FISHINO LEGISLATION.
The amendments to the fishing laws,
lnmrnnrald Into a bill which WSB
. agreed upon by the joint conference
of representatives of Oregon and
Washington, has passed both houses
ef the legislature and has been ap
proved by the governor. The only op
position to the bill of any importance
came from Seufert of The Dalles, but
as the bill passed by an almost unani
mous vote, tt shows that Seufert's in
fluence Joes not amount to much at
Salem. The law extends the fishing
season to March 15, making the spring
close season from March 15 to April
15. It extend the fall season to Au
gust 25. These are the principal
changes in the law.
The law also increases the license on
Tanneries and gear and" makes them
uniform with Washington. Heretofore
the laws have leen different In many
important particulars causing a clash
of authority and engendering ill-feeling
and bitterness between the master fish
warden of Oregon and the fish commis
sioner of Washington. .The fishing in
dustry on the Columbia river is shared
alike by both states, and both are en
deavorlng to build it up and make it
profitable for both cannerymen and
fishermen. The only thing lacking was
uniform laws, and now that these have
been encated it will create less an
tagonism. The new law does not seek to take
away any of the rights of fishermen,
either trapmen, seiners or gill netters,
the regulations being Just and equitab
ly distributed. Representatives of the
different fishing interests were present
at the Joint conference at Olympla, and
all expressed themselves as satisfied
with the agreement While It raises
the license on gill nets to $5 It repeals
the individual license wnlch has been
inoperative because it did not exist In
Washington. It will Increase the reve
nues, giving both states more money to
pend in the artificial propagation of
salmon.
The new law is the best ever enacted
and makes the work of enforcing it
much easier. There is one matter In
this connection that should be brought
to the attenUon of the proper authori
ties, and that Is, granting licenses to
Sacramento river fishermen. These
fishermen are not legal residents of
Oregon and they commit perjury in
applying for licenses. Not only that,
but nine-tenths of them take from on
to, three nets back with them. They
seldom steal an entire net, but cut off
from 50 to 100 fathoms of different nets
making it much more difficult to Iden
tify them. They frequently leave beat
ing their landlords out of board bills,
and merchants out of supplies fur
nished. when merchants are foolish
enough to give them credit
The ' Columbia River Fishermen'r
' Union ought to take this matter in
hand and appoint two or three men
to remain at the office of the master
fish warden and se that these rivei
pirates and net thieves are not grantee'
a license. It was at the requent of the
an impossible thing. What they are
telling us is that there has been such
an epidemic raging in' our midst for
a long time past, but that only now are
the newspapers beginning to be aware
of what they have missed. Now that
they are advised of the facts, however,
they are making up for lost time with
commendable energy, and there ap
pears to have sprung up among them
a keen rivalry in the discovery of very
old people, hitherto overlooked.
A year ago and the century mark
was believed to be highly exceptional
and extraordinary among us. It was
thought to be a gift of the gods re
served to but few. But since, less than
half a year ago, the discovery com
menced to be made that there were old
folks hiding around all over the coun
tryto whom a hundred years was i
thing of the long past, eminent medical
scientist have been pointing out the
possibility of a hundred years being
the average span of life within a few
generations. Men and women are com
ing out of the woods, whose existence,
never heretofore suspected, has been
running on, calmly and uneventfully,
for a hundred years and almost the
span of an average life in addition. So
keen has grown the competition in the
press for turning up these revelations
of longevity, thai enterprising report
ers drive weary miles to make one of
the finds, and seek to learn, from
their withering Hps, the secret of their
lingering here. ,
Thev tell varyln tales. Some of
them have always been open to gusta
torlal delights, while others have been
as firmly closed against them. Some
have been as smokestakes to glowing
fires, and others as decaying chimney
stacks over dead ashes. Some have
yawned for drugs, while others have
curled in scorn at mention of them.
What these conflicting experiences and
conclusions seem to teach us that there
are more roads than one to long life.
although the eminent scientists point
out but one for us all to follow. It
might be possible to reconcile some
irreconcilable things in these stories
with the theory that the old persons
Interviewed as to their particular
means and methods of prolonging life
may have had answers put in their
mouths according to the fancy or
prejudice of the Interviewer. But that
way lies danger. For the next step
might be an iconoclastic inquiry as to
the reality of the discovery of an old
age epidemic itself, and then the ques
tion of whether the eminent scientists
know what they are talking about.
Rather than provoke which we will
drop th subject.
