THE MOUSING OREGOXIAX, SATURDAY, JAXtTART 25, 1908. 11 FISHWHEEL MEN ARE CO TJFIDENT Expect Their Initiative Bill to Be Adopted Over That of Gillnetters. MANY SIGN THE PETITIONS Kastcrn Oregon Gives 7000 Signa tures and Total Will Exceed 1 5, 000 Xone Are Asked For In Clatsop County. Salmon men of the Upper Columbia River appear elated by their success in irculatlng the initiative petition for enactment of their bill to regulate fish eries and think that the lower river interests will be unable to prevail aealnnt them with the Astoria bill, which would abolish the upper-river fish wheels, without putting any limi tations on other classes of fishing gear. V. A. Seufert, of The Dalles, who Is boosting: for the upper river bill, said yesterday that Eastern Oregon has given 7000 signatures to the petition for the measure and that the total number of signers will be more than 15.000. Only 7403 will be needed. "There is no need working for more signers." said Mr. Seufert last night. We shall have more than twice as many as we need. The bill has found wide favor in Eastern Oregon, and, in fact, all over the state. It is a fair bill, embodying recommendations of the United States Bureau of Fisheries and of the Joint com mittee of the Oregon and Washington legislatures, which last Winter urged en actment of the closed Sunday and of longer closed season in April and Au gust. "Our bill also mbodies the recommen dation of Senator Fulton and Fish War den Van Dusen, by prohibiting Ashing on the bar, a practice which causes loss of many fishermen in watery graves and im pedes ingress of salmon to the river. The bill further embodies the known demand of pilots, ship masters and United States Engineers, that the navigation channels of the river be kept free of nets, so that propellers of vessels shall not be fouled. Our measure is fair in every respect, and Imposes no restrictions on any one class of gear for the benefit of others, but regulates all. ' "I don't think we have canvassed Clatsop County for signers, though I know we could get many there. That is the home of the gillnetters, who are trying to abolish upper river fisheries, and our Invasion of that territory would cause antagonisms, which we deem unnecessary to Incur. We can get far more signers than we need outside Clatsop County. I understand thp Astoria men have been as consid erate as we, by staying out of Wasco County with their petitions. "Our bill Is sure to pass, because it Impresses the average voter as being a fair measure. It has no design to hog all the salmon for one class of gear." Last Tuesday an important meeting was held by the United States En gineers, in the Customs House, to hear evidence on the alleged obstrurion to navigation in the lower river, caused by gillnets and traps. Colonel Leach, sent here by the War Department to make the investigation, presided. Among those present were Ed Rosen berg, secretary of the United Fisher men of the Pacific; H. M. Lorntsen, secretary of the Fishermen's Union of Astoria; H. S. McGowan and John Mc Oowan, of Chinook, representing traps; President Joe Burke, of the Seiners' Union: and River Pilots Snow, Pease and Pope. Colonel Leach announced that the War Department is not concerned by rivalry between classes of fishing gear, but is resolved to keep fhe channel clear. In order to ascertain whether the complaints of obstruction were well founded he will receive affidavits from the parties con cerned. The McGowans offered to secure affidavits to the effect that gillnets have prevented the free course of their launches and of the launches of others, among them those of F. M. Warren, be tween Astoria and Cathlamet; also the llovernment tugs Arago and Guy Howard; that net have freauontly fouled other vessels and are a dangerous menace to navigation. They promised to secure affi davit's citing instances of fishermen firing guns at boats which ran over their nets. Pilots Pease, Snow and Pope said that the nets did not bother them because of the large size, of their boats. Rosenberg and Lorntsen, speaking for the gillnetters, scored the reports of the glllnet menace as exaggerated and pointed to the traps as a moro serious source of danger to life, on account of the very swift current that leads against them. They said that ti was lmpossiblefor fishermen to drift