Resolved, That the president of the

Mr.s M. McKenzie, corner Main and

Last night, says the Oregonlan, Eu
gene Shelby, manager of Wells, Fargo
& Company's express business in this
city, and I. Gumbert, a fish dealer, were
arrested upon a warrant Bworn out In
Justice Wood's court. Tha complaint
was made by H. D. McGulre, state
flsh and game warden, who charges
that the two defendants have violated
the game laws. Specifically, Mr. Shel
by is charged with accepting, and Mr.
Gumbert offering for transportation,
fresh salmon. This Is the outcome of the
decision of the express company to
handle salmon caught In Southern Or
egon, where the season is now open,
notwithstanding It Is against the law
to handle flsh caught in the Columbia
river. A hearing will be had before
Justice Wood tomorrow, and as there
is a desire on all sides to have the law
tested, the case will be carried up to
the supreme court, The stand taken
by Mr. McGulre Is indorsed by the
Oregon Sportsmen's Club, who are
urging him to push the matter. He
has also received an opinion from Attorney-General
Chamberlain, which Is
in line with his policy. The difference
between this opinion and the one ren
dered by the attorney-general a year
ago, Is on the question of season. The
law provided at that time for a "closed
season." Now it distinctly says
"closed season." Consequently he be
lieves that this applies to all parts of
the state, and that as there is a closed
season in Portland now, no salmon can
be handled here. It Is purely a matter
of the construction of the law, and the
arrests made were in friendly spirit.
It has been agreed to rush the matter
through as quickly as consistent, s
that for once 'and all the question can
be decided.
The finder will be rewarded by re
turning to this office a small opal ring
and no questions will be asked. It is
the gift of a decseased father to his
daughter, and is valued for its assocl
tions. Ferronal Mention. ..

Used in Millions of Home i 40 Years the Standard
Chamber of
Commerce Meet.
Regular meeting, of the. chamber of
commerce was held last evening, Mr.
WIngate presiding, E. C. Holden sec
retary. The following communication from
Mr. W. A. Story, of the Portland
Chamber of Commerce was read:
"Owing to the fact that the appro
priation made by the legislature for
the exhibition of Oregon produce at
the World's Fair was too small to
permit the commission to Issue a suit
able publication in quantities demand
ed for the occasion, a work to be
published under the auspices of the
Portland Chamber of Commerce was
Indorsed by the World's Fair com
missioners. This work will be descrip
tive of the natural resources, advant
ages and general Industries of this
state. Each section of the state will
be represented in an Impartial man
mer, as each section will be asked to
support the work in orctauthat a large
number of the books mayTJie Issued.
The work will be beautifully Illustrat
ed, and will contain reading matter
calculated to induce desirable immi
gration to the State of Oregon.
I would ask you to place this matter
before your honorable body at your
earliest convenience. Kindly inform
me of the date of your next meeting."
"In reply to yours of the 16th, would
say many thanks for giving kind at
tention to the matter. Inasmuch as I
will not be able to come to Astoria
Monday, Mr. W. L. Dudley, a member
of the Portland Chamber of Commerce,
who has been appointed to work with
me, will be in Astoria on Monday even
ing, and will ask permission to go be
fore your honorable body to more
clearly state the intending work for
consideration."
Mr. W. L. Dudley, also a member of
the Portland Chamber of Commerce,
who is on the same committee with Mr.
Storey, being present by Invitation, ex
plained more fully the Intention and
object of the Portland Board of Com
merce. On motion the matter was re
ferred to a special committee consist
ing of Messrs. Bowlby, Lewis and Tal
lant. The committee of timber experts ap
pointed at the last meeting to correct
a statement contained In the Puget
Sound Lumberman, as to timber in
Clatsop county, reported as follows:
"Your committee to whom was re
ferred the statement published in the
Puget Sound Lumberman ljlatlve to
the amount of standing timber in Clat
sop ccunty, bei to report as follows:
We have carefully considered the mat
ter and would state that any estimate
as to maximum amount of timber
standing In the county under existing
means of information can be nothing
more than conjectured, and entitled to
little credit. .
Estimates actually made vary ac
cording to locality, from 40M. to .200 M.
feet per acre. As a minimum average
we would not place the amount of
merchantable timber In Clatsop county
at less than 60 M. feet per acre."
The following communications from
Senators Dolph and Mitchell were
reai :
"I am Just in receipt of your favor
of the 21st, Inst., enclosing copy of
memorial of the chamber of commerce,
favoring the annexation of the Hawaii
an Islands.
"As you are probably aware, Imme
diately after the news of the revolu
tion was received here I made a speech
In the senate favoring annexation. I
was taken Blck Immediately after the
message transmitting the treaty was
sent to the senate, and have not been
able to be in the senate since, probably
will not be there again during the
present session. I understand, how
ever, that there Is no -hope of securing
consideration of the treaty during the
present congress, and I have great
fears that It will be killed by demo
cratic opposition. I shall do all that I
can to secure Its ratification."
1 beg respectfully to acknowledge
the receipt of yours of Feb. 21st, for
warding me a copy of resolutions re
cently adopted by your chamber, con
cerning the annexation to the United
States of the Hawaiian lsianas; an oi
which I shall bring to the attention of
the senate, and will give the same my
earnest attention. I am personally in
favor of annexation on proper terms."
Mr. James W. Welch presented the
following resolution, which was adopt
ed: Resolved.- That this chamber re
spectfully suggest to the honorable, the
county commissioners, to taKe into se
rious consideration the advisability of
providing a portable saw mill to be
used for the construction of plank
roads In this county. .
On motion, a committee of three,
with President WIngate as chairman,
was appointed to ascertain the prob
able cost of a portable saw mill, and
to procure such other statistics as may
be proper to lay before the county com
missioners in conferring on the subject
The meeting adjourned.
