Editor Astorian: Much has been
stated in the newspaper of Oregon
and Washington regarding the protec
tion of the salmon fishing industry and
at the past election two bills were
voted upon each tending to special
interests. Much speculation is being
indulged in as to the outcome of the
result, one side claiming that it is a
victory for the gillnctters and the
other for the trappers and wheel men.
While this subject is occupying the
minds of many little attention is paid
to the fishermen who capturing the
fish and who working, as they do,
while others ship and deliver to the
canneries and cold storage plants, the
material that makes up the "pack".
The fisherman has his trials. He
probably "lays out" three times each
nisrht and may be "skunked," not
catch a fish. In addition to this he
pays a license for fishing and is com- j

MOROCCAN PROBLEM.
The Position of France is Announced
in Paris Dispatch,
, PARIS, Aug. 27 The position of
France with regard to Morocco as a
result of the defeat of the Sultan of
record, Abd El Aziz by his brother
Mulai Hafid, who has now been pro
claimed Sultan practically throughout
the empire, is substantially as fol
lows: ' .
Mulai Hafid's victory and his proc
lamation as Sultan at Tangier appar
ently makes him the master of Mo
rocco. However, to continue , as
Sultan de facto he must levy taxes,
and to levy taxes he must maintain
an army with which to impress and
hold the fickle tribesmen, and to
maintain an army he must have mon
ey. Money is his paramount neces
sity; gold is the goal around which
the entire Moroccan problem re
volves. For gold Hafid must look to
Europe. Without it he cannot hope
to endure. It would be tactless and
ruinous for the powers instantly to
throw themselves at the feet of Mulai
Hafid, and recognize him as the ruler
of Morocco. He must be shown that
the powers are necessary to him, and
that he is necessary to the powers.
to try to catch fishermen evading the
law as to closed season or license. I
can furnish proof that he has brought
charges against the operation of traps
20 minutes before the close of the
closed season. The operators of the
traps were fined $30 on each charge,
by the justice of the peace, but their
attorneys carried the matter to the
superior court and Judge McBride re
versed the decision and dismissed the
case. "
Surely this did not add to the repu
tation of this "wise" water bailiff.
The law stands for prosecution, and
not persecution, and favoritism on the
part of an officer unfit for his position.
An officer has his enemies when he
does his duty but when he shows fa
vors to some and to build up his repu
tation, persecutes others, he makes
implacable enemies. I was a victim of
technicalities and can write inteHi
gently as to my case.
