SCORE CONVICTION
Rancher Charged With Setting
Forest Fire May Be First
Westerner Found Guilty.
EVIDENCE HARD TO OBTAIN
Tolcy Spray Accused of Burning
Timber to Drive Stockmen From
Vicinity of His Uma
tilla Homestead.
In the numerous trials In the West of
men on charges of netting: fires In the
Government forest reserves, not a single
defendant has been convicted, but next
week the United States District Attorney's
office in Portland will prosecute Its first
i-uii. oi xnis cnaracter and hopes to se
cure a conviction.
Tho chief difficulty In securing convlc
, tlons has been the almost lmpossibillty
of getting direct testimony against the
defendants. In nearly all cawa the evi
dence has been wholly circumstantial and
the juries have failed to convict. Some
months ko the Portland Federal officers
captured a man here named Webb who
was wanted In California on a charge of
Durninjr t-iovernment forests. AVebb was
sent back to California and acquitted.
In the cnne that will be trlfd next week
the defendant In Toley Spray, a home
steader In the Umatilla Forest Reserve,
who is accused of setting eight or ten
fires that caused five sections of land In
the reserve to be burned over In Septem
ber, 130$. After the fire Spray left the
country and went to British Columbia.
He returned to his homestead about six
weeks ago and was arrested. He Is now
in jail.
Tn this case the Government expects
to produce direct testimony placing re
sponsibility for the fires upon Spray. The
theory of the prosecution Is that Spray
desired to drive out of the country the
nheep and cattlemen who were pastur
ing their stock in the reserve. District
Attorney McCourt expects to produce
witnesses who saw tho man lido up to one
of the places where a fire soon started
and to ride away again after the flames
gained headway.
Some days ago Spray sent a letter to
the District Attorney expressing a desire
to end the case without further expense
to the Government. Spray Is somewhat
Illiterate and asked the District Attorney
to send him "a tlerney." An attorney
was sent and Spray has now engaged
two as his counsel.and It is expected will
contest the prosecution of the case.
The maximum penalty that may be Im
posed on conviction on this charge Is
two years' Imprisonment or JflOOO fine.
The Spray case will be followed by a
similar one in which Charles Page is de
fendant. Page, who has a mining claim
in the foreet reserve, asserts that the
charge has been trumped up against him
by persons who want his claim.
ANDERSON- CASE BEFORE JURY
Lawyer Clash in Suit fop $20,000
Damages.
The fact that J. H. Smlfh, one of the
counsel for Mis Annie Anderson, In her
suit for $20,000 damages against the City
of Astoria, is a brother of Mayor Smith
of that city, was criticised by Attorney
G. C. Fulton, representing Astoria. In hl-j
argument in the case before a jury In
the Federal Court yesterday.
This criticism brought out a heated re
ply from Henry E. McGinn, who Is asso
ciated with Mr. Smith, and who closed
the argument In the case. Mr. McGinn
asserted that the Smith brothers were
employed as attorneys by Miss Anderson
long before Mr. Smith ever thought of
becoming Mayor of Astoria, and that
the Issue was tried out In the campaign
and Mr. Smith was chosen Mayor re
gardless of his previous connection with
the case.
Attorney McGinn, In his argument'
charged that the City of Astoria and the
Astoria & Columbia River Railroad had
conspired to defeat Miss Anderson of
damages Justly duo her. He asserted
that the attempt by fhe city to place the
locality of the accident between the rails
of the railroad, and not at the point
where Miss Anderson says, it occurred,
was for the purpose of shifting fhe re
sponsibility upon the railway comvanr
and that the testimony of the railway
employes summoned as witnesses indi
cated that if Miss Anderson had sued
the railroad instead of the citv, the com
pany would have attempted to shift the
responsibility for the defective plankin
upon tho city. .
