State Commission Proposes to
Condemn Eight. Acres. "
IDEAL SITE AT BONNEVILLE
Cannery Blocks Kffort to Seenro
Vl.ease From Itailroad Company,
and Matter Is Taken Up
AYith Attorney-General.
ASTORIA. Or., 6pt. 0.-Speeial.)-For
several years Fis Warden Van Dusen
has had in view the establishment of a
large central salmon hatchery on some
suitable tributary to the Columbia River,
where eggs could be sent from the various
other state plants to be hatched and a
Fystem of rearing ponds maintained where
the young fry can be retained and fed for
so long a period as experience shows to
be advisable.
The plan includes the election of a
large hatchery and the building to start
with of about 20 ponds, each 15 by a)
feet and four feet deep, sufticlent In size
to maintain about SOO.Oix) small fry each,
or a total of lo.0oo.000. Kadi of the ponda
Is to have its Individual source of water
Bupply so that should disease affect the
fish ip one it will not be communicated to
the olheits.
It was the intentltm of the fish warden
to have the proposed new plant ready for
operation next season and as the most
suitable site he selected a tract of about
eight acres on Tanner Creek near Bonne
ville, where there is an abundance of
pure water available.
The property belongs to the Oregon
Railroad & Navigation Company and Mr.
Van Dusen secured a ten-year lease from
the company at a nominal rate. After the
lease had been signed, some of the persons
operating fishwheels on the Upper Colum
bia made a protest that the establish
ment of a hatchery at that point would
Interfere with the fishing rights which
they have leased from the railway com
pany and as a result the lease to the
fisheries department was cancelled. This
of course put an effectual stop to the
construction or the proposed plant during
the present Summer, hut the Fish Warden
In order to ascertain If the contention of
the wheelmen was correct, submitted the
matter to Attorney-General Crawford.
Packing Company Blocks Lease.
Mr. Van Dusen -explained his effort
'.o secure a lease and then said:
Immediately thereafter, I received a let
ter from J. W. Morrow, tax and rlglit-of-way
agent of said company, dated April
-9. 19u7, stating that matters had .taken
men a turn in connection with the hatch
ery project that he deemed It advisable to
talk with me further In regard to the mat
ter before anything more could be done and
requested me to call at hie office. Upon
calling, as requested, I was told by Mr.
Morrow that they had bei-n Informed by
K. M. Warren, of the Warren Packing
Company, "that a salmon hatchery, kuw.
as wc contemplated. If established on Tan
ner Creek at Bonneville, would Interfere
with the fishing rights and privileges that
the Oregon Railroad & Navigation Com
pany had been leaning to them below the
mouth of Tanner Creek, Inasmuch as the
laws pertaining to the fishing Industry of
this state permitted of no fishing within
two miles below any rack or trap put In
across a stream for salmon fish hatchery
purposes." That for a number of years,
Mr. Warren had been leasing those rights
and privileges for fish-wheel purposes and
that the company did not now feel justi
fied In doing anything that would Inter
fere in any way with those privileges.
1 explained to him that the law gov
erning this matter was not for the pur
pose of interfering with or restricting fish
ing in the immediate vicinity of a hatch
ery establishment, but was enacted for the
purpose of protecting the salmon held In
a set of racks, traps or other obstructions
put across any of the streams of this
state for the purpose of obtaining salmon
for propagating purposes, and to protect
thera from poachers within a distance of
two miles below thereof. That Tanner
Creek was a very small streum and did
not seem to be sought after by the salmon
for spawning purposes, excepting late In
the season, when a very few of the Fall
rhinooks spawned therein and these salmon
came along at a time late In the season,
when the wheel fishing was all over. That
I never had attempted to take any spawn
In the stream, but the Qoverngent people
had and had generally succeeded In col
lecting 100 females and a like number- of
males every Fall, from which they would
Itet 400,000 or noo.uoo spawn. That It was
not our Intention to do anything different
In the way of collecting spawn there on
the stream with a hatchery In close prox
imity from that we were already privileged
to do without a hatchery. That, as I
understood the law governing the matter,
wo were prlvllegod to go onto any stream
In the state and put In racks or traps, at
any time, for the purpose of collecting
salmon for spawning purposes; and that
thereafter, as long as the racks and traps
remained In place. It was unlawful for any
person to take, kill, destroy, or molest any
salmon within two miles below any such
racks or traps, whether there was a hatch
ery established on the stream or not. That
the matter of having a salmon hatchery
and rearing ponds In close proximity there
of cut no figure whatever and was tot
considered by the trainers of the statute.
