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.
