DISCUSS LAWS TO PROTECT : SALU1 Representatives of Rival Factions of Columbia River Fishermen Appear Before Committee of Ore , gon Commission. ' , Rival salmon fishermen from the lower and upper Columbia river wer given a chance to ray what legislation they thought desirable to protect the almon Industry at a hearing befor th fish committee of the Oregon com mis Ion tor the Conservation of JNaturaJ Resources yesterday afternoon. Each of the two factions of fishermen and salmon packers represented at the meet ins. unanimously uruA (hit th V. Igencle of the salmon Industry demand ed that tha member of the other be kept from fishing In the waters of the Columbia. The committee, was unable -to decide, however, whigh faction put up .the better -argument and another meeting will be held tomorrow after noon. Richard W. Montague, chairman of . uia nsn commiuee, and F. K. Wilson represented the committee, which met In Mr. Montagu' offloe, while H. XI. Lorntsen, secretary of the Fishermen's union at Astoria, representing the lower river fishermen, F. M. Warren of the warren Peaking company, F. A. Seu- - ri, uii uig usn wneel operator ana almon packer of The Dalles, Stat Flab Warden E. & J. MeAMster and Henry O'Malley, superintendent of the United States r(ipinpH at a f -t n...nn riv ail spoke. T. M. Sanborn and Bamuei """' w iuii, wuo were to nave as sisted In the gill-net aide of tha ara-u. merit, were unable to be present, but pruuauiy om aere tomorrow arier noon. Mr. Warren, speaking tn favor of leg islating against glU-net fishing, said that an average of 14 Uvea had been lost each year, through bar fishing. He thought tha fish could be caught more safely within the bar. Mr. O'Malley said he waa In favor of having two ciuwm seasons a spring ana a rail sea son, tha latter to begin August 1 and continue to September 10. The closed seasons -said Mr. O'Malley, should last while the fish are running. Mr. OUalley Sidesteps.' Asked to "mix" In the dispute over which 'kind of flshlag gear was the most , destructive, Mr. O'Malley said he did not care to go Into the delicate ques tion further than to say that he did not believe tn abolishing any of the fishing gear, but instead believed In res. ulatlng Its .use. Ha said that he ap- S roved of Mr. Beuferrs plan to have ams constructed across tne lower ends of all Irrigating ditches, and the es tablishment of stations there for col lecting the fish. It waa generally agreed that the Irrigating canals form one of tha' roost .. serious menaces to the salmon of the Columbia rivet Mr. O'Malleysaid he thought coopera tion between Washington and Oregon a food . thins; In bringing aoout uniform tsh laws, but believed that federal control of tha fisheries would be beat of all because of the superior advan tages the federal government , enjoys for tha enforcement of Us rules. He said he would advise setting 'tha Clackamas river aside as a hatching stream and did not think It would seri ously hurt those who have boon Ashing on tne Clackamas because of the prox imity of the. Willamette to the Clacka mas nv uunsiurrcu tne amount ox nsn taken annually from the Clackamas to be a very small Item, anyway, and. did not think the closing of the stream would work any great hardship. Asked concerning the effect of tha flume at Oregon City on salmon coming oown stream irom a Dove tne tails, Mr. O'Malley said that very few. fish aver got through the flume alive. H inougnt it mignt oe a good thing to nave the nsn from the- McKeni e flsh hatchery liberated below the Oregon City falls. Instead of above them. He cau tioned against liberating lha flsh. too near salt water, however. Mr. Seufert suggested that It would be a good thing to establish a flsh hatch. ery at the mouth of the Deschutes river, where there is 'clear water and gooa steamer and rail facilities. 'An other advantage in the favor of the Deschutes is that it la a natural salmon stream. Pewer Pish Xseapa Vow. When asked by Mr. Montague If they did not think the number of salmon that escape tne wneeis ana tne nets and run back to sea la decreasing each year, the fishermen answered affirmatively, al though Mr. Warren said that many mora fresh flsh were being used now than formerly, from 300,000 to 600,000 cases having been sent annually from the Co lumbia river, besides those canned, pickled and froxen. . He ssld It was sur prising how well the catch was keep ing up. Mr. Lorntsen, quick to pick up tha flove, said it was not surprising at alL t was because the big packers ware sending out cheap and inferior flsh of a kind they would not have looked -at soma years ago. Ha said that one year long ago they had, sent out 300.000 cases of absolutely perfect salmon, but didn't do that any more. - -- "I know 40,000 of. those cases were not all picked, choice flsh because I stamped them myself," said 'Mr, War ren. Mr. Beufert thought' the Chinook sal mon catch has increased within the past few years . A spirited argument ensued between the upper-and lower river fishermen, as to whether salmon head up stream or down stream and whether they always wtm against tha current or not Mr. Seufert contended they always did swim against tha current. Mr. Lorntsen asked if the rule applied to the ocean too. Mr, Seufert said It did. "Then," said Mr. Seufert, "how . do they tell there's a current?" -Mr. Seufert begged the question by challenging Mr.. Lorntsen to tell of one single Instance where a salmon had awum down stream. Mr. Lorntsen said ha caught on In his nets once that waa Then Mr. Beufert told of a yearling nalmon that he had brought up from tbo egg and that he keeps in a glass nquarium In his house at The Dalles. The aquarium is placed so that the water In It runs from west to east in stead of from east to went, as does the water in the Columbia. This does not' affect the salmon, which, although it has never known what It la to be out of captivity, faeea eastward for six months in the year, then turns around and fares westward, for the other 'six months. YitafcfttAft : alia 1,1mA i This, contends tna salmon expert, shows .that Instinct makes the sabnon go up stream six months and then turn around and go westward tha other six months. . , .. . . "Unless some one frightens this Sal mon, said Mr. Seufert. "It never changes its position, in spite of the run ning wafer;'r . ; The committee had to ask the fisher repeatedly to stop wrangling over the advantages of wheels and gill nets and to come down to business; Mr. Montague said he had acquired some useful in formation, however, and thanked both lower, and upper river fishermen for answering the questions of the commit tee. . .. - . , . - , : Page 1st section saved from' the fire.

