WILL WAGE WAR
ON FISH TRAPS
Salmon Fishermen of Pacific
Coast Will Organize for.
Mutual Protection.
WANT WHEELS ABOLISHED
Gillncttera Form Union and Plan
Campaign for Abolition of Small
Mesh Contrivances Claim
Traps Are Destructive.
Ed Rosenberg, secretary of the United
Fishermen of the Pacltic, Is In Portland
In connection with a movement that or
ganization has inaugurated with a view
of protecting the ealmon fishing lndustrp
on the Coast. According to the fisher
men, the operators of flshtraps and other
varieties of stationary fishing gear do so
In violation of the United States laws,
and it is the purpose of this organization
to create ouch an agitation all over the
Coast that the Government officials, who
are said to have been lenient in the past
In dealing with cases called to their
attention, will step in and enforce the
fishing law to the letter.
"The glllnet and purse-seine fishermen
of Alaska and our Pacific Coast States
are now uniting for an active campaign
to preserve and increase our salmon fish
eries." said Mr. Rosenberg. "The fisher
men's organization believes that our
hatcheries should be Increased In capa
city, and means provided to give the
young salmon the best chance to reach
the ocean. The fishermen further Insist
that use of stationary gear be restricted.
The reasons for this are that, according
to the old Anglo-Saxon law, which in
the main comprises a portion of our law,
the fish are the common property of the
people, and no one man or set of men
has a right to prevent others from catch
ing them.
Courts "Hold Traps Illegal.
"The courts have held when stationary
gear, such as flshtraps, drive drift-net
fishermen from commog fishing grounds
by preventing them from drifting there,
the traps are illegal, even though licensed
by the State Fish Commission. The
courts held that such a license was mere
ly a roving license, and conferred no
power to oust other fishermen.
"Many flshtraps operating now In the
Columbia River are1 doing so Illegally,
simply taking advantage of the drift-net
fishermen, who, when driven from the
common fishing grounds, failed to take
the proper legal stepe to sustain their
rights. The Columbia River Fishermen's
Protective Union has engaged attorneys
to test cases of alleged encroachment on
the part of the trapmen in the future.
The Supreme Court of Washington has
upheld the right of the common fishing
ground as relating to pre-emption on the
part of trapflshing. Our organization fur
ther contends that various types of sta
tionary gear, which fish at all stages of
tides and day and night as long as the
fieh are running, prevent the fish reach
ing the natural spawning grounds In suf
ficient numbers to propagate as fast as
desirable. The traps and flshwheels In
the upper branches of our rivers are es
pecially destructive to the salmon Indus
try, and If fishing In the Columbia River
Is to bo saved, this apparatus In the up
per rivers must be abolished.
Organized Campaign Planned.
"With a view of having these contriv
ances abolished, the United Fishermen of
the Pacific are taking a determined stand
and proposes to expose through the dally
press and otherwise the destructive
method of flshtraps and flshwheels, but
In fighting these traps the fishermen only
intend to devote their attention to those
that occupy locations in violation of the
law; that is, where they occupy common
fishing grounds and wantonly destroy our
fisheries.
"Furthermore, the United States Gov
ernment Is being appealed to to prevent
flshtraps from hindering or endangering
the navigation of fishing boats. Lieutenant-Colonel
Roessler, United States Engi
neers, has been appealed to, and after a
thorough Investigation has agreed to rec
ommend to the War Department that li
censes of certain flshtraps around Point
Ellice be revoked. The fishermen have
effectually demonstrated that these traps
at certain stages of the tides absolutely
prevent fishing boats from rounding this
point, and thereby prevent the fishermen
from reaching drifting gronuds.
"The great destruction of small fish by
these traps and wheels Is due to the fact
that they are equipped with small mesh,
which not only destroys the small salmon,
but other kinds of fish as well, and as
these are usually too small for market,
they are thrown away.
