WIDE AUTHORITY ASKED Formation of Conservation Board Advocated in Biennial Re port to Governor. SEATTLE, Wash, Feb. 22. (Spe elaL) In a comprehensive review of the intensive fishing operations of the last six years, which have resulted in great depletion of the salmon fish eries of the state of Washington common with those of the rest of the north Pacific coast. State Fish Com missioner Darwin in his biennial re port to Governor Hart for the two Tear period ending March 31, 1919, gives it as his opinion that the salmo fishing: can best be restored and pre served by the creation by the legis lature of a fisheries or conservation commission patterned after the public eervlce commission and empowered to regulate fishery operations to the extent of saying how, when and where they may be carried on and witn am pie authority to enforce such regula lions. This commission should take the place of a fish commissioner, for the power to be delegated by the leglsia ture should be to three or more men rather than to a single individual. It can be elective or appointive, says the report, and should be apart from politics and partisanship: free to act solely for the best interests of the state in rehabilitating and perpetu ating a great natural resource now approaching destruction. This destruction. Commissioner Dar win points out. is dictated by selfish ness and is in large part being ac romplished by persons who are not citlxens of the Lnltea states, aiany of them fish all up and down the Pacific coast and only maintain nominal residence in this state be cause our fishery laws only permit the issuance of licenses to residents of Washington. Advantages Are Outlined. Among the manifold advantages a commission so empowered wouia pos sess would be its ability almost in stantly to enter into an arrangement with the Canadian government for identical fishery regulations on our northern boundary and with the state f Orairnn on the southern boundary. This commission could settle the aockeye fishery question directly witn the Canadian government without the necessity of an international treaty, such as has been attempted to be negotiated ror me iai i" j . but without success up to this time. While these negotiations have been proceeding, the report points out. the aockeye salmon run has been almost entirely depleted. The great decline in our salmon runs now apparent, says the report, was clearly foreseen by the fisheries . department, and in this connection at tention is called to the efforts of the commissioner to have the last legis lature pass laws for more effective protection and permit the greater propagation efforts. Its failure to do this makes the problem at this time more difficult and renders necessary more drastic steps because of the two years of intensive fishing which will i.avc intervened before the next legis lature can act. Paget Sonad Suffers Most. To date the fisheries of Pugct sound have suffered the greatest depletion the sockeve run having been almos annihilated. The silverside and chum or dog salmon, runs have also been reduced, but not to the extent of the sockeye. With the virtual destruction of the sockeye run, the report points out. it is certain the fishermen will redouble their efforts against the next most valuable species the humpback and this run is certain to be greatly depleted within the next few years. To date the Columbia river. Grays harbor and Willapa harbor districts have not suffered to the extent of I'uget sound, largely because of the greatly increased hatchery or propa gation work which has been carried on within their confines. But, in the opinion of the fish commissioner, these runs are due to show a decline in the immediately succeeding years because of the intensive fishing now being carried on In them and particu larly because of the taking of im mature salmon. Commissioner Darwin renews his recommendation that the right of fishing be confined to American citi zens and points to the fact that dur ing the war he refused to issue li censes to enemy aliens until ordered to do so by the state supreme court. These aliens, it is pointed out, are the ones mainly responsible for the increase in the price of fish during the war. They were banded together in an organisation to which no Ameri can-born citizen could gain admit tance and. taking by far the larger number of fish, were able to force the increases in the price of salmon to in somi instances as high as 2000 per ecu lain Korell of the Portland American Legion post, while the opening prayer was given by Dr. K. H. Pence, pastor of Westminster Presbyterian church, Miss Lucile Lloyd gave a reading, "France in Battle Flame," and Dr. Stuart McGuire sang. "The Americans Come." The audience stood as they joined in singing the "Star Spangled Banner." The benediction was pronounced by Rev. Edwin V. O'Hara. An organ solo was given by Professor F. A. Douglass. Uniformed members of the Red Cross canteen served as ushers, while Boy Scouts, in full uniform, delivered the French certificates from the plat form to the eager relatives. The pres entation of these certificates was not made until the programme had concluded, inasmuch as the fathers and mothers of the dead soldiers were visibly affected and did not want to stand the strain of receiving the parchments in full view of the as sembled audience. E JUROR SITS CENTRALIA MCKDER TRIAL TO BE RESUMED TUESDAY. Recovery of 111 Juror Is Sot Ex pected Before Ten Days; De lay Is Held Unfair. MONTESANO. Wash.. Feb. 22. One of two alternates will be made a per manent member of the jury when court reconvenes here Tuesday in the trial of 10 alleged L W. W. charged with the murder of Warren O. Grimm, Centralia Armistice day parade victim Decision to use one of the two alter nates was reached today by Judge Wilson when he was Informed by Dr. H. Fits, county health officer, that Edward Parr, ill with influenza, would not be in condition to sit in the court room for another ten days. Parr, who was taken ill last Thurs day and whose illness caused the trial to be temporarily halted, Friday and Saturday, was reported easier today. although his temperature still was re ported high. The jury was removed from its quarters in the courthouse last Saturday to more commodious quarters in the city hall.

