SHORT DELAY PROMISED
South Portland Residents Declare
Section Would Be Endangered.
Mayor Resents Abuslie Talk.
Ore hundred property owners of
South Portland gathered at the city
hall yesterday and individually and
collectively voiced indignant protest
gainst the establishment of a small
pox station In the barracks adjacent
to the county hospital at Second and
Hooker streets. The protests were
made before a joint meeting of the
elty and county commission.
Following the registration of the
opposition Mayor Baker announced
that the council would' delay moving
smallpox patients Into the hospital
until next Tuesday and during the
Interim the members of tlie council
would endeavor to locate another
place which might be used.
For more than one hour individual
property owners pleaded with the
council to reconsider the decision to
use, the south Portland barracks for
the isolation hospital, saying that
south Portland is an unusually con
Crested neighborhood, with a com
munity house frequented by hundreds
of children daily, directly across the
street from the hospital, and a large
public school barely two blocks dis
tant from the proposed location of the
smallpox wards.
Mayor Resents Abow.
When Mrs. William Beier attempted
to reiterate some of the sentiments
expressed by Mr. Rosenstein. by say
ing that the only thing the city coun
cil tried to do was to injure south
Portland property, she precipitated a
clash with Mayor Baker.
"I don't like your attitude." said
the mayor. "What has this council
done to hurt your property? Has
your property been injured by the
construction of Terwllliger boulevard,
or by the building of bridges over
the gulches? Has it been injured by
the .spending of $100,000 in a play
ground or by the cleaning out of the
gulches? Tou people will find this
council willing to do its best for
you. but you cannot gain anything by
abusing your representatives."
Spread of TMpea.e Fearrd.
Mayor Baker explained that effort
had been made for six weeks to locate
a suitable place for a smallpox hos
pital. The disease, he maintained was
existing in many of the hotels.
lodging houses and apartment houses
and although mild in the majority of
cases, he predicted that unless the
city could corral the disease and put
an end to Its spread, it would find
Its way Into every home in the city.
Suggestion has been made to move
the Immates of the Cedars near
Troutdale to either the temporary
barracks in south Portland or to some
other location and use the buildings
at the Cedars as an isolation hospital.
It Is possible that an arrangement of
this kind will be the final solution
of the hospital problem, as it has been
argued that these buildings are far
removed from any other buildings,
making it a safe place in which to
house the smallpox patients.
Mann Favors Using Barracks.
City Commissioner Mann, in charae
of the health bureau, announced last
night that he favored the use of the
south Portland barracks as a tempo
rary isolation hospital.
His reason for insisting upon the
use of these buildings, he said, was
necause it would cost the city a huge
sum to remove inmates of the Cedars
to a new location, as had been sug
gested and that it would be virtuallv
impracticable to care for the girls of
tne cedars In any building . located
witnm the city limits.
INDIAN TAX IS OPPOSED

LEWISTOX. Idaho, Uec. 26. (Spe
Cial In resP0:lse t a letter sent by
the Lewiston Commercial club asking
Representative Burton L. French to
support the movement for taxation of
Indian lands on the Nes Perce reser
vation, after the 25-year trust period

follows:
"In re,ply to your communication in
the matter of working out legislation
under which all Indian lands, whether
held by the government in trust for
the Indians or patented in fee shall
be taxed. I have taken the matter up
with the Indian office, going over the
, matter personally and also submitting
at the request of the office a letter
covering the subject. I do not have
a written reply, but the Indian office
is antagonistic to the whole pro
gramme. I cited the case of the law
touching the Omaha Indians, and am
advised that the law worked wretch
edly; that It has been quite impossi

dians; that many of the Indians do

that were embodied in the law to
which you referred."

letter that he is taking the matter

who are interested in the same prob

them to work out a plan which may

FISHING CURB IS FAVORED :
TAKING OF SALMON AT SEA
MAY BE BARBED.
State Game Commission and Gov
ernment May Co-Operate to
Protect Fish.
Complete willingness to co-operate
with the federal government in the
protection of salmon on the feeding
grounds off the mouth of the Colum
bia river and to take steps toward
legislation against the practice of
netting and trolling within and
beyond the three-mile limit is voiced
by the state game and fish commis
sion. In the current annual report of the
commissioner of fisheries to the sec
retary of commerce complaint is made
of "the taking of. salmon by lines
and nets at sea on the feeding
grounds of the schools under condi
tions that necessarily involve the de
struction of large numbers of imma
ture salmon." The report further
threatens that if it is found that
states concerned in the matter are
not prepared to take steps toward
proper protection the bureau may
discontinue its hatchery work in the
offending districts.
"We are quite ready to aid in the
matter," said F. M. Brown, secretary
of the state fish and game commis
sion, "but our hands are tied at pres
ent. The best thstt we can do is to
arrest violators'of the closed season.
Recent arrests on this charge s-t
Astoria have resulted In decisions for
the state in justice and circuit courts,
and the cases have been appealed to
the supreme court.
"During the open season, however,
there is nothing we can do. The situ
ation at the mouth of Che Columbia
is unique. A practicable law would
have to bo enacted by both Oregon
and Washington and be concurred in
by congress to effect a remedy. The
practice of trolling and netting sal
mon at sea on the feeding grounds
of the schools is one that we would
like to see stopped, and that we have
repeatedly taken up with the bureau
of fisheries."

Employment of I. W. W. and Fail
ure to Meet Share of Responsi
bilities Are Charged.
BOISE. Idaho, Dec. 26. (Special.)
The year just closing was one of the
most disastrous in the history of the
state in the point of fires, due to the
fact that private corporations owning
timber failed to assume helr respon
sibilities in connection with fire
fighting affd because they engaged
inefficient workmen, in I. W. W. and
others. This is the charge of State
Land Commissioner Nash.
"The actual destruction of timber
this year was great. Lack of fi
nances has hindered the state work,
while failure of private corporations
to burn their slashings and failure
to shoulder their financial responsi
bilities put the whole burden of pro
tection of the forests on the state
and the protective fire associations.
"The state has already refused to
pay some of the fire claims submit
ted and has instituted an investiga
tion to ascertain what portion of the
expense involved should be carried by
private corporations.
"The Pend Oreille association spent
6116.000 for fire fighting In 1919.
There were 81 fires in forests under
its jurisdiction and the damage dons
