Carll; "W. E. Wilson. Luther Moore and Police Offi cers Shaw and Noblett, who testified that the conduct and actions of the defend ant Lauth. on the night preceding the shooting, as "well as the morning on which the crime was committed, -were not those of a sane man, the purpose being to show that Lauth was temporarily in sane and not responsible for the shooting it was admitted he had done.

He said in part: "The law presumes every man to bo sane until he establishes in the minds of the Jury, beyond a reasonable doubt, the fact of his Insanity. In other woras, tno burden is upon the party claiming in sanity as a defense to make out that de fense beyond a reasonable doubt, and if you have any reasonable doubt as to whether the prisoner at the time of the commission of the alleged homicide, if he did commit it, was sane or Insane, the state Is entitled to the benefit of such doubt and you should reject such de fense."

This city nas three saloons, eacn or wmcn has been paying 5400 a year license "When prohibition becomes effective Jan uary 1. $900 -will have to be refunded to the saloonkeepers. The loss of the reve nue from the liquor traffic will have to be made up either by a higher tax levy or a special tax on business enterprises. The general opinion is that the city will bo able to get along without tho saloon licenses though It will have to economize. The total levy In Tillamook City this year was 45 mills on an assessed valuation of $183,000. 6 mills of which went into the town treasury, about 51000 in all. The charter does not permit more than 2 mills for general purposes. The debt of the town will be about $1500, at the first of the new year and the Council to be elected next month will have to deviso means for meeting the deficit. Nehalem. a town of 50 persons, has a saloon which pays $400 a year license and which will have to go out of business. The town incorporated so as to be able to collect the license for public improve ments. Early In the year Nehalem had two saloons and Tillamook five, but there was not enough business for that num ber. The present disposition of the people of Tillamook -County Is to give the law a fair trial. To this end prominent citi zens have formed a nonpartisan law-enforcement league. Tho local option law and prohibition carried In the county be cause the people wanted violation of ihe gambling and liquor laws stopped. Sa loonkeepers and gamblers now see that they themselves were to blame for the county'c going "dry." Hitherto both county and city authori ties have been lax in enforcing the laws against gambling and illegal liquor sell ing. Last week the grand Jury Indicted several saloonkeepers .and gamblers, hauled Sheriff Woolfe and Constable Marshall over the coals, and Instructed the District Attorney to explain to these officers their duties. There Is every rea son to believe that prohibition will be enforced in the county. iyiJUHQTiQH AS.KE.O IN COOS. ProhifcKion Alleged to Have Been Signed Irregularly. MARSHFIELD. Or.. Nov. 23.

DAM IS A MENAGE Fish Warden Would Have More Stringent Laws Made, PASSAGEWAY SHOULD BE EASY Take by Rod or Net Should Not Be Permitted Wlthin-Five Miles of Obstruction In Any Ore gon Stream. SALEM, Or., Nov. 23. (SpeciaL) The dam as a menace to the fishing industry in Oregon Is one of the important .sub jects discussed in the biennial report of Master Fish Warden Van Dusen, and con cerning which he recommends the enact- ment of stringent laws. He would not only require builders of dams to construct fish ways in accordance with plans ap proved by the Fish Commission, but would also forbid fishing In the vicinity of a dam. Six hundred feet, the limit under the present law, Is too close, he thinks, for fishing with a rod and line, and he would not permit other kinds of fishing within five miles. Upon this subject he says In part: From the experience had with dams and such obstructions during the past two years, I am fully persuaded, that any one being privi leged the right to harness and take the waters of this state for power, irrigating or other pur poses, can, without Jeopardizing their Interests, well afford to put In and maintain good and easy passageways for fish directly through their dams so that fish will have no trouble in ascending or descending the stream. The law should set out clearly what sort of a flshway should be provided, and require of all persons desiring to obstruct any of the waters of this state by a dam or otherwise, that they first prepare plans and specifica tions of the dam or obstruction contem plated, together with the proposed flshway. and secure the approval of the State Fish Warden before being allowed to put In such obstruction, for it is much easier and less expense to have the passageway built right In the first place. The principal trouble arises where dams have already been built and fishways must be put In afterwards; the owner thinks the passageway he has provided is good enough and does not like the additional expense when required to make a change. My opin ion is that a party rfhould at all times be required to maintain and keep free the pass ageway for fish, which should, in the first place, be constructed according to the stat utes, and if ho fails to maintain such a flsh way and to keep the same free and easy for the passage of nsh at all times he be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor and subject to pros ecution by any peace officer or any other person. The matter of fishing in the flshway. or within COO feet thereof, should be modified, and made so that It would be a misdemeanor to fish within a specified distance of the dam as well as that of the flshway. for the fish ore sure to be stopped and their ascent of the stream interfered with to a great extent by the dam no matter how easy a flshway may be provided, and while they are stopped and shut off In this way they should be left alone and protected to the fullest extent. The limit, that is. 600 feet for hook and line fishing. is altogether too close, es pecially for large streams, and other than rod and line fishing should be limited to at least five miles, or restricted entirely. The dam is, without doubt, one of the most serious affairs that we have to contend with today, for they are invariably located on the best salmon-breeding streams that we have, and stop and Interfere with the salmon as cending the stream to their spawning grounds or the hatchery, and if concessions are not made In the matter of fishing streams, on which these dams are located, it will only be a -question of a few years before the salmon product will be lost entirely to the stream, for they are sure to collect In great numbers below the dams, where they will remain for days before taking the flshway. and? are a great temptation to the unscrupu lous fisherman. It Is a well-known fact by those familiar with the subject thatno dam that has stood the freshets, and has proven to have been a complete obstruction to salmon for a period of years, has ever been constructed across any of the streams of this state without completely ruining the stream forever thereafter as a salmon-breeding stream. , To guard against this tremendous destruc tion stringent laws should be passed, and the people themselves, that is the"wner or occupant of the dam. should be required to maintain a bailiff continually on the prem ises to see to it that the salmon and other fish are not molested In any way. and that the said owner or occupant be held person ally liable and guilty of a misdemeanor it they neglect to do this. The waters. In the first place, rightfully belonged to the salmon product, which has brought millions of dol lars into this state, and will so continue tp Ao long- after the mills and mines are a thing of the past. If it is rightly fostered. Be that as it may, they are entitled to the right-of-way and should not be shut off or Interfered with from ascending the stream to the hatchery or to their spawning grounds. DIVORCEE CHARGES FRAUD.

Commons, and "War ren Charles, who depose as to the reia tlons that existed between the husband and wife during the pendency of the divorce suit. Mr. and Mrs. Linn are both young people, the wife being but 25 years of age. Tho husband Is engaged in the sawmill business near tnis city.
