How Inspectors, Super-Inspectors and Superintendents Boss Thin Ranks of Those Who Guard Scales Nee NCEMENT by Mayor Brown that he wishes te put the garbage division under the direction of the public utilities division started municipal students wondering Saturday whether the garbage removal staff is to be turned into a sort of Mexican army. That army, it will be remembered, has been famous for the fact that there are more officers than men in it. The “superintendent of public utilities” is Clark Jackson, The title sounds impressive, but what it really means, mainly, is $5,000 a year for Mr. Jackson. The department consists of “utility inspectors,” whose work comes under the city engineer's division, and of weights and measures inspectors, senior inspectors, chief inspectors, supervisors, super-super- visors and others too numerous to mention.

Sir: The editor of The Seattle Star, which is a sister paper of the Portland, Oregon, News, has offered me the columns of his newspaper in which to address this letter to you. Under the pact between the states of Washington and Oregon, no reform affecting the fishing industry in the Columbia river, which divides our states for nearly their entire length, can be accomplished without simultaneous action at Olympia and Salem. If the salmon supply is to be conserved, a “rest area” must be created in the river at the “bottleneck” at Celilo Falls. Washington licenses the deadly seines in this area, and Oregon legalizes the destructive wheels. The catching of Silverside salmon, resting and trapped © at the foot of the falls, is as revolting as it is destruc- tive. Last autumn one seining outfit in one week took 300 tons of salmon from this area. In the taking of these fish tons and tons of near-ripe eggs are squeezed out, and the men wading on the bars and on the floors of the canneries stand ankle-deep in roe. The strongest of the fish thus caught would have ascended the falls to lay their eggs in the gravel beds above; the weakest would have dropped back to quieter, slower water to spawn. The Siiverside, sir, is a valuable fish. It matures every three years instead of four, as in the case of the Chinook. The fishermen averaged six cents a pound [Portland Editor Writes to Governor Hartley this year, the price constantly and the upply can never equ 1 the demand. Oregon cannot stop seining on the Washington side, neither can Washington abolish wheels on the Oregon side. But we can and*will abolish our wheels if you will stop seining. Washington advancing, many thriving towns and cities along the big river. The newest and one of the largest is the made-to-order city of Longview. Let’s give thé fish a chance to function as God in- tended they should, to the end that the fish supply may be intelligently conserved. Then we will have canneries on both sides of the river below the “bottleneck,” and the world will have a sufficiency of good food at a reason- able cost. I have, sir, the surance of the Oregon state fish commission that it will, at the coming session of the legislature at Salem, introduce a measure to abolish wheels at the ‘aottleneck” and create a “rest area’ at this point. I am asking you to inqtfire into this matter and, if you@gree with our fish commission, to cause to be intro- duced similar legislation at Olympia which will prohibit seining at the foot of Celilo Falls. Then there will be no fishing whatever there, and it will be indeed a ‘rest area.” Hoping you will recognize the urgent need of the pro- posed simultaneous action, I am, yours hopefully, THE EDITOR, The Portland News, Portland, Oregon. with the t 1 limb. t m 10th to of bur which wa other two being broken Two y Ago, SAY. rest that section, the same time elapsed be placed.
