Both 'Wheelmen and Gillnetters
Contend They Should Be Al- -
lowed to Take Salmon by
Virtue of State Licenses.
Endless complications, resulting In
expensive litigation, are certatn to fol
low the announced intention of H. C.
McAllister. Oregon's Master Fish War
den, strictly to enforce the provision
of the two initiative bills enacted by
the voters of this state last June. Fish
ermen along the river have declared
that they will not observe the laws,
notwithstanding ther fact that scores of
warning notices have been posted at
available points on the river by tne
Master Fish Warden. If arretted, they
threaten to carry the laws into the
courts for a legal opinion as to the
constitutionality of these statutes.
By the terms of the bill proposed by
the Lower River fishermen, all fishing
in the Columbia River above the mouth
of the Sandy Is prohibited except by
hook and line, after September 10. This
bill virtually puts the wheelmen, oper
ating on the Upper Columbia, out of
business, as it was intended to do. The
measure proposed by the Vp-Rlver
wheelmen and enacted by the people
of the state, places serious limitations
on the operations of the gillnetters on
the Lower River. Formerly the closed
season prevailed from August 25 to
. September 10, and after the latter date
Ashing was allowed as long a any
were to be caught, up to March 15,
when there was a closed Spring season
of 30 days. But under the new law.
fishing on the Lower River is allowed
only from September 10 to October 1,
when the closed season Is to be en
forced for the ensuing three months, or
until December. 31. Salmon may then
be taken until March 15. when the
Spring closed season begins and con
tinues until April 15.
Both Sides Resist Law.
Wheelmen and gillnetters alike will
resist the enforcement of the two laws
enacted by the people last June. They
Insist that to shut them off from fish
ing as is proposed amounts to a confis
cation of their property and to an un
due restriction of their means of earn
ing a livelihood. Both classes of fisher
men hold state licenses, which do not
expire until March 31. next. Neither
of the two bills provides for reimburs
ing the bolder of the license for the
unused portion of his permit, and it la
proposed by the fishermen to defy the
law and continue to fish as formerly.
"We hold licenses from the state
which entitle us to continue our fish
ing operations on the river until March
31 r.ext." said a canner yesterday. "On
the strength of that assurance, we have
contracted for labor for the same pe
riod. Now. the people of the state, vot
ing under the initiative on bills the
nature of which they never understood
or cared about, have undertaken to
pSM laws which practically puts us out
of business, without compensating us
in any way. not even providing for a
reimbursement of the unused portion of
our licenses.
"Under the state statutes, we are
held personally liable for all such labor
contracts. Is there any good reason
why the great State of Oregon should
not be compelled to recognize and live
up to the terms of Its contract with the
fishermen, for that is what our licenses
amount to they are nothing more nor
less than a contract between ourselves
and the state, by which we pay for the
right of fishing In the waters over
which the state has Jurisdiction.
"While in Cathlamet. Wash., last
week I was told that anv attempt on
the part of the Oregon state authori
ties to prevent Washington fishermen
from fishing for salmon in the Columbia
River, either on the Washington or the
Oregon side of the river, would be op
posed. Washingtonlans do not indorse
initiative legislation in Oregon that
proposes to circumscribe the rights of
the citizens of a neighboring state.
The Attorney-General of Washington
has assured the fishermen of that state
that the state will back them up and
will protect them from arrest and
prosecution by the Oregon officials.
Means Strife Between States.
"The minute a fisherman residing In
Washington is arrested by the Oregon
authorities, the officials of the former
state propose to take the matter into
the United States Court and there test
the two prohibitive fish laws which have
been adopted by the people of Oregon.
They will seek not only to prove both
of them unconstitutional, but during
the pendency of tne suit will ask for
an Injunction restraining the Oregon
authorities from interfering with the
Washington fishermen until the validity
of the new laws can be determined.
"It is this phase of the situation to
which the Oregon fisherman takes se
rious and warranted exception. Why
1 should the fisherman living In this
state be compelled to sit Idly by and
see his Washington neighbor have the
exclusive fishing privileges of the Co-
lumbia River? From what I have
heard Oregon fishermen say, I do not
think that they will, and it is barely
possible that the fishing interests of
this state may take the initiative and
test the law by the same procedure
threatened by the Washington fisher
men, if any attempt is made by the
authorities in this state to oust them
from their fishing preserves."
With both of the warring factions of
fishermen In this state disappointed
with the result of their own efforts at
popular legislation, it is reasonably
certain that the confused condition of
affairs now existing will result in both
sides Joining in proposing some needed
legislation at the meeting of the State
Legislature next Winter. After their
experience of last June, the rival in
terests are willing to submit their
troubles to the State Legislators and at
the same time resign as embryo law
makers. ADDRESSES BY EDUCATORS

It is announced that Buffalo Bill has
prepared an entirely new exhibition
for his home-coming 'tour, after four

general Ktvle will be the same, there
will be a change of scenic features, dif
ferlng from any that have been seen
with the show durlnar the 25 years it
hum heen before the DUbliC.
Colonel William F. Cody, the last of
the sreat scouts, will , appear in the

bration. saddle at every performance, leading
bin" Congress of Rough Riders In some
remarkable exhibitions of expert
horsemanship. The chief scenic feature
will be the Battle of Summit Springs, a
reproduction of one of the deciding
conflicts In Indian warfare; a battle in
hlch Colonel Cody participated and
in which he shot and killed Chief Tall
Bull. Another pantomimic melodrama
111 be the great train hold-up. In
which will be depicted the robbery of
train a practical engine, cars and a
realistic and true-to-llfe representation
of one of the many scenes of lawless
ness which the West has known.
In a holiday at T-E Ranch will be
pictured the pleasures and pastimes of
the plainsman, cowboy sports and a
dance upon the -green. The contrast
to this scene of peaceful revelry will
be shown in a sudden attack by In
dians. The Rough Riders will display
themselves In difficult feats of horse
mnnship. In short, there is no other
entertainment like Buffalo Bill's Wild
West, and after 25 years before the
public it is more popular than ever.
and In every way better equipped than
before.

