Ed Rosenberg, secretary of the United
Fishermen of the Pacific, of Astoria,
strongly protests in behalf of his asso
ciation against flshwheels and traps In
those waters which should be common
fishing grounds, but which, because oc
cupied by stationary gear, cannot be
fished by drifting with nets. He also sets
forth the evil results to the fisheries of
the state because of the operations of
traps and wheels In unlawful territory.
Mr. Rosenberg said:
"In your issue of August 21 you printed
an interview with me in which I briefly
outlined the policy of the fishermen of
this coast for the protection of the salmon
fisheries. In this interview the abuses of
the flshwheels and fishtraps axe strongly
condemned. I am quoted as follows:
The traps and flshwheels in the upper
branches of our rivers are especially de
structive to the salmon industry, and if
the fishing in the Columbia River is to
be saved this apparatus In the upper
river must be abolished. 'With the view
of having these contrivances abolished,
the United Fishermen of the Pacific are
taking a determined stand and proposes
to expose through the dally press and
otherwise the destructive methods of
flshwheels and fishtraps, but in fighting
these traps the fishermen only intend to
devote their attention to those that oc
cupy locations in violation of law; that is,
where they occupy common fishing
grounds and wantonly destroy pur fish
eries.' "With somewhat of a surprise I there
fore read in The Oregonian of August 22
the following editorial paragraph: 'The
gillnetters and the seine fishermen have
no objections to the fishtraps as long as
they (the fishtraps) do not get in 'their
way. But they add the proviso that the
traps are always in the way. They prob
. ably will be, so long as the sole occupa
tion of the fishermen and traps is to
catch fish where they are to be found.'
"As I believe the right solution of this
question is of great importance, and also
believe that The Oregonian will be found
on the side of the fishermen in their just
fight for the preservation of the great
salmon industry, I ask for space for this
communication.
Union Protects Industry.
"Section 2 of the constitution of the
United Fishermen of the Pacific reads:
'The objects of the United Fishermen of
the Pacific are to obtain fair and just
remuneration for the labor of its mem
bers: to work for the enactment of laws
which will give protection to its members
and insure the continuance of the fishery
industry, now seriously threatened every
where on the Pacific through overfishing,
through lack of effective and properly
regulated and enforced closing seasons,
and for want of sufficient hatcheries; to
secure legislation against fishtraps where
such traps are detrimental to the indus
try and dangerous to the lives and prop
erty of driftnet fishermen, and where
they occupy ground which should be for
the common use of all fishermen.'
"And to the best of our ability we shall
try to live up to our declared intentions.
We will continue to appeal to the Fed
eral Government against stationary gear
where It prevents the navigation of our
boats; we will continue to ask the courts
to decide whether certain traps are pre
venting fishermen from drifting on
ground that should be common to all; we
will urge upon the legislatures to stop
fishing above tidewater and to provide
that traps and seines shall have meshes
larpe enough to permit smal fish to es
cape; we will plead for more hatcheries.
"The decline of our fisheries is noted by
all who have given attention to them.
Excerpts from the report of the special
commission sent by President Roosevelt
in 1903 to Alaska to investigate the sal
mon fisheries of the north show the
abuses of the traps. -The commission con
sisted of Dr. David Starr Jordan, presi
dent of Stanford University, who is re
garded as the leading authority in this
country on the food fishes of our waters:
Dr. Barton Warren Everman, and the
. leading fishery experts of the United
States bureau of Fisheries. The United
States steamer Albatross was placed at
the disposal of the. commission and a
thorough Investigation made. The report
(document No. 477 of the House of Rep
resentatives. 58th Congress, second ses
sion), on the question of fishtraps says:
'An objection to them (traps) is that they
sometimes take more fish than the can
neries can use.' ...
Stops Ascent of Salmon.
" 'When placed in the mouth of a stream
a trap may be very objectionable, as it
continually prevents the ascent of salmon
to the spawning grounds." . . .
