THE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, MARCH 12, 1901. IS REPEAL IMPLIED? Point In Law Abolishing Fish Commissioner. COURTS DISFAVOR THIS RULE Oregon XcgriNlnture, However, Fniled to Kill Former Act In Direct Way-Question In Can Two Men Hold Same Job. SALEM, March 11. "Whether F. C. Reed can hold the office of State Fish Com missioner promises to be an Interesting question. The act under which he held office created a "Fish CommlFsioner," and he was appointed under Us provisions. The new law provides for a "Board of Fish Commissioners," who have author ity to appoint a Master Fish "Warden, deputy, etc. The duties of these two sets of officials are practically the same. The question that will be presented Is whether the new law repeals the old one by Impli cation, and thus ousts Mr. Reed from office. There can be no question that Mr. Van Dusen can hold his office, unless some defect should be discovered In the new law, rendering It unconstitutional. "Whether Oregon Is to have two officials to perform practically the same duties 1b tho question. It Is a rule of law, asserted by the Ore gon Supreme Court -as well as by the highest tribunals of nearly every other state, that repeals by Implication are not favored, and will not be decreed, un less it is clear that the Legislature so Intended. It is Invariably the rule that court3 will make every effort to support an act of the Legislature, and If it can be reasonably allowed to stand, a later ect will not be held to repeal a former one by implication. In tho present case the records of the Legislature will show that the fishery bill, as Introduced contained a section ex pressly repealing the act under which Fish Commissioner Reed held office: This section was stricken out in the Senate The House concurred In this action. Thus, It would seem on the face of the record that, after due consideration, the Legis lature decided not to repeal the former act. However, there are many rules of law which oppose these presumptions in favor of Mr. Reed's Incumbency. In the Amer ican and EngliBh Encyclopedia of Law it is said: "If two statutes on the same subject are mutually repugnant, and irreconcila ble, tho later act without any repealing clause operates, In the absence of any ex pressed intent to the contrary, as a repeal of the former. But even In such case, the old law is repealed only pro tanto to the extent of the repugnancy; and gener ally speaking, such parts of the prior act as may be Incorporated into the subse quent statute consistently therewith must be considered in force. "In the absence of any repealing clause it is, however, necessary to the Implica tion of a repeal that the object of the statutes as well as the subject be the same; if they are not, both Statutes will stand, though they refer to the same subject. "Where two acts are not In express terms repugnant, but the later covers the whole subject-matter of the earlier, not purporting to amend it, and plainly shows that It was intended as a substitute for the earlier. It will operate as a repeal thereof, though all of the provisions of the repeal may not be repugnant. But there must be an unmistakable Intent manifested on the part of the Legislature to make the new act a substitute for the old, and to contain all the law on the sub ject; for mere similarity In the provis ions of the two statutes is Tiot enough to effect a repeal, even though the similar ity may be such as to cause confusion or inconvenience. "Even where the later statute covers the whole ground of the earlier. If there is an expressed dclaration of Intention against a repeal by implication, the courts will let both acts stand and construe them as Instituting two separate systems of accomplishing the same object, unless such a construction Is impossible. "Where the object and reason for which a statute was passed arc removed by a later enactment, there is an Implied repeal of the former statute. The new fish law prescribes In detail many duties of the Master Fish Warden, among them the Issuing of licenses, col lection of feos, etc, and section 3S says: "It shall also be his duty to devote his entire time and attention to the fishing interests and fishing Industries of the state; see that all laws for the protec tion, preservation and propagation of all food fishes and oysters and shell fishes in the water and streams of this state are enforced." While It is possible that the new law might leave some minor duties to whloh the Fish Commissioner might give his attention, it would seem that the new law has transferred nearly all the Com missioner's work to tho Master "Warden and his deputies. This being the cane, the courts might hold that the reason for sup porting tho old law having been removed, the law would be declared repealed by implication. "WILL BUILD MORE HATCHERIES. Finn Warden Van Dnnen Propones to Increase Number of Salmon. ASTORIA, March 1L Master Fish War de Van Dusen stated this morning that it was his intention during the coming year greatly to Increase the number of artificially propagated salmon placed in the Columbia. To accomplish this he will construct a number of small hatcheries, as well as a large central one. He also Intends to encourage private Individuals to eye eggs, which he will purchase for the state. Mr. Van Dusen does not care where the eggs come from, so long as they have been properly eyed, and he will be prepared to purchase millions of them. There is at present over $20,000 in the state treasury available for propagation pur poses, and it Is the Intention to expend this money as rapidly as it can be done judiciously. Water Bailiff Fred Wlckman returned this afternoon from his first trip on the Columbia River in search of persons fish ing Illegally. He found and seized five set-nets In Young's Bay, near .the railway trestle. In one of them were two chinook salmon. These were sold at auction by the Fish Warden, and netted the. state ?1 OS. "When the nets were picked up no one was near them, and as yet they have not been claimed. This evening Bailiff Wlckman left on the launch Eagle to patrol the upper river, and expects to be absent about a week. The options given the Onffroy syndicate on the Alaska canneries of the Alaska Fishermen's Packing Company and the Taku Inlet Packing Company, both of this place, expire March 2S. The prices given are understood to be on the basis of H to one on the capital stock of the com panies. The formation of the syndicate is reported to be nearly completed, and it Is expected the sale of these plants will be made. The effect of the failure of Congress to pass the river and harbor bill, with Its appropriations for the mouth of the Co lumbia River, is already being felt here. Saturday about 40 of the "men who have been enmloyed on the jetty were dis- cbarced. and it Is expected that more will be laid off in the near future. There Is but a small amount of work that can be done during the coming two years, un less an extra session of Congress should be held and the appropriation bill passed. This means that a small force of men will be employed, principally to keep the ma chinery in good order. The Astoria Commercial Club was or ganized here this evening with a mem bership of about 150 of the business and professional men of the city. The object of the organization Is to promote the commercial interests of the city and to provide amusement for Its members. Several suits brought against E. T. Johnson, who had the contract for the removal of the Sylvia de Grasse reef, were set for hearing In the Justice Court today, but were postponed until tomor row, when, it Is asserted, they will be settled and all the claims for labor paid In full. This afternoon a suit was filed against him by Angus Campbell to re cover fo6 10 for labor performed. PAPER MILL IMr ROVED. f Bridal Veil Plnnfs Ontpnt "Will Be Lnrsrcr nml Better. BRIDAL VEIL, Or..

