The following is the text of the let
ter sent by II. M. Lorntscn, secre
tary of the Columbia River Fisher
men's Union, to R. W. Montague,
chnirman of the Fish Committee, of
the Oregon Conservation Commis
sion, at Portland, detailing the exact
statu of the salmon industry at pres
ent, the responsibility for it, and the
way out:
"Dear Sir: In compliance with
your kind invitation to appear before
the Oregon Conservation Commis
sion in the interest of our fisheries,
and In addition to remark I may de
sire 10 make orally, to file with the
Commission, a written statement of
fishermen's views in the matter, I
wih to say thai the salmon of the
Columbia River are steadily decrcas
in, as a result of inability to reach
their spawning ground.
, Everywhere in salmon streams,
fishing haji been prohibited where
the rivers get so narrow that the
salmon cannot pass to the spawning
grounds. The Columbia River is the
only exception to this wholesome
rule.
The Oregon ahd Washington
legislatures for the past 20 years
have been appealed to, to stop fish
ing in the Columbia River at head of
tide, but the fishwbeel owners al
ways succeeded in defeating the
stoppage of falling in the narrows
of the upper Columbia. ?
"Last June the voters of Oregon
decided by a majority of 26,000 that
ftshiug above the Sandy River, that
U, above head of tide, shall stop.
At the same time, a trick bill' intro
duced for the purpose '.of defeating
bona fide fishery legislation, likewise
passed by majority of 6000. he
bill to stop fishing above the Sandy
stopped fishing ' in the upper Colum
bia; the trick bill practically stops
fisbing in the lower Columbia.
"We were prepared to bring these
two bills before our state courts
when we confidcntally expected that
the trick bill would have been de
clared in conflict with the true fish
bill, and thus annulled.
"The owners of the fishwheels evi
dently knew this, so when the Ore
gon Master Fish Warden arrested
Osegbn and Washington fishermen,!
the matter was thrown into the Fed-!
eral court. Washington asked the
Federal Judge at Portland to re
strain the Oregon Master Fish War
den from interfering with Washing
ton fishermen fishing north of the
middle channel In the Columbii
River. ' J
Judge Gilbert granted si tempo
rary injunction to this effect. When
later, argument was had before Judge
Wolverton, whether this injunction
should be made permanent, Attoreny
General Crawford asked that this in
junction extend from shore to shore.
The attorney for Washington object
ed to such extension, and the Judge
in rendering his decision, extending
the workings of the injunction from
shore to shore and making it perma
nent, specifically states that the at
torney for Washington objected to
such extension, and that the attor
ney for Oregon asked for such exten
sion from shore to shore.
"In this connection, wish to say at
present, a case settling the state's
jurisdiction over the Columbia River
in fishery matters is going to the
Supreme Court of the United States
in the Chris Nelson case; in which
case, the Oregon Supreme Court held
thaf Oregon has jurisdiction from
shore to shore, against which decis
ion the State of Washington is ap
pealing. -
"I am convinced that until a de
cision' is rendered in this case, no
legislation for the preservation of the
Columbia River salmon that is of
any "value can be secured or en1
forced. Therefore, the first thing to
be dono to preserve our salmori, is
to get a decision from the Supreme
Court of the United States in the
Chris Nelson case. Any assistance
you may be able to render in advanc
ing the hearing of this case wi',1
therefore be of the greatest import
ance to salmon protection.
"The order of Judge Wolverton
prohibiting Oregon from enforcing
Its fishery laws in its own waters; an
order issued upon the request of the
attorney for Oregon should be
sought to be amended. Oregon sure
ly should have a right to enforce its
own laws in its own waters. If
Oregon can do that,; the fishwheels
on the Oregon shore and these fish
whcls catch about 80 per cent of the
fish caught in the fishwhccl region
would have to stop and the up river
hatcheries and spawning grounds
would again have their fill of spawn
ing salmon, w '
"Any assistance your Commission
can render to this effect will helu
the preservation of our salmon. Un
til the fishing in the narrows of the
upper Columbia is stopped we fish
ermen are, fully convinced, because
we know, that "weekly closing laws
and other restrictions proposed, ar;
simply for the purpose of getting
more fish to the fishwhccl owners in
the upper Columbia, but with fishing
stopped at head of tide, the fisher
men will co-operate at any and all
times in protective measures.
"I here desire to file literattire
bearing upon the bill stopping fish
ing at head of tide in the Columbia,
also upon -the bill stopping fishing in
the lower Columbia.
"You will note that men like Dr.
David Starr Jordan, president of Le
land Stanford University and Judge
Thomas A. Mc Bride, and other gave
their active support at the passage
of the bill stopping fishing at head
of tide. Yon will also note that the
lishwheel owners secured majority
for the trick bill by misrepresenta
tion, and trickery of the most, repre
hensible kind. " ' . J ' " "
"I am, very respectfully,
' ' '' "IT. M. LORNTSEN,
"Secretary Columbia River Salmon
Protective Association,' also Secre
tary. Columbia Fishermen's Union."

Out of Politic .
.Judging by the contented smile he
wore all day yesterday Dr. Logan is
very well satisfied that he is out of
the political game entirely for, the
campaign., Yet some of the doctor's
many friends may think that he has
not been dealt within the house of
his friends just as he might have.
But Dr. Logan Jsn't caring, accord
ing to his words and his attitude.
The fact that he did not receive a
majority of the votes in the race for
the four-year term in the council from
the Second ward left him out of that
race,. and he had already tendered his
resignation of the nomination for the
two-year term given him by the
Citizens' convention.

Died From Diphtheria
The body of. Fred W. Kauppi, the
4-year-old son of Henry Kauppi, a
former resident of Astoria, was
brought down from Portland yester
day morning for interment in Green
wood cemetery. There were unusual
circumstances in connection with the
death of the little boy. It appears
that the attending physician in Port
land reported the cause of death as
croup, yet the health department of
that city ascertained It to have been
diphtheria. "While the body was on
tlft train to be brought here, and the
father and mother of the dead child
were on the train to come here, an
officer of the health department ap
peared and' made the mother get off
the car and go to her home. The
father, after being fumigated, was
permitted to continue on his journey.
Naturally he was somewhat exer
cised over the matter, and yesterday,
according to friends, he even felt that
perhaps the body of the child had
been taken from the Coffin by the
Portland authorities. Therefore be
fore the scaled coffin was, placed in
the grave he had it opened to make
sure his dead boy was there.
