Possible Successor; Naming
of Provisional Head Slow.
DUBLIN, Jan. 9. Ireland tonight
was without a government of its own.
Eamon de Valera had resigned from
the presidency and the proposal for
his re-election to that office, which
includes the office of premier, was
defeated in the Dail Eireann, 60 to 58.
The supporters of the treaty were
not anxious to submit any name for
the presidency. Michael Collins sub
mitted a motion that the Dail should
request Arthur Griffith to form a pro
visional government.
A noteworthy feature of Mr. de
Valera's Jater statement was that talk
of fratricidal strife was all nonsense;
the Irish people would know how to
conduct themselves.
He objected to the creation of any
alternative government which would
suppress the Dail, and declared that
if the republic as it existed were
abandoned he and his followers
would walk out.
The Willamette river, through a de-
cision rendered by Judge J. U. Camp
bell in the Circuit Court Saturday, is j
onen to commercial ulmnn fishina. '
Judge Campbell sustained the de
murer of the defense brought in the
appeal of the case of the state against
Charles Gates, which was tried in the
Justice court. Gates was arrested Jan
uary 4 for violation of the game code
ruling that there shall be no commer
cial fishina north rf -fhft Oreonn flitv
INCLUDED IN DEFEAT! bridge to the juncture of the Willam
ette and the Columbia. Based upon
the recent legislation creating a closed
and open season on the Columbia and
Willamette rivers, Judge Campbell
held the defendant wag completely
within his rights.
AUTHORITY CONTESTED
Gilbert L. Hedges appeared for the
fishermen and In arguing the demur
rer contended that the section author
izing the fish commission to close
streams in the state of Oregon to fish
ing for commercial purposes had been
so amended that it. was without vitali
ty and gave to the Commission no
such power. He- called to attention
that there was a specific st passed
by the legislative assembly in 1921
creating an open and closed season
on the Willamette river north Of the
bridge at Oregon City, arid that de
fendant, in the case in question, was
within his rights and protected under
the enactment. ,
Originally the fish commission had
power to close the stream to to sal
mon fishing and to fishing for other
food fishes in the streams of the state
under a section in the fish and game
code first passed in 1901. But Hedges
contended this section had been so
amended and the Legislative Assembly
of 1921 had also passe da special act
defining open and closed seasons on
the Willamette river, that the' two
were in conflict and that the act con
ferring the authority on the fish com
mission to close the stream was ne
gatived and nullified by this specific
act relating to the Willamette river, i
CODE IS ABUSED
Speaking of Judge Campbells ruling, j
Mr. Hedges said that the fish and j
game code was always made a foot- j
ball in Legislative assemblies, and the
original code had been so amended,
changed, altered and revised in many
places that it was contradictory, and
in most places was indefinite and un
certain. "The trouble, with most fish
legislation," continued Mr. Hedges, is
that it is not prepared in advance of
the legislative assembly and that
amendments and changes are made at
the eleventh hour and these are us
ually contradictory and ill-considered.
The result is our fish and game code
is in dire need of a thorough revision
by those competent to make it. If
this were done, much of the trouble
usually encountered in enforcing the
fish laws would disappear."
The case was the outgrowth of dif
ficulties with the fish and game com
mission dating to the first of last
year. On the night of April 26, a num

WASHINGTON, Jan. 9 The sub

was prepared to begin discussion of
the final draft of the pact, probably
later in the day or tomorrow.
Limitation of development or use of

fight with wardens of the commission
who were enforcing the game code
regulations. Subsequently 14 of the
local men were placed under arrest,
but at their trial before Judge Noble
May 3, were cleared by the jury.
The matter was then taken up by
the commission, which May 11, issued
an order, effective June 1, closing the
river to all net or other fishing for
commercial purposes.
Gates, who was one of the leaders
in the affair, was found fishing in the
river last Wednesday, and arrested
by Constable Ed. Fortune on a war
rant charging him with violation of
the code. Taken before Judge Noble,
he was convicted on strength of the
law, and fined $50. The case was
immediately taken into the c'rcuit
court, where the demurer presented
by the defense was taken under ad
visement, and Judge Campbell's order
issued Saturday.
A proposal to license rooming

At present, the chief says, Oregon
City has no license plan for public
places of an ordinary nature, and
thus it is practically Impossible to en
force regulations without a ser(ies of
criminal prosecutions,-' and even if
such were undertaken it would be
practically impossible to make them
close their doors.
If a system of licensing were inaug
urated, it is pointed out, the council
would then have direct control of
practically every public place in the
city. If they were not operating In
accordance with the regulations of the
charter the license would be revoked.
Thus an effective check upon them
would be provided.
Chief May points out that In the
great majority of cases no such rule
is necessary but that if it did exist
it would serve as a means for the
handling of one or two places beyond
the reach of present regulations.
A license, placing houses under
municipal supervision would, it is
said, have a good moral effect upon
the town in general as the individuals
operating these, places would be less
liable to .violate the laws, knowing
that they could be put out of business.

starting homeward, including Ger

ember 2nd Mr. Sondergard embarked
on the steamship Hillig Olav at New
York, and made the trip over-seas In
nine days. The homeward trip re
quired 14 days.
He visited his home at Copenhagen,
where his father, H. N. Sondergard,
two sisters and two brothers, whom
he had not seen for eight years re
side. After some time at his old home
he started on his journey to see some
of the other countries of Europe. He
first visited Berlin, Germany, where
he found all factories in operation,
many of which were operating day
and night, while in that city he made
a special trip to view the home of the
Ex-Kaiser, and found that a number
of the buildings still show the damage
done by the revolutionists. He also
visited Hamburg, where he' found the
best of hotel acomodations at 175
marks, equivalent in American coin
being $1 a day. Beer is selling at one
cent a glass, and champagne (in U. S.
money) was being disposed Of at 25

We are entering our 40th year of business his
tory in the Pacific Northwest. In making this
statement, it is not our desire to point out the
growth we have made but rather to make
plain the fact that we know and recognize the
fundamental basis of business success. The
buyer must receive full value for his money,
and a fair and square deal in every trans
action. In no department is this policy so manifest as
in our used car department. Buyers have
found that we handle used cars in a new way.
We maintain a special department in our shop
for overhauling and refinishing used cars. We
put our cars in serviceable condition many
of them look and run like new. All of them
are genuine bargains at our prices. We will
take light cars in trade and make convenient
terms. Before you buy any car come and look
over our select stock of high grade low priced

the fact that Gladstone . had some
very unsanitary conditions. Mention
was especially made of the fact there

was suggested that the council de-

report showed that the city would
have to pay Portland $720 a month
for water alone. Thin would not in
clude the cost of putting in the neces
sary water mains or changing the
present system or the putting in of
the water mains to the city limits. Ac
