There la a well de fined sentiment cat the law lie en forced to the letter, and the opinion was freely expressed thit a Portland pat ?r was unjust In Intimating the ex istence of a. movement to extend the season beyond the limits prescribed by law. George H. George, secretary of the Columbia River Puckers' associa tion, said: "We are not at all desir ous of prolonging the season, and I don't believe there Is a responsible ranner on the river who advocates such a course. Neither are we urging the fisherman tc cfase operations. We are perfectly contented to run until the closj of the searon and suKpend then. The fish that we are receiving at the present time are good, but the time will certainly come when they will be inffilor. and that time will be after Saturday, so you can say that we will be glad to cease operations then." It Is stated on the best of authority that the season a catch will not bel short, despite predictions to the con trary. While the fish were late In mak ing their appearance In the river, when they did come It was in such large numbers that the canneries were more than able to make u: for the de'ay. The season closes tomorrow morning at o'clot:.. WILL INVITE QUEEN FRANCES CAPTAIN JOHN REID READT FOR LAVNCHINO OF HIS LAUNCH "FOX" TOMORROW.
