Better System of Handling Accounts Is
Planned and Money to Be Placed
With Treasurer. .
CHIEF CLERK IS NAMED
TO LOOK AFTEE MATTER
Finance Committee of Three to Meet
Once Each Month and Duties of
Game Wardens Outlined.
The report of the fish and game com
mission, filed with the governor last
evening, is a voluminous affair, much
too long to print, and longer thao any
would care to read, if printed. Out of
the mass we have gleaned the follow
ing: inat neretotore tnere nave no
accounts been kept, except in a very
desultory way, and that the commis
sion will haive these slips and notes
posted so that something can be learned
of what the commission has done, and
wheso the money has been expended. It
recommonds the turning over of all
funds to the state treasurer to be
checked out as in other state business,
the commission heretofore having main
tained its own private deposit.
It makes several other reconunenda
tions about as follows: That a board
composed of two commercial men, two
game men, with suggestion of the a.p
pointment of a fifth member from the
scientific department of some educa
tional institution.
Thet Appointment of a Chief Clerk.
Appoint from the board a finance
committee of three, who shall meet at
least once a month.
That work be divided among the
members of the commission so that each
is responsible for visiting and reporting
on certain plants.
Appoint a hatchery superintendent
with residence at Bonneville, to have
complete charge of fish and hatchery
operations.
Game warden to have complete and
exclusive control of the policing of all
that district west of the Cascades, and
three deputies or rangers to travel in
connection with his work west of the
mountains.
Makes it the duty of the fish warden
to collect all licenses, look after dams,
ladders, screens, etc., and to have ex
elusive control of the policing of all
that district vest of the Cascades, for
both game and commercial interests,
and be allowed one deputy to travel in
connection with his work east of the
mountains. That the expense of polic
ing, etc., be born at the ratio of $2
from the game fund to $1 from the fish
fund.
Finally recommends the department
keep in touch with the U. S. bureau of
fisheries, whose work is far superior to
that done bv tho state.
BIO BOWLING GAME.
A big match game will be played to
night at The Club alleys between Pop
Weymnu's Pirntes and Ralph's Feder
als, The Pirates consist of such bowl
ers as Weyman, fuptaiu Stutesman,
Ijit'lar, Ranch, and Kress. Opposed to
them are a bunch of equally as good
bowlers, Captain Pratt, Craven, Pierce,
N'oud and Siddoll. There is a great
deal of interest aroused, tho rivalry
between the two being very keen.

One of the most important legal ac
tions ever brought in Judge Galloway's
department of the circuit court is being
tried today, it being a case wherein
Juilns G. Voget is seeking to recover
$30,923 from O. L. Harris and the fore
closure of a contract for the purchase of
lands located near Brooks, Ore.
There are 19 witnesses on band who
will testify in behalf of the plaintiff,
while the defendants will be represent
ed by nine witnesses. The lands in
question compose some of the richest
farming territory in the state, and the
suit resulted from the plaintif's objec
tion to the defendant's actions in car
sying out the contract to improve the
property.
Attorneys William P. Lord, Jr., of
Portland, aind Walter E. Keyes, of Sa
lem, are representing the plaintifff.
Judge Galloway is holding court in the

state senator from Clackamas county,
is in Salem today from Oregon City,
on legal business. Mr. Brownell is a
candidate for the Republican nomina
tion for governor, and stated today that
he would make the campaign on a clean
cut, anti-saloon platform. If he ac
complishes nothing else, he hopes to
force other candidates to take a defi
nite position on this important question.
"I am a good loser and a good win
ner,' said Mr. Brownell, "and no mat
ter how it goes, I will be satisfied. They
will all know they have been in a fight,
however. "
