OREGON PERMITS VALID License Foes Are Provided for 1-Xcrj Sort or Equipment to Be ITsed on State's Waters. OLYJiriA. Wash.. Feb. 18. (Spe cial.) In line with the recommenda tion contained in Governor Hart's message to the legislature advocating a material increase in the tax on fish, payable at its source, the senate com mittee on rishenes toaay lntrouuceu a revenue measure based upon the fishinir industry. The measure rol lows the programme agreed upon at the recent conference of the. fisheries committees of the Oregon and asn ' incton legislature. Under provisions of the bill an excise catch tax is levied upon all species of fish, includ ing food, shell and fertilizer fish, coi lectible from the canneries, whole salers. paVkers. freezers or curers. The measure provides for the col lection of a catch tax on fish taken as follows: For each Chinook taken in the Columbia river district be tween January 1 and August 26, 11 rents, from August 27 to December 31. SVj cents. For each chinook taken in I'uset sound. Grays harbor or Willapa harbor. 7 Vi cents; do or chum sal mon, 4-."i cents; humpback, cent; silver salmon. Hi cents; sockeye. i cents; steelheads. 4 1-3 cents. For smelts in the Columbia river districts, 34 cents 1U0 pounds; for Tuget sound, li cents 100 pounds; for sturgeons in the Columbia river district, 17 cents each. Bond la Required. Wholesalers, tanners and other buyers are required to execute a Lond with the director of fisheries to make correct return of their pur chases and for the payment of the catch tax. The bill provides that on the Co lumbia river where it forms the boundary between Washington and nregoir, a flfhorman licensed under the law of Washington may dispose of his catch to a person, firm or cor poration other than those licensed to fuy fish under the laws of Wash iiiKton. provided he reports the nuni ler of fish, with the species stated separately, so disposed of and imys to the treasurer of Washington the catch tax and other taxes provided under the act. I.irrnfte ft'era Are FKed. Licenses imposed under the pro posed nieiisure are as follows: For each pound net or fish trap license for taking salmon at both ends on I'ujiet sound, $li; for each pound net or fisli trap liccnso for taking salmon on I'ucet sound. $5u; lor each first-class pound net or fish trap license for taking salmon on the Columbia river, $-5; for each second elasf pound net or fish trap on Co lumbia river. $15. A first-class trap is defined to one in which the catch for the previous year amounted to more than 1W0. and second-class where the catch amounted to lesr than Jli'UM. The license for taking salmon in pound nets or fish traps on Willapa Harbor or Grays Harbor is $15. For each brush weir license for taking smelt or herring a license of $-5 is provided; stationary fish wheels' for salmon. J35; scow fish wheels, $-5; purse seine license, J27."i0; Rill nets, the nets not to be more than 750 feet ilk length. $7.50 and one cent addi tional for each additional linear foot f net. Oregon l.icrneft Valid. The bill provides that all gill net. licenses issued by the state of Oregon shall be valid in the concurrent waters of the Columbia river in this .-tate and requires the director of fisheries of Washington to furnisK the fisheries department of Oregon with a list of all licenses issued in this state. other licenses provided are: Keef nets. each. JS; drag semes. thre cents a linear fool; set nets for sal mon. $3.75; dip bag nets for smelt. $1 honk and line licenses for commer cial purposes. $2. The bill provides that when hook and line licenses aro issued for use in, salt water or th Columbia river, it is permitted to use not more than six lines to which an attached not more than 12 hooks, al operated from a single boat or other floating appliance. Fresh water hook and line licenses permit a single hook to a single line held in the hand. Free Derision Hill Vetoed. Uovernor Hart today vetoed an other senate bill passed at the in stance of the lawyers. The bill is senate bill No. 43 and requires the i.kerk of the supreme court to furnish, free of cost a copy of the court'r decision to each of the attorneys in-' terested in the case. In returning the bill without his approval the governor said: "The apparent object of the amend ment to section 10 of the code is that each lawyer shall immediately receive a typewritten copy of the opinion of the supreme court in the case in which he is interested, .uch copies to be furnished at the expense of the slate. "The advance sheets of decisions are printed and distributed within a week or ten days from the time of filing opinions and as nearly every attorney in the state gets these ad vance sheets, the only thing to be gained by the proposed amendment in senate bill No. 43 is to get the full text of the opinion a week earlier and without expense to the lawyer. Lou ( Revenue Cited. "During the two years beginning February 15. 1919, and ending Feb ruary 15. 