Fishermen in Oregon must be Ameri

whatever action may be taken by the
legislature of "Washington. American
ization of the fisheries of Washington
has been practically abandoned by the
lawmakers now !a session at Olympian
owing to tne pressure of the lobby of
alien fishermen.
Under the law enacted at Salem a few
weeks ago, the fishing industry in Ore
gon will be Americanized within two
years. The effect on the fishermen along
the lower Columbia will be drastic, as
it is said that 70 per cent of those en
gaged in catching salmon are aliens.
Those fishermen who made declara
tion to become citizens prior to January
1, 1919, have until January 1, 1921 to
take out their final papers and become
citizens. There are fishermen who
made their declaration many years ago,
but unless further steps are taken, a
declaration of intention loses Its force
after seven years.

manager of the Metropolitan Building
company of that city, in an address
delivered Tuesday evenire at the an
nual meeting of the Portland Associa
tion of Kuilding Owners and Managers
in the Benson hotel. Major Douglas'
subject was: "Portland's Business Prop
erty Future as Seen by a Seattle Man.
One of the first things for a prop
erty owner to do in considering an im
provement for his property is to de
termine something about the lines of
growth of the city and to determine
the type of building that is best suited
to the particular site." said Major
Douglas. "It takes a great deal more
than an architect to make a wise de
cision in this matter. It takes more
tnan tne stereotyped real estate man
who simply buys and sells properties.
In order to make a proper decision as
to the proper type of building for the
particular location, you should have
someone pass upon it who knows the
history of city development and who
can make a decision that will square
with past experience.
"A few years ago we heard a great
deal about confidence in business.
Every little while we would hear that
such and such a measure would de
stroy confidence and thus wreck the
whole business fabric. We don't hear
so much about confidence nowadays,