Ife seemed to think differently, so wa
concluded to submit the matter to you and
ask for your optnlon on the subject, the
points In question being:
First Would our having a hatchery
established and rearing ponds on the bank
of this stream (Tanner Creek) Interfere
with the rights of the Warrens, who ope
rate one fish wheel on the hank of the Co
lumbia River at the mouth of said Tan
ner Creek, on the upper side of its con
fluence with the ColumMa River; two fish
wheels on the bank of the Columbia River
(Oregon side of the river) below the mouth
of said Tanner Creek: and one fish wheel
on the Washington side of the Columbia
River, all of which are within the two
mile limit of where said hatchery and
rearing p-inds connected therewith would
be established? ,
Second. Don't we have the same rights
now, without a .hatchery, to go onto that
stream and put fh. racks and traps for the
purpose of catching salmon for spawning
purposes as what we would have with a
hatchery and rearing ponds established In
close proximity thereto?
Section 40S3 of Bellinger and Cotton's
codes and statutes seem to be the only
statute amongst the laws pertaining to th
fishing Industry that has any bearing on
this subject.
Fishing Itlghts Not Disturbed.
In reply Mr. Van Dusen received an
opinion from the Attorney-General stat
ing that the establishment of the hatch
ery would not alter the fishing rights In
the district, as the state has the author
ity to use the stream for propagation
purposes at any time. This opinion says:
Section 40.13 of Bellinger and Cotton's
code authorises the Fish Commissioner and
the Fish Commission of the United SfStes,
or any Individual operating hatcheries In
this state to erect racks, traps, or other
obstructions across any of the streams tn
this state for tk purpose of obtaining
salmon for propagating purposes, and makes
It unlawful for any person or persons to
take. kill, destroy, or molest any salmon,
within two miles below any such rack,
trap, or obstruction across any stream In
this state.
It would seem from the reading of this
section that you have the right to construct
racks, traps, or obstructions tn Tanner
Creek, notwithstanding the fact that there
ore fish wheels now located at the mouth
of said creek and within two miles there
of below, whether you maintain a hatciiery
and feeding station, or either or Kofli.
there or not; and that such right in no
way depends upon the construction or
' maintenance of Buch hatchery or feeding
station.
In answer to your second question, I
would say that, tn my opinion, the erec
tion of a hatchery and feeding station
would not confer any great or less rights
, upon the State or federal Fish Commis
sioners cr In any way prejudice or detract
from the rights of private parties already
operating fish wheels, traps, or other fish
ing appliance within the two-mile limit. I
would, therefore, answer your second ques
tion in the affirmative, that you have the
same rights now without a hatchery or
feeding station or both on Tanner Creek as
you would have with a hatchery.
A copy of this opinion was immediately
submitted to the railway company with
a request that the lease of the proposed
site to the state be approved. Under date
of July 20 a reply was received from J.
W. Morrow, tax and right-of-way agent
for the O. R. & N. Co., stating that lie
did not ethlnk It advisable to make the
lease tn question.
State Will Condemn Land.
This left the purchase of the property
by condemnation proceedings as the only
way In which to secure the desired site
and the matter was at once taken up by
the Fish Warden with Attorney-General
Crawford, who ..says the state has the
right" to condemn lands for hatchery pur
poses and that he is ready to proceed
with the suit as soon as he receives cer
tain Information relative to the title to
the property and the incumbrances on it,
which Mr. Van Dusen Is now securing
and will forward at the earliest possible
moment.
While the controversy over the site for
the proposed hatchery and rearing ponds
w(ll delay the construction of the plant,
the Intention of the department is to
crowd its construction as soon as the
property is secured in order to have it
ready for operation at the earliest possi
ble moment.

MEN'S
All Are Curable
There's no drawing the line between curable
and incurable diseases. Each individnal case
must be considered. Most doctors claim that
among that class of diseases peculiar to
men one or two are incurable. This idea is
wrong. I have demonstrated that it is
wrong, for I cure all diseases of men. The
truth Is, that some cases of curable diseases
are incurable, and some cases of so-called
Incurable diseases are easily curable by the
right methods. I by no means claim the
ability to cure any and every case that may
come to my office, but I claim to cure most
of the cases that others cannot cure, and I
always refuse treatment where conditions In
dicate that I will be unable to obtain
thorough and lasting results.

My Treatment for Weakness
It Is a symptom of prostatic dis
order. To sLimnlate activity by
the use of powerful tonics is an
easy matter, but such results are
merely temporary drug effects.
Most doctors treat "weakness" in
this manner because they do r0t
know how to cure the real cause
of the derangement. T am the
.only physician employing scien
tific and successful methods. I use
no tonics at all. My treatment is
ft local one entirely, and corrects
every abnormal condition of tluit
vital center, the prostate gland.
My cures are real cures and are
permanent.
