WHY DISCRIMINATE LONGER?
It is certainly no part of a news
paper's business to counsel an in
fraction of the law under any circum
stances; but there are conditions that
sometimes seem to justify such a
departure, notable among which is
the case of 6900 men on the Colum
bia rier who are holding themselves
in idleness, subject to grave loss, in
obedience to a law that is being flag
rantly broken in neighboring terri
tory. A paltry hundred or two men
op on the Clackamas and Willamette
rivers, taking advantage of the laches
r . 1 . . 1 -
vi a stupia icgisiaiuic, snu ui a mas-
ter fish warden who has yet very
much to learn about the business he
has been charged to regulate, are
breaking the tacit and well-understood
regulation of a common indus
try, sweeping the very cream from a
15-day catch and despoiling the fu
I tore prospect of the business by re
ducing the hatching-ratio by just that
much.
It is a shameful state of affairs, and
the blame, as it lies, reflects equally
upon the Legislature, the warden,
and the men whose lost of money
outweighs every sense of good citi
zenship and trade association. It is
one of those conditions that are pe
culiarly aggravating on account of
the keen unfairness it imposes upon
those who are seeking to maintain
an exact and just attitude; an atti
tude that has been achieved only
after long and arduous work, and by
an agreement, involving the good
faith of two states at interest in this
particular business.
There would be no surprise, nor
conscientious chafing, at this end of
the Columbia, if every waiting keel
and man in the salmon fisheries here
about should be found busily at work
with net and gear in these waters
this morning, in view of the extra
ordinary aggravation now prevalent
here and the coarseness of the chal
lenge and affront set up by the up
river fishermen. We are not claim-

placate it and serve to make a final
and adverse judgment of court less
burdensome. , " -
The good work wrought by the
Oregon members of the joint legis
lative committee in the consumma
tion of the inter-state agreement
reached last winter, goes for naught
and is rendered nugatory by the raw
work of the men on the upper rivers
who have transcended the law and
its best spirit in this instance. The
hlnnderfnir incident to the carrvinir
out of the joint law, on this side of
the river, to date, leaves the Wash
ington fisherman with all the credit
in the case; a leverage that ought
never to have eisxted; and which
must contribute to the further dis
comfiture of the Oregon-party to that
agreement, on the score of deliberate
bad faith. The Columbia river fish
ermen must bear the reflected re
proach of the stigma, as well as the
large losses of the season occasioned
by the wanton selfishness of the
small group that as wrought it.
The fact that 56 boxes of salmon
arrived here yesterday from the Wil-

