Seattle, Feb. 2. As a result of
the Joint meeting of the legislative
committees from Oregon and Wash
ington, regarding salmon fishing In
the Columbia river, an effort is to be
made to have the agreement in the
form of a treaty ratified by the
United States senate and extended
to six or e'ght years, so that quar
rels and hostile legislation from
either state over the boundary rights
cannot in future upset the peaceful
relations which have now been es
tablished for the first time in the
history of the two states.
The joint commission, by unani
mous vote, agreed to recommend the
passage of a law by both legislatures
providing for a spring closed season
from March 1, at 12 o'clock noon,
to May 1, at 12 cclock noon. The
fall closed season was left undis
turbed, namely, from August 25 to
September 10.

Second A fall closed seaton from
August 2 5 to September 10
Third A Sunday closed season
from 6 p. in. Saturday of each week
to 6 p. ni. the Sunday following be
tween the first day of May and the
25th day of August.
Fourth We suggest tho mutual

censes issued to floating gear by the
other state.
Fifth That the state of Oregon
repeal chaplar 89, of the session
laws of Oregon, for the year 1907,

ment of similar laws in both states

ILIPIN0 ASSEMBLY OPENED
Annual Report of the Revenues of
Islands Shows a Decline.
Manila, Feb. 1 The Philippine
assembly opened today with simple
ceremony, President Osmena presid
ing. The first business to come be
fore the body was the annual mes
sage to the assembly of Governor-
General James F. Smith.
Governor Smith deplored the
growing gulf between the Americans
and the Filipinos in the Philippines,
and strongly urged that they draw
closer tftgether and act in unity for
the best interests of both. His mes
sage sharply criticises the municipal
government of Manila and the mu
nicipal police force, the personnel of
which, he said, was not equal to that
of the house servants of the city.
The provincial government, Gov
ernor Smith pronounced to be en
tirely satisfactory.
The annual report on the revenues
of the islands shows a decline of
about a million pesos (about $500,
000) for 1908 under the figures of
1907.
