Vessel To Have Length Of 150 Feet,
Thirty Feet Beam And Will
Have 300 Ton
Capacity
With a clause Inserted in the con
tract that she must be completed on
or before August 15, a sternwheel pas
senger and freight steamer will be
built by Joseph Supple for the Ore
gon City Transportation Company at
an approximate cost of $30,000. The
work Is to be started immediately.
The new steamer, which will be
christened the Graemona, will be 150
feet long, 30 feet beam and 4 feet 9
Inches deep. Hy long odds she will
be the largest and speediest steamer
ever placed in regular service be
tween Portland and points on the up
per Willamette River. She will have
an excursion license for carrying
about 400 passengers. Her freight
capacity will be from 200 to 300 tons.
Despite her bIza It Is declared that
the steamer will draw no more than
18 Inches of water when she Is launch
ed. During the latter part of the Sum
mer she will ply between Portland
and Salem and way landings. In
September, or following the low-wat
er season, she will run through to
Corvallls, the head of navigation.
When she has been completed the
owners will have three steamers min
ing out of Portland to points on the
upper Willamette River. The other
two are the Pomona and Uregona, but
the Graemona will be the flagship of
the fleet
Supple's shipyards will be operated
to capacity during the next few
months. In addtion to building the
river steamer an ocean carrier is be
ing turned out at the same plant This
is the Minnie E. Kelton, which Is be
ing converted from a barge Into a

ing made to have her ready to go In
commission by the middle of July.
She will carry lumber to San Fran

BOSTON, May 1. President Taft

the Republican national convention In
Chicago and former President Roose

dny of the fiercest political battle ev
er seen in New England when com
plete returns from all but three small
towns in the state were tabulated.
On the figure themselves Taft and
Roosevelt split even. Each bad 18
delegates. Roosevelt got 10 straight
out delegates and his list of delegates
at largo, eight in all, defeated those
pledged for Taft Thla left the count
even, each having 18.

the delegates at large will fall In with

This afternoon General Champlin,

despite the fact that they had been
defeated by supporters of Colonel
RooBevclt. He contends that the Tart
delegates-at-Iarge reaiiy receiveu a
maiority in the preferential primary,
As the returns come In Clark's plu
rality over Woodrow Wilson continues
to gro
It is believed that the defeat of Sen
ator Murray Crane at the primaries
as delegate-at-large for Taft means his
retirement from political me.
The Roosevelt supporters still claim
victory. They now lay claim to one

Is true the Colonel will have 19 dele

Champlin said this afternoon:
pynm President Taft a victory In
the primaries. I am satisfied that ev-
rv fair minded man ueucca w.i
Mooaaiiiiaotta wants him to w nomi

mainly through a blunder in maims

Riherlich a name, who ran as an In
dependent delegate, waa placed at the
top of the original list of Taft dele
gates, confused nunurcua vi .uvci.,
who marked Siberllch'a name and

This throws out those ballots, except

UP HARVESTER TRUST
WASHINGTON, April 29. The de
partment of Justice announced today
that a suit to dissolve the Interna
tional Harvester company would be
filed tomorrow In the United States
court at St Paul, Minn.
President Taft and Attorney Gen
eral Wlckersham, it is stated, decided
at a coherence held here yesterday
to file the action against the "har
vester trust"
The first government investigation
of the harvester combination took
place In 1907, while Theodore Roose
velt was president The evidence
was worked up by W. B. Townsend,
special government prosecutor, who
Is well known in Oregon for cases he
has handled there. It was by Presi
dent Roosevelt's order, it haa been
declared, that the prosecution of the
harvestor trust was not carried on
at that time.
The harvester trust was the result
of action of the McCormick harvest
er company about 1902 in combining
with largest manufacturers of farm
machinery In the country. Relentless
competition with firms not taken In
to the combine drove most ot them
from the field.
The combine would not handle its
goods through dealers, but establish
ed agencies In the princlpul cities.
These agents were compeled to main
tain a certain fixed price.
This Is the first time the case wiu
have come Into the courts.
ALBRIGHT AND STORY SAY THEY
HAD RIGHT TO USE
NETS
APRIL GRAND JURY TO ACT TODAY
Attorney For Defendants Says Clients
Will Win Test Case
Law Is
Quoted
Declaring that they fished with neta
for salmon In violation of the ruling
of the Fish and Game Commission
In order to test the order, John F.
Albright and Nick Story, said Mon
day they were confident they would
be acquitted. They were arrested
Saturday night by Deputy Fish Ward
ens A. S. Noonan and R. Sandstrom,
while fishing below the suspension
bridge. Their tackle, boats and fish
were not confiscated.
"We consulted one of the best law
yers in the county before we decided
to violate the order," said Mr.
Albright "The Grand Jury will
probably Indict us tomorrow and we
shall plead not guilty. The trial
will be the test of the order. We
contend that we bad as much right
to use nets aa other flBhermen bad
to use lines. The law provides for
3 closed river to all kinds of fishing
from March 15 to April 15. but the
board arbitrarily closed the river to
net fishing from March 1 to May 1,
but held that fishing with lines would
be legal during that time. We con
tend, first that the board had no
right to make the order and that we
did not violate the law for we were
arrested April 27 when the law spe
cifically says that the river shall be
open after April 15.
'The salmon Industry means at
least $100,000 to Oregon City and
Clackamas County annually, and It
is our intention to see if the board
can make orders despite the reading
of the statute. Thousands of dollars
worth of fish have been caught since
the order became effective with hook
and line. Most of these fish were
sold to dealers, and the fishing being
upon a commercial basis, there Is no
reason why nets cannot be used, es
pecially when the law la so plain
upon the subject"
J. E. Hedges, who represents Al
bright and Story, said hia client! de
sired to test the law, and he was con
fident they woud win. He said the
law was plain and it had not been
violated. The following is the section
upon which the fishermen hope to
escape:
'The board of Fish Commissioners
is authorized by this act to propa
gate the stock in the various water
and streams of this state with sal
mon, sturgeon, trout or other food
fishes not inimical to or destructive

authorized to close any stream or
any designated portion thereof in
this state frequented by salmon or
any stream which they have stocked
and prevent any person taking or
fishing for or catching any salmon
or food fishes therein. Should the
Board ot Fish Commissioners desire
to close any stream or designated por
tion thereof frequented by salmon or
any stream or any designated portion
thereof which they have stocked with
good fish, they shall cause notice
thereof to be filed in the office of the
county clerk In each county in which
such stream or designated portion
thereof lies, and shall publlch such
notice in some public newspaper pub
lished at the county seat in such coun
ty or counties for four successive
weeks. Such notice shall designate
as nearly as practicable the streamB
or designated portions thereof to be
closed, and shall state that on and
after a date therein stated it will be

banks of such streams or designated
portion thereof.
"Upon the completion of the publi
cation of such notice, the same, with
proof of the publication and posting
thereof, shall be filed with the origi
nal notice ot the county clerk, and it
shall be unlawful at any time after
the expiration ot the date specified In
said notice for any person to fish for,
catch, or take any salmon, or any
