OREGON CITY, OREGON, FRIDAY, MAY 17,1918. ESTABLISHED 188 SHOEMAKER SAYS SUE UNABLE TO Stating that neither tha Governor nor tho Fish and Game Commission has authority under tha law to optin any at rnum dosed by tha legislature to not 0nhhii and that tha only seat tf authority (or such action la vested in tha United States Food AdmlnUv trator, Carl I). Shoemaker, Btate Gajna Wardn, refuted In a statement yesterday, tha contention of aoma local fishermen that the Governor hud tha power if he chose to open the Willamette, rtver above the sus pension bridge to the falla, to the till net fishermen. The statement of Mr. Shoemaker folio a: There haa been considerable con troversy among fishermen In Oregon OMy, regarding the power of the Gov. ernor to open the Willamette river above the auapanalon bridge to gill nt tubing. It haa been contended that both the Govornor and the Fish and Gam a Commlaalon have thla author ity. The confualon. however, arises through an act of the laat leglalature which reads as follows: "Provided that the Bute Hoard of Fish and Game Commissioners, may at tholr discretion, and at such tlmea and undiir such regulations aa they may .adopt, poriult the aale of any game anlmala, Kama birds, or same flab, the aa e of which la otherwise prohibited by law." Thla quotation will be found In paragraph Be of chapter 297, or the law of 117. Acting under the authority veated 1o thla section. the'FUh and Game Commission permitted the taking of catfish In the Wlltnmmvtte Slough, and the aale thereof. It also permitted the taking of Dolly Vardon trout In any of the watera of Oregon and the aale ot the aame In the counties where caught Thla applies solely and only to Rame fish, game blrda, and game anlmala. It la on account of thla action on tin nart of the Commission that the fishermen have concluded that the Governor and the Finn and Game Commission have 0 right to open up a closed portion of a atream. Tho Fish end Game Commlaalon haa no rlKht to open up any closed season or closed atream which has been cosed by the legislature. The legislature has however, granted the right to the Fish and Game Commla alon to close any open season or any open stream, Thla was done for the reason that from time to tlm certain streams become depicted, and for the best Interests of future angling ana fishing, It would be the part of wis dom to closo that atream. It was under this authority, and on account of this reaaon that tho Clackamas river was cltised to net fishing. The sole authority to suspend state laws effecting commercial flHhlng la vnatod In the United States Food Ad ministration. Whether tho necessity exists In this case Is a mutter for thut body to determine. Governor .Wlthycombe haa been a slnoors friend of commercial fisher men and sportsmen. He has never wavered or hesitated In advocating the doing of whut he thought was for the best Interests of both. lie should not be criticised for not doing thut which he has no power to do, and tluit la the case at Oregon City now. when the commercial flshormen censor the Governor for not opening the Willam ette river to net fishermen. He has no more authority or power to do this than tha flshormen themselves. Personally I boSeve thnt there Is a more friendly spirit existing be tween the commercial fishermen at Oregon City, and tha Fish nnd Game Commission today than ever before In the history ot the Commission. I welcome such a show of cooperation, nnd look forward to the time when all of these matters may be worked out in a friendly and pleasant way.

Honk Honk Ford Horn Camouflages Motorist Speed Cop Has Laugh Here's a lesson In high finance for you. A prominent professional man of Oregon City, who drives a high powered auto was flipping along the White House drive one day recently. He was well within the speed limit he declares, going along, bothering no one, when an abnoxious horn, known to be on only one make ot motor vehicles, honked behind. It kept on honking.

When oth- era elected by Oregon were elth- er wabbling or of questionable $ loyalty as the country's crisis $ aproached, Governor Wlthycombe $ $ was vigorously on the job of sus- $ talnlng national honor in all the many ways a state governor $ $ may help his country in emerg- S enoy. The patriotic people of $ $ Oregon are not going to forget Governor Wlthycombe. "Why fc 3 swap horses , while crossing a $ stream?"

Senator Chamberlain, of Oregon, who Introduced the resolution of In quiry, called before the Senate expen ditures committee considering It de clared there was no intention of in vestigating the "conduct of the war" and that the resolution was worded as If It was only to give the military committee of which he is chairman authority to resume its previous Investigations.
