COMET NOT YET VISIBLE ASTRONOMER SAYS PORTLAND SPECTATORS MISTAKEN. Venus Causes Deception, Says Pro fessor Daniels Vigils Con firm His Conclusion, Is the comet a comet? That is a much mooted question just now in Portland with a preponderance of scientific tes timony on the negative side of the Issue. Numerous reports have been made by persons who have asserted that they have seen Halley's comet. However, Profes sor J. W. Daniels, who occupies the chair of astronomy at the Hill Military Academy, last night said no one had seen the comet from Portland. Professor Daniels also declared the re port that the comet was seen from First street by scores of persons, to be a mis take. It would be Impossible to see the comet at that hour, he said. "As it appears to us from the earth," he declared, "the comet is now going to ward the sun. Some tinre ago it would have been possible to see it going away from the sun, if the sky had been clear. I took my blankets, and with friends spent too many cold, sleepless nights on Council Crest to be in error, about its movements. "What people have been seeing from here Is -beautiful Venus, which rises be hind Mount Hood. Now there Is no re semblance between Venus and the comet, and there is no need of working an alarm clock overtime in an effort to see the comet. Hearing this report, a day or so ago, I again went to Council Crest and spent tlie night, but all I, or anyone else, saw was Venus." Bermuda Is "Comet Crazy." NEW YORK. April 26. Passengers on the Royal Mail steamer Packet Oro tava, just in from Bermuda, kept a lookout on their way northward for Halley's comet. On Sunday morning about 3 o'clock their vigils were re warded. Although there was a light mist, they caught the flare of the comet and distinguished the visitor for a few moments. At that time they were about 500 miles south of New York. - The passengers report that Bermuda is "comet crazy." Every morning hun dreds of persons go out to the Glps hill lighthouse and spend several hours scanning the eastern horizon with tele scopes and marine glasses. Nobody had seen the comet up to the time the Oro tava sailed. Comet Innocent of Storms. NEW YORK. April 26. S-. A. Mitch ell, assistant professor at Columbia University, has come to the defense of Halley's comet wjth the assertion that the fiery visitor Is in no way to blame for the remarkable series of weather disturbances which have been common of late throughout the country. "No," said the professor. "It is an absolute certainty that the comet Is as innocent as I am of the weather of fenses. It can have absolutely no effect on weather conditions."

Hast Slbson'a boe Pboo S ell wood A FISHERMEN TO QUIT Oregon City Attorneys Hoist Clients' White Flags. FISH AUCTION PLANNED Attempt Will Be Made by Catchers to Secure Money I'rom Sale. Rnmors of Compromise in Sal mon War Vigorously Denied. Developments yesterday in the war now being waged by Master Fish Warden (McAllister and his deputies against the gillnetters and other fish ermen of the Willamette and Clacka mas rivers indicate the contending fishermen have virtually acknowledged defeat. The contraband fish, weighing about 15 tons, seized in Oregon City, were sent to Portland yesterday afterrtbon and were taken in .charge by Mr. Mc Allister. They will be sold at public auction today and the proceeds will be sent to the state fish hatcheries unless some legal step by Attorney John F. Logan, for the fishermen, in terferes. Attorneys in Oregon City yesterday virtually hoisted the white flag for their clients and announced that no more fishing would be done until after the dates set by the Fish Commission ers. Cases- Postponed. In the Justice Court here yesterday the cases of the two gillnetters, Sam Marovlch and Steve Damyovich; were postponed until Friday afternoon at 1 o'clock, owing to an agreement be tween attorneys for both sides. Master Fish Warden McAllister Is in the city and will remain until the fight is set tled. I. H. Van Winkle, assistant to the Attorney-General, Is remaining In the city to assist in thg prosecution. Attorney John F. Logan said yester day that it was possible that the money realized from the sale ' of the fish brought down from Oregon City would be fought for by the fishermen. Steps will be taken today to have this money tied up legally so that the Master Fish Warden cannot send it to the State Treasurer for the fish hatcheries. A rumor was heard yesterday after noon that an agreement had been ar rived at between Mr. McAllister and attorneys representing the fi&hermen, but this was denied by Mr. McAllister. "I am a party to no agreement or com promise," said he. "There is only one thing I will agree to and that Is the strict enforcement of the law." Answers Are Filed. Master Fish Warden McAllister and Deputy Rathbun filed in the Circuit Court yesterday morning their answer to the replevin suit brought -by the Portland Fish Company, represented by John F. Logan, against them. They say the plaintiff was found with fish In possession, unlawfully taken from the river, and that the closed season from March 1 to May 1 was declared by the Board of Fish Commissioners by virtue of the . power conferred in them by the Governor, and that it was regularly announced by the posting of notices and by publication. They say the fish confiscated was worth only $2500, Instead of $3500, the amount claltned by the fish company. FISH SOLD TO GET RID OF THEM Chinook Salmon Bring Only $1 for 14; Fishing: at Standstill. OREGON CITT. Or., April 26. (Spe cial.) Fine Chinook salmon were sold here today at the rate of 14 fish for $1, simply to get rid of them and prevent their spoiling on the banks of the river, where they had been taken from the boats last night Fishing is practically at a standstill here, as there is no market for the fish, the officers having effectually barred the way Into the Portland markets, and un less the dealers are permitted to sell the salmon, the season will be closed tight. McMinnville to Have Xew Bank. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. April 2fi. The application of Ar- To whom, it may Buyers of Property at The Short Sand Beach Have Not Been "as Rare as an Angel's Visit!" The at. tractiveness of the place is too well known for that. Also listen to this: On my last trip to the Coast I sat down by the roadside on a woodpile one day to wait for the Nehaleni stage. Along came an Old Resident, full of reminiscences, but otherwise sober, and inquired what brought me to that part of the country. "I own The Short Sand Beach over on the side of Neah-kah-nie Mountain, between the mountain and Cape Falcon," I replied, "and I am preparing to put it on the market for Summer homes. ' ' "Oh, I know that place," he said, his face lighting up. "I used to live over near there." Then he proceeded to relate various bits of local history pertaining to it. "A neighbor of mine once undertook to drive a herd o' cattle from Nehalem around the mountain," said he. "The leader of the herd, feelin' cantankerous that mornin' and possibly havin' a grudge agin some of the cattle behind him and the trail bein' narrer not more'n 10 or 12 inches' and the descent into the ocean almost perpendicular at that p'int, it occurred to the ornery beast to contest the right o' way and dispute the passage with the herd behind him. So he turns round and begins hookin', and, be gosh, in the melee that ensued 19 fell into the ocean. The owner was plumb discouraged and packed up and moved away. He said he was goin' to live where his cattle wouldn't fall off the earth." "What I'd like to know," said the demure person to whom I was repeating this narrative on my return to Portland, "did the ornery one fall in, too?" For further particulars regarding this interesting episode and also tracts for Summer homes at The Short Sand Beach, see the owner, Helen S. Gray, at the Nortonia Hotel.