" "There were in operation this year in
Chlgnlk Bay and lagoon 29 traps, so lo
cated as practically to close the channel.
The traps in Wood River were so placed
as practically to close that stream. This
condition Is manifestly not to the best
Interests of these fisheries, and should
not be continued. ...
" 'It would doubtless be ietter If all
traps, whether fixed or floating, were al
together excluded from salmon waters,
but such exclusion would render fishing
in some places almost impossible, or at
least unprofitable.' . . .
"It Is now evident that this Industry can
be maintained only by the artificial hatch
ing each year of fry in sufficient numbers
to make good those annually used in tho
fisheries and otherwise destroyed. To kill
fish by wholesale without provisions for
replenishing the stock is not an industry.
There is no reason why the number of
salmon taken in Alaska may not be as
great 20 or 50 years hence as now. . . .
"The recommendations of the present
commission are on the basis of maintain
ing a continuous industry. The Govern
ment "should not permit private citizens
or corporations to destroy future indus
tries for the sake or present gains. . .
"It is evident to any one acquainted with
the conditions in Bristol Bay that the op
eration of traps Is In no wise essential to
the profitable continuance of the indus
try. ...
Traps Take All Fish.
"The gillnets In use for red salmon have
almost universally a mesh of 6"4 inches.
This permits the escape of the small fish!
and as a very large proportion of the
small Individuals of a run are females,
the latter, by the glllnet method, are per
mitted to reach the spawning grounds in
relatively large numbers. Traps, how
ever, take all the fish that come to them
It Is well known that trap fish are much
smaller than gillnel fish. Twelve and a
half or 13 of the glllnet fish make a case
of canned salmon, while It may require
as high as 20 and more trap fish to produce
the same amount of merchantable fish.

The traps are therefore wasteful, as they
take the fish of the least value commer
cially and the highest value for purposes
of propagation. This source of waste.
while important, is probably outweighed
by the results of wasteful methods of op
eration, from which the use of traps can
not be efficiently guarded. This subject
must be reserved for a more detailed re
port " 'Considered from the standpoint of
mere conservation of the fisheries, there
can be no question that the taking of fish
by gillnets in Bristol Bay should be pre
ferred, and the use of traps and other
fixed contrivances should be prohibited.
" 'A wise administration of the fisheries
will permit the taking of the largest num
ber of fish compatible with the mainte
nance of the supply, and will permit their
capture by the cheapest method which is
not wasteful. ....
" 'It would be well, for reasons already
stated, that the use of traps Or other
fixed appliances for the capture of salmon
should be prohibited in the Bristol Bay
region " 'The recent history of traps In this
district has shown a constant movement
out of the estuaries into the upper river,
nearer and nearer to the Immediate
spawning grounds of the salmon. . . .
" 'Bad as are the present conditions,
there are reasons for believing they will
grow rapidly worse. Such cannery super
intendents even as most heartily depre
cate the folly of the present system find
themselves compelled by fierce competi
tion to permit no advantage, however
slight, to their competitors. . . .
Traps Should Be Torn Out.
"The problem of the use of traps In the
large streams and their estuaries is a
most difficult one. If we are to consider
the ultimate Interests of Alaska and the
permanence of our salmon fisheries, no
trap should be allowed anywhere. They
are most harmful where most successful,
especially In the flowing streams.'
"And the same conditions, only more
aggravated, exist on the Columbia River;
still, we only ask that the traps where
the courts decide are illegal shall go and
the spawning grounds be protected.
"As early as December 18, 1S9S. John
McNab, Inspector of Fisheries of British
Columbia, In writing from Westminster,
B. C, to the secretary of the -Columbia
River Fishermen's Protective Union,
says:
" 'Dear Sir: Captain Gaudln, agent of
the Marine Department of Victoria, B. C,
enclosed to me a letter from you, asking
for information on certain points In con
nection with the fisheries regulations of
Canada, at present enforced in British
Columbia. Your first question Is: What
is the reason for prohibiting fishing above
tidewater? Our government considers that
the Inland and other fisheries are a val
uable asRet of the country, and that they
should be so protected as to be as val
uable to the next generation as to the
present, and to this end the upper reaches
of the rivers are not allowed to be fished:
the salmon are out of condition and full
of ova, which they should be allowed to
plant undisturbed in the creeks where
they spawn, as otherwise the excessive
amount of fishing in the estuaries and
lower reaches of the river must in time
deplete them of salmon.