March 1L Representa tives of the Fish Lake Irrigation & Ditch Company are In Medford and are busily engaged In securing the right of way for the line of an Irrigation ditch, which will originate at a point on Little Butto Creek about 30 miles northeast of Medford. Nearly all the right of way has been se cured to Dry Creek, to which point the company expects to have tho ditch com pleted by December. This canal, when completed, will bring under cultivation about 150.000 acres of arid land In the Rogue River Valley which is now worthless. The ditch will be about C5 miles long, and will carry 10.000 miners' Inches of water. The work will be under the supervision of the company. Fish Lake, which Is situated 55 miles north east of Medford, the source of the north fork of Little Butte Creek, is a sheet of water about two miles long. It varies from one-half to three-quarters of a mile in width, and affords a natural reservplr. Tho waters of this lake will be used In case of extremely dry weather. Besides supplying water for Medford and redeem ing the arid lands, the ditch will open up several dry placer diggings and afford power for numerous manuiactories. DEADLOCKED ON APPROPRIATIONS If It Can Be Broken, Idaho JLesls lature "Will Adjourn Today. BOISE. Idaho. March 11. The Legisla ture Is still In session. Tonight the Sen ate passed the House concurrent adjourn ment resolution, flxinir the time as 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, provided the appropriation bill Is out of the way. There is a deadlock over the measure, arising from some Senate amendments, the principal one of which Is a provision for the Adjutant-General's office. The House passed the bill without an ap propriation for the office, and the Senate incorporated one Into It. This is most ob noxious to what is called the Coeur d'Alene element, which Is bitterly opposed to the militia. In the House that portion of the fusion forces has been In control. having the speaker and tho chairman or the appropriation committee. The House revived the bill for an exhibit at the Pan-American exposition at Buffalo and passed it' as amended by the Senate. The amendment cut the appropriation down from ?25.000 to $15,000. It is under stood that ex-State Treasurer L. C. Rice will be appointed Commissioner to tho ex position. Freevrnter Cetn Ilrirnl Dellrerr. "WASHINGTON, March 11.

APPEAL IS DISMISSED SUPREME COURT RULES OX CASE AGAIXST CITY OF PORTLAND. LltlpmtloD Over 'Street Aancimmcntj Must Terminate in the Cir cuit Conrt. SALEM March 11. The Supreme Court today handed down decisions In three cases, none of which went to the merits of the controversy, but all of which In volve questions of law of general Import ance. In the case of the City of Portland, re spondent, vs. Mary W. Gaston, appellant, the court holds that under the Portland charter of 1FSS no appeal can be taken to the Supreme Court from the decision of the Circuit Court on the question of dam ages to be allowed to property-owners on the opening of a street. Tho Supreme Court, In an opinion written by Chief Justice Bean, dismisses "the appeal, but does not thereby pass upon any question decided by the Circuit Court. COLLECTOR FOR ALASKA. during the recent Senatorial campaign. The motion was made by the counsel for the City of Portland to dismiss an appeal from the Judgment of the Circuit Court rendered on an appeal from the ac tion of the Portland City Council, in the matter of the assessment of damages suf fered by the defendant In consequence of the laying out and establishment of Main street through her premises. The char ter of the city (session laws of 189S, page HG), after conferring upon the Council power to open streets, provides that the owner of any lot sought to be appropri ated may, within 20 days from the. adop tion of the report of the viewers, appeal to the Circuit Court of Multnomah Coun ty from such report and assessment of damages, limiting the Inquiry, however, on such appeal to the question of excess of damages over benefits, and that such appeal shall bo heard and Judgment thereon enforced, as far as practicable. as In an action at law. It Is also pro vided that the jury shall view the prop erty, hear the testimony, and In making the reassessment be governed by the same rules as provided for the action of view ers, and that their verdict "shall be a final and conclusive determination of such assessment." The Supreme Court says: "The right of a litigant to prosecute an appeal or writ of error Is a matter pertaining to the mode of Judicial procedure, and is not guaran teed by our constitution. The provision that this court shall have jurisdiction to revise the final decisions of the Circuit Courts Is not self-executing, and docs not mean that all decisions of such courts may be brought here for revision, in the absence of a prescribed method by which such jurisdiction may be obtained. The Legislature has the power to define in what cases and under what circumstances and In what manner an appeal may be taken to this court. In the absence of a legislative enactment to the contrary, It Is probable that an appeal will He from the Judgments or decrees of the Circuit Court under section 635 of Hill's Code. But when the Legislature has