(Special.) The spring fishing season on the Co lumbia river will open at noon tomor row and will extend until noon on Augrust 25. What it will produce is a matter of speculation, as much depends upon the run of salmon. With the ruling high prices to be paid for raw fish, the outlook is good, as far as the returns of the Individual fishermen are concerned. The packers, however, are more pes simistic over what is In store for them. They say the market for the cured product is far from satisfactory. There Is little demand for canned salmon in America, and, while there is some de mand in Europe, principally In Eng land, the local packers are shut out from this market because permits for export must be obtained from the gov ernment and no permits are being is sued. The fact that the war depart ment has on hand several hundred thousand cases of canned fish, which it may turn back, is having a bearish effect. The cold storage market is also somewhat crippled, as it has been since the world war began. Germany was the principal market for that product but the opening of hostilities cut off that exporting; point and it is till closed. Selalaa; Groaada Prepared. Four ptning grounds, the Tom Spencer, Kaboth, Harry Spencer and Fesdemonia sands, are preparing to begin fishing' on the opening day. Practically all the inside traps or about half the traps in the lower river will also start, while it is expected that approximately 350 trollers' and approximately 1000 glllnetters will have their gear in the water tomor row. The remainder of the gillnetters, as well as most of the seiners, will await unttl later in the season before beginning operations. The outside traps cannot fish to advantage until after the expected freshet subsides, while the same is true of some of the seining grounds and the purse seiners will not begin inforce until about the first of July. Trolling outside the mouth of the river promises to be followed more ex tensively this season than ever be fore. Hundreds of new trolling boats have been built both here and at other points this winter and it is estimated that at the height of the season from 2500 to 3000 boats will be engaged in that class of fishing. Some of these craft are fitted with cabins and sleep ing quarters for the crew, so they can stay outside for days at a time, if nec essary. Glllnetters Become Trollern. One reason for the popularity of this class of fishing is the cheapness of the gear. With the prevailing high price of twine, gillnets cost fully twice as much as they did a few years ago and the quality is so poor they are good for only one season's use. As result many of the former glllnetters arc abandoning1 their nets and invest ing in hooks and lines to become troll ers. The competition among the fish buy ers is expected to be unusually keen this season, for besides the independ ent fresh fish dealers in the field, three additional canneries will be in opera tion on what may be termed the lower river and each will have its receiving stations in all sections of the stream. The new plants are Columbia Fish com pany, Astoria; Jeldness Brothers, Point Ellis, and Allen & Hendrickson. Rat nicr. There will also be the customary number of cold storage plants. Owing to the continued cold weather and the large amount of snow in the mountains, a freshet of considerable t.ii6 and Ions duration is anticipated This is looked upon as a favorable Bign for the fishing Industry, especial ly for the gillnetters, who operate In the lower harbor, and the trollers who . so outside, as the present of a great body of fresh and muddy water keeps the salmon playing about in the estu ary near the mouth of the river and makes day fishing more easy and profitable. H. M. West, 254 North Twenty-fifth street, died at his home yesterday morninff, after a brief illness from pneumonia, followed by meningitis. Mr. West was assistant manager of the Columbia Basin Wool Warehouse com pany. During the last two years he had spent much of his time at the com pany's headquarters in Boston, and had ust returned to Portland, preparatory o moving his family to that city. He is survived by his wife, formerly Miss Drusilla Moody of The Dalles, and three children. iUBUN, April 30. Sir John P. Ma- haffy, provost of Trinidad college, Dub lin, since 1914, died today. He was 81 years of age. PAVING FIGHTS RENEWED BITUMINOUS VERSUS COXCRETE DEBATED IX COUNCIL. Mayor ami Commissioners Barbnr and Bigclow Oppose Clioice to Property Owners. Memories of olden days in the city council, when every council meeting was featured by a fight over the award of paving contracts, were brought back yesterday when a preferential petition was filed asking that the lowest bid for bituminous pavement be awarded in place of the bid for concrete pave ment for the improvement of Jessup street from Commercial street to Van couver avenue. The bid of Cochran Bros, for con crete pavement was the lowest sub mitted, being $6300.65. against the lowest bid for bituminous pavement offered by the Warren Construction company, amounting to $6534.63. City Commissioners Mann and Perkins took the stand that the ma jority of the property owners, who were forced to pay the bills, should have the privilege of having a. choice in the pavement to be laid. City Commissioner Barbur took a strong stand against such a policy. stating that should the bars be dropped down, it would not be long before the contractors would go back to the old system of soliciting the property own ers to secure approval of a particular type of pavement and all competition between contractors would come to an end. His position was supported . by Commissioner Bigelow. Mayor Baker stated that personally he favored the bitulithlc .pavement against the concrete, but that he saw the justice in Commissioner Barbur s argument and would therefore sup port him. Final action on the award or the contract was delayed, one week. 'JUBILEE GETS BIG LIGHT COMPAXY TI PREPARES FOR HOMECOMING CELEBRATION.

FRAZIER VERDICT UPHELD Supremo Conrt Sustains Conviction of Eugene Realty Dealer. EUGENE, Or., April 30. (Special.) E. J.
