Columbia River Pound Net ft Seiners'
Aatociation Paas Resolutions.
At a meeting of the Columbia
River Pound Net & Seiners' Associa
tion, held in the city ball today, the
following resolutions were presented
and passed, commending the action
of the Governor of Washington in
appointing a committee to frame pro
tective laws for the protection of the
fishing industry of the State of Wash
ington, and the association, pledged
itself to in every, way aid the delega
tlon from the Columbia River, that
are members of the Commission;
also the following resolution:
"Resolved, That we believe the
perpetuation of the salmon fishing
does not demand the elimination of
any one class of fishing gear, but a
just and equitable regulation of all
classes, and we therefore condemn the
action of the gill net fishermen fpr
their constant endeavor to abolish all
fishing appliances, except gill nets.
We believe the fishing industry can
be preserved by just regulation of all
classes of gear and the rights of all
respected.
"Resolved, That we extend our
thankt to Colonel S. W. Roessler and
Lieutenant-Colonel Smith S. Leach
for the courtesies and consideration
shown to us, and we commend the
recommendation of Colonel Leach for
the opening of the channel As we
believe the best interests of all will
be to keep an open channel to the
sea, as such channel will allow un
obstructed passage for ships, and
will also allow a free passage for
salmon."
Resolutions were passed thanking
John D. Atkinson, attorney-general at
Washington, for hit assistance and
aid rendered to the association and
also concurring with the suggestion
of Colonel Roessler, of the U. S. En
gineer Department to bond the fish
traps that are along the navigable
channels of the river, a committee
wat appointed to confer with Colonel
Roessler to arrange for the filing of
bonds and such other matters as may
properly come before the department

Mr. Beasley seemed to be in a very
cheerful humor as he joined the little
group around the stove in the back
room and settled himself for his
evening smoke and gossip.
"I just got a long letter from my
nephew, Henry," he said, as he lit
his corncob pipe, "and I surely was
glad to hear that he was getting
along ao welL Henry has made a
great success in life, and it was all
due to a little, innocent looking news
paper advertisement"
Somebody asked to be told all
about it, and, needing no urging, Mr.
Beasley continued: ' ,.,
"Not long after Henry came out of
college, he saw the advertisement I
speak of. It said that a wealthy lady
wanted a competent man to take
charge of her real estate to collect
the rents, superintend repairs, and
so on.
"Henry thought that looked like a
pretty good job, so he packed his
grip and took the train at once. He
found that the woman was a young
widow who owned a whole lot of real
estate and was having a peck . of
trouble trytng to take care of it
"Henry said she showed him a long
list of the yarious properties she own
ed, told him what the work would
consist of, and then, looking him
square in the eye, she says, 'I want
you to give me your references and
tell me all about yourself, and then I
am going to look you up and see that
you are all right. I am mighty par
ticular about it because my idea is
that a man will never take care of a
lot of .property such as I own and do
his work the way it ought to be done
unless he has a personal interest in
it, and consequently I intend to marry
the man that gets the job.'
That lets me out,' says Henry,
reaching for his hat 1 am not look
ing for a wife, and if I was I wouldn't
take one in this kind of a way. No,'
says Henry, getting hot under the
collar, 'I wouldn't marry you if you
were ten times as rich and twenty
times as as ' 'As what? asks the
woman laughing. 'Never mind,' says I
Henry, starting for the door.
"But the woman made him come
back and sit down again. 'You are
just the kind of a man I am looking
for,' she said. 'You are the eighteenth
man who has been here after this )ob,
and everyone of the others just jump
ed at what he thought was a chance
to marry me. I am looking for a
level-headed, honorable, businesslike
man, and I guess you are the man.

timet as' And then she laughed al
him again.
"So Henry got the job," continued!
Mr. Beasley, "and he's kept it even
since, and a mighty pleasant sal
profitable one it is."
The old man laid back in his chair.
and, as he refilled his pipe, chuckled
and wagged his head, as if something
amused him very much.
Finally somebody asked .him what
he was laughing about He looked
around at all of us with a twinkle us
his eye.
"I did not tell you the best part oi
it, he said. "The thing that always
struck me as being funny was that
Henry married the woman after alL"
