MA BURKE REPLIES
Collector Answers Criticisim
of Report on Fishermen.
FIRM STAND ANNOUNCED
Customs Official Advls.es Swrctary
or Union to Soc Laws Obeyed,
Lights Carried and Channel
Kept Free for Liners.
Tteplylim to criticism directed
Btrai.'.st Mm at Astoria, because of hia
Hction in reporting facts to Washing
ton regarding- the obstruction of the
channel by fishing boats, resulting in
the New York liners, Sunta Cecilia and
American grounding while trying to
avoid running down the boats. Col
lector of Customs Burke has written
un open letter to H. M. Lorntsen. sec
retary of the Columbia River Fisher
men's Protective Union. In it he sets
forth comment he made on the situa
tion, also his attitude and what suc
cess has been attained on the river
between Astoria and the Willamette
with other fishermen.
The letter is as follows:
Tour letter of May 11 to the Aatortan was
clipped and mailed to me with a note signed
"Fishermen' Friend." In it you wrongfully
quote me as saying that "The fishermen at
Astoria have ruled things for years and
they must bo taught to rcroftnize the rights
of others. Large ships which come In there
cannot suffer from such losses as they have
been to." '
Quotation la Explained.
t don't recall ever using such language,
although it applies fairly well. What I have
said Is: "If tho channel of the river Is
made dangerous or difficult at any point by
fishing boats and nets, the millions ex
pended by the Government in removing nat
ural obstructions have been spent in vain."
1 said further that "foreign ships have been
held outside the bar all night, and last
week the American and the Santa Cecelia
went to ground in the fear of endangering
life and property by holding to the channel
clogged with nets and boats in tho vicinity
of Astoria."
1 alao said this: "The Importance of the
fishing industry is recognized and sympathy
is general for the individual fisherman, but
commerce has the Tight of way" on the
river, and the Government will go to any
extent necessary to keep the channel clear
lor the free passage of commercial ships."
"Order" Is Act of Congress.
The "order" you complain of, and whtch
you say was issued from this office, b a
Federal law that has been in force since
St7. It is .my duty to enforce it and there
lor. I must and will. At one time I asked
authority to relax this law in a part of this
district where shipping is unimportant. If
not entirely absent. Following is my letter
to the Department and the reply:
"Portland, Or., July Its, 1013. Tho Hon
orable, tho Secretary ot Commerce Sir: I
have the honor to transmit herewith peti
tion of citizens of Alsoa Bay and River re
questing that the carrying of lights on fish,
ing boats he waived.
"Alsea Hny is a small bay on the coast
south of Yaquina Bay and vessels cannot
enler on account of the shallow bar, and the
only boats used thero are flshWg boats and
gasoline Irninrlies.
"Tills petition is submitted for your con.
Idcratlou. Respectfully,
"THOMAS C. BURKE).
"Collector of Customs.'
Itcply ITobihlts Change.
"Dcpartintnt of Commerce, Office of the
Secretary, Wttshint;ton. I. C, July ilO, 30i:l.
Thomas O. rmrKo, collector or . ustoms,
Portland, Or. Sir: Your letter of the 38th
instant transmitting petition Of citizens of
Alsea Bay and River, received. . . .
"The act of June 7, 1M17, provides that the
following regulations for preventing collision
shall la followed by all vessels navigating
nil harbors and rivers and Inland waters of
the United States, etc., and Article 1 pro
vides 'rules concerning laws shall be com
piled with In all weathers from sunset to
sunrise, and during such time no other
lights which may be mistaken for the pre
scribed lights shall be exhibited.' Article
W provides, "all vessels when trolling, dredg
ing, or l'ishlr.g with any kind of a drag net
shall exhibit from some part of the vessel
where they can be best seen, two lights; one
of these shall be red and the other white,'
etc.. eto.
"You may Inform the applicants that the
Department Is not authorized to waive the
above cited act of Congress.
"Respectfully, E. T. SWEET,
"Assistant Secretary."
Advice to Obey Low Given,
The above reply should make it clear to
you that It Is a law of tba United states
and 1 applies to inland waters everywhere,
and not an "order" from this office such as
you romptaln of as being directed against
the Columbia River whereby the fishermen
there, as you are pleased to say, "are pre
vented from use of their vision at nights,
thereby making them practically, helpless
during the dark hours."
If you are really the "Fishermen's
Friend," Mr. I.ornsten, you will advise them
to obey the laws of the country which per
mit them to occupy its navigable waters un.
molested and. as you say, "earn a living for
themselves and their dependents" by fish
ing therein so long as they adhere to the
regulations prescribed and do not obstruct
commerce.
Regulation Kxamnle Cited.
For about 25 miles down from the mouth
ef the Willamette the fishermen are aiding
this office most cheerfully and everybody is
nappy. For example, on the first drift down
from the Willamette. George Beaver is cap
tain of the drift, and bis buslenss Is to see
that every boat on that drift Is fully
equipped with lights and otherwise, and that
the ship channel is kept clear for passing
noats; and so on down for about the dis
tance stated the drifts are bandied in the
same way. Boats drift in their order and
every fisherman has an equal chance, for
there are no poachers slipping? along in the
dark and life and property are not endan
gered.
I would recommend some such plan to you
1u having the fishermen around Astoria co
operate with this office by keeping the river
channel unobstructed for the passage ot
commercial boats and otherwise obeying the
laws and regulations of the Government. In
this way you can prove yourself to be in
Tact "The Fishermen s Friend."

