Number 1
THE STATE IS UPHELD
BY SUPREME COURT IN
FISHING CASE
Willamette River Is Closed
To Comme'rcial
Fishermen
DECISION IS REVERSED
uy vecision the suspenison Bridge
Is the Omit Northward
From the Falls
Some months ago Charles Gates
was arrested for commercial fishing
north of the bridge at Oregon City,
was tried in the justice court and
fined. Through his atttftaey, Gilbert
L. Hedges, Gates appealed from- the
decision Judge Noble's court, the cir
cuit court where Judge Campbell re
versed the decision of the Ipwer court
on the ground that a previous order
made by "the fish commission was in
effective. This order of the Fish Commission
made in May, 1921, was to the effect
that after June 6, 1921, it would be
unlawful to fish for salmon with nets
or for commercial purposes in the
Willamette River north of the suspen
ion bridge at Oregon City. Said or
der was to be effective until it should
be rescinded which was never done.
The opinion of the supreme court
. written by Judge Harris points out
that in chapter 105, laws of 1921 the
commission is given authority to close
any of the waters of the state to com
mercial fishing except the Columbia
river west of the mouth of the Des
chutes river.
The legislature of 1921 est&blished
the line in the Willamette from the
north to the suspension "bridge and
the attorney for Gates contended that
the legislature had taken away from
the commission power over the Will
amette north of the bridge.
The supreme court held in this re
cent decision that the commission has
the right to extend a closed season
that has been established by a legis-
lature and to close any waters that
the legislature may not have closed.
And therefore the fishing for salmon
by Gates was unlawful, and the com
mission had the legal right to close
the stream.
The possible course is this (1) The
passing down of the mandate from
the highest court. (2) To proceed
with the trial on the facts in the case.

MAKING PULP AT THE
HAWLEY PLANT HAS
CEASED FOR TIME
Usually the closing of the pulp man
ufacturing departments of the local
mill has taken place about the middle
of May, when water is low in the
river. This year there is on hand
about two weeks earlier sufficient
pulp, however, to run the mills during
the summer or until high water
comes again.
About 100 men are affected'by the
shut down but this will have but little
effect on -the community however as
most of the men work in the mills
during the winter only.

BUTGHEL ANQ WILLIAMS
DEFY REGALLERS TO
OUST THEM
Secretary of State Notified
That Incumbents Will
Not Resign
RECALL DATE MAY 19
Injunction Suits Started to Restrain
Secretary of State from Ordering
Special Recall Election - .
Notification has been received by
Sam Kozer, secretary of state, from
Fred G. Buchtel that he will not re
sign from the Public Service Commis
sion. Under the law if the officer
against whom recall petitions are filed
does not resign within five days after
the filing the special election is call
ed. Fred A. Williams, who is a tar
get for other recall petitions, has al
so signified his purpose to fight the
recall.
The suits to restrain the secretary
of state from putting the names of
the commissioners on the ballot are
based on the complaint of fraud. It is
set forth that hundreds of the sig
natures were obtained under fraud
It is also set forth that 500 of the
1
signatures to Buchtel's petition were
of persons who do not live in his dis
trict Another claim in the complaint
is that over 12,000 of the signatures
to the petition were obtained prior to
August 1 and so long before the pe
tition was filed that there is nothing
in the verification of the position to
show that they were legal voters in
the district from which Buchtel was
elected. The elimination of the names
thus questioned would not leave the
required number.

ment ready for adoption at a special
election during the early fall in order
that the election of the new officers
may take place at the regular state
election.

FARM CREDITS TO BE
INCREASED THROUGH
GOVERNMENT
War Corporation, Long Dormant,
Arouses Interest Sufficient to
Suggest Aid
After a long sleep in which the
farmers and stockmen have waited in
vain for the War Corporation to come
to their aid the managing director has
recommended to President Harding
several remedial measures. Why this
delay during which time the stockmen
and farmers "went broke" in large
numbers has not been made plain.
But now it is proposed that legisla
tion shall be enacted so that the pa
per of the livestock companies may
be rediscounted and that there shall
be a more adequate inspection of the
livestock upon which the loans are
made; That the need of more order
ly marketing of agricultural products
over a longer period and banking laws
to meet this condition shall be reocg
nized; Encouragement 6f state non-mem'
ber banks to enter the Federal re
serve system ;
Amendment of the national bank
law to permit a limited amount of
branch banking so as to reach more
nearly into the livestock and agricul
tural communities.
That joint stock land banks be es
tablished in some western states to
increase the size of loans from $10,-.
000 up to a maximum of $50,000 in
special cases is another recommenda
tion." CLACKAMAS DISTRICT

