HOLLYWOOD, Cal.. July 2. (To the
Editor.) Working in "Wild and
Woolly" was like living years
ago, experiencing the same thrills of
the '49 days that my grandfather re
lated to me when I was a boy at school.
Ever since I heard those thrilling
stories of the untamed West, it has
been my ambition to live them, even
though they were prearranged and of
a theatrical flavor. I am fond of work
ing out in the open and almost our en
tire production of "Wild and Woolly"
was staged in the foothills of Arizona
and California. My horse "Smiles" does
himself proud In this picture, which, I
understand, is soon to be shown In
Portland.
I ride a bucking broncho and talk
about your aeronautical sensations, to
stick on a bucker is worse than sailing
on an ocean liner when you are ter
ribly seasick.
I sincerely hope that yo will enjoy
"Wild and Woolly" and derive the same
pleasure from it as wa had in making
the picture. Yours sincerely,
DOUGLAS FAIRBANKS.

gagement at the Peoples Theater to

performances, twice in the afternoon

FISHING LAW VOIDED
Prohibition on Importation of
Salmon Held Unconstitutional.
STATE WILL APPEAL CASE
Astoria Fishermen Considered Dis
criminated Against and State
and Federal Organic Law
Believed to Be Violated.
ASTORIA. Or.. July 8. (Special.)
That the Belland law enacted at the
recent session of the Legislature to
prohibit the sale of salmon caught in
tho ocean off the Columbia River dur
ing the closed fishing season is un
constitutional was tha decision today
by Circuit Judga Eakln.
The ruling waa made on the appeal
of the three cases against Mantta Lo
honen, a troller. who was fined $50
each on three charges of having salmon
in his possession last Sunday, the
salmon having been caught outside
tha three-mile limit off the mouth of
the Columbia River. In his decision
Judge Eakin said in part:
"This law makes it unlawful to have
in one's possession any salmon fish
caught in the ocean outside the three
mile limit during any cLosed season.
Under such a law, no fish caught at
sea. off the Columbia River could be
brought Into Oregon at any time.
"There Is no date on which there Is
not a closed fishing season effective
in some section of the state; again,
there is no law prohibiting Balmon- fish
caught in California or Washington
waters or in the ocean off those states
being brought into Oregon at any time.
"Hence, tha statute under which
these actions are brought is a discrim
ination against salmon fish caught in
a certain part of the ocean. I believe
it is in violation of the Constitution of
the United States, as well as of the
constitution of the state."
The actions against Lahonan are to
be used as a test case and the state
will take an appeal to the Supreme
Court at once. While the ruling of
Judge Eaktn doea not act as an injunc
tion against the further enforcement
of the law. it is -understood that the
state fisheries department will make
no further arrests for violations of this
