The determination of the state fish commission to allow Astoria fisherman to catch shad and salmon in Young's bay and the Lewis & Clark river, con trary to law. has stirred uo Willamette and Clackamas fishing interests. According to a leading packing in terest who operated on the CoUMnbla riven the commission has no-authority to set aside a law of the legislature :o open a stream for salmon fishing. How ever, the law provides that the eOmnils sion can close any stream for hatchery purposes. While the law does not close the Wl' lamette and Clackamas rivers to sal mon' fishermen during the same period as the Columbia Is closed, the fish com mission has. during recent seasons, is sued a proclamation closing them for hatchery purposes. - This Is said by Willamette river interests to be done at the instigation of the-Astoria people. "in this action onenlne the L,ewlB & Clark river as well as Young's river to snad ana salmon nsnlna- the state com- irrt ssrtont!HHp"rR cTttfly 7e v e fScd "TfSel f7 says riooert o. rarreu or tne Pinsr Rock Packing company. "It was claimed that - the Willamette was closed - for hatchery purposes but there Is also a hatchery on Young's river and yet that stream is being opened contrary to th! law." Fresh fish dealer of this c ty are considerably agitated over the matter and say that a test case is likely to be made. "Astoria gets everything it wants from the fish commission," say one dealer, "while- Portland and the rest of the state, which pays the ma jority of the taxes to support the in dustry are compelled to get inferior salmon from Puget sound ami the Sac ramento river In order to supply their needs. Otherwise they might buy As? toria canned salmon." local straight. 14.0604.25: bakers' J4.S0 4 6"; export grades, 13.80.
