GOBBLED UP BY FISH
Walter Seaborg Declares That With
in Few Years Public Will See 111
Results of Stocking Columbia With
.Foreign Fish.-: ' .'''
"T would like to see somebody get out
a big atlck for the fish commissioner
who authorised the stocking of the Co
lumbia river, with black bass, trout
and other fish foreign to the. waters of
the Columbia," aald Walter Seaborg of
the Seaborg racking company, Skaro
okawa. - . ' v v"
"The catch in tha Cplumbia river will
be short by (00,000 cases this year, and
white U la not due to the presence of
the black bass at thia time, future short
ages will occur because of their pres
ence in the river. ..
"l.have aeen men and boya fishing
along the river bank- thla year and won
dered what they were Ashing for. My
curiosity Anally got the better of me
and I made Inquiries. When I was told
that they Vera Ashing for black bass
I commenced to make calculations. The
fishermen use minnows for bait. They
have to get these from tba brooks and
email atreama and cannot help but pick
up a lot of young salmon In casting
about with tholr nets. These minnows
prove very attractive to tha bass and
they strike at them In a way that Is
disheartening to the packer. When the
Ash are swimming in the rrver looking
for Ash they are not particular aa to
the Identity of the food they eat and
scoop up the young salmon aa readily
aa they do chuba and shiners.
"There can only be one outcome from
thla stocking of the Columbia with
bass, and that la a great destructloa of
young salmon. As I said before, the
result may not' be noticeable at thla
time, but la future years there will be
a serious shortage In aalmon If the
bass continue to thrive tn the river."
- Mr. Seaborn- estimates that the catch
along tha coast will bo nearly 1,000,000
caaea short this year. He aaya that
the salmon seasons move in cycles and
that "every fourth year la the ond of
bmtMt nmtiflcaev. the other years be

Recurrence of foreet Area in Oregon
and Washington thla year la attracting
attention of eaatarn timber men and In
vestors, large numbers of whom are at
tha present time visiting In tha Paclllc
northwest They express surprise that
more effective precautions are not taken
and that laws are not more stringently
enforced for protection of the timber,
which la the greatest visible asset In
this countryv
Victor Thrane of . the timber Arm of
X D. Laeey Co., with of Acaa 1n Chi
cago . and New Orleans; who came to
Portland to look after timber mattera
for eestern clients, said:
"Traveling through . Waahlngton. I
have aeen forest fires that oould have
easily been atopped . In their earlier
stages' by using ordinary effort. - The
timber In the etatee of Oregon and
Washington la an Immensely valuable
asset for the people here and tha whole
ountry. To the eastern man It appears
that the moat - elaborate and careful
plana ahould be enforced for protection
of these forests. The railroad - com
panies, which will depend largely upon
thla Umber for their tannage for aome
years to come, might with wisdom do
what they could along their Unea to atop
flree whan first started. i
'Donkey Xngines Start Tires.
Many fires are started by sparks from
donkey engines In logging operation
It la eur obeervation, from experience
In the timber business,. that compara
tively few forest flrea are started by
campers. The" worst menace la the en
gine sparks and burning clndgra. Fires
that often destroy hundreds of thou
sands of dollars worth of timber might
be atopped at their inception by prompt
action on the part of section men or
other railroad employee who flrat dis
cover them. -The time will come when
every -tone who Ie Interested in timber
or lines of Industry affiliated with
lumber aha Ite transportation will" re-
cret that they did not expend more
money to maintain fire patrol and every
possible protection to the xoresta oi
Oregon and Waahlngton. At the rate
tha timber of the country ie oeing
sawed todav It la possible to count the
years when the visible supply of Umber
wut Be exhausted.
Xws Seed aaxoroemeat.
"It aeema to me that the main weak
neea of the present sltuaUon la tha lax
ity of enforcement of the lawa affecting
forest protection. Men .will get out and
work, and cheer foe the passage of lawa
to conserve tha American forest, and
after tha laws are passed they, will put
on their coats and go home, and forget
all about It The enforcement of the
eilatln statutes for forest protection Is
equally Important with the enactment af
better and mora atrfngeht laws. .'AS the
timber la out and consumed tha need of
protection Increases. The remaining ror
eats will inoreaae In value and their eon
serving will be still more important
The timber men. loggers, railroads, and
the atata are alike interested In this
(uestlon. None realises the terrible de
struction of values that result from 1
large forest fire nor the full Importance
of preventing It."
. Mr. Thrane aald that In the southern
statea forest fires are almost-unknown,
although the tinker la Inflammable be
cause of Ita large element or turpentine
and piteh. The forests are fired regu
larlv for tha Durooae of nurnlng out the

are kept clean and no fires are allowed

the authoritlea of Portland. Olympla and
Tacoma. waa arrested here yesterday
afternoon charged with passing bogus
oheoka mrU came - to Tacoma last
week and wsnt at once, to the offices of
clerks were- very busy and he was given
not tittle notice. Then be putup at the
finest hotel tn the city and gave out
that he wee the eon of William Whyte,
a high official of the Canadian Pacific
On the strength of thla he cashed checks
smountlng to about I0. Then the po
lice received a tip from the police, of
Portland,' giving a description, of the
man and asking that he be arrested.
The Portland police claimed that Whyte
had caahed bogus checks there amount
ing to moro than 11.000. When Whyte
was found he waa living on the beat In
the city. He waa .dressed In flashy at
tire and had run np debta at automobile
garagea amounting to III for tha hire
of "autoe." These be used to attend
tha races near Seattle and to visit the
army encampment at American lak.
He took hie arrest coolly and hired one
of the beat criminal lawyers in tha city
to defend him. To hla attorney he haa
already confessed that he Is not Whyte's
son and haa Intimated that cashing the
checks were ahady transactions. Whyte
Is engaging In manners and haa a cool
and steady assurance that wlna htf
point He , is apparently well versed in
financial and commercial matters, and
appeara to know all about the railroads
and railroad officials of the country, .
, It la believed that Whyte la thi
young man who operated . extensively
In Portland a short time ago under the
name of Drinkwater. - Drinkwater
rented automobiles, bought wine suppers
and arrayed himself In elaborate clothes,
paying for all with checks, which later
were dishonored. ' A warrant waa sworn
out for his arrest but be had left and
later It was learned that the man wtth
the elaborate Ideae of high finance had
taken the train te Tacoma,' ,'
It was reported In town ' today that
friends of Whyte or Drinkwater In Ta
coma were willing to settle his bills
there and take up his checks If the au
thorities would refrain from prosecut
ing him. In that event local authorities
Will secure requisition papers and aa
officer will be aeat to Tacoma to arrest
him... - .- -s-- -.' r,