"Since the fishermen of the Coast have
organized Into a body, certain uniform
laws are being framed which will be
agreed upon and urged for passage at the
next session of the Legislatures of the
respective states. There are 4000 gillnet
ters and 2000 fishing boats employed each
season, on the Columbia River. Each boat
represents an - investment of about $650,
which brings the total close up to J1.300.
000. and on the strength of this something
should be accomplished to assist the
cause they have taken up."
ATTEMPT TO CHARTER VESSELS
Portland Firm Said to Be After
Steamers on Nome Run.
SEATTLE; Wash., Aug. 20. (Special.)
It was announced today by the North
western Steamship Company that Port
land shipping men are attempting to
charter some of their vessels' now in the
Nome trade to be used this Winter on the
run between Portland and San Francisco.
The Olympla, Pennsylvania, Edith, Yuca
tan, Orizaba, Saratoga and Victoria will
be rele;ised from the Alaska trade as
soon as the Nome season closes'. The
Northwestern Steamship Company can
not use theso boats during the Winter
on any of Its present runs, and Is willing
to charter. The company will not an
nounce the names of Portlad people 'seek
ing the charter.
TEXDER MAXZAXITA IS SOLD
Dan Kern Buys Lighthouse Vessel
IV 1th a Bid of $13,341.
The lighthouse tender Manzanlta, which
was so badly damaged In a recent col
lision with the dredge Columbia that she
was ordered sold by the Government, was
bid in yesterday by Dan Kern, a Portland
contractor, who Is engaged In supplying
rock and materials for the Columbia River
Jetty.
The successful bid was $13,341. and Cap
tain P. J. Werllch, commander of the
13th lighthouse district, will recommend
to the chief of the service that this bid
be accepted. The bid of William Statman
was a close second, but as it was not ac
companied by the required 10 per cent of
the total offer of $13,000, it was not en
tered. The other bids were: Drake C.
O'Rfllly, $12,500; O. J. Humphrey. $7500;
E. W. Spencer, $0000; J. Lcve, $3556.66;
Gabriel Wallace. J2106.75; A. Leven, $1503;
J. Rubenstein $1226.
Those who put in the low bids for the
vessel were greatly surprised to learn of
the higher offers, for they had expected
to secure the craft for old junk, and had
not taken into consideration any plans
for her repair and future use as a steam
vessel.
The successful bidder will repair the
vessel and convert her into a tug to haul
barges and other craft loaded with rock
and material In the work of Improving
the Jetty and other contract work, he baa

ENDS FIRST ROUND TRIP
HILOXIAX IX PORT AFTER A
STORJIT PASSAGE VP COAST.
Brings Representatives of Several
Hawaiian Firms, AVho Are to
Buy Produce Here.
The Matson Navigation Company's
liner Hllonian arrived at Columbia dock
at 7 o'clock yesterday morning, complet
lng the first round trip between Port
land and the Islands since the establish'
xnent of steamship connection.
The Hllonian brought over 3500 tons of
sugar and fruits to San Francisco, some
of which was Intended for this city, but
owing to the enormous demand at the
southern port the entire cargo was dis
charged there, and the vessel proceeded
to- Portland with some 600 tons of gen
eral freight picked up at the Bay City
for this port.
Captain Johnson reports one of the
stormiest passages up the coast he has
ever experienced. A heavy northwest
gale prevailed during the entire uptrlp
and the forward decks of the big liner
were awash most of the time, and on
this account the vessel consumed 67 hours
between the coast ports.
, Captain Johnson also reports that when
the Hllonian reached Honolulu and Hilo
on the first voyage after calling here,
she was given a grand reception by the
merchants of the islands, who seem to
welcome the opening of trade relations
with Portland with more than a little
pleasure. This Is also testified to by
several representatives of Island firms,
who are making the present voyage on
the Hllonian with a view of establish
ing closer relations with the local mer
chants. Among them are Thomas J.
King, president and manager of the Cali
fornia Feed Company, who Is here to
buy feed, grain and alfalfa, and to In
troduce the native fruits ana other com
modities. A. W. Richardson, representing
H. Hackfeldt & Co., Is another passen
ger on the Hllonian, who is here on a
similar errand, and 'both these gentlemen
will return to the Islands on the vessel
when she departs Wednesday evening.
