FORT STEVENS, Or., July 7. (Staff
Correspondence.) Tomorrow the
troops of the Oregon Guard now sta
tioned at this garrison and at Fort Co
lumbia, across the river, will be given
their first lesson In the martial art of
coast defense. The Oregon troops were
mustered and distributed for service
today, and are now ready to master
the details of heavy artillery warfare,
such as would render the Guard of pe
culiar worth In the event an enemy,
should ever attempt to force the harbor
at the mouth of the Columbia,
The Guardsmen will be taught artil
lery warfare as thoroughly as the ten
days in garrison allows. The Instruc
tion tomorrow will consist In explana
tions of the use of guns, caissons,
mortars, range-finding instruments,
plottlng-boards and submarine mines.
Artillery and Infantry drills will bo
held morning: and afternoon.
The Guardsmen will be Initiated
thoroughly Into the use of the big coast
guns and carriages, as well as projec
tiles, fuses and explosives. The Im
portant subjects of power, light and
communications and their use In coast
defenses will be fully explained, as will
the utility of posltlon-flnders and sub
marine mines, the defense of land ap
proaches and the duties of artillery
supports.
A detail of 21 men from the Third
Infantry was made today for service
with the ensrlnear department and the
mine command. Six privates and a non- I

HONEST STOCK GAMBLER
tOSES MILLION'S, BUT PATS
BACK ALL MOXKY.
At End of 14 Years Edward "W.
Bailey, Although Poor, Faces
World With Clean Hands.
CHICAGO, July 7. Speclal.). Ed
ward "W. Bailey, who 14 years ago in
the famous pork corner lost Ji,000r
000. together with the men asso
ciated with him, last night mailed out
checks for 60,000. thus wiping out
the last cent of Indebtedness. He has
not much money left, but faces the
world with clean hands.
For 14 years the payment of his
obligations has been an obsession. Un
der the rules of the game, he could
have gone in bankruptcy, or "gone
broke." and either method would have
cancelled the obligations in the eyes
of the law. But Mr. Bailey took a dif
ferent view of things. He owed cer
tain men certain amounts of money,
and the repayment of these sums was
his constant care, night and day. His
name went for something and it stands
for much today.
The crash is pork which carried down
many fortunes, caine August 1, 1893.
Cudahy failed for $6,000,000, ftnd many
of the lesser fry went under, never to
emerge again. On the last day of July
pork closed at $19 the barrel. The
next day it opened at $18.75 and top
pled to $10.50 and lard finally landed
$5.90, after starting the day at $9.75.
YACHTS TO BE RAFFLED
Contesting Boats to Be Sold at Once
to Pay Construction Cost.
SEATTLE, Wash., July 7. (Special.)
Both the cup challenger Seattle
Spirit and the defender, Alexandra, are
to' be raffled at once. The Spirit waa
built by Ted Geary from subscriptions
made in the form of a purchase of
tickets for the raffle, and It Is related
that Geary has not yet collected all of
the $2600 that he put into the boat It
self. The British Columbians sub
scribed $3200 In the same manner to
pay Fife, the famous English designer,
for the Alexandra, and as soon as the
fleet of yachts gets back to Victoria
the boat will be raffled. Immediately
on both sides of the line steps will be
taken to get funds to build the yachts
for next year's cup races. Everett
yachtsmen have notified the Seattle
Tacht Club they will challenge the
right of this city to defend the cup
won yesterday and a series of trial
races between the two cities will be
held next year.

San Francisco Labor Troubles
Soon to Be Settled.
WAGES TO BE ADVANCED
Basis Is Reached on Which It f7Il
Be Possible to Proceed With
Building Operations In
the Bay City.
SAN FRANCISCO. July 7. After
two months of almost continuous nego
tiation fcetween the committees of
building exchanges and the Heal Es
tate Board, the prospect of an arrange
ment of the question of wages In tho
building trades has been brought meas
urably nearer. , A meeting between
these committees and representatives
of the building trades resulted in an
agreement to meet again in a week
and take ' up in earnest the effort to
reajh a basis on which the rebuilding
of the city could be continued without
Interruption by labor disputes or the
handicap of almost prohibitory wages
for the next 30 years.
A schedule of the wages paid in all
the trades connected with building has
been prepared and used as a basis for
making out a new schedule, which is
practically the proposition of the build
ers to the laborers of San Francisco.
The schedule Is higher than the aver
ago of other cities, even higher than
the highest wage paid in each trade
in most places. This is a concession
to the acknowledged higher cost of
living here. It is considerably lower,
however, than the wages paid in moat
branches of the building trades -in San
Francisco.
The new schedule nag already been
submitted to labor representatives and
a preliminary examination- on their
part has developed no opposition to its
general features.

