M. Orton, president; Portand Jay Tuttle, vice-president, Astoria; F. E. Beach, treasurer, Portland; H. M. Lorntsen, secretary, Astoria; Thomas A. McBride, Oregon City; Wm. I. Vawter, Medford; G. S.

"Latest reoorts show that Initiative Bill 332, prohibiting fishing for sal mon in the Columbia River above he month of the Sandy, received vntes for and 30280 against, re reivim? thus a majority of nearly 26,- nm It ran be safely said that the fishwheels in the Columbia river are doomed, because with Oregon having decreed by such an overwhelming vote that this method of fishing must itnn Washington will no doubt in the future likewise prohibit commer- . 1 cial fishing above the tanay, especial ly as about 80 per cent of fishwheels fishing is carried on along the Oregon chnri and Oreeon fishwheels had an almost absolute monopoly on all seed fish trying to pass the Ceiuo fans Washington has oassed some very effective legislation for Puget Sound .nrl ran he exnected to do what is ritrht for the Columbia. "This great victory for salmon pro tection has been won through the standing given Bill 332 by the men servinc as officers of the Columbia River Salmon Protective Associa tion. Misrepresentation, trickery and fraud employed by agents of the fish- TtfWI owners failed to shake the confidence of the voters in the sin- reritv of mirnose of the men who v. - j - r save their services for the preserva tion of one of Oregon's great indus tries. "As executive officer of the United Fishermen of the Pacific, the organ ization which has set itself the task tn secure legislation for the protec tion and preservation of our food fishes, I most sincerely thank you for your valuable aid toward securing the passage of Bill 332. "But I also ask you to help to pre serve what has been gained by the passage of this bill. Because through misrepresentation, trickery and fraud, Initiative Bill 3IS, the hsiiwneei owners' trick bill, received 46,582 votes for and 40,720 against, thus re ceiving a majority of nearly 6000 votes, the claim is being set up that a 'compromise' measure should be passed at the next legislature. And a few of our best friends, believing that the trick bill is cnforcible and thus almost absolutely will stop sal mon fishing on the Columbia, are somewhat favoring a compromise. "Now closest observation and stud of the fishwheel method of fishing has convinced me that if the salmon of the Columbia are to stay, the wheels must go fishing by all methods must stop where the Colum bia becomes so narrow that the neces sary seed fish cannot get to our hatcheries and spawning grounds. "Dr. David Starr Jordan, president of the Leland Stanford University, and generally accepted as the most learned and withal the most inde pendent authority on the food hshes of our country, through letters and telegrams sent me, materially helped tn carrv bill 332. his condemnation, of the fishwheels being strong and to the point. Under date of June ltn, TV lordan writes me that he has been asked bv the United States Secretary of State to serve as International Commissioner of Fisheries, and that he probably will visit Astoria ami Seattle sometime in August. Thus we can depend on Dr. Jor dan's aid in holding on to our bill stopping fishing above the Sandy. "As to bill 318, we can show tnat trickerv and fraud of the grossest kind were employed in misrepresent ing the scope of this bill. "I am convinced that it was the understanding of fish trap men who made themselves allies of the hsh- uheel men in the campaign, that under the decision of our federal court, the trick bill could not be en forced ,if passed. If they thought it could he enforced, the dead line pre scribed therein for fishing and run ning from a Doint near Astoria across --o the river to Point ElllCC WOUltl pro hibit fishing by several hundred traps located between Point Ellice and the bar (under the State concurrent jur isdiction over the whole river): but acting evidently under the impression - rr - - t that it could not be enforced, commit tees reoresenting owners of these traps worked with the fishwheel own ers for the passage of the trick bill, which otherwise would have been directly against their interest. I am of the belief, that the appli cation and validity of trick bill 318 are for determination by the courts and that the Oregon Legislature next spring will pass such salmon protec tion measures for the lower Colum bia as will add to the value of bill 332 provided the provisions of this bill are left in full force and not com promised away. "I enclose letter I recently sent Secretary of State Benson protesting against the appointment of an 'inde pendent' commission to supplant the fishery commission appointed by the Oregon Legislature.

JOHNSON, General Agent. Unless the unexpected happens there will be some rapid and perhaps start ling developments in the case of the two men who are obstructing the seining grounds leased by the Colum bia River Packers' Association on Sand Island, The two men arc still there, however, with their guns and revolvers. According to a communication re ceived by Samuel F. Elmore, presi dent of the Packers' Association, from Col. W. S. Roessler, in command of the engineering department of the Columbia, the rights and privileges granted to the association under the terms of their lease will be vigorous ly upheld and maintained. The letter from Col. Roessler intimates that these rights and privileges will be upheld even if it "takes all the power under the command of Col. Koess ler: in other words, the troops will be called out 'f necessary. Such is the serious predicament into which the two men in the fishing boat have apparently put themselves. Meanwhile the association is await- imr the outcome of the matter with equanimity, and will permit the gov ernment to fight the matter out with the armed men in the fishing boat. Further information officially se cured by the officials of the associa- . . . . tion has also let the cat out ot tnc bag." It develops that it is Henry S. McGowan, of the firm of McGowan & Son, packers, who is the holder of one of the licenses ot tnc set nets that are obstructing the seining grounds of the Packers' Association. 'It is Henrv S. McGowan who is back of the whole thing," said a gen tleman prominently connected witn the matter yesterday. 'McGowan has hired the two men ... TM to stay tn the hshing boat, ineir names are Erich Lindstrom and J. P. Coyle; at least the licenses lor tnc other nets are held in their names. fnvie is said to he a bully and a former cowboy. We have reports of him swaggering around ChmooK in true Wild West style." The fact that it is McGowan who is back of the attack on the Packers Association, if fact it is, makes the whole matter more clear. From the first it was suspected that it was Mc Gowan who was engineering the scheme to destroy the season s sein ing for the Packers' Association, and according to the facts now brought to light, there seems no doubt that he is the man back of it all. Criticisms of McGowan from the other side are as pointed as they are bitter. It is alleged that he has taken this method of endeavoring to de stroy the fishing off the leased sein ing grounds just at a time when any interference would be likely to cause great financial loss, even if the asso- ciat on were able to entirely upnoiu their rights under their leases in the end. Every day s interference from now on will mean a loss of perhaps $200 a day for the Packers Associa tion, and hence it is only natural that they are very likely to move with swiftness and with all the power at their command in the matter. Rut the officials of the association don't,seem to be worrying very great lv over the matter. The men in the fishing boat were yesterday notified bv the Federal authorities to pull up their set nets and leave the waters in the undisturbed possession of the lessees. If they disobey this man date, then the fireworks will undoubt edly begin. Whether the cowboy wilf prove an abler toe than any piam, ordinary Columbian river tisherman remains to be seen. Nevertheless the cowboy and his companion are causing trouble . on their own hook. Ijt is alleged that yesterday they fired their rifles around the harbor with reckless disregard of the presence of others, and some of the fishermen became afraid for their lives. When asked about the matter last night, Mr. Elmore, president of the Packers' Association, said that the whole difficulty comes from Henry S. McGowan. "But," said Mr. Elmore, with emphasis, "somebody will have to pay for this." "We are ready to start the seining tomorrow." went on Mr. Elmore; "in fact, we have been delayed al ready. We are now waiting for the federal authorities to act, and that they will act promptly and thor oughly there is little doubt." i! If slit!$ II I Mi ill 1 IfP 4 n y I It I r .!7 Wy j. i. ' "' r'iM.