J. Studevant, of San Francisco, came
up on the vessel as the representative of
J. H, Davis Company, of Honolulu, and
will thoroughly investigate the local con
ditions for the firm.
The passengers coming on this trip
were Miss Guard, Miss Howel, Miss Mc
Call, Mrs. Humphreys, Mrs. Lelbold,
Thomas James King. Arthur Richardson,
William Ward M. H. Stratton, Charles
J. Jay, William Wichmer, J. Neilsen, S.
Lawlor and C. V. Sturtevant.
Of those named, the Misses Howe, Mc
Call and Guard, and Messrs. Richardson
and King will return by the vessel, and
In addition there will be several local
passengers bookid by the time the Hl
lonian sails tomorrow night.
Besides the 26 head of horses scheduled
for the Islands, the vessel will have about
2000 tons of local freight, and 900 bales
of hay from San Francisco.
When the work of unloading the vessel
was begun yesterday Fred Jackson, a
longshoreman, fell Into the hold and was
painfully, but not seriously, injured.
Marine Notes.
The schooner Virginia finished loading
lumber yesterday and cleared for , San
Francisco. She will leave down this
morning and is expected to return Imme
diately for another cargo.
The British steamship Beckenham will
finish loading lumber today, and will
clear for the Orient. She will go to
Comox, B. C, first to take on a supply
of coal before crossing the Pacific.
Captain P. J. Werllch, commander of
the Thirteenth Lighthouse District, re
turned on the tender Heather yesterday
from a trip to Vancouver Island, where
he went to replace a buoy that had gone
adrift.
The steamer Alliance is due to arrive
In the local harbor Thursday evening,
according to advices received by Agent
F. P. Baumgartner yesterday. She is
bringing the usual full cargo of freight
and passengers. , '
The Portland & Asiatic liner Numantla
will probably finish discharging her cargo
at the Ainsworth dock tomorrow, and will
be taken down to the Portland Flouring
Mills to commence loading for the return
trip to the Orient.

Captain Bruin Files Charges
With Police Commission
Against Detective,
MAY COST HIM POSITION
Day Is Accused of Insubordination
and Xeglect of Duty In Ignor
ing Orders of the Po
lice Department. ' 1
Detective Joe Day, of the Portland
police force, was suspended yesterday by
Acting Chief Qrltzmacher on the rec
ommendation of Captain of Detectives
Bruin, and will have a trial before the
Police Commission of the city on the
charge of Insubordination and neglect of
duty.
Captain Bruin In his recommendation
to chief Grltzmacher made the statement
that Detective Day has been very In
effective during the last six months and
at the same time has failed to comply
with the order of the department, which
instructed the detectives to report at
the headquarters at certain hours and
keep In constant contact with the de
partment. "He has not only become disobedient,"!
says Captain Bruin In his report, "but
Is obnoxious to other members and to
citizens generally."
Captain Bruin further asked in his
recommendation that Detective Day be
immediately suspended pending Investi
gation of his misconduct by the Police
Commission.
Day Ignored Department Orders
It Is evident from the charges placed
against Day by Captain Bruin that Day
actually paid no attention to the orders
of the department and did Just as he
pleased. In June, Detective Day made
only four oral reports on the 36 cases
that were assigned to him, and In July
he had not reported on a single case
which was intrusted to him.
Captain Bruin admits that Joe Day's
total disregard of the department's or
ders resulted in a partial demoraliza
tion of the entire detective force. Seeing
Joe Day "take things easy" the other
members of the detective fqree became
somewhat lax in execution of the orders.
but a marked change was noticeable yes'
terday when nearly every detective on
the force hastened to make a belated
report on the case on which each one
was working.
As a further evidence that the decapi
tation of Joe Day's official head had a
beneficial effect on the force the detec
tives kept In constant touch with the
department yesterday over the telephone
and Captain Bruin expressed his gratifi
cation over the detectives' sudden out
burst of zeal.