lamette and Clackamas rivers (the
common-carriers known as the As
toria & Columbia River Railroad Co.,
and the Vancouver Transportation
Co bringing them in on a carte
blanche voidance of law forbidding
them such a right), consigned to S.
Schmidt & Co-, of this city, has start
ed a deep feeling of resentment all
through the fishing district here, and
it is very likely to find expression in
the only way left, since obedience to
the law of the land cannot save them
harmless from the trespass of their
fellows. No blame whatever attaches
to the Messrs. Schmidt; but we can
not help believing that the warden,
or whosoever else granted the trans
portation companies the right to
bring the fish here, has made an
equally bad break in granting such a
concession, since no such power is
incorporated in the fishing statutes.
and would utterly negative them if it
were. The whole situation is de
plorably mis-managed, and all that
can be hoped for it, is that the com
mon sense and good-citizenship of
the vast majority of the fishermen on
the Columbia will prevail, in spite of
the tempting leverage that has been
set up to tempt them from the
honester course.
It is simply another instance of
the readiness of the Willamette and
Clackamas fishermen to make trouble,
since it is well known that they are
the originators of all the disturbances
of record in the industry. They should
not be permitted to fish those streams
at all, on the basis that they are,
primarily, hatching streams and not
fishing grounds in the best sense of
the term. Such a denial would be for
the general uplift of craft and its
commerce.
A BIG OBJECTIVE.
The movement of the Farmers'
Union, up in the Inland Empire, for
thr establishment of the common-
point rate on wheat to the mouth of
the Columbia is a matter of profound
concern and value to the men of that
ilk- all over the countrv uo that way; i
it is not a. mere cursory policy tor
the better adjustment of rates ann
the balancing of conditions in trans
portation, it is. judging from the
talk of the men next to the project,
a direct plausible and important
scheme for the saving of a quarter
of a million of money every season,
and so much more, as the expanding
acerage and development there, shall
measure year by year.
There is not a farmer in the entire
section supposed to be included in
the imperial term, or contiguous to
it, who does not thoroughly under
stand the issue, from top to bottom;
it has been widely discussed and in
telligently advertised all over that
country and is. today, the chief topic
of "shop" talk from the Dalles to
Boise and from Spokane to Hunting
ton, and then some. This, and the
completion of the Celilo portage,
constitute the mam items of prospec
tive evolution in the grain interests
of the northwest, and every atom of
influence available is being cast con
stantly, and conscientiously for these
benefits.
Brer' Tom Richardson is flooding
the country up there with letters to
the farmers, skillfully framed in de
precation of the rate element of the
fight; but this is accurately estimated
as Portland s essential program and
treated accordingly. No one blames
Portland, nor Portland's booster, for
the fight that city is putting up; but
the fact that it is thoroughly known
and appreciated, acts as a qualifica
tion of it, and practically, nullifies its
effect.
It is a very big thing anyway one
looks at it; immense interests are en
gaged, and vaster changes threatened
than can be readily estimated, and
for once, at least, the farmer is "in
the saddle" with" a deft bridle-hand at
work for his own good, without ref
erence to city, section or carrier;
they are in intimate touch with every
phase of the issue and no man may
humbug them; they have done with
sophistical clap-trap and will deal
only in solid and compensating reali
ties from now on. And they will
"get there."
We often wonder how any person
can be persuaded into taking any
thing but Foley's Honey and Tar for
coughs, colds and lung trouble. Do
not be fooled into accepting "owr)
make" or other substitutes. Tbe gen
uine contains no harmful drugs and

would keep it forever and adopt it

CHICAGO, April 19-Turfmen
from the Facitic are pasMttg through
the city on their way eastward, in
cluding many who started before the
meeting at Santa Anita and Oakland
closed in the hope of getting stall
room at some of the eastern tracks.
With their arrival, reports of an at
tempting meeting across the Indiana
line or at Buffalo City, Mich., again
became current, but no corroboration
of the story was obtainable. That
the local magnates will make an at
tempt to reopen at present was the
consensus of opinion here,
John Condon, who will have
charge of the racing situation at
Overland Park. Denver, this year,
may decide to extend the meeting to
fifty two days, although no official
announcement has been made to that
effect. He is conducting the man
agement of affairs from this city, and
declares he is not interested in any
local racing association enterprise.
Christopehr Telles of St Lotus, is
expected in this city shortly, but is
not believed that his advent will have
anything to do with the scheme once
advanced by managers of a turf
syndicate, formerly in control of St.
Louis tracks, to start a circuit of
courses in Iowa.
The scheme once proposed was to
have a circuit of small tracks with
short meetings. like that once held at
Council Bluffs.

for the statement that both Knnis
and Stoppan! have been hiding in
Brooklyn since the failure. Both
dropped suddenly from public view
just before the crisis came and the
receiver has greatly desired an inter
view. "1 have been in communication
with representatives of Mr. Stop

crete developments today. I have
also communicated with Trcadwell
Cleveland, attorney for the suspend

the two men to emerge from their
seclusion and straighten out the firms
affairs."
Senator Patrick H. McCarren. who
has a blind, or numbered, account
with the firm is expected to call on
the receiver some time today, and
settle his account of $124,700. Mr.
Russell said that Senator McCarren
had promised a prompt settlement.

NEW YORK. April 19-The fold
iiug bed accident which used to be so
I common when beds were not so well
j constructed a now, caused the death
I of James F. Mayer a feather curler,
in Williamsburg yesterday. During
the night the bed began to rise as if
pushed by an unseen hand, pinioning
both Mayer and his wife, despite
their struggles and efforts to relieve
themselves. A son wai sleeping on
the floor above, heard his parents
cries and ran to their assistance but
before he could extricate them Mayer
expired. Mrs. Mayer was taken out
unconscious. She is little the worse
for the experience.
