I have gone at the matter carefully ami ayflleniatlcally, have caught my men and now I pro pose to prosecute them to the full ex tent of the law. 1 have no personal feellna; iu the matter, but I propose to discharge my duty a an officer to the mi." Maater FSah Warden Van Dusen has been sumwoting something rotten In' rtie " atate of Denmark" for aometlme, and he auspM'ted that it was taking place right under the nose of a cer tain flah official whom he dared not cult Into his confidence. He haa ben very busy looking after other matter, hntcherlea, etc., but hvi had a weath er eye out all of the time. When he decided that It wna about ripe he started out on bualncM. He' found a box of fish In Portl.uid thai dtd not " smell" exactly right. The box was addresstd to the cold storage plant at Cirtle. The tNh wanlcn took the aume boat with the box and arrived at Ooble with It. He hurt two m-n vl'h him. They did not look like bad fellows; they were Just common looking fellows. They were William W. Smith an t L, C. Hlmler, water bailiffs from Chwlaniaa county and they Just came al-injf o keep the fish warden company, and In cidentally ftBiflst ihlm in Inves'lffatlng things. When Ooble was reached, the fatal box waa taken In by the proprietor of the plant, or the pwwn in charge, and the fish warden discovered that the box contained sturgeon; he further concluded that A big plant like that would not handle Juat am box of atnr geaon, and aH the law Imposes upon him the duty to investigate All cold storage planta when he thinks It is necessary, he went on a tour 'of in-1 vtl'pttl'ii. And wh'fn h" Iu1 cotnpln l his Invent: Igatlon he foun I In thin plant I'M aturgvon.

He found boxest of sturgeon, or saw thi-m taken ftvm both the steamers, lialley Oat beit and Lurllne, and nays he will not make " flsh of one and flesh of anoth er," but will proavrute all alike. Ife secured the shipping tags used In many canes And he finds that the tag of " J. H. Ilurkc, flh dealer. Cathlam' et. Wash.." had directed a large num ber of boxes containing sturgeon to their destination. In fact most of the flsh came from this point. There were some shipped from the wheels in the upper Columbia, but few compared with those from the Warrington side. The master flsh warden saya that sturgeon were being wiped out at such a rate that the people of the state In duced the legislature to paa the law. and that the fact thai the most of the sturgeon found in the possession of the gentlemen named are very small, shows that the fith were again getting a start.