Following Is a copy of the charges
preferred by Captain Bruin against De
tective Day with the Police Commission:
Captain Bruin's Charges.
"I have the honor to prefer charges
against Detective Joseph Day, of the Po
lice Department of this city, and hereby
allege that he is guilty of neglect of duty
and Aeglect and disobedience of orders
In the following manner, which Is to say:
"On the 6th day of November, 1905, the
chief of police promulgated and Issued
an order, directed to the detective branch
of this department, in which it was or
dered that the said officers should make
regular reports of their respective cases
and of the duties performed by theni;
that. In pursuance of this order, which
was duly read to all of the said officers,'
Including Detective Day, the Inspector
from time to time made orders fixing
the time of duty, of the several detec
tives and detailing them for such duty
from time to time as were presented for
Investigation; that said Officer Day has
failed to report for duty so required
from time to time, and in no case has he
reported In accordance with the above
order cited, ana has failed wholly to
make written reports of cases assigned
to him.
"During the month of June, 190$. there
were 36 cases assigned to htm, and be
made no written report on any of them,
and an oral report on but four of them,
and during the month of July he had 17
cases (having ' had vacation during this
month), and has made no report of these
cases, either oral or written; that his
willful disobedience of trcTers has had the
effect of causing other officers to become
less regular in their duties, and he per
sistently refuses to so make his reports
In accordance with the aforesaid order;
that the copy of the aforesaid order
hereto attached Is made a part of these
charges and specifications by reference;
that the effectiveness of the whole ser
vice Is Jeopardized by the failure and
neglect of such officers.
"I therefore recommend that you take
such action as may be deemed proper In
the premises."
"Not Personal," Says Bruin.
Although Captain Bruin had- several
official tilts with Day since the former
took charge of the detective service, he
stated yesterday that the charges against
Day were In no way prompted by' per
sonal prejudice. Captain Bruin also de
clared that he will proceed in a like man
ner with any member of Ithe force who
Is found neglectful in the discharge of
his duties or disobedient of the depart
ment's orders.
Day called at the station yesterday, but
upon learning that he was suspended
sadly left the station and did not return
during the day. As some of the officers
remarked yesterday the station seemed
exceedingly quiet while Day was away
and not many brother sleuths of Day
were seen to shed tears over his sudden
dismissal,

HOWtHE BATTLE WAS LOST
PROHIBITION' DID IT, AGAIN
SAYS MRS. DUXIWAY.
Crowded on Woman Suffrage Ship,
and Down It Went, She
Declares.
PORTLAND, Aug. 20.-(To the Editor.)
In striking contrast to the poorly
"hidden" screed with which an alleged
"White Ribboner" is wont to assail the
vital truths contained In my well-known
and unanswerable reasons for declaring
that prohibition always scuttles our equal
suffrage ships and never hurts whisky, I
am glad to note the temperate words or
my friend, Eva Emery Dye. who, though
far too "young" in the equal sufTrage
movement to understand what ostracism
means to a veteran in the cause, whose
efforts in the Pacific Northwest have
alone made the campaigns possible which
the W. C. T. U. has arisen for the fourth
time and slain. It was before her day in
Ores-on. or Mrs. Hidden s, or Mrs. un-
ruh's, that I was compelled to take the
stand which alone made the resurrection
of the movement possible after prohibi
tion had scuttled it and at last made It
so popular among the voters that the
Laura Greggs, Laura ciays ana oaii
Laughlins et al. swapped it off last June
for the gold brick of prohibition. So con
fident were they that they would "kill the
b'ar," and so certain was I that their
gold brick was spurious, that, after kind'
Iv warning them. I yielded to the de
mands of the ."younger women," whose
eyes, like Mrs. Dye's, are not yet open
to existing facts, and stepped aside to let
the storm pass by, well knowing that I
must again break the Austrian phalanx
of the W. C T. U. and run the gauntlet
of its impertinence and obtrusion If we
are ever to be successful In securing a
majority vote In favor of our enfranchise
ment. The Olympia Standard, whose editor
took an active part in territorial aays to
secure the ballot for women, which East
ern and local women agitators smashed
to smithereens when Washington was on
the eve of statehood, and by prohlDltlon
tactics have succeeded In keeping It
smashed ever since, says. In a recent
Issue, that our (alleged) defeat In Oregon
last June, "was largely owing to tha fact
that the White Ribboners and Prohibi
tionists climbed into the suffrage band
wagon early in the campaign and crowd
ed out well-meaning peoole who dislike
to run up against marked individualities
they regard as fanatical.