Rosenberg Writes About Salmon
Says Fish in Puget Sound Have Been Saved by Closed I
Sunday and Prohibiting Stationary Gear Above Tidewater
ASTORIA. Or., July 6 (To the Editor.)
In your Issue of July 4 appears a. letter,
"McGowan Retorts to Rosenberg." Were it
not for your editorial. "Again the Salmon
Plight," appearing in the same Issue, the
following article would not have been
written.
Senator McGowan calls me various hard
names, saying very little 4else. I am fully
aware that all who advocate tbe reform, of
certain abuses are usually denounced by the
beneficiaries of these abuses. But I have
learned that the American public takes very
little stock In the statements of that side
of a con troversy w h ich depend s on vi 11
fication of its opponents for support. Hence
no 'answer from me to "McGowan's Retort"
is needed.
Entirely different, however, are the state
ments made in your editorial. These state
ments are backed up by the able and force
ful reasoning characteristic of The Ore
Ionian editorials, and if true would mean
the condemnation- of the work, of the United
Fishermen of the Pacific, of which organ
ization I am the executive officer and the
policy of which I am carrying out.
' You say In your editorial: "While rail
road blasting on the north bank and heavy
rainfall in Portland on Tuesday night (al
most a waterspout' ) may be piloting many
salmon past their eneml es, Ed Rosenberg,
Henry McGowan, Sam Elmore, Prank Seu
fert and Celilo Taffe, up to Warden Van
Iu sen's empty hatcheries, that Is past be
lieving for a person who continues to have
respect for the cleverness of the salmon
hunters. Nor will those gentlemen believe
that such a miracle has been wrought to
save the salmon from their clutches.'
The United Fishermen of the Pacific is
thus classed, among the enemies of the
salmon. This certainly is an error on the
part of the writer, though unintentional I
fully believe.
In the constitution of the United Fisher
men of the Pacific, giving Its objects, the
following appears: To work for the enact
ment of laws which will give protection
to its members and Insure the continuance
of the fishery industry, now seriously threat
ened everywhere on the Pacific throuch
overfishing, through lack of effective and
properly regulated and enforced closed sea
sons, and for want of .sufficient hatcheries.'
Example of Paget Sound.
These are plain and direct words bearing
on salmon protection. And they are words
that have been backed up by deeds, as can
be readily proven. Let us take Puget Sound
district for Illustration, where during the
last three years we have fought and won
the fight for salmon protection.
Three years ago, hatcheries on Puget
Sound streams were running as empty as
do now our hatcheries on the Columbia.
The Puget Sound canners and trappers'
combine somehow saw in this a good oppor
tunity to drive out of business the Inde
pendent canners and trappers and most of
the drlftnet fishermen. Jointly with the
Ftaser River canners' combine, they agreed
to work for a law stopping salmon fishing
on Puget Sound for two alternate years and
establishing a 36-hour weekly closed season
during other years. But in the bill; the
3&-hour weekly closing provision was a
sham as far as traps were concerned.
There were no specifications as to the
closing of traps during the closed season.
The law thus would have applied, only to
drlftnet fishermen.
As the two years' closing would have
meant the ruin of the small Independent
canners and trappers, and of many fisher
men, these united to fight this trust law.
Noting that this was an opportunity to
get some really beneficent salmon protect
ing laws, on the statutes, I insisted, on be
half of the drlftnet fishermen at a confer
ence with the Independent cannery and
trapmen, that we Introduce a bill for a 36
hour weekly closed season, so drawn that
trapowners, too, could be punished if they
used their gear during the closed season. I
also contended that if this were done and
fishing In the rivers stopped at tidewater,
we would have a plentiful supply of salmon
at our hatcheries, to insure the growth and
continuance of -the salmon Industry of Pu
get Sound. This plan was adopted and bills
Introduced in the Washington Legislature of
lf05 covering these points.
Drlftnet Men Work Alone.
The trust measure for two years' closing
was defeated after a six weeks bitter con
test at Olympia- That was on a Saturday,
a week before the closing of the session.
The independent canners and trapmen then
broke faith with the drlftnet fishermen.
They hurried from Olympia, leaving me
alone to get the weekly closing enacted and
fishing stopped at tidewater. Attorney
McCord of Seattle, legal representative of
the trust, stated to me that he was in
structed to oppose the weekly closing. It
was thus up to the union fishermen to get
the protection for our salmon.
On the following Monday, State Senator
Moore, now Mayor of Seattle, was asked by
me to take charge of the 36-bour weekly
closing measure In the Senate. He an
swered, "It's no use, Rosenberg, all your
friends, m eanln g the independent canners
and trappers, "have left ytm and the oppo
sition ta still very strongly represented. I
uxgeA feim. to h.el na axsnzing that, a for
in which the writer said that she, with
60 other Mexican women, were prison
ers in Belem for political - reasons, is
pronounced a canard by the authori
ties. No such woman exists. General
Sandoval, a Mexican exile, died in
Guatemala on May 9, last. His broth
er, who lives here, claims he was unmarried.
SCHMITZ ASKS FOR HIS PAY