1921, the clerk of the su preme court paid into the state treas ury $3562.10 as proceeds for the fur nishing of typewritten copies of de cisions to attorneys, at the rate of 10 cents per folio. This revenue, equiva lent to the salary of a first-class stenographer, will be lost to the state if senate bill No. 43 becomes a law. "Perhaps a more vital point in con nertion with this act is the additional time of the court which would be taken up in quibbling over what might be termed technicalities. The law now provides that 'whenever a decision snail become final as herein provided, a judgment shall issue thereon.' I'nder senate bill Xo. 43. if permitted to become a law, 'a judg ment shall issue thereon' only upon the furnishing of copy of decision to one attorney for the appellant and to one attorney for the respondent. Conrt'a (Stability at Ktake. "It seems to me that to thus at tack the stability of the final judg ment of the highest court in the state is so unsound as to make one feel that in the enthusiasm to get free copies of the opinions, this effect upon the present statute was entirely overlooked by the legislators. To allow the final judgment of the court or last resort to be attacked on euch flimsy pretext is too unreasonable to justify serious consideration." The expected attempt to abolish the Central! Normal school material ized this afternoon when Senator Johnson of Stevens introduced a meas ure In the senate providing for the repeal of the law passed In 1919 es tablishing the institution and provid ing for its maintenance. The measure will be bitterly opposed by senators from southwestern Washington, but will have support of a number of sen ators from other sections of the state. The passage yesterday of a bill abol ishing the state nautical school at Seattle set a precedent that may op erate against the Centralia institu tion, although it Is stated that cer ain political alignments may enter into the fight in support of the school. Bill Cancel 11 II Ink t of Way. The senate this afternoon passed the bill authorizing the cancellation of rights of way over state lands for logging purposes when not used for two years. The measure providing that holders of state oil and gas land leases may pool their holdings and drill on only one tract within the re quired time was referred to the judi ciary committee. By indefinite post ponement the senate killed the bill providing that attorneys appointed by the court to defend criminal cases be paid a reasonable fee and allowed a sufficient amount to properly pre pare for the defense of the accused. Without opposition the senate passed a memorial urging construction by the government of a bridge between Wh'dby and Fidalgo Islands. Firearm Bill Postponed. The house by indefinite postpone ment disposed of the measure prohib iting aliens from possessing firearms. An effort to postpone Indefinitely the measure providing for public service commission regulation of motor vehi cle transportation, when the bill was up for second reading, failed. The senate measure reappropriating unexpended balances in the capitol building fund and for the erection of memorial to soldiers, sailors and marines of the world war was passed by the house. A resolution was passed by both houses agreeing that when adjourn ment is taken Saturday it will be un it Wednesday morning. FRESH BUTTER SHORT I IV NORTHWEST Reopening of Condenseries Causes Scarcity. THIRD ADVANCE IN PRICE PEILETI H S75.D0O HLAZK SWEKI'S COLD STOHAGE l'LAXT; MEAT IS DAMAGED. Hutter-Miikin& Machinery Suved us Well as Several Buildings in Neighborhood. PKNDLETON, Or., Feb. 18. (Spe rial.) The Smythe-Lonergan com p.iny plant, comprising an ice plant ice cream factory, creamery and cold sit rage facilities, was destroyed by fire here this morning, at a loss esti mated at $75,000. The cause of tne fire has nofbeen t'etermined, the idea being advancetl t.'iat it was started by a short circuit on a high-power line. The entire roof o; the big structure waa a mass of fiames when the fire was discovered at 5:30 o'clock. The fire department saved the plant of the Pacific Fruit & I'roduce company adjoining and as the morning was still and cold, the bltie did not jeopardize the O.-W. It. N. freight house and other build ir.ni in the vicinity. The butter-making machinery of the plant was saved, but the Ice cream plant, the ice-making machin cry and a quantity of ammonia were lost. Several tons of meat and 1 large amount of butter in cold stor age were damaged. the building and contents were well covered by insurance and, ac curding to Mr. Sinythe, work of re building the plant will start as soon o insurance adjusters have complet ed their work. The plant was one of Pendleton's o)(Kst factories. Prints Will Be Quoted Three Cents Higher in Local Market - This Morning. The nhortaro of fresh butter on the Pacific coast, particularly in the north west, Is becoming acute. Prints will be advanced 3 cents again in the local market thin morning, making a total rise of 0 cents In a week. The butter scarcity is due primarily to the resumption of canning operations by the milk condenseries, which turned their raw material Into butter during the several months that they were not con densing. Good shipments of undergrade fpom this territory, as well as the move ment of fresh butter eastward from Cali fornia, have also strengthened the butter position. It Is likely there will soon be some increase in production, but no material relief is expected before the middle of March. There was also a firmer feeling in the egg market. Improvement In the east has had a stiffening effect and orders now coming in from the Inter-mountain sections are taking care of the local sur plus. Buyers offered 27 cents delivered to country shippers and on the street there were resales at 28 and "284 cents. case count. Jobbers quoted selects at 35 cents and candled ranch at 32 cents.