RABIES FIGHT IS TO BEGIN
Federal Hunters Are to Cover lSast
crn and Southern Part of State.
The United States Department of
Agriculture has taken steps to assist
in the destruction of covotes in East
em and Southern Oregon to put an
end to the epidemic 'of rabies in those
sections, according to a communication
which was received from that depart
ment yesterday by lr. Calvin S.
White, state health officer. The com
munication says in part:
"We have taken steps to employ five
or six of the best hunters available in
the affected districts in Eastern and
Southern Oregon. We have directed
Edward 11. Sans, of this bureau, to
make a trip through the region to
select and start the hunters to work.
Unfortunately the pressure of work at
this season is so great that it is nec
essary for Mr. tians to leave this work
soon after June 1. However, he will
resume work against coyotes on more
extensive lines in Eastern Oregon in
October."
TAX EXEMPTION DEMANDED
Son Insist! Weyerhaeuser KM ate in
AVnlrington Is Not Liable.
OT.YMPIA, Wash., May 14. Fred
erick "Weyerhaeuser, son of the preat
timber owner who died in 1913, has
written to the s4ate tax commission
insisting that the Weyerhaeuser estate
is not liable to inheritance tax in
Washington. The letter says that the
eldor Weyerhaeuser left no property,
either real or personal, in the state
of Washington.
It is true that the Weyerhaetiner
Timber Company, with capital of $6,
000,000 and asset in this state worth
probably $20,000,000, waH owned in
fact by the late Mr. Weyerhaeuser, but
his son contends that the ownership

GRAIN BUYERS WAIT
Market Too Uncertain for
Speculation.
PRICES HOLDING STEADY
Xo Sales 011 Exchange, but Lim
ited Trading on Curb Con
tinued 3Iovement of
Wheat to East.
There were no grain sales at the Mer
chants Exchange yesterday, but 5000 bushels
of prompL bluestem changed hands on the
curb at fl.19. This is close to the prioe
that has been current during the latter
half of the week. The best bid made at
the open sessoln vai SI. 18, a cut under Thurs
day's quotation. June hluestem bids were
lowered IV4 cents, but elsewhere through
out the list, offered prices were the same
as the day before,, except in the case of
club and fife, where bids were 1 to 2 cents
higher. Oats bids were unchanged, but
barley bids were raised 25 to 50 cents.
The uncertainly that is hanging over all
cojnmodity and speculative markets is hav
ing a, deterrent effect on wheat trade here.
The whole business public Is waiting to
see the outcome of the negotiations with
Germany, while the wheat trade 'a also
watching the progress of operatio in the
Dardanelles. In the meantime there is no
disposition to speculate in the market
either way.
California demand, which promoted a
little activity recently, was not so much
in evidence yesterday. Some Eastern busi
ness was reported by a few dealers. It is
estimated that 600.000 bushels of wheat
have been sold for shipment East and a
good part of this has already gone forward.
Bradstreet's estimates shipments this
week at 6,750.000 bushels of wheat and 666,
487 bushels of corn.