The seriousness of Miss Anderson's In
jury was not actively disputed in the
trial Just closed, although n attempt
was made to show that It was more
serious fhan it would have been had she
had proper surgical treatment and hos
pital care Miss Anderson is 61 years
old, and, having suffered a very severo
fracture, age. It Is said, has made per
manent recovery impossible. Miss An
derson now uses a crutch.
The case went to the Jury shortly be
fore 4 P. M. yesterday, and if the Jury
agrees upon a verdict before morning it
will be submitted In sealed form.

C. H. Callender.
Suit to recover $8357.64. instituted by the
Old Oregon Mills against C. H. Callender.
a logger, was commenced In the Federal
Court yesterday afternoon.
According to the complaint. Callender
entered into a contract to deliver 7 000 000
feet of logs to tho plaintiff's mill near
Astoria, at the price of $13.50 a thousand
feet, board measure. The contract was
entered into November 25. 1906. and it is
alleged that $2 a thousand in advance
was paid by the mill company to Callen
der. It Is further alleged that since June
IS, 1807, Callender has refused to deliver
any more logs, although his contract still
cans ror 4,418.816 feet. It is for the $2 a
thousand advanced on tho undelivered
logs that fhe mill company Is suing.
Callender. by way of defense, alleges
that he ceased to deliver logs at the re
quest made by the mill oompary. because
the price of logs had declined. It is also
alleged that the Issues involved have al
ready been adjudicated in the Circuit
Court for Clatsop County. Where Callen
der obtained a judgment against the mill
company In a controversy growing out of
the same contract
Tho Jury was secured and the opening
statements by counsel made before ad

TIIE MORNING
SALMON HATCHERY
FOR BONNEVILLE
Tanner Creek Decided On by
Master Fish Warden as Lo
cation for -New Station.
START OPERATIONS BY FALL
McAllister Files June Report, and
Makes Recommendations as to
Closed Season Month's
Catch Very Light.
Tanner Creek, near Bonneville, has been
selected as the site for the central hatch
ery, for which the last Legislature made
an appropriation of J20.000. Plans have
been approved and ViM r.
etructing at that point a building 65x230
mci, ouiiauio ior natcnery work. The
new central station will be completed
in time to receive the eyed eggs from the
substations this Fall.
"Assisted by Henry O'Malley, of the
United States Bureau of Fisheries," said
Master Fish Warden McAllister, in re
porting his selection of the Bonneville site
to the Board of Fish Commissioners, "I
have investigated every available stream
on the Columbia River, for the purpose
of establishing the central hatchery pro
vided for by the last Legislature. Each
stream was given due consideration, and
Tanner Creek, at Bonneville, selected,
due to Its superior water, quality and
quantity."
In his report to the members of the
Board. Mr. McAllister refers to the fact
that, due In a large measure to high
water, the salmon catch on the Columbia
River during June was light. It is the
opinion of the Fish Warden, however,
that the high water was not without its
advantage?, since It enabled an unusually
large number of salmon to ascend the
river and its tributaries and to reach the
different hatcheries.
After making a personal visit to several
of the large hatcheries during the month
and receiving reports from the others,
Mr. McAllister reports there is every as
surance that a large take of eggs will be
secured at each of the substations. Mr.
McAllister makes the recommendation to
the Board that the law be so changed
as to make the closed season on the Wil
lamette River uniform with that relating
to the Columbia. Discussing this sub
ject, Mr. McAllister in his report says:
The season on the Willamette closed on
June 15. after one of the most successful
years in the history of the Industry. This
was made possible by Vie closing of the
Columbia until May 1 while the Willamette
opened on April IS. The Board will recall
the efforts made by me, with their help, to
close this stream to conform with the close
season existing; on the Columbia, and how,
through a technical error, same was made
Impossible. I would respectfully urge that
steps be taken In time, by you gentlemen,
looking toward the closing of this river next
year, so that the salmon protected in the
Columbia will be allowed to reach the
hatcheries, as Intended.
Receipts for the month aggregated
J2161.87. while the disbursements reached
a total of $3026.97.
