The statement reads: "We deem Senator Poindexter espe cially well qualified for the nomina tion not only because of his ability, but on account of his record upon the great constructive and progressive measures and questions of the last 10 years. We take pride in- the favor able consideration that has been giv en throughout the nation to his can didacy. This consideration, which is now plainly evident, especially in eastern centers, not only reflects credit upon him. but Is a signal rec ognition of and advantage to the great northwest. "This is the first time in the his tory of our section of the country that any one of us public men ha. been seriously considered for the presidency and Justifies and warrants the united and loyal support of Mr. Poindexter by the republicans of the northwest. "The contest for the nomination in the convention will be sharp. None of the candidates is likely to have a majority at the outset. There may be several candidates with substantially equal strength. It may not seem wise to nominate any of them, and th convention will very likely turn to one on whom the chief rival factions can unite. Senator Poindexter occu pies a very strong position and has most favorable consideration in view of such contingency." RDSAR1ANS PLAN DANCE SOCIAL,,, SEASON TO OPEN WEDNESDAY, APRIL 2 8.

"The opinion of the attorney-general in regard to the Rogue river fish controversy, has created an impres sion among many interested parties throughout the state of Oregon that the agreement is invalid, and that the effort made by the parties in interest to adjust the differences has been de stroyed," said Senator C. M. Thomas, who is attorney for the Rogue river fish and game protective association, today. "I have received many letters and telegrams asking what effect the at-tcrney-general's opinion would have, and suggesting the fear that the com pact was at an end." said he. "Such conclusion is entirely erroneous, and the attoiney-gneral's opinion, of which I am advised only by associated press reports, merely affects the au thority of the fiah and game commis sion of the state for this season to aid in carrying out portions of the agreement. Parties Definitely Agreed.

Reqnest Made to Commission. "At the time the agreement wa drafted It was first determined not to present it to the state fish and game commission at this time, but to wait until the fall meeting. However there were parties present who be lieved that the fish and game com mission had power under present game laws to change the opening and closing of fishing seasons, as well as other powers, and could be of some ....... aciviue at inis time in aiding the intererted parties, and for this reason- the following clause was in serted in the agreement, to-wit- "It la i rr r- ... -7 . 1 . aP,.CcU a copy or this agree ment shall K a ,j.., - . ... , - - ' no-iucu ana inea with the state fish and game commis s on, with the request that the provi sions herein be at once put In force and effect, pending legislative enact ment.'