" 'Your second question Is, Why does the
law prohibit fishing for salmon with traps
and wheels? Because they are so de
structive to young or immature fish, and
also to varieties of fish which are val
uable but are not to any great extent
utilized by the canneries or salmon fish
ermen, and are thus a very destructive
agency, and they are certainly not favor
able to the Interests of individual fisher
men." Experts Condemn Traps.
"Thus fishery experts of the United
States and Canada point out the abuses
of trap fishing, abuses which led George
M. Mowers, United States Commissioner
of Fisheries, in his report to Congress
for 1906, to say. referring to lack of pro
tective legislation In Washington and
Oregon: 'It Is respectfully recom
mended that consideration ba accorded
the proposition to discontinue all Gov
ernment fishery work in those states that
exhibit no healthy sentiment In favor of
the preservation of their supply of game
and food fishes. Congress being asked
such authority if necessary.'
"And it is fully realized by all who have
the interests of the salmon industry at
T 11 WICE each year the force of salesmen who sell Diamond Brand shoes all over the United States gather in St. Louis
at the'headquarten of the Peters Shoe Co. to spend a week in the - factories and familiarize themselves with the new
;M features of each succeeding season.. These gatherings have been going on for six years and are typical of newer
methods that are being adopted by the great commercial institutions of the country. During "convention week" the members
of the selling force go through a careful course of instruction and are thoroughly schooled in every detail. Sessions of the
" convention " consume evenings as well as daylight hours and the week is a strenuous one with little opportunity for recreation.
The main feature of entertainment last week (which was convention week with the Peters Shoe Co. 's salesmen) was an automobile
parade through the business section of St. Louis, the park and boulevard system and along the magnificent residence streets in
the beauty of which St. Louis is said to excel every other American city. At the end of the week a banquet at the Mercantile
Club was tendered the members of the selling force, who afterwards left St. Louis with new lines of goods for the Spring season.
heart, that hatcheries are absolutely ne
cessary if the Industry is to continue.
"The trouble for years has been and
still is that aH kinds of gear have not
been sufficiently restricted, driftnet fish
ermen and owners of stationary . gear
were allowed to catch fish 'where they
were to be found." irrespective of the ne
cessary supply of fish for spawning pur
poses. The driftnet fishermen are ready
to support any measure abolishing evils
when it is shown where their or other
methods of fishing are destructive to the
industry.
"The fishermen insist and will Insist
that the flshwheels and all fishing for
commercial purposes In the upper reaches
of the Columbia River shall be abolished,
not only because this fishing absolutely
prevents fish from reaching the greatest
area of spawning grounds, but also be
cause in these canneries It is of common
report that fish are caught and canned
that are unfit for food. The fish caught
in the lower river are fresh and whole
some, and the canning process is clean
and up to date. But no process of can
ning can make fish 'out of condition and
full of ova' fit for food.
Chance for Muckrake.
"With the public becoming more and
more interested in what it consumes as
food. It would not be surprising if some
one of the Upton Sinclair type will pub
lish to the world what kind of fish
are caught In the flshwheels, traps and
seines of the upper Columbia aqd canned;
Then the entire salmon Industry of our
coast will be injured, though the up
river canneries at present put up but a
very small per cent of the salmon pack
of the coast.
"Mr. Hume, who controls the salmon
fishing on the Rogue River, and who
conducts there a hatchery, has small
meshes in the wings of his seines hut
large meshes in . the pot and. besides,
time Is given to the small fish to escape.
This wise provision Is steadily increas
ing the salmon supply of that river.
