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.

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. . .. - . , . - , :

SORROW OF
LOVER
"Ted" Ross, mo Played
"Third Base With The
Dalles Team of Inland
4 ; Empire. 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.

Millmen Organize to Fight
Reduction in Tariff on

Opposition to a downward revision of
th tariff on logs or lumber is to be
given voice by the lumber interests of
Oregon. At a meeting at the Commer

of representative tlmbermen. manufac
turers and loggers, it was decided) to
send two delegates to Washington to
appear before tne ways ana means, com
mittee of congress. In conjunction with
representatives selected by the lumber
interests 01 tjaiirornia ana wasntngton,
who have the same interests in view.
George H. Kelly, of the Booth-Kelly
Lumber Co.. of Euarene. 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

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

Th prospects are good that this
move will be allowed bv Judge Ganten-

of the sliver pieces looked as if It had

tarnished a if they had been carried In
a purse for many years. The dollar
bill Is comparatively -new.- Th silver
dollar bear the date of 1810.
Half dollar of the 1831 year ar
rather scarce, and coin collector say
that there is a premium on them. Ow

If it is found that Mr. Hill left the

SCOTT MAY BE
CUHETOmEER
Portland Editor Mentioned
Among Others for Sec
retary of Interior.
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
