To The Honorable Board of Fish Commissioners, Salem, Oregon, Aug. 9tu, 1907. Gentlemen: Arrests and Prosecutions during the month for violation of the laws pertaining to the fishing Industry have been as follows: District No. 1. By Deputy Warden "Brown" and "Water Bailiff "Settem" In Launch "Oregon Patrol." July 1, 19 07, HJalmar Johnson of Altoona, Washington, was arrested for fishing with o gill net In the Columbia river without properly numbering his boat or net, and upon being arraigned in tho Justice Court, Astoria, was fined flO.OO and costs which he paid. , July 15, 1907, Complaints were filed in the Justice Court, Astoria, against Thomas Spencer, for fishing with a seine on the Spencer Seining grounds; Frank Pearson, for fishing with a seine on the Nora Fltzpatrlck Seining grounds; Harry Spencer, for fishing with a seine on the Kaboth Seining grounds; and Thomas Taylor, for flrhing with a seine on the Taylor and Welch Tongue Point Seining grounds; all of which were found Ashing without licenses. Upon being arraigned In said court July 19th, lileas of guilty were entered, where upon a fine of ?50.00 and costs was imposed and paid in each case. July 20th complaints were filed In the Justice Court, Astoria, against Christ Nielsen and John Gunderson, who were found operating Purse Nots In the waters of the Columbia Itiver, which was in violation of chap ter 89, General Laws of Oregon, 1907. The case against Nielsen was "heard before Justice Goodman, July 2, who found the defendant guilty 3rd, a plea of guilty was entered, whereupon ho was fined $G0 and costs which he paid. A set-net found in a condition to take salmbn within tho GOO foot limit of the Fish Way provided for the Light & Water Company's Dam at Grants Pass was seized and confis cated. Hntchcrjr Operations. Tho work on tho Clackamas River below tho Cazadero Dam we have well in hand and have everything ready for tho taking of spawn. A few mature Balmon have been caught FISH HATCHERY 2 r and spawn taken therefrom, but tho greater portion of tho fish will not bo ready for spawning for another couple weeks. We are equipped to take and eye four million eggs, and from a careful estimate of tho num ber of Balmon that we have in be tween the Racks wo should get fully that many eggs. If, when wo get to handling tho salmon, we find more than what we have estimated, the government people will be asked to asslut in taking care of them. So far, the salmon have stood their confine ment as well as at any of our Colum bia river stations, where the early fish have been retained, and it looks as though we would get a good lot of eggs from them. The new hatchery building for the McKenzle river was completed by the contractor and accepted by Superin tendent W. A. Smith, June 29. It ij a one story structure, 109 feet long by 55 feet 4 inches wide, with a 10 foot celling In the clear, net on con-c-i.o ple.'t-, and has a cupacly for 1(J8 Latching troughs, each 15 feet S inihes long. We have been delayed fDinewhat in getting our equipment i lto the building on account of our hot being able to get lomber for the 31ml Imnnsfirl a fine of S50.00 and costs. An appeal was immediately umo to carry a supply of water to taken to the Circuit Court by G. C Fulton, attorney for the defendant, and the case was again heard before Judge McBrlde, of the Circuit Court, July 26, and the judgment of the lower court was affirmed. The prose cution, which was taken care of by Attorney-General A. M. Crawford, assisted by Deputy District Attornoy John C. McCue of Clotsop County, contended that the state of Oregon had the right to enforce Its laws over tho entire Columbia river, without re gord to what tho laws of Washington aro, while the defense claimed that the Oregon law prohibited Purse Nets was In direct conflict with the Washington law licensing them and was therefore void. Judge McBride in rendering his decision stated that tho Federal Courts had made two de cisions on the matter, and while he did not agree with those decisions, ho would, out of deference to the Fed oral Court, concur with them and dis charge the defendant, except for the purpose of taking the matter to tho higher courts; and as tho stato could not appeal, he would confirm the de cision of the justice court on condi tion that the defendant bo permitted to continue fishing until tho case had Leon finally determined. An appeal was again taken from tnis decision by Attorney Fulton and tho case will bo taken up beforo tho stato supreme court, and an effort set forth by all parties concerned, to have It set for hearing at an early dote. The case against Gunderson will bo held In abeyance, pending a filial decision In the Nlelson case. By Wat it IJullllV W. A. Muck. -In regard to the threo market inon of Portlnnd that weroarrestodby Water Bailiff W. A. Mack, as report ed under date of May 17th, S. A. Conrad appeared before Justiso Reld for tho Pcoplo's Market, No. 295 North Sixteenth Street, May 23, and upon entering a plea of guilty was fined $50; and Juhns Bros., No, Gl North Park Street appeared July 3 and entered a plea of guilty, where upon they wore also fined ?50; all of which was paid. Tho case agaiust John Abrons of Milwaukee, for not properly number ing his fishing net, was called up bo foro Justlco Held of Portland, June 28, and upon his entering a plea of guilty a fine of $10 was Imposed, which ho pnld the building, but it appears now as if we will be ready to handle the sea Lon's take of eggs; if not, we will eye the eggs out in the open troughs as we did the last two years and move Mipm Into the building before they begin to hatch. In a late report re ceived from Superintendent Smith, he states that he only has one more load of lumber to ham, and that he Is now gfttlng along rapidly with the coi'Ptruction of his flume and thinks tluit he will be ready with It bef :o tho salmon begin to spawn. At the SIslau station wo have also been considerably delayed in our con struction work on account of not be ing able to get lumber. The work there Is being done by days' work by Superintendent Joseph Slemmons who reports that his lumber is now coming along In good order and that ho has his building all framed and raised and will without doubt, have it fully equipped before the egg taking season. Tho building that wo are erecting Is a one-story struc ture, 10G feet long by 40 feet wide, with a 10 foot celling In the clear, and has a capacity sufficient for 100 hatching troughs, each 17 feet 10 in ches long. I am taking up new work on the Alaea river and on the Coqullle river, and am in hopes of being able to have a fitly equipped experimental station on each stream this year where a sup ply of eggs can be collected. In tho past, the eggs collected at the South Coos River,, Hatchery have been di vided with the Coqullle and tho eggs collected at tho Yaquina Hatchery have been divided with Alsea, but this year I will endeavor to have a station on each of theso streams where a collection of egga can be made from tho salmon native thereto.
