K3 As "!mWz mmJEP - fL WONDER. 0 HOW FAR almost in LJ I ITWILL, TAKE. HIM f 00f law eooi- - y' ANGLERS AWAITING OF STEELHEAOS Prospects Are Bright for Ex cellent Fishing Soon. STREAMS EASILY REACHED Sandy River, East of Portland, Most Popular Water Course for Those AVith Limited Time. Anglers who enjoy winter fishing and are willing to brave the severe weather have not as yet met with many thrills in streams within easy reach of Portland. Steelheads, such as arc sought in the months of December, January and Feb ruary, have not yet banded together and made assault' on any particular stream. Some steelheads have been caught, but from the nature of re ports and experiences of veteran anglers, the big run has not yet started up the Columbia river. The present rainfall Is having its effect on the many streams emptying into the Columbia ' river and before long there should be many steelheads on their way up stream. These fish. after their life in the sea, are brim full of pep and, once hooked, they offer battle that is long remembered by the man on the other end of the line. With a light casting rod, a smooth-running reel and a cultivated thumb, one can realize much enjoyment casting into pool3 and deep-flowing riffles. An abundance of such water lies within easy access of local anglers, permitting the full enjoyment of a one-day trip. Most popular of all streams is the Sandy, east of Portland, and between one or two-hour ride by either elec tric car or automobile. Splendid stretches of water can be reached either from Troutdale. on the lower river, or Bull Run on the upper river. Down the Columbia, on the Orejron side, are many streams easily reached by railroad. Scappoose creek always attracts anglers. Milton creek is but a few miles farther on and affords plenty of sport. Clatskanie river often offers good returns to the angler who visits that stream. At Knappa, near Astoria, Big creek a dandy stream flows into the Columbia river, and most always is the biding place of many fresh-run and very bright steel heads. Many an angler has had his skill tested on the fast-running riffles with a bulldog steelhead on the other end of his line. In Washington, and also readily reached by railroad, are many fine streams and all of good proportions. Cowlitz river, near Kelso: Kalama river, near Kalama; Tewis river, near Woodland or Ridgefield; Washouga river, near Washougal, and the White Salmon, at Underwood, aro among the most popular of Washington streams. The membership campaign of the Multnomah Anglers" club is on in fu swing. Anglers keenly interested in fish propaganda and game protection should enroll. It is all for a good cause, Mr. Steinhar and Mike Butler have an entirely different story to tell o their fishing luck since they Journeyed to the Nehalem river last Monday and Tuesday. Rivalry in tournament bait and fly casting is waxing hot around th sporting goods counters at this par ticular time. After the return of all the veterans from the service and th tournaments are started interest in tournament bait and fly casting will be at its height. Mighty are the- preparations now be ing made by many anglers who will attempt the drive on the Chinook I April and May. We hope that Mr. Salmon is not posted on trench war fare. From the nature of plans now bctn formulated by "Doc" Downs his offic attendants will see very little of hi smiling countenance during the salmo season. It is the wonder of many who th lucky man will be who will show th boys how to lay out 120 feet of fly lin or average 200 feet in half-ounce dis tance. The annual meeting of the Salmon club of Oregon will be held next Frida night. Members are requested to at tend. Ray Winters, secretary, has som very interesting matters to be brought to the members uttention. CHICAGO MAX AGAIN WIN McAndlcss Takes Third Victory 1 Billiard Tournament. CHICAGO. March 2.

Law of March 4, 19 19, Declared Unconstitutional, Carried to Hisu est " Tribunal In America. BT TOM A MARSHALL. XEW YORK. March 2. (SpeciaD- 'The mills of the Gods grind slowly. but they grind exceedingly fine." Court decisions arc delayed, but many come when least expected. The United States uprcme court has the mills of the Gods backed off the boards for procraslina ion and dilatory performance. The migratory bird act of March 4, 1913, was declared unconstitutional by Judge Trieber of the United States district court for the eastern district of Arkansas. The case was Immediately appealed o the Lnited States supreme court. the first argument was heard on the appeal in the fall of 19ir, acain in February, 1916. and passed subject to call in October. 1916. Since that date the case has been "hanging fire," while millions of sportsmen in the Lnited States have been awaiting the decision which would have put to rest for all time the question of the constitutional ly of the law. The law is good in its ramifications and a. great protection to the bird life of our nation If universally enforced. On January 6, 1919, based upon a re quest from the attorney-general, the case of pending appeal was dismissed by the United States supreme court. Again high legal comedy is being played and staged with prospective spectacular effects. Was this dismis sal of this case a confession of uncon stitutionality of the migratory bird law as held by Judge Trieber? Was the request of .the attorney general made because the highest tribunal was to decide unfavorably and there was no opportunity presented to declare the treaty with Canada of 191s the law of the land? It was claimed that the United States supreme court was not given an oppor tunity to render a decision because the migratory bird treaty act of 1918 su perseded the older law of 1913. That the supreme court was not given an opportunity to decide is a monumental joke. Three years of procrastination while millions of interested people were on the qui-vive awaiting the decision that never came. By dismissal the attorney-general has shot his load in mid-air, paving the way for unlimited learned legal opinions, none of which will carry weight with the opposition until there is a decision eventually ren dered by the court from which there is no appeal. The enforcement authorities should as soon as possible get a final decision on the constitutionality of the law and Jurisdiction of Mates over migratory birds, thus eliminating prospective le gal conflicts. The fact that there is a penalty, upon conviction, of not more than J500 or Imprisonment of not more than six months, or both, should deter violators from taking a long chance TOURNAMENT BATE CHOSEN SPORTSMEN'S ASSOCIATION CON.

A number of different dates were suggested by various coaches for staging the tournament, but a vote taken on all the suggested dates proved March 14 and 15 tlie best suited. Mate to Be Divided. The state will be divided Into the following sections: 1. the city of Port land: 2. eastern Oregon, composed of Pendleton. Baker. La Grande and their natural opponents; 3. central Oregon, composed of Hood River. The Dalles, Bend and their natural opponents; 4, lower Columbia from Portland to As toria; G, Willamette valley: 6. Cooe bay. and 7. southern Oregon. Cottage Grove to Ashland. The champion team of cacft section will be brought to fclugene. The Wil lamette valley section contains so many teams that it is impossible for all of them to meet, thus making it difficult to select a champion, so two quintets may be chosen from that section, but it is hoped that the valley tournament at Salem will settle the titular question. Kntrtes must be in by March 12 at the latest. The tournament will be a straight elimination one. and all contests will be decided by drawing. The schedule will be as follows: Friday, March 14 4 P.