Why it te that a wife and mother,
otherwise level-headed, can be found
now and then who is willing to com
mend the ruinous reactionary work of
Imported old maids and childless
wives, whose lack of knowledge about
managing men would make a very
large book, can hardly be accounted
for except through their lack of ex
perience in political affairs. I thank
fully confess that I am nearing the
close of my 72d year. I have no per
sonal ambitions to .foster, no wish for
added fame, no greater honors to crave
than the good people of Oregon, Wash
ington and Idaho have bestowed upon
me without the asking. To the at
tacks and praises of the "younger
women," who want the honor of kill
ing the b'ar, I am alike indifferent,
well knowing that history will give
lasting honor only where such honor
is due. But I do desire, above every
thing else in this life, to see equal and
exact liberty and Justice established
between the mothers of men and the
sons of women. I have no more de
sire to make war on Prohibitionists
as such than I should have to oppose
the Catholics or Protestants, or So
cialists, or the Labor party, or any
other minority organization, unless it
should focus their efforts upon us
during our equal suffrage constitu
tional amendment campaigns, to use
us as a "short end" to their peculiar
religion or politics, when I knew that
by so doing they would wreck us and
do themselves no good. The strangest
thing about it all is that Prohibition
ists so often fail to see this Belf-evi-dent
fact, and get tearing mad when
it Is pointed out to them. - Mrs.
Inruh, who went to Maine last year
in a vain attempt to arouse a little
temperance sentiment in a state that
has tried the futility of Prohibition In
Its constitution for 60 years, now
boasts that she is not to be deterred
from helping (?) the suffrage cause In
Oregon in the interest of her hobby.
Why, bless her heart! nobody cares
how hard she works for suffrage In
her own field, or on her own platform.
We know her too well to believe we
could stop her if we would, and we
certainly wouldn't stop her if we
could. . It is only when Prohibitionists
crowd themselves upon our equal suf
frage ship and raise a storm that
wrecks it that we protest. The more
level-headed members of the W. C. T.
U. see these facts as plainly as I see
them, and feel aggrieved at having
been imposed upon by Imported suf
frage agitators, who trained with the
wrong crowd, though they ought to
have known better. This controversy
is wearying, but it will have its uses.
Voters are learning that a -majority of
women are not going to be driven to
the ballot box merely pell-mell because
a few of them are Intoxicated with
one idea. The Prohibition craze will
die out after a while, but the suffrage
movement, being founded on the eter
nal principles of liberty and Justice to
all the people, will go on and on to
victory.
It was a source of deep gratifica
tion to me. when T laid down the
gavel, to name Mrs. Henry Waldo Coe
as my successor, and I thank Mrs.
Dye for speaking her praises, to which
I wish to add my own word of eulogy
also for her noble husband, who
stands as faithfully beside her In her
wont as did my own good husband
mine, until he was called to the skies

Initiative One Hundred Objects
to East Third-Street Grant.
WANTS CITY COMPENSATED
If Railroad Company Opposes Pay
ing Cash, Plan Will Be Proposed
of Reducing the Charges
of Switching.
