade but that they do riot
want permanent Improvements at
this time; that any old temporary
makeshift Is good enough for Sa
eom. Tho grado established by tho
city Is not a grndo for Droadwn
nlono, but for all of North Salem,
and has cost tho city more than one
thousand dollars.
Now Bhall tho city lose nil this
work and cctabllsh a temporary
grado for tho railway or shall thoy
look aftor tho Intorost of tho city?

Tho following wbb probably writ
ton for tho benefit of dealers In meat.
It would soom equally good advice
for thoso who deal la pelitics:
If you wish to ndvortlso your
competitor speak slightingly of him.
Tho human bolng is a qucor animal,
and has somo queer Ideas. Most of
them will take privileges thomsolvos
that they will not accord unto others.
For Instance, your customor can
como Into your store and tell you
all kinds of mean tricks yqur com
petitor has bcon playing, also all
kinds of prices he has been making,
and yqu know that at least half of
who never says anything about your
competitor is likely to fqel if you
tried to tell him something about
that buslhess rival which did not
happen to bo creditable. Tho best
way of showing up the bad points jpf
a competitor, if ho has any, Is to let
his customers do all tho talking,
oven though you may bo told that
somo competitor has mado uncompli
mentary remarks about you. Na

IRRIGATING DITCHES
KILL SLVNT.FISII
(Baker Domocrnt.)
Moro fish aro probably dostroyM
in irrigation ditches than are caught
by hook and lino. This Is tho opin
ion of fishermen who havo Investi
gated the subjoct nnd given It Intel
ligent thought.
In Baker county Instances nro
cited where water has boon ehut off
from a ditch nnd thousands of
trout ha vo been loft high and dry
to rot on top of tho ground. Tho
larger tho lltch tho greater has been
tho slaughter.
Moreovor, If tho ditches aro'novor
allowo dto go dry, fish that onco ou
ter them from tho river novcr got
bnck again. Thoro is a law requir
ing tho heads of Irrigation ditches to
bo covered with n screen, nnd this
law should bo enforced. If It Id en
forced thon tho stocking of our in
land streams with fish will bo doubly
off cell vo.
That Irrigation ditches In other
otntos destroy multitudes of fish la
a woll known fact. For ImUnnco tho
following Item from a rccont Issuo
of tho Scnttlo Post-Intolllgoncor is
only ono enso among many:
"Gnmo Wnrdon Thomas Mullen of
Ynklmn county hns called tho sports
men of this district togothor to do
vlso somo way to protect tho game
fish which arc now bolng slaughtered
by tho thousands by bolng dumpoJ
on tho orchards and alfnlfa flolds
from tho Irrigation dltchos.
"Tho trout and salmon ontor tho
irrigation ditches and thon turn off
into tho laterals, finally onding tholr
llfo In tho grass whoro tho water
has played out and loft thorn. At
torney Edward Parker a fow dnyo
ago -caught a six-pond rainbow trout
in his pear orchard. Clinton Shan
non found sovornl trout In his or
chard and numorouB others havo re
ported similar finds.
"Small boys catch long strings of
small trout simply by Bcooplng thorn
from tho pools with tholr hands.
Gnmo Wardon Million says thoro aro
Bomo sections 6t tho vnlloy tho
rnnchors of which whon thoy wnnt
fish angle in tho dltchos for them
In proforonco to tho streams, tho
dltchos bolng moro nccosslblo and
tho water Blower nnd thorcforo bet
ter." Somo concortod action should bo
tnkon by tho sportsmen of Bnkor
county to prevent tho destruction of
flsh nnd, too, to ro-atock tho stronma.
Unless this la done and that soon,
flHhlng wl bo a thing of tho jmst.