RKFU9I5 TO SENT POTATOES HERE
Minnesota Shippers lind Better Markets
Elsewhere.
Stocks of Oregon potatoes are now prac
tically cleaned up. A shipment of 10 cars
has been made by McKinley Mitchell to
California. These potatoes are -wanted there
for seed, and a total of about 20 cars., have
lately gone forward for that purpose. This
takes care of nearly all the available supply
of marketable Oregon potatoes. -
From now on the local trade will prob
ably have to depend on the East for old
potatoes, and they will cost more money.
Minnesota shippers have given notice that
piey will send no more cars here, as the re
turns have been unsatisfactory and better
markets have been found elsewhere. The
Wisconsin stock brought in was poor, and
the dealers will have no more of it, so it is
likely they will have to call again on Min
nesota and pay the prices asked.
In the ireantlme new potatoes continue
scarce and high. The California markets
are firm, because of the broader demand for
their stock, and local dealers find it diffi
cult to get enough potatoes to fill their or
ders. INDEPENDENCE HOP
CROP
SOLD
Murphy Ixt Is Taken at 10 and 10'. Cents
by Bolam.
The first transaction in spot hops report
ed for eome time past was announced yes
terday, and It shows that values have not
materially declined during the inactive
period.
The lot sold was that of Murphy, of In
dependence, 138 bales. Hal V. Bolam was
the purchaser. A part of the crop brought
10'4 cents and the remainder 10 cents. It
was one of the finest lots produced in the
state in 1914.
There appears to be no demand for con
tracts. Reports as to the growth ot the
coming crop are conflicting.
Kansas dliller's Report on Crops.
I. M. Yost, president of the Yost Milling
Company, of -Wilson, Kan., was lu the city
yesterday. He is on his annual business
trip to Oregon, and reports that the crops
made a fine appearance along the line all
the way from Utah. ,
As for the Kansas wheat crop, Mr. Yost
says it will exceed that ot last year, which
he declares was even larger than the Gov
ernment's final estimate. He says there is
plenty of wheat still left in the state, and
he looks for much lower prices.
Berry Supply Is Lighter.
The supply I of berries on the street yes
terday was not large, the rain and cold
Weather holding back the crop. The sup
ply was sufficient, however, as the demand
was not heavy. The best berries sold at
$1.33 to $1.50.
Vegetable receipts were light and prices
were generally unchanged.
Poultry Prices Continue Low.
Poultry continues to come in plentifully,
but at the low prices the demand Is good.
Dressed meat supplies have been light
throughout the week and the market is
very steady.
The egg market was also steady, with the
supply and the demand about equal. Butter
and cheese are moving well at unchanged
prices.
Hay Market Is Steady.
Hay prices are holding steady all along
the line. The market la in healthy shape
and is likely to continue so during the re
mainder of the season. Receipts are not
large, but just about enough hay Is coming
in to supply the demand.

Review will say tomorrow:
'The developments of the week afford
new proof of the essential stability and
power of the financial and business struc
tures. While there Is uncertainty as to
the final outcome, there is faith in the
ability of the Nation to adapt itself, with.
financial readiness, to every contingency
that may arise.
"Outside of the stock, cotton and other
equally sensitive market, the effect of the
new war developments lias not ttia rfrillv
changed the generally favorable aspect of
me vraae situation. wun scarcely an ex
ception, statistical comparison, by which
DuBiness activity is measured, reflected pro
gressive improvement, and that the steady
gain in bank clearings la not wholly due
to the expansion in speculative operations
at many of the leading- centers outside of
New York.
''Railroad earnings made a better exhibit
and thu larger traffic movements hav re
sulted in notable falling off in number

Wall Street Market Declines in
Orderly Manner.
War stocks suffer most
Domestic lleports Are Mostly Favor-
able, but Anxiety Over Outcome
of International Situation
Is Dominant Tractor.
SEW YORK, May 14. Anxiety over ths
outcome of the international situation, more
particularly the tense relatione between this
country and uermany, was the all-pervading
feature of today's stock market. Prices fell
to a points In the representative group
and u to 10 points in those Issues which
have come to be designated as "war tock."
Lowest quotations were made In the Xina
hour with only the most meager recoveries.
Some comfort was extracted from the fact
that senilis: was at all times moderate and
unattended by any or the excitement which
accompanied recent declines.
Actual news developments, so far as tney
affected domestic credits, were mostly fa
vorable, but these elements were over
shadowed by the restraint which affected
all circles. Bankers and other substantial
interests commonly assumed to be in close
touch with all onuses of the foreign situa
tion counseled extreme caution. Xo such
an extent was this policy observed that
some of the more conservative brokerage
houses not only advised their clients to
close out speculative account, but in some
instances refused to engage In new pur
chases of this character except for cash.
One plausible reason advanced In explana
tion of tha day's moderate business was that
large amounts of stock could not be dis
posed of without serious depression of prices.
It was regarded as significant also tnat
banks were scaling down values of special
stocks offered In loans. In line with this
attitude, a firmer tone was noted for all
time maturities, even though call money was
In free supply.
Total sales of stocks amounted to 7ZU,0UJ
shares.
Francs fell to a new low record in tho
foreign exchange market and Italian re
mittances were unchanged from their recent
low figures.
Domestic bank clearings made favorable
comparison with a year ago, local banks
gaining decidely over this period ot the
last two years.
Bonds were weak with total sales par
value of $2, 950.000. United States and Pan
ama bonds declined from to 1 per cent on
call.

CHICAGO, May 14. Export business, ap

on account of uncertainties growing out of
tne American note 10 wrmany, wuaeu w
bring about a sharp decline today in the
price of wheat. The market closed unset
tled at 1:4 to Z'.i cents under last nig m.
Other leading staples, too, finished at a
net loss, corn to IVic, oats to 154Q

The Texas official report was said to bo
the most flattering ever Issued as to condi
tions In that state. On the other hand, an
earlier private report from a leading author
ity said the chance or a Dumper crop mis
year in Kansas was gone.
Although corn at first was inclined to
hold steady, the market lautr gave way
with wheat. News regarding the progress
of planting counted somewhat against the
bulls.
Absence of Important cash sales punea
down oats. Besides, field conditions were
said to be excellent, especially in tha South