prescribed rules of procedure In special proceedings, such rules must be followed, and If they limit the right of appeal or specify the court or tribunal In which such proceed ings shall terminate, they must govern. . . . The clear meaning. It seems to us, is that the Legislature Intended that liti gation over the opening of a street, so far as the question of damages to the property-owner is concerned, should ter minate in the Circuit Court." The German Savings & Loan Society, respondent, vs. J. W. Kern et al., appel lants, on motion to recall the mandate and correct error; motion overruled. Opinion by Chief Justice Bean. The plaintiff obtained a decree foreclos ing a mortgago against defendants for 557,000 and for costs and disbursements. The property was sold to tho plaintiff upon execution on the decree, for several thousand dollars less than the amount due thereon. The sale was confirmed, and thereafter the defendants appealed from the decree foreclosing the mortgage, and gave an appeal bond, with the Fidelity & Deposit Company as surety, conditioned "that the appellants will pay all damages, costs and disbursements which may be awarded against them on appeal, and, further, that during the possession by said appellants of the said mortgaged prop erty, so decreed to be sold, they will not commit nor suffer to be committed any waste thereon, and If such decrte or any part thereof be affirmed, will pay the value of the use and' occupation of said premises so far as affirmed, from the time of the appeal until the delivery of pos session, not exceeding $2000, fixed and as certained by the said court; also that said appellants will pay any portion of such decree remaining unsatisfied after the sale of the said premises covered by said mortgage, or which now remains, after the sale of said premises, which has already been had, and in case the same Is not set aside. The decree was affirmed by the Supreme Court, which decreed that plaintiff re cover of the defendants and their surety his costs and disbursements, together with the deficiency remaining unpaid after the application of the proceeds of the sale of the mortgaged premises. The plaintiff moved to recall the man date and to amend the decree so as to Include J2000 for the use of the premises pending appeal, and the surety also moved to recall the mandate so as to strike out the portion of the decree charging it with the deficiency Judgmont The Supreme Court holds that if the plaintiff would recover the value of the use of the premises, he must pursue his remedy upon the bond, as the court has no means of fixing such value, even If It has Jurisdiction to do so upon proper showing. It is also held that the surety is liable for the amount of deficiency, and therefore both motions are overruled. J. T. Nosier, administrator, respondent, vs. Coos Bay, Roseburg & Eastern Rail, road & Navigation Company, appellant; motion to strike transcript from the files and to affirm the decree. Motion allowed. Opinion per curiam. In this case a stenographer was appoint ed in the Circuit Court, and, after taking notes of the trial, he extended his notes In long hand. The bill of exceptions re cited these facts, approved the transcript of trial, directed the clerk to make a copy of the transcript, and attach It to the bill of exceptions, and declared that the tran script be a part of the bill of exceptions, the same as If copied therein. The bill did not contain the statement of any ob jection or exception, "with so much of the evidence or other matter as Is necessary to explain it," as required by section 232 of the code. The Supreme Court holds that "the re porter's notes contain material for, but do not constitutute. a bill of exceptions, nor can they be made such by any cer tlficaet of Identification the trial Judge might make. There being, therefore, no proper bill of exceptions, the transcript is stricken from the files and the decree affirmed." BIG CREAMERY PROJECT. Portland May Be Headquarters for All "Western Oregon Plants. ALBANY, Or., March 11. It Is stated by creamery-owners here that an effort la being made by an Iowa Arm to buy up all the creameries in Western Oregon and operate them as skimming stations, with Portland as the headquarters for a large and main creamery, and that two or three creameries have been secured.

Effect of Thro-Trine Open Crovrn Min ing Claim in Alaska. VANCOUVER, B. C, March 11. A spe cial dispatch from Dawson, dated March 1. says the stampede consequent upon the throwing open of the government claims Fsbruarv 25 was the greatest since the palmy days of 1S3S. The order made avail able hundreds of lapsed claims, unsold ones, fractions, etc. Under the new regu lations the first man to arrive and make application for the ground gets It, until fraud has been shown. He may really be the tenth man who staked the claim by actual time, but he must swear that he saw no other stakes on the ground when he staked. Some of the unfortunate fel lows who went out misread the official notice and staked claims that were re served by notice In the proclamation. Their four days' vigil In a temperature 10 degrees below zero was a frightful ex perience for many of the stampeders. Quotations of Mining? Stocks. SPOKANE. March 11.