Dr. Fits told Jude-A Wilson, accord ing to the jurist, that it would be im- ent- Mlss Hulda Anderson, LaGrande: possible for Parr to continue jury duty until he has recovered, and that at least ten days will be necessary for his recovery. It would be unfair. udge Wilson said, to delay the trial that length of time. The two alternates, one of whom will now occupy the seat to be va cated by Parr, are James A. Ball, a blacksmith of Montesano. and E. P. Johnson, a cigar dealer of Hoquiam. Judge Wilson said today that he would have taken this action Satur day had he known definitely that such time for Parr's recovery would be required. Dr. Fitx informed Judge Wilson that he would not permit Parr's re moval from his present quarters in the city hall and it is thought prob- ble that the jury will be moved back to its permanent quarters in the courthouse Tuesday after one of the lternates has been selected to sit in the box permanently. .Selection of alternate is by lot. the wo names being placed in a box and the first name drawn being chosen. immediately after Parr is excused from jury duty on Tuesday and an lternate is chosen to sit In his place. the defense is expected to resume its case.

"W'heu the gates of eternal liberty opened to receive our comrades flushed with victory, theirs was not the real sacrifice, but rather the real isation of man's loftiest ambition, the giving of life that others might live. But it was you wives, mothers, fathers and children, sisters and brothers who made the real sacri fice; for you remain aching hearts and long, empty years, to you we mould extend all that condolence, all that sympathy and all the tenderness of the human heart, knowing full well that it is but a poor substitute for that which you have lost. But we should not grieve nor mourn, but rather we should be baptised anew with the spirit of their example, and here today with their spirits hovering over us we should reconsecrate and rededicate our lives to carry on. so that it shall be recorded in the per petuation of our Institutions of free dom and liberty, that their sacrifice was not In vain."

Payments Xo- Delinquent Must Be Made Before March 16; 10, 000 Acres Are Involved. YAKIMA. Wash., Feb. 22. (Spe cial.) More than 10,000 acres of highly improved farm land in the Sunnyside district will be lost to owners unless before March 18 they pay delinquent assessments now amounting to 12.9 cents per acre, ac cording to George E. Rodman, sec retary ot the bunnyside irrigation district. Mr. Rodman says that every effort is being made to give personal notice to owners of this land in time to enable them to preserve their titles. In most cases delay in payments have been found due to carelessness. Under the first assessment of 10 cents an acre made by the irrigation district in 1917, 40.000 acres became delinquent in the fall of that year, and certificates of delinquency were Issued in March, 1918. Under the law the holders of these certificates may foreclose their claims and take title to the land two years after issuance of the certificates. The two years will be up on March 16. A remarkable fact is that during the three years when irrigation as sessments have become delinquent the farmers have been most prosperous.

In his pastoral letter read today in all Catholic churches in the archdiocese of Cashel, Archbishop Harty says: "We are living under a government which has "proved itself an abject failure. Neither based on the consent of the nation, nor working for the good of the community as a whole, it has trampled on the will of the people and upheld the ascendancy of the pampered minority. History tells us that where such a system reigns the laws of God are set aside, coercion and crime go hand in hand and peace ful citizens are made the victims ofj the vicious circle. The remedy for the Irish upheaval is obvious, since freedom is the best solvent of politi cal disorder. The traditional loyalty of the Irish people to the laws of God will prevail in the full when the days of oppression have passed away forever and when our people have in their own hands the making of the administration of their own laws."