Instead of improving, the hide market seems to bo getting worse. Wires from Chicago yesterday told of sales at an av erage decline of about 2 cents under the previous business done. The sales were: 5000 June-December packer native heavy cows. 55 pounds and up, at 11 cents: 20,004) November-Decem ber packer light native cows, 55 pounds nd down, at 10 cents; 0000 extreme light native steers at 10 cents: 4000 extreme ight Texas steers at 9 cents; 20,000 brand ed cows, winter stock from all points, at 0 cents, Chicaxo, freight; packer calfskins at 15 cents; Chicago cities at 13 cents. The Chicago price of branded cows at cents means about 7 cents here fur packers and about 5 cents in the blood lot the bast branded stock. The calfskin sale would indicate a price here of 11 cents for city and about 3 cents for coun try stock. The sales reported from Chicago were made by packers to their own tanneries, as the Independent tanners were not in the market for hides. At the same time notice was given of 10-cent advance in No. 1 sole leather in the east and the rise was said to have stimulated business materially, which shows that advancing and .not falling prices start business moving. The interesting information comes from Sfcattle that a packer in that city has shipped 10,000 hides to Germany, which will be made into leather there. , ORDERS FOR I'OTATOES LIGHTER hipping Demand Quiet, but Prices Are 1'nchanged.

NEW IOBK, Feb. ll The further re action of prices in the stock market was primarily due to the same adverse cir cumstances and factors which have gov erned financial operations since the be ginning of the year. Lack of buying power or public Interest, as Indicated by tne meager business reDorted by commission houses, the poor earnings of railroad and industrial corporations and the slow re vival of general business continued to militate against constructive efforts. The man.v market was easier to the ex tent that call loans dropped from 7 to 6 per cent. A fair demand was noted tor commercial paper and hank acceptances, but very little time money was obtainable except for the shorter periods. Foreien pTrhRnir was more unsettled rates on London falllnf to levels which affected the greater part of their recent gains. Rtmittanoes to the continent, without exception, also were lower, giving especial point to the British premiers plea for banking credits to central r-urope. Bears were particularly aggressive In such Issues as shippings, oils and motors at gross recession of 2 to 10 points. Little support was forthcoming, lowest prices being registered in many instances shortly .before the close. Atlantic. Gulf West Indies common was weakest of the most active issues, recovering a fraotlqn of Its extreme de cline at a net loss of 86 points. Dealings In this mock were in excess of half Its capitalization and suggested a downward revision of the dividend. Representative rails, such as Norfolk ft Western and Reading, featured the few gains, both advancing li points. Sales were SCO. 000 shares. The bond market was Irregular on re duced offerings, liberty and victory issues closed mostly at nominal gains, but other domestic issues, as well as international flotations, were Inclined to react, espe cially French municipals.

IMPBOYEMENT IN BUSINESS NOTED Trade Is 8a Id to Be Much Better Than Four Months Ago. NEW YORK, Feb. IS. Bradstreet's to morrow will say: mpatlence at the slow, in some lines Indeed, apparently painrul, progress being made in general trade and pessimistic out givings bred by further recessions in so- called barometer trades, iron, steels, coal and coke, cannot disguise the fact that while trade is a trifle less active than last week and not as good as a year ago, it is much better than it was two to four months ago. The irregularity previously noted in different lines continued, activity Is still largely confined to the appare trades, unemployment is marked in many industrial centers, wage reductions are nu merous. the general price movement In dicates that many lines still seek stabili zation and the railways report a lessened volume of business moving as compared with previous weeks and yeas. Weekly bank clearings were $6,169, 104,000. Coffee Futures Irregular. NEW YORK. Feb. 18. There was 1 sharp advance in the market for coffee futures during today's early trading, owing to reoorts that Sao Paulo had secured a loan In London and an advance in Rio exchange rates. The opening was un changed on March, but generally five to 12 points higher, and the market sold 15 to 19 points above yesterday's closing fig ures during-the middle of the day, with May selling at 7.24c, or the highest price touched' since the reaction from the Jan uary advance. There was -realizing at this level, however, and Wall street selling was more active late in the afternoon, possibly reflecting a less favorable feeling in the stock market or easier foreign exchange rates. May sold off to 7.05c. with the market closing net one point lower to two points higher. March. 6.57c; May, 7.05c; July. 7.45c; September. 7.84c; October, 7.98c; December. 8.19c.
