THE MORNING ASTOIUAN. ASTORIA. OREGON. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1905. 1 . MUST NOT ENCROACH GillnettersWill Resent Interference By the Trapmen. WILL ESTABLISH TEST CASE Suit Appealed by Stensland to Be Fought by Christensen, and Gillnet ten V?ill Foot the Bill Constitu tional Rights Involved. Gillnetters of the lower river have decided to take a united stand against the encroachment on the common fish ing grounds, by trappers armed with State licenses and Government per mit, for the purpose of maintaining pound net. For some time gillnetters have felt that their interests could only be protected by some kind of a united effort along this line, and at a meet ing of the Fishermen" Union a few nights ago, the matter was discussed at length. While no official action has yet been taken, it i probable that a lengthy petition will be drawn and presented to the officers of the States of Oregon and Washington, and to the officials of the Federal Engineering De partment, setting forth the constitu tional right of the pillnetters, with a request that they hereafter be re flected. Much trouble has arisen in the last year, over repeated attempts on the part of trap locators, to appropriate grounds common to the use of the gill Betters. While the grounds would in most instances be ideal locations for pound nets, it is equally true they are invaluable for the use of the gillnet ters. The trapmen, the gillnetter declare have little difficulty in securing license from the State, and in some cases per mits from the Federal Engineers. Arm ed with this authority they do not fear to trespass upon the favorite grounds of the gillnetter's drifts. The latter however, base their contention against these alleged misappropriations, on the constitutional act which gives all men the 1 ICmoU ICraoI ICmn U lOOo U luUn II IPG One Magnificent Nickel Plated Malleable STEEL RANGE Valued at $100.00 will be given Away by the Foard (EL Stokes Com pany on Saturday, Dec. 23 In order to introduce to our patrons the quality of stoves and ranges we are handling and at the same time boom business in our Dry Goods and Crockery Departments, we are going to give, commencing, Monday, October 23rd, one coupon with every dollar in cajJi you spend in either of the two departments mentioned and on Saturday, December 23rd we will hsre a drawing contest at the store and the person holding the lucky number will be presented with one Nickel Plated Malleable Steel Prize Range absolutely free.

Along this line, the gillnetter argue that any per manent fishing gear, maintained by one man to the detriment and incon venience of another, is contrary to the constitution of the United Stales. A novel case in this connection, and one on which the gillnetter will make test fight, aroe Iat summer when a gillnetter lost his par through the al leged interference of a Sand Island wine. A gillnetter named William Christensen was drifting near the is land, when his seine became entangled in Stensland' seine. He lost its con trol and it went out over the bar. The seiners acrt that they offered to re turn the net to is owner, but that he refused the offer, and relumed to town without his net. The ease was tried in the justice court and a judgment of $U7.."H secured by the gillnetter. The seiner have since taken an appeal, and at a meeting of the Fishermen' Union Sat unlay night, it was decided to re imburse Christen sen. for at least a portion of the eo-t of the suit, o that a et case may be had. The prinicipal defend of Christ ensen will be that seining interfere with gillnetting. and thu deprives the gillnetter of his constitutional right. C. S. EXAMINATION.

I could not tell you all I had to suffer at the wretches hand and a I had never l-en on a ship before you may know I felt it very much, and I think he richly de- serves all that Judge McHride intended he should have and I would like to say that in my opinion, such a scoundrel is not fit to le at lilerty, and I sup- pose it is nothing more than a set of such men a himself that are anxious for his return to them. Hoping you will con- s aider what I have written, I re- main. Yours respectfully, a W. OSBORNE." The foregoing letter dated on OctoU-r 17th. and just received by Sheriff Thom as Linnville of this county and city, is self-explanatory. j It tells the tale of the man who was mised from this city early in 1!3, af ter securing a room at the Oriel house, and depositing his personal luggage therein, and who was never seen after his first departure from that room. It was ascertained, at the time, that he was an ex-employe of t'.ie Seaside Spruce Lumber Company, having quit its service on the morning of March 4, 190.1, the day and dat upon which lie i became a tenant of the Oriel, and his fate has been a matter of conjecture until the receipt and publication of the letter. It is no wonder he pleads with Oov ernor Chamberlain against executive clemency toward the brute by whose machinations he was compelled to en dure so much and so long; and there be many, knowing Paddy Lynch and his ilk, will heartily endorse the Oovcrnor's refusal to interfere in favor of the scoundrel who is responsible for this and a hundred other outrages of the same sort. Mr. Osborne is now dwelling in the East and will no doubt, hail with unfeigned joy the intelligence that Lvnch will serve out the full " re of his penalty. Notice to Mariners. Columbia river, Oregon. (List of lights and fog signals, Pacific, coast, 1W4, page 2H, No. 13, and list of lights, buoys and daymarks, Pacific coast, 1905, page 40.) Notice has been received that on Oc tober 20, Umatilla reef light-vessel was temporarily placed off the entrance to the Columbia river, Oregon, to mark the station of Columbia river light-vessel No. 00, which recently went adrift. Umatilla reef light-vessel i painted red, without name or number; and shows the same characteristic as to lights and fog signal as Columbia river light vessel. Same Old Lie. Statements of bar pilots to the effect that the lowest depth of water at the Columbia river bar is 21 feet, and that U disastrous results would follow taking ship to sea drawing more than 24 feet of water, have been shown to be false in reports of the United States Engineers, who hr.ve just completed soundings and surveys, and who find the water over the bar to be 24 feet deep at lowest stage. The careful character of the sur vey of the I internment engineer maken it beyond doubt that the figure of the Oregon liar Pilot' Association were in error. The 24 foot water i found only in a small are, the majority of the water being much deeier. Tim vessel drawing a much a 27 feet can pas out safely.-Telegram 2:rd.
