cisco on board the steamship Roanoke
which arrived in at the Callcndcr dock
last evening at 6:20 o'clock, were
despatched to Portland on a special
train over the A. & C; and most of
them were glad to make the exchange,
as the Pacific was mortally rough all
of yesterday, and especially yesterday
afternoon off the Columbia bar.
Here From Minnesota
Mr. and Mrs. II. M. Suhrs and little
daughter, of St. Paul, arrived here

A Pioneer Fireman-
Frank Stewart, of Oregon City, and
an ex-Astorian, and old fireman, and
the first driver of a fire steamer in
the volunteer days of this city, having
had charge of No. 2 when it was
brought here, is here hob-nobbing
with his old cronies and friends and
all hands found it pleasant occupation
by the way they kept it up. He is
one of the authorities on the pioneer
history of firemen and the good deeds
they accomplished and speaks largely
from exeprience. He will be here for
several days yet.
Should be Removed ,
There is danger in the cumbersome
piledrivcr that is allowed to stand at
the foot of the Uniontown hill, a con
stant impediment to all teams ascend
ing and descending the declivity, es
pecially as it is faced ,on the opposite
side of the street with a long row of
slabwood, the two nuisances leaving a
meagre roadway between them,
through which hacks, and delivery
wagons, and fire aparatus are forced
to find their way day and night with
a fair show of maiming a horse or
smashing a vehicle. It is time it was
removed, as it has rested there ever
since that end of Bond street was re
paired. A Smiling Savage
II. P. Savage, the well known right-
of-way man for the Northern Pacific
Railway Company, came over from
the north shore yesterday, and wan
dered around among his friends here,
quoting his well-received and cheerful
slogan:
Smile awhile I
While you smile
Another smiles,
And soon there's miles
And miles
of smilesl
And life's worth while,
If you but smile!
He left the city last evening, still
smiling. .
Will Bring It Back-
Lawrence Fritz, J. Oak Sutton and
Mr. Carter, the photographer, of this
city, will go out on the steamship
Roanoke this morning, equipped to
make a splendid moving picture film
of the battleship fleet in full operation
off the bar of the Columbia. Mr. Cal
lender, of the excursion management,
has promised to make everything as
easy as possible to capture the extra
ordinary picture, and if it is success
ful it will be among the finest of the
country. Mr. Fritz has had exper
ience in this line and, the day being
fine, there is nothing to prevent them
from securing a star attraction for
the Star before they come back. In
other words they are not .only going
jto see the fleet but will bring it back
with them.
FAILED TO AGREE ON
RESOLUTION
MEETING OF THE DIFFERENT
FISHERIES UNION COMMIT
TEES AND PROTECTIVE AS
SOCIATION FALL FLAT FROM
THE VERY START.
There was a meeting held yester
day at the Chamber of Commerce
rooms in this city, at which there were
a score or more of people, all inter
ested in the fisheries question in var
ious and earnest ways, and the object
of that meeting was to ascertain the
attitude of the gill-net fishermen to
ward the pound-net and seiners of the
lower river. There were seven or
eight of the latter, with groups from
the gill ncttcrs' union, and a number
of the Business Men's committee in
charge of the protective fisheries bill;
and Messrs. II. M. Lorntsen and Ed.
Rosenberg, the official representatives
of the local and coast fisheries unions,
were also present.
The discussion, or what there was
of it was opened by the presentation
of the following resolution, as coming
from the pound-nctters and seiners'
union, and the same having been duly
read, was repudiated by Messrs.
Lorntsen and Rosenberg, who declin
ed to sign the same under any condi
tions whatever. The text of the reso
lution was as follows:
"In view of the general misunder
standing that exists in regard to the
position taken by the Columbia River
Fishermen's Protective Association
on the fishing question, and with a
desire to plainly define our position
on this important question, we there
fore subscribe the following as the
belief and principles of our respective
organization, we do not believe or
contend that the Pound Nets and
Seines, as operated on the Columbia
River, are more destructive to salmon
than the Gill Nets are, and that each
class of gear is destructive only in
proportion to the percentage of fish it
catches. And we disclaim any hos
tility to the maintenance and opera
tion of Pound Nets and Seines, and
we contend that they should be ac
corded the same privilege that is en
joyed by the Gill Net fishermen, and
we hereby pledge the support of our
respective organization to the sup
port of such laws as will insure a
fair and impartial regulation of law.
This being all that was offered in
behalf of the session, of a distinctive
and effective sort, adjournment was
taken.
It is not known just what steps the
pound-net men and seiners will take
in the premises, but it is quite certain
they are not feeling any too friendly
toward the gill-netters and are not
likely to contribute much to the cam
paign that is being waged so hotly
and cleverly over the state to save the
salmon fisheries from the bedevilment
of the traps and wheels.
