It's' all because the compromise road ; " measure, which combines the good ; ij points and removes the features not .-oDjectea to in tne Barrett bill, wnicn , '"passed the senate, and the Hurd bill t. which passed the house, the composite being called the Barrett-Hurd bill lp -compliment to both, Is almost word for word the same as H B. 13, which Reames Introduced on the first day of J, ? the session. ., , Eut H.

The "Barrett Mil, on the other hand, put i I,' not only the cabling oi elections but i' the spending' of the., money entirely in the hands of the cepnty court. Oppo- neuts of the Hurd plan urged that it , would prove so cumbersome In a:ilon as . ii, to make any bond issue Impossible, while against the Barrett bill It was declared that it did not safeguard the ; interests of the taxpayers. ;! After all this was threshed out be fore the Joint committees they ellmln I ated the county convention plan, and i adopted the Ban ett plan of having elec i, tiona called by the county court At ( the same time they lifted out of the f'Hurd bill a section requiring that the j. road Improvement . desired, and the t money to- be spent on It, must be spj- cincaiiy stated on the ballot , This was exectly the plan that the t Hcames bill had featured. Whea "Reames pointed, it out to the confer i. ance committees, tfiey offered to call the , compromise ; the Reames-Barrett- ,,Hurd bill, but he laughingly declined !ut now he Is wondering if the fact , that bis bill was No, 13 didn't have ' sorsetiiag to do with its cad and early . j, aeain. .

(Staff Oorreponlonee.l Salem, Or., Feb. 10. If the of floe ot county judge Is abolished by the present leglslature .lt will apparently be under a compromise measure that will leave all county Judges in office until the next general election In 1914. , . , This amendment to tha Latourette bill, which substitutes the superior court system In Oregon for the present cir cuit courts, and would legislate county judges out of office as soon as the bill becomes a law, will be recommended by the Judiciary committee of ,t the house which now has the bill under considera tion. Latourette Is a member of this committee and the amendment haa bis approval. There are S4 county Judges in Oregon. and they and their friends have de veloped a powerful opposition ' to the measure In its original form. Many of the Judges were elected In 1911, after arduous campaigns, and they declare it would be unjust to thf m to abolish their office and salaries within a few months after they had been elected to serve four years. By giving them two years In of fice it is hoped to allay much of their opposition. Tha full terms of many other county judges will expire in 1914.

Feb. 10.i-Tha old warfare old, almost, as the Oregon legislature, Is an again, at this session between the almon .fishing Interests of tha unnar na lower iioiumoia river. For a while, at least, tha hmmn wii bs tha battleground of the conflicting lnteresta' though the senate will takj us turn jater. All legislation to reeu lata salmon fishing one way or another so rar introduced haa been in the house. For many years there haa been ereat bitterness on the part of the big fishing interests or tne lower river, against mosa or. me upper river. r This bitter nesa at present la chiefly directed against seufert, the so-called salmon baron of the upper Columbia, whose seines and fish wheels do a big business. . Alleged Sins of Seufert's Men. Tha lower river men declare that the upper river Is the natural spawning ground 01 me uiinooK salmon, and that Seuferfa seiners, dragging their heavy seining nets along the sands and shal lows, not only catch fish In the regular spawning season, but destroy tons of eggs already epawned. Curiously enough, a , Representative Anderson is leading thft fight on both sides. A. A. Anderson of Clatsop is uirecung me Dattie against Seufert and nis seiners, while J. E. Anderson of Wasco la defending tha urner river fish. ermen and introducing retaliatory mea sures to regulate lower river fishing. Zf All tha Bllla raised-. Just aa a sample of tha extent to which the warfare has gone there aco Dins in me legislature at Present that would prohibit almost all salmon fishing in dowi me upper and lower Columbia rivers. Anderson of Clatsop made the first move by his bill to lengthen the autumn closed season on the upper river betweea cascade locks and the mouth of the ueBchutes, from August 25 to Septem ber 10, as it now stands, to December 81. This would ittoD all fall flahln In the upper river.' -Anderson declaroa that he wants to be fair, but that the present fall open season In the upper river takes the fish right in their spawn- ng season. Hla bill also lengthens the fall closed season en the lower river for 16 days, or until September 15. uarperrter of Multnomah has taken a hand In the fight by another" bill to prohibit seining at any, time between Cascada Locks and The Deschutes. Some representatives profess to see in this bill strife between .Seufert and Taffe, an upper river fish wheel man, who, it is declared, w6uld be benefited by the prohibition of seining. .Both Carpenter and Taffe, however, have vigorously denied that Taffe haa any Interest in the measure. Swatting tha Ziower Kirer. In retaliation for these proposed measures twq bills have been Introduced If Anders6n of Wasco that .would put a mighty crimp In the salmon fishing industry on me lower river. One- of these prohibits any seine, set net or kM net fishing in the Columbia river west of the mouth of the Willam ette, from July IB, 1913, to July 15, 1918. Under' this measure trap fishing would still be permitted. Anderson of Wasco says that he, too. Intends to be fair, but that If upper river fishing is prohibited to save salmon, then it should be stopped likewise on the lower river to make a tfood job of It. Anderson haa another bill, proposed "in the Interest of navigation," that would stop all gill net fishing on the Columbia river bar, The gill net fish ermen, he says, are often a menace to navigation. These measures will be fought odit and both interests heard at a meeting of tha house fisheries committee to night It is pretty certain to be a lively affair. But .whatever solution the house reaches will have tg, be threshed out again In the-senate, so that the strife Will be prolonged. .;,v;, i ' : . , ' (Staff CorreiDoodcnra.)
