"tfl Commercial Street, Astoria, Or. At the application of Martin Ryan and Thomas Spencer, Judge Gray yes teeday afternoon Issued an Injunction restraining Mildred Bowman, et al, from placing set nets In front of and on plaintiff's property below the lower bridge on the Necanicum creek at Seaside, The Injunction Is returnable to the circuit court, which meets about November 1. The plaintiffs have leased all the property on both sides of the Necanicum below the lower bridge for fishing purposes and have a fish trap on one side of the. creek. The de fendants have placed set nets both above and below . the trap extending clear across the creek and attached to both banks, thus entirely shutting off the fish from plaintiffs' trap. As the Plaintiffs have the lease of the prop erty they have a legal right to for bid defendants attaching to the banks or landing to empty the net of fish. There was a strike at the Masten log ging camp at Svensen this week. The strikers thought they had things all their own way for a time, but soon found out that the owner of the camp waa going to have a hand In the mat ter, ar.d they were out In the cold. Now they are wondering why they ever attempted anything of the kind, especially at a time when logging men are so numerous, on account of many of the camps shutting down for the -vin ter. Referring to the matter, Mr. C. C. Masten says: "I have a force of about twenty men working at the camp and the trouble arose over the dislike a number of them took to one man In my employ. They drew up a declara tion which was presented to me, stat lng that unless I discharged that man they would quit work. The man was one who had been working for me for ten or twelve years, and I saw no rea son why I should let him go, and so I discharged the others, and Immediate ly set about to engage a new crew." Sheriff Llnvllle started yesterday at ternoon to arrest Andrew Olsen at Hayseth on Youngs river. Mr. Olsen refused to allow the party of surveyors that are laying out the route of the proposed road between this city and Vesper on the county line to cross the land which he holds as tenant from J. L, Hayseth, and Insolently threaten' ed them with violence If they entered on said land. As the survey was be ing made by order of the county court his action was in direct contempt of such order. In the first place he had no right or reason for stopping the survey as the road would not nece sadly go across his land unless so de termlned by the survey and In such case If the result of the survey showed that the course across his land was the most practicable the court has the right to appoint appraisers and condemn the land and by due course of law award the. owner damage for the same. The sheriff returned last evening at 6 o'clock, having secured the man. Mr. Olsen will be tried for contempt of court. Work was commenced yesterday morning on the driving of the piles for the addition to the Ross, Hlggins & Co. store, and Is progressing quite rap Idly. The plledrlver will soon be out of the way of the street cars. Dur ing the greater part of yesterday the cars ran both ways on Commercial street Instead of making the circuit of Rond street and last evening the tracks were cleared by turning the driver side ways, so that the cars resumed their regular run. The old Naval Reserve both houses was all cleared out yes terday, the timbers being hoisted out by the pile driver. The man who man ipulated the piles and wreckage from the step and slip took several Im promptu bath. Contractor Clinton took the Job of ljftlng the timbers of the boat house that Berende pur chased from the Naval Reserve and gave full value In work for the mon ey received. The timber were wet and slippery and bad to be taken up one by one and occupied nearly an hour's time, with the whole force, which wo hardly paid for by (he con tract r-rlce of four bits, Portland Is threatened with a dis banding of her police force as a result of a decision, regarding the collection of revenue for Its support, made yes terday. Under the l'.-rms of the city charter, the common council has n power to Impose a tax that Is exces sive. The vehicle tax of from tt to MO a year I excessive. It Is a tax; not a license. For these reasons the vehicle license ordinance Is Illegal. This Is the meat of a decision rendered by Judge Cleland, of circuit court, yesterday. It effect Is to annul the ordinate refer red to, and to make It void for all time, unless Judge Cleland shall be reversed by the supreme court, to which the case will be carried promptly. Mean while collection of the tax will cease. Cnless prompt measures are taken to provide other means for maintenance of the police department, which Is unlike ly, the force will be disbanded Novem ber 1. and Its members will be dis charged. Two mambers of the police commission, C. N. Rankin and D. Soli Cohen, make unqualified statements to this effect. In their opinion the com mission would not be Justified in wait ing the outcome of the vehicle tax case In the supreme court before proceeding with the dlsbandment of the police.