their nets without Invading the navi gation channels to some extent, but that they were careful to keep out of the path of boats. They cited further that it was to the advantage of navi gatlon Interests to encourage the glll net nsnerman. since from them are r crulted large numbers of men for mer chant and war vessels. FORFEITS GRAIN CHARTER Tramp Steamer River Forth Falls to Reach Tacoma for Cargo. TACOMA, Wash.. Jan. 24. (Special.) i nlcss the big tramp steamer River Forth reaches Tacoma tomorrow, and that is an Impossibility, as she is still in San Francisco harbor, she will lose a valuable wheat charter. Since the vessel was fixed by Balfour, Guthrie u. Co., freight rates to the United Kingdom have dropped 5 shillings a ton, which means that her failure to arrive has cost the owners approximately J6000. The rate that the River Forth was to receive was 33s M. Owing to the condition of the export wheat market. Balfour, Guthrie Co. said today that the company would not recharter the River Forth or fix another tramp in her place at present. Nor will the company charter a vessel to carry the cargo of grain, awaiting-the sailing slilp Hartfleld. which Is reported to have been lost on the Vancouver coast. The company has sufficient tonnage on hand to meet Its Immediate demands. Vernon Hawes, who was Jointly indict ed along with William Dickenson, J. it. Dickenson, John Dickenson, Earl Ransier, Walter St. Clair and John Riley, on the same 'charge, will also be continued. It is possible that the only Jury trials that will be held at the special term will be .those of the state vs. Leroy Car den, charged with assault, and whose trial is. set for January 31, and the suit of the Mount Hood Railway A Power Co. vs. the City of Portland, for con demnation of property, set for January 29. It is reported on what seems to be ex cellent authority that the four Canby saloonkeepers charged with selling liquor to minors will plead guilty, as the state has a strong case against them. The trial of these cases is set for February 3 and 4. Decrees of divorce "were handed down today In the following cases: Ellsha Ad amson vs. Susan E. Adamson. Cornelia Llllle vs. William Lillie. Martha John ston vs. Edward Johnston, Ellen GIpson vs. Charles I. GIpson. The suits of Lydia Shaw vs. Frank W. Shaw, Edna Hughes vs. Charles H. Hughes and R. C. Herring vs. Dora Belle Herring were dismissed for the reason that the parties in these cases have resumed their mari tal relations.

TROUBLE FROM QUARANTINE Two Vessels In Difficulty at Astoria. Other Marine News. ASTORIA. Or., Jan. 24. (Special.) Cap tain Bridgett, of the oil tank steamer Asuncion, appeared before the local cus toms authorities last evening to answer charges preferred by Dr. Holt, the local quarantine officer. While nothing will be given out by the authorities here, it Is understood that Captain Brldgett's state ment was taken and will be forwarded to the Department In Washington. About a month ago the Asuncion disregarded the Federal quarantine regulations on en tering this port, and, it is alleged, was disrespectful to the officer in charge. This matter was reported by Dr. Holt to the Department, which In turn requested the Customs Department to secure Captain Brldgett's explanation of the affair. Trouble awaits-the steam schooner Cas cade on her arrival there from San Fran cisco, from where she sailed yesterday, but how serious the trouble will be is not known as yet. This morning Quaran tine Officer Holt received a telegram from the Quarantine Officer at San Francisco stating that the Cascade's Inspection cer tificate should be ignored and that after the vessel Is fumigated, to hold her until Instructions by letter are received. It is supposed the Cascade failed to observe some of the quarantine regulations at the Bay City. At high tide this morning the tugs Tatoosh and Wallu pulled for three hours on the British ship Claverdon, -which drifted on to the sands during Sunday's gale, but were unable to move her. About 600 tons of cargo have been lightered from the vessel, and there Is a possibility that 1000 tons more will have to be taken out before she can be floated. The schooner Andy Mahoney, which is en route from San Pedro for this port, will receive orders off the bar to proceed to Grays Harbor to load. THREATEN D EATH .
