Mr. McCue also predicts . that there will bs a long and fierce fight, In the next legislature to procure some ade quate fish legislation for the control of the salmon Ashing on the i Columbia river.-- The passaae of the two rival flsh bills has put both the upper river and the lower river fishermen in the position of not being able to pursue their business without bumping agalnat hostile legislation. In order to brlnar order out of the tangle It will be neces sary for the legislature to take a de cided hand in the controversy and en act definite legislation for the eontrnl Of tle industry on the whole river, which law. will--be Just to both upper and lower river men. "It looks to me as though there will be a big and bitter fight over -the enact ment Of fish legislation." said Mr. Mc Cue, "it Is up to the legislature to pass a just and' adequate law to protect the Industry of both the utmer and tha lower river.