A new plan Is now under consideration
by the committee of the Initiative One
Hundred, which has been representing
that organization In the matter of the
proposed East Third-street franchise of
the O. R, & N. From the first this com
mlttee and the entire body has objected
to the granting of this franchise, contain-
lnor the present stipulation that a fill
should be made as a return to the city,
holding that this fill would benefit simply
the abutting property-owners. It was
first suggested by the Initiative One Hun
dred that, instead of making the fill, the
O. R. & N. should pay J2000 annually to
the city. Now it proposes that if the rail
road company objects to a cash consider
ation, the latter shall make certain re
ductions in Its switching charges through
out the city.
President McKenna, in discussing the
matter last night, said that the Initiative
One Hundred Is ready to support the
franchise ordinance if, in lieu of the cash.
consideration which has been suggested,
the railroad company wiM Incorporate
therein an agreement to reduce its
switching charges throughout the city In
the manner which the committee of the
Initiative One Hundred has discussed and
will suggest to the O. R. & N. In the
first place it proposes that the free
switching limits be extended. The ordi
nance, as now drawn up, provides for
free switching as far south as Inman &
Poulsen's lumber mills, and as far north
as the plant of the Portland Flouring
Mills. It is now suggested that this dis
trict be extended to cover the tracks as
far north and south as the city bounda
ries. '
In addition to this, the Initiative One
Hundred proposes to ask that the O. R.
& N. and Southern Pacific give a switch
lng charge of 15 to all parts of the city,
the rate to include the return of the
empty cars. The charge now in force is
In most cases $10. The new rate, It Is
proposed, shall cover not only the Har-
rlman lines, but also those of all other
companies. As the Harriman lines dom
Inate the situation within the city, it is
held by the Initiative One Hundred that
such an agreement from them would
serve to compel all other lines to accept
the same rates.
This proposition has not yet been sub
mitted to the officials of the railroad
company, but It has been favorably con
sidered by the committee having It In
charge. Judge Seneca Smith, chairman
of the committee, is now out of town, but
as soon as he returns he Is expected to
confer with the railroad officials. If they
will agree to the proposed changes, the
Council will be asked to Incorporate them
In amendments to the ordinance.
Two other amendments to the ordinance
which the Initiative One Hundred has
suggested, it proposes to fight for when
the ordinance is brought up before the
Council. One is a common-user provision
and the other a clause providing for the
purchase of the line by the city at any
time. The ordinance was expected to
come up at the last meeting of the Coun
cil, but did not. as it was found that
proof of publication had not been filed,
This filing has not yet been made, and
the ordinance will not come up at the

AWFUL PSORIASIS
35JEARS
Terrible Scaly Humor in Patches
All Over the Body Skin Cracked
and Bleeding Itching Unbear
able Cured by Cuticura in Thirty
Days at Cost of $4.75.
ANOTHER WONDERFUL
CURE BY CUTICURA
"I was afflicted with psoriasis for
thirty-five years. It was in patches all
over my body. I used three cakes
of isoap, six boxes
Cuticura Oint
ment, and two
bottles of Cuti
cura Resolvent I
bathed with the
Soap, applied the
Ointment once
day, and took the
Resolvent as di
rected. In thirtv
days I was completely cured, and I
think permanently, as it was about five
years ago.
"The psoriasis first made Its appear
ance in red spots, generally forming a
circle, leaving in the center a spot about
the sise of a silver dollar of sound flesh.
In a 6hort time the affected circle
would form a heavy dry scale of a white
silvery appearance and would gradually
drop off. To remove the entire scales
by bathing or using oil to soften them
the flesh would be perfectly raw, and a
light discharge of bloody substance
would ooze out. That scaly crust would
form again in twenty-four hours. It
was worse on my arms and limbs, al
though it was in spot all over my
body, also on my scalp. If I let the
scales remain too long without remov
ing by bath or otherwise, the skin
would crack and bleed. I suffered
intense itching, worse at nights after
fetting warm in bed, or blood warm
y exercise, when it would be almost
unbearable.
"To sum It all up, I would not go
through such another ordeal of affliction
for thirty-five years for ths State of
Kansas, (signed) W. M. Chidester,
Hutchinson, Kan., April 20, 1905."