The charge Is purely a malicious one.
he says, and has no foundation. His
accuser Is Robert King, who Is in charge
of a ward at the Medical Lake Insti
tution, who alleges that Gilson stole $160
from his trunk.
There is absolutely no truth to the
charge." said Gilson last night. "If 1
had done anything of the kind I would
certainly have gone farther than Port
land. I came here from Spokane a month
ago and have been working steadily ever
since. I do not know why King should
make such a charge against me."

Rain or ehine, Portland's trade union
ists axe resolved to carry out their pro-,
grame In celebration of Labor Day today.
Various subcommittees worked all day
yesterday so that the smallest detail In
connection with today's demonetisation has
been arranged. The laboring people
promise a more Imposing exhibition than
was given last year, when the event was
celebrated formally In Portland for the
first time. They recognize that the suc
cess of the day's exercises has been made
more certain from the voluntary action
of practically all of the retail and whole
sale houses, which have agreed to sus
pend business for the day in order that
their employes may participate in the
festivities.
J. D. M. Crockwell. of the Electrical
Workers, wv.o will be chairman of the
day. and M. L. Mathers, grand marshal.
conferred yesterday with the various sub
committees and the members of the gen
eral committee so that the day's pro
gramme will move with clock-like pre
cision. Union labels will be la evidence
everywhere while the union rules and
regulations also will be recognised. But
in this connection the day's programme in
volves a flagrant violation of the eight
hour law, for there will be something
doing from 10 A. M., when the street pa
rade starts, until midnight, when the
grand ball, in the Oriental building at
the Lewis and Clark jfair grounds, will
conclude the day's celebration.
Everything Is in readiness for the
Labor Day exercises tomorrow." said
Chairman Crockwell yesterday. "Specta
tors may depend on seeing the street pa
rade move promptly at 10 o'clock tomor
row morning, for there wUI be no delay.
The same will be true of the other ex
ercises of the day which will be pulled
off punctually and according to the time
announced for each event.
We have spent considerable time and
effort decorating the Oriental building
at the fair grounds In which the literary
exercises and the grand hall will be held.
This building will be a blaze of attract
ive colors during the day and e. flood of
light et night. Reports received) from
the various labor unions of the city are
to the effect that several thousand union
men and women will take part in the
street parade and attend the exercises
which will be held during the afternoon
at the Lewis and Clark exposition
grounds."
The forenoon will be devoted entirely
to the street parade. At 1 o'clock tomor
row afternoon, literary exercises will be
held in the Oriental building when ad
dresses will be delivered by Governor
Chamberlain, Mayor Lane and W. S.
U'Ren and by three labor organisers, C. O.
loung, j. Lewis ana u. A. white. An
elaborate programme of sports will be
held on the exposition grounds during the
afternoon. Aside from miscellaneous con
tests, there will be a tug-of-war, slide for
life, baseball game and balloon ascension.
Dancing In the Oriental building will be
gin at 4 f. ja. and continue until mid
night. There will be a prize waltz and a
prize two-step.

their convention. Mrs. Sophie B. Kelp, the
belligerent and battle-scarred leader of
the other faction, insists that hers Is the
only true conception of spiritualism and
that the other crowd Is merely a set of
"schemers, using their religion to make
money."
Both conventions held all day sessions
yesterday, the meetings being in the na

However, the nature of the services did
not prevent them from referring to each
other in very irreligious terms.
The Marquam building convention de
voted the morning session to what is
termed a conference, but In ordinary re
ligious circles Is known as church ser
vices. Talks and addresses on higher
spiritualism were delivered by a number
of delegates.
The afternoon meeting was the really
sensational session of the convention. It
was then that the spirits of the dead
were called, and many wonderful tests
are said to have been made. An un
known woman attended the afternoon
session and one of the demonstrators la
said to have put her in communication
with her dead husband. The demonstra
tor is supposed to have known nothing
of the woman's history or name, but is
said to have not only told the name of
her husband but to have delivered sev
eral messages to the "bereaved widow.
Last night's session was devoted to
lectures and addresses. A " lecture ' by
Rev. James D. Corby, pastor of the First
Unlversalist Church, was the feature of
the session. At the conclusion of Ills
address officers were installed, as fol

recognized delegates were In attendance
at the Marquam building meeting.
During Saturday's session, a resolution
was adopted supporting the Mayor and

CRAFTSMEN ENJOY PICNIC
Engravers and Stereotypers In An
nual Onting at Sauvies Island.
Members of the Photo-Engravers and
the Stereotypers' and EHectrotypere'
Unions, accompanied by their families and
numbering, In the aggregate, 150, held
their first annual Joint picnic yesterday
at Sauvie's Island. The trip was made on
the steamers Rose City and Eva and was
enjoyed despite the threatening weather.
This was not allowed to Interfere with
the programme of sports, which was car
ried out as arranged. The principal event.
however, and to which all did credit, was
the excellent picnic dinner served at the
noon hour.
The sport programme was started with
a friendly boxing match between Jack
Allen, of the Photo Engravers, and Adam
Henderson, of the Stereotypers. No de
C'.sion was clven. The Photo-Engravers
won the baseball game by a score of 14
to 7, only to lose the tug-of-war conteet
to the Stereotypers. In the fat men's
race, contestants weiging 180 or more,
Leonard Lesley won the first prize, a $3
hat. There were numerous other races
and other athletic contests, all of which
contributed to a most pleasant day's out
