FISH HARMONY IS AIM WASHINGTON' COMMISSIONER AND M'AIiLISTER. UNITE. Officials of Both States Decide to Collaborate in Managing Co lumbia River Salmon. ASTORIA, Feb. 10. (Special.) Both Fisl Commissioner John L. Riseland, of Washington, and Fish Warden Mc Allister, of Oregon, who were here last evening:, said that it is the Intention of the fisheries department of the two states to work in the utmost harmony in the inforcement of the fishing: laws on the Columbia River and to assist each other in every way possible to the end that the industry may be pro tected and preserved. Mr. Riseland said: "Harmony between the departments of the two states is one of the prin cipal things needed. Our department and that of Oregon are working to at tain the same end, that of increasing the runs of salmon in the Columbia River and the preservation of this great fishing industry for the present and future generations. If we can gain that point, it matters little which hatcheries turn out the salmon fry, be cause it is all for the common good. "By assisting each other in this work. I believe the fisheries departments of Oregon and Washington can gain the confidence and good will of the people and finally their enthusiasm in support of the project for which we are labor ing, and when that time arrives, it will be possible to secure whatever legisla tion is desired for the preservation of the industry, not alone in one of the states, but in each of them. It is true that both Oregon and Washington have Jurisdiction over the fisheries of the Columbia River, but It must be remem bered that the fisheries belong to the people and the fisheries departments of those states can best subserve the in terests of the people, whose servants they are, by working together and as sisting each other as much as possi ble. At least, that is my idea of the case, and I know Mr. McAilister feels the same." 11 KILLED IN JANUARY State Railroad Commission Reports Oregon Railroad Fatalities. SALEM. Or.. Feb. 10. (Special.)

(Special.) Georgetown intends to hold Seattle in expectancy on annexation until im portant questions have been settled to Georgetown's liking. Instead of or dering the election at the recent meet ing, the Council decided that next Mon day the members would take a recess and pay an official visit to the Seattle City Council. At the same time, tho word has been passed unofficially that If Seattle's concessions are satlsfactory the special election will be ordered for March 29. In order to get the population of Georgetown in time for the census, Seattle will have to "come through" in five particulars. Georgetown's 15 liquor licenses will have to be accepted as binding, al though Seattle Is now at the limit. There must be adequate' police pro tection, and the present force of a chief and three patrolmen must ba re tained. Fire Protection Demanded. 1 There must be a central Station of the Seattle paid Are department for the entire southern part of the city. Georgetown will insist on having new equipmentr that the present station, which is owned by the Rainier Volun teers be used, and that the two nre horses, of which the suburb is extreme ly proud, be kept in service. There must be Cedar River water for the entire town, and the service must be extended to the hill section at once. The Georgetown Water Company is composed of James weir. Ritchie M. Klnnearand Frank Paul, and has prop erty valued at abount 80,000. Its sup ply comes from the springs back of South Park. Presumably this plant will be bought by Seattle as a part of the deal. Water .for the hill section has been troublesome to Georgetown. Together with the question of sewage, it has been one of the main arguments for an nexation. On the hill is a new JIS.OOO school house, at present unoccupied be cause there is no water. On this ac count the demand for water on the hill is made immediate. Ward Lines May Be Clianged. Jeorgetown will also demand, to be erected into the Fifteenth ward, with a councilman of its own. The situation has been complicated by a request from South Park that it also be included in the Fifteenth ward, to which it geo graphically belongs. instead of the Twelfth to which it is now attached. A portion of South Park, known as Ox bow, already dovetails Into George town through the meandering of Du wamish, at the point where the County Poor Farm and Hospital are located; while. South Park is separated from theremainder of the Twelfth ward, in the Rainier Valley, by a high ridge which is not crossed by any transpor tation line. The Twelfth, as at present constituted, is a curiosity. Georgetown has about 6000 peo'ple and South Park 3000. and the latter are so anxious to secure a change in ward boundaries that they will gladly concede the first Councilman to Georgetown. I At one stage of the recent Council meeting, annexation in time for the census was perilously near defeat. City Attorney Ennls, who draws a salary of $150 a montiw is said to have advised the Council to adjourn the meeting beyond the next regular date in order to visit the Seattle Council. If this step had been taken the enemies of annexation would have bided their time, then sprung the point that the proceding was illegal, causing delay that would have made the election too late for the census".' Trap Discovered In Time. It was a neat trap, but the friends of annexation were warned in time. The Council will met next Monday, take a recess and come to Seattle, and all pro ceedings will be technically regular. Diversion was injected into the re cent meeting by Councilman Charles Hale, who declared that there must be 200.000 canines in Georgetown and that a dog census ought to be taken. "It appears." he said "that the dog-catcher gets a 75-cent fee out of each dog. His bill this month was $35. His bills have been running from $28 to $35 right along. It is time we took a census of dogs. I would like to know the sys tem. It seems the dog-catcher catches a dog today, lets him go tomorrow, catches him the next day, lets him go the next, catches him today lets him go tomorrow, cth-hm-tday-let-hm-g-tomr-cth-hm-tday-l-h-g-mor " The entire question was referred to the fire, light and water committee, with power to act. Hale is chairman. He says that he is prepared to do his duty in taking a census of George town's dogs. ' TERMINALS TO BE MOVED Moscow Grants Franchise to Spo kane & Inland Empire. MOSCOW.

GET BUSY AND PATRONIZE THIS SALE 7TH AND WASHINGTON FRAUD IS CHARGED State Sues to Recover Timber Land in Lewis County. CRUISER'S REPORT WRONG 'Inadvertence, Neglect or Mistake" Said to Have Resulted in Sale of Quarter Section of Land Worth $5000 for 91000. CHEHALIS. Wash.. Feb. 10. (Spe cial.) The State of Washington has brought suit In the Lewis County Su perior Court to set aside two deeds to lands purchased near Alpha in 1906. The case was argued on a demurrer be fore Judge Rice, who held against the defendants. The title of the case is the State of Washington vs. O. O. Ort and the Carlisle-Pennell Lumber Company, of Kansas, one of the largest owners of timber in the county. It is alleged that in April, 1906, O. O. Ort made application to the state to buy a quarter section: that he repre sented that the land had no merchantn ble timber, and that it contained 120 acres of agricultural land and 40 acres of pasture land; that the cruiser who examined the land for the state, "through inadvertence, neglect or mis take.'' reported no timber on the land, and that It had no value as timber land, but was covered with small brush and vine maple: that the representations by Mr. Ort and the cruiser were fraudu lent: that the land contained more than 1,000.000 feet of merchantable timber and more than 4.000,000 feet of fir, ce dar and hemlock. ' On the representations of Mr. Ort and the reports of the cruiser the state sold the land to Mr. Ort for $1600. It is al leged that it Was worth more than $5000. The law provided that if more than 1.000,000 feet of timber were found on a quarter section, the timber must be sold separate from the land. After buying the land Mr. Ort sold It to the Carlisle-Pennell Company. The state alleges that the purchasing com pany had full knowledge of fraud. " A similar, charge is made as to an other quarter section. Elwood Purcell, of Alpha, was the buyer, and he sold to the same, company. The state asks that the deeds be an nulled.