SAN FRANCISCO, July 7. Mayor
Schmltz yesterday Sent a formal demand
upon Auditor Norton for his full salary
for the month of June, and for the $300
contingent fund allowed the Mayor's of

warning against paying these or any
other sums upon the order of James L.
Gallagher, the. Acting Mayor. The
Auditor was notified that he, with his
bondsmen," would be held personally re

Brick Buildings Collapse.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., July 7. Two
brick buildings, three stories high, located
near the northwestern corner of Meridian
and Maryland streets in the center of the
wholesale district, collapsed from some
unknown cause early this morning,
causing a loss of $230,000.
six weeks the members of the Legislature
had been continually talked to on salmon
preservation, the right moment to get a
good bill through had arrived. Moore then
consented. Representative Frank Twlchell
agreed to guard it in the House. The bUl
passed and was almost ready for the Gov
ernor's signature, one day before final ad
journment, when somehow, overnight, the
two principal clauses of the bill disappeared.
Senator Moore then threatened If they were
not restored, that somebody would see the
Inside of prison bars. That restored these
clauses and the Governor signed the bill.
' Senator Moore and Representative Twlchell
If called upon, will verify these statements.
Trapmen Break lav.
But unfair privilege and short-sighted
greed die hard. As soon as fishing com
menced that year. Fish Commissioner Ker
shaw, a willing servant of the canners ajyj.
trappers' combine, allowed the traps to fish
during the closed season, in direct violation
of law. A few trapowners went through a
sham trial and were fined $50. The law
provided a fine from $50 to $1000, or Im
prisonment from 30 days tm one year, or
both fine and imprisonment.
I then had several interviews with Gov
ernor Mead and the Attorney-General, urg
ing more effective prosecution. Assistant
Attorney-General Booth took charge of the
prosecution of a trapman, on evidence fur
nished by the union fishermen. The case
was tried before Superior Judge Prater, of
King County, the attorney for the combine
defending Graham, the defendant. Proof of
Illegal fishing was absolute. The defense,
as a last resort, produced a letter from Fish
Commissioner Kershaw, wherein the trap
owner waa shielded. Judge Frater, In his
decision, stated : "The law has been vio
lated, the ruling of the Commissioner is
wrong, but In view of such ruling I do not
wish this time to punish the defendant."
This was really a victory for the salmon,
for when shortly after Kershaw's term of
office expired, and 97 per cent of the can
ners and trappers of Puget Sound petitioned
Governor Mead to reappoint Kershaw, the
proof of his wrongdoing helped the fisher
men, aided by the press and resolutions of
central labor bodies, in preventing Ker
shaw's reappointment.
Mr. Rlseland was appointed Commissioner,
enforced the closing law against the traps
as well as against the glllnets and purse
seines. The result was xmmedlate. Last
Fall, for the first time In several years, the
Puget Sound hatcheries had a plentiful sup
ply of salmon. Puget Sound salmon fish
eries are thus Insured of growth.
Trapmen Again Foiled.
An attempt waa made by the trappers,
who chafed under the enforcement of the
law, to have the Legislature of 190T elimi
nate, in the weekly closing law, specific
reference of how traps should be closed.
To cover this trick, which If successful
would have prevented effective prosecution
of traps Illegally fishing, the minimum fine
was raised In the presented bill to $250.'
But we exposed the trick. A specific regu
lation went Into the bill, also a clause that
the Informer be paid one half of the fine.
It is safe to say that neither trappers, gill
netters nor purse seiners will violate the
closing law without easy detection, for the
Legislature also provided for more effec
tive patrol service.
And what we have done for Puget Sound
we hope to be able to do for the Columbia.
From the many assurances from many parts
Cjf the State of Oregon of support to our
measures, we are hopeful of soon being able
to check the downward tendency of our
salmon.
We are confident that the sober Judgment
of the voters of Oregon- will deoide next
June that fishing shall stop In the nar
rows of the Upper Corumbra. and the sober
Judgment of the people of British Columbia,
Washington, Oregon and California has al
ready stopped fish lng for salmon wh ere
similar conditions existed.
The fishermen of Puget Sound have given
irp 36 hours every week to the hatcheries,
but there fishing stops at tidewater and no
stationary gear of any kind Is allowed In
our streams or the Frailer.
Many of the men who have flAftwheels on
the Upper Columbia have also fishing ap
pliances on the Lower Columbia- There Is
no attempt to debar any of these men from
the lower river. Nearly all, If not all of
the fishwheel owners, have become wealthy
by being allowed to use wheels. Let them
take some of their wealth to the lower
river, start canneries there some of them
have already done so and employ traps,
seines or glllnets to catch their fishw The
gillnet men do not ask for a monopoly of
f Is hing o n the Co lumbla River, they are
simply working for the abolition of "fish
wheels because they know that the, wheels
must go If the salmon is to be saved.
Nearly every State, besides having closed
seasons for game, has prohibited certain
very destructive methods of shooting It.
We want the same principle applied, to the
salmon.
I regret the length of this acrticM, but
wished to be so specific that proof of my
statements could be readily obtained. I be
lieve that an ounce of fact is better than
a pound at theory.