CHAIRMAN REPUBLICAN
STATE COMMITTEE
UNDER FIRE
Accusers Take Exception to
Management of Ralph
Williams' Campaign
RESIGNATION ASKED
Friends of O. H. Fithian tlaim Suc-
cess of Party Is Endangered By
Chairman's Attitude
Thomas H. Tongue, chairman Ore
gon State Repulican committee is un
der political fire for using his office
to further the interests of Ralph Will
iams, who is seeking reelection to the
national republican committee. Among
other accusations is one to the effect
that Tongue claims Senator McNary
in favor of Williams to this, McNary
telegraphs that,he is not taking any
part in the election.
It is claimed that Tongue is Will
iam's manager and that he has been
waging an active campaign in his be
half, as against O. H. Fithian, who is
a candidate against Williams, " al
though the party rules require that
a chairman of the state committee
shall be rfeutral in primary contests.
Tongue it is reported is signing Will
iams literature as chairman and that
he has no authority for such action
from the committee. And it is further
claimed that the two chairmen have
been and are building up a state po
litical machine which will collapse if
Fithian shall be elected national com
mitteemen. ,
As, a result of these conditions, a
petition signed by republican voters
from Portland and other sections of
the state has been forwarded MrT
Tongue asking him to resign and that
the state central committee elect an
other chairman.
Among reasons given in the petition
for requesting the resignation are:
that his actions receive old-time poli
tical "machine" methods abolished by
the voters; that the result will be
that no republican will be able to run
for office unless o'kd by "Tongues'
machine"; and that the present at
titude of the chairman is jeopardizing
the success of the entire republican
ticket
The petition urges a speedy call of
the committee and a new chairman
for the remainder of the present cam
paign. Local Realty Man

FIRE PREVENTION CO.
GIVE DEMONSTRA
TION AT PLANT
Oregon City, famous for her splen
did industries welcomes another plant
which will employ when completely
equipped about thirty-five men.
The Fire Prevention company of
this city has erected a fine attractive
building at the corner of High and
South Second Streets. The building it
self is thirty by sixty feet dimen
sions and three stoires high, contain
ing work rooms, testing laboratories
and office. It is equipped with ma
chinery for the manufacture, of the
Thermostatic Fire Alarm patented by
George W. Williamson, Dec 21, 1920.
The company employ nine men at
present and can turn out about 5000
instruments per day, but expect to in
crease this number to 20,000 per day
eventually.
Mr. Williamson discovered the
chemical combination and completed
the invention in 1917.
The basic fluid in the combination
thermostat boils at the phenominal
healt of 1 degree above freezing point
and retains its effectiveness to 900
degrees Fahrenheit. In addition to
the fire, alarm instrument there are
fourteen other devices, all products'
of the same chemical combination and
including cylinder-hot box detector,
and automatic switch and other de
vices for laboratory uses.
The practical working of the fire
alarm and other detectors is simple.
The fire detector the small thermos
tatic apparatus is located in the ceil
ing and wires ocnduct the fire signals
to the enunciator placed where desir
ed. The heat from the fire sets off
the alarm through the thermostat,
wires and enunciator.
The principle upon which the chem
ical combination works is that the
oxy-hydrogen combination is set free
at 90 degrees Fahrenheit the hydro
gen ascending straight to the ceiling
where it spreads over the surface and
acts upon the thermostat One in
strument serves 100 square feet of
space. Heat frdfn a stove or other
heating apparatus Th the room does
not affect the apparatus since the
heat does not radiate directly upward.
Firemen including Chief Young of
Portland, E. W. Lavier and William
Priebe, chief of Oregon City depart
ment pronounce the instrument the
best they have ever seen.

County Agent Urges
"Poison Squirrels"
The eround squirrels have been ex
ceedingly slow in coming out this
vpar and the DOisonine work will be
later than usual in most communities.
Usually the young squirrels are born
in mid-April at the latest, but many oi
them are being born at the present
time and will be for a short time
ahead.
Most communities report the squir
rels as being thinner than usual upon
their appearance and that they are
taking the poison very readily.
Owners of property infested with
grey diggers or field mice should be
lisinz their best efforts now in the
control of these pests. The Farm Bu
reau, cooperating with the U. fa. -Le-partnient
of Agriculture and the Ore
gon Agricultural College, has made it
possible for land owners to very
cheaply rid their premises of these
pests. Poisoned grain in .packages

Th rate of multiplication or grey

LOCAL TELEPHONE HAS
VERY RAPID GROWTH
AND SERVICE
All Portions of Clackamas
Countw United in Busi
ness and Social Way
GREAT FUTURE SEEN
Twenty-two Operators Required to
Care for Average of 7000 Calls
Received Daily
The first telephone exchange in
Oregon City was established in 1893
by the Oregon Telephone and Tele
graph Co. to connect local business
people to the toll line which had pre
viously been built between this city
and Portland. In fact the construc
tion of this ton line was one of the
first developments of the telephone in
dustry in this state as it was built
in 1879 along the west bank of th8
Willamette River by the Oregon and
California Railway Company.
In 1896, when the number of sub
scribers on this line was 33 the tele
phone was classed as a luxury. In
1897, a new switchboard was put in
with 100 lines installed. In 1905 the
open wires on the principal streets
were replaced with aerial .cables. By
1910 service had been-- extended to
West Linn, Gladstone, Canemah.
In 1919, the Home phone system
was absorbed and the plant dismant
led by the present company.
At the Oregon City office, thrift is
the slogan of the 22 employees to the
extent that their savings in the com
pany stock amounts to $8160. This
is another indication of their loyalty
to and faith in the company.' Their
courtesy is highly commendable.
Of these employes receiving over
12500 per month, sixteen are from lo
cal homes and a part of the city's so
cial and business life.
The service covers twentyfour
hours each day and handles an aver
age of 7,000 calls each such interval.
Of these there are between 1100 and
1200 long distance calls.
There are 1535 telephone stations
now served from the Oregon City ex
change thus connecting up in a' busi
ness and social way cities and farms,
factories and homes in every portion
of Clackamas county with other por
tions of the state. The Pacific Com
pany has an investment of $130,000
in its equipment and plant required to
furnish this service here.
This year .'the company has spent
over $2500 for improvements here. It
believes in a still greater future and
is still mindful of the future progress
demanded of it .
