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.
BOOM COMPANY WINS SUM

ABERDEEN. Wash., Jan. 24. (Special.)
Judge O. V. Linn, of the Superior Court
of Thurston County, sitting for Judge

Court, has been sustained by the Su
preme Court In appeals from his decision

River, In Chehalis county. xne matter
has been in court on other appeals for
the past eight or ten years, and Impor
tant rules relating to boom companies
were handed down. In this case the

erty asked for is upheld. In this opin
ion the court upholds the contentIon""that

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.

Arrested at Lodgings.
Haffner gave Honslg'a name as that of
his accomplice, and Detective Maher a
little later arrested Honslg on Washing
ton street between First and Front,
where he lodged. -
In Jail Honsig maintained that he had
worked with Haffner at Brickson'a ranch,
a few miles from the city, and had be
come acquainted with hlra there. After
they had lost their positions at the
ranch they roomed together in the city
and Honslg said that when Haffner told
him about the letters he advised him not
to attempt the hoid-up. as he would get
Into trouble. When asked why he did
not Inform the police of Haffner'a
threats, he could find no answer.
Haffner, who wrote the letters, when
arrested had a revolver in his possession.
While freely admitting his guilt, he
stoutly maintains that the entire plan
was the. scheme of Honsig, who did not
write the letters eolely because he did
not know how to write English. Haff
ner says that he was employed for six
months as receiving clerk at Meier. &
Frank's store and when he lost his po
sition was forced to do something des
perate. He says that he has relatives in this
country, ona of them living In this city,
and Is a driver for the Portland Dairy
Association. He gave his first name aa
Sam. Haffner further says that he al
ways led an honest life until he met
Honsig at Erlckson 'a ranch and came to
associate with him in this city. He ad
mits that he voluntarily quit his position
at Meier & Frank's.
Both men have been in this country
only two or three years. Honslg asserts
that he 1s a sign painter and was holding
a position with Paul Henry Paulman,
editor of Outdoor Life, It is likely that
an Immense game preserve will be es