Trapmen and seiners on the Columbia
have always contended that a six-inch
stretch measure mesh would drive them
out of business, so the law now stands
that the meshes in this gear must not
be less than three inches' stretch meas
ure. Salmon and other fish 12 Inches
long and even less are retained in this
gear. The young salmon are sold for
salmon trout and other fish, mostly dead
because unable to stem the swift tide
for 24 hours, the usual Interval between
the , lifting of the pots, of traps. are
thrown away. Gillnets on the Columbia
River have meshes from 6 to 10 Inches
stretch measure. Further comment Is
unnecessary."
PORTLAND PRIEST IN ROME
Father Cestelll Received In Private
Audience by the Pope.
Rev. Alexander Cestelli, former parish
priest. of St. Michael's Catholic Church,
who was recently appointed chaplain of
St. Vincent's Hospital, is now visiting in
Italy. He left Portland June 23. The fol
lowing from a letter writter under date
of Agut 8 from Sansepolcro, Italy, to
Albert B. Ferrera. of this city, will bo
of interest to Rev. Father Cestelli's
friends in Portland:
My trip from Portland to New York wa
very enjoyable, but without Incident. From
New York to Naples It was fairly rood,
having had only three days of wind, but
no storm. At Naples I remained four days,
during which time I visited Vesuvius. Pom
pel and other places of Interest. Next I
visited Rome, where I found many old
friends, who treated me fine; the Pope re
ceived me in most private audience and
treated me most kindly; with htm I re
mained talone) over 25 minutes.
I went to Sangemini to find your friend
Enrico Mattina, I am unable to express In
words the many courtesies shown me by
them. I also met Enrico's aged father,
who left the following day for Leghorn. I
was their guest for two days and Enrico
accompanied me In his carriage to the sta
tion at Narnl. They appeared to have fal
len in love with my gray hair or with my
bald head, they were so kind and attentive.
I am now with my brother, who with a
large number of old friends are doing their
utmost to make my vacation pleasant.
Iater I will make a trip around Italy, and
shall visit the principal dries, including
Milan and Venice, and then I will visit
Vienna, Berlin, Lieges, Brussels. Paris and
Havre and from there I will sail for New
York. 1 have been well since I left Port
land and am now enjoying the best of
health.

Whenever a sore or ulcer is slow in healing, and shows sign3 of eatingf
into the surrounding flesh, it is safe to say that theblood is infected with
cancerous germs. Some old taint or poison that has lain dormant awaiting
a favorable opportunity to assert itself has found an outlet on the face, arms,
legs or other part of the body, and the place has become inflamed and
festered, and a chronic ulcer is the result. When middle age is reached or
passed, and the vital powers are naturally weaker, a hurt of any kind heals
slowly, and often an insignificant scratch or bruise on warty growths,
moles, pimples, etc., will begin to inflame and are soon large, eating ulcers.
The cancerous germs are rooted in the blood, and while salves, plasters,
lotions, etc., keep the surface clean, they are useless in affecting a cure. S.S.S.
cures cancerous ulcers by goirig down into the blood and removing the germs
and poisons which produce the trouble. It cleanses the circulation of all
unhealthy matter, and when the canse is removed the sore heals permanently.
S. S. S. enriches and strengthens the entire blood-supply, and being purely
vegetable, it is a pleasant, safe remedy for young or old, and ulcers of every
kind yield promptly to its curative properties. Book on sores and ulcers and

Trust Busting.
Philadelphia Bulletin.
They've baled the beef trust Into court,.
But the price remains the same.
Forbade the flour trust to extort.
But the price remains the same. '
They've roundly dressed the oil -trust down.
And done the woollen trust up brown.
But still in country and in town
The price remains the same.
Insurance folks have been raked o'er,
But the price remains the same;
Been told to go and sin no more.
And the price remains the same. .
They gave the salt trust stern advice.
Likewise the trust that sells the Ice;
But how about the lovely price? r
Oh. that remains the same!