Baseball League, Takes Carbolic Acid. Burt Ross,, who played third base on Tha Dalle team of the Inland Empire league last season, and who la said to have been ona of tha most expert egg' candler In the United State, commit ted suicide last night by drinking car bolic acid In a downtown saloon. Boss, whose Christian name was Burt, but who waa commonly known as "Ted," was In lov -with ar young 'woman -In The Dalles, It Is understood. Though he was t member of a Los Angeles fam ily of good standing, the girl's father objected to the marriage of Lis daughter to a ballplayer, insisting that Ross snouia nave more money oeror consia ering matrimony. Ross evidently destalred of ever mak Ing his home run. About tha close of the ball season one of his feet became affected by blood poison, and he was unable to work at his trade of egg candling, In which ha made good wages each' winter. For this reason he ob tained a lob -as an attendant in the Soolroom of Keith A Downs, at 10 H lxth street, and it was here last even in he swallowed the acid. At 6 o'clock Ross asked "Suck" Keith for a sheet of writing paper.1 He waa aeated at a table In the bar at the time. A moment after the paper was handed him, Ross was heard to say, "Well," here's how." Thinking that Koss had ordered a drink for him also, Keith turned, but seeing no class at his elbow looked back at Rosa. .The ballplayer waa holding out an empty bottle, and an Instant later fell to the floor. The patrol wagon was called, 1but Ross expired before St. Vin cent s hospital was reached. Besides writing the address of his family in Los Angeles. Ross had beun a - note- as follows: "To the fellows: Things have been breaking so bad" At this point he had evidently recon sidered his intention and Instead of con tinuing had swallowed the acid. Ross, who waa about 80 years old. had been rooming tn the Green River house, on Fifth street, in company with H. Herbert. His brother is the oroorletof of the Fashion livery stable, in Los An geles, wnere other memoers or tne fam ily reside. The body was taken to the Dunnlnc morgue, after an Trtvestleatlon had been made by J. J. and Crogan Dun ning, deputy coroners.

Is tha chair man of the Oregon committee having th matter in charge, and has been au thorized to name tne men who will go to vvainington to present tne position of the Oregon lumber Interests to the congressional committee. Sentiment is said to be unanimous in favor of pro testing against the removal or reduction of the duties on logs or lumber products Imported from Canada or other foreign countries. The ways and means committee of tne house will meet on November 30 to begin the hearings on tariff revision. This made it imperative that such ac tion as might be determined on should be taken without delay.

By John E. Lathrop. Washington, Nov. 7. That Harvey W. Scott of Oregon wants a cabinet po sition or a ministry abroad Is believed here. At this stage In the deliberations of course all probabilities are unknown excepting to Insiders. But it has been noised around Washington that Scott seeks the appointment either as secre tary of the interior department or as an ambassador. It is known that his friends have several time uraed him in pa at year for one of these positions, and tnat after it became apparent that me senaiorsmp was not in nis grasp, he was believed to be a serious candi date for recognition by the president. That any concerted movement by the far western states would almost forco Judge TaXt to assign one cabinet posi tion to a man from that region Is- gen erally conceded. It Is admitted that It Is hard to leave the two thirds of the continent that lies west of Iowa with out an sdvlser at the official council board. The Interior department Is the most natural place for a western man. No state east of the Mississippi river has more than a modicum of business In the Interior department, while all to the west have much. George KniKht. a California lawvar. Is regarded as a candidate for a cabinet position: so the Pacific coast haa Scott. Bellinger of Seattle and Knight as can didates for the Interior department, with Scott perhaps willing to accept a forelan mission instead If ha eajinot land- the secretaryship., The Bellinger boom arrived yester day, and has already attained large pro portions, niumerous correspondents nave called at mv office to iret tha his tory of Balllnger'a career, they regard ing the suggestions of Balllnaer for the Interior portfoHo as one of the serious quantities In Taft's cabinet making. Scott's boom began today, resulting in a revival of the stories of the former effort made In his behalf here. CRACKSMEN BLOW SAFE AT GRESHAM Some time Saturday morning the safe tn Lewis Ehattuck's general merchan dise store at Greaham waa blown open with nitroglycefln and $200 In caah taken by' robbers. Three aenarata charges of nitroglycerin were used by the cracksmen, the first shattering the outer door of the safe, the second de stroying the inner door, and the third opening th money drawer. The men cited aapka of flnnr In front of the safe to muffle the explosions, and their ability In th safeblowing line la shown by the fact that the sounds were not loud enough to create an alarm. Many people live near by, and some of them were aroused bv a noiat about 1 o'clock In the morning, but no one took the trouble to Investigate.
