THE DAILY- ASTORIAN, ASTORIA, SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH 4, 1894. El The Question of Jurisdiction In the OLsen Case. JUDGE MC BRIDE'S OPINION A Subject of Unusual Interest to .Kffidents of Both Oregon awl Washington. Following in 11 copy of JucIko Mo Jirlde's deelBlon on the question of Juris 'dlction raised In the Olsen case. It will beound of unusual interest to owners of traps and fishermen on both sides of the river: State of Oregon vs. Christ. Olsen. Opinion of the Court.: The defendant is indicted under the Oregon statute of 18K1, for the offense of keeping his trap or pound net open mid in a condition for fishing, during the weekly close time, to-wlt, .in Sun day. Suld statute provides that it shall be a misdemeanor for nny person to so keep his trap open on Sunday anywhere upon the Columbia river. Tne evidence shows that the trap in question is situated quite a distance north of the main ship ;hannel of the Columbia river, and clearly within the territorial boundaries of the State of Washington. The motion is to discharge the de fendant upon the ground that the crime having been committed beyond the boundaries of this state, and the trap in question being a permanent structure attached to plies or posts driven into the bottom of the river, and therefore into the soil of the state of Washington, this court has no jurisdiction to try the offense, The motion Is further urged upon the ground that the state of Washington lins by law authorized the 'lesnslng of Jish traps or pound nets in the waters of the Columbia river, and that tha de fendant, having taken out his license In pursuance of such law, Is protected by said license. , The questdons raised by this motion are very delicate and difficult, and but little light Is afforded tha court by any previous decisions, none of them having . ever been called upon to adjudicate pre cisely a similar question to t!v one tit lar, The statute In question In this case is broad enough in its terms to embrace nny person fishing on Sunday by any means anywhere on the Columbia river. Whether within or without the terri torial boundaries of this state, n.nd un less said statute is void, as an invasion ftf the sovereignty of a sister state, the ruction to discharge the defendant must be overruled. The act of congress admitting Oregon into the union provides, among other t'n;igs, that the boundary between Ore gon and Washington shall be the mid dle of the widest channel of the Co lumbia river, "including jurisdiction m civil and criminal cases on the Colum bia river concurrently with the states fijiil territories of which said river forms a, boundary, in co.rnm.on w(th satd. Plate,'1 A further section of said act of ad mission provides "that the slate of Ore gon shall have concurrent jurisdiction upon the Columbia and all other rivers and waters bordering on stats of Ore gop, so far as they shall form a com iT'll boundary, etc, and all aald rivers and waters shall be common highways forever free to all the Inhabitants of said state," eta It is claimed for the defendant that these sections of the act of admission, jv"ilo they gjyg JursrUetp.n n civil fitiil criminal casts on tn coiunioia liver, are only sppllcable to boats and other craft floating or navigating said river; that such jurisdiction is only given to obviate the difficulty of prov ing the venue of a crime when It hap pened to be committed on some craft ji'iaftjig on th,e waters of the river, and provides for other exigencies oS like nature; that the words on the Columbia riven should be construed to mean "fjqallpff on thjj Columbia rlyer' PT I'p'ivjgafiug the Coluwhla river,'.' and that such concurrent Jurisdiction does poi attach cn a case of this kind, where ii! rap was ha nature of a perm.:'-r-rnt- fixture driven into the bottom, of tho river; that in such a case a trap be ing attached to the realty becomes part of th) soil of Washington, and not sub ject to our laws or regulations, and therefore no liability attaches by reason ff the same being kept open in viola lf't' of the" provisions of our fisting Is salii with u;uch force that if Wregon can regulate 'the fish traps on the Cclumhia river that Washington in rfguate he wharves of Astoria ?ili th iifrt racii? at Smim's poiftt, and Itfvy taxHts and licenses upon such U UCtUTrH. While conceding that this argument Is plausible and ntltled to serious con sideration, I am not prepared to admit Its coiTectness or to concede that a contrary holding would necetsarily lead tr the possible results predicted. These legislative grants of sovereign jf't'1or lu'br Construed ty'the same narrow rjiles tiat would be' applied to n .1 i - ... t - '" ' i a deed or" will, but should have a "broad crime committed at uny particular place, on one sldo or the other of the stale line, nnrl till dlfucUty, while it would perhaps be greater In the esse of a vessel floating upon the waters than In the ease of a permanent structure, would even in that case be very great "The middle of the main ship channel," "the middle of the widest channel," -are the terms used In the act of admission and in this broad river of shifting sands and changl lg channels. It would not in frequently be difficult, if not impossible, to determine for the practical purposes of a law case, on which side of such a variable boundary a particular struc ture might, be situated, but if the courts of either state could take jurisdiction, uncertainty would cause no Inconveni ence. Second, the provision that such river should be a public hijrhwav. forever free to the citizens of this state, would have been nugatory If there had been withheld from the legislature of this state the power of keeping such high way free and unobstructed. To protect this grant of a free and unobstructed highway upon the Colum bia river, congress granted to this state this concurrent Jurisdiction In civil and criminal cases, and in my judgment it has the right to regulate or entirely re move an obstruction placed in such highway, whether under the authority of a grant by the legislature of a sister state or otherwise. Take this particular case, for ex ample There has been Introduced in evidence by defendant the law of Wash ington territory authorizing the licens ing of fish traps on the Columbia river. Under its provisions allhat is neces sary la for Bonrj citizen to select any portion of the river he chooses, so that It Is north of the main or middle chan nel, and pay $10 and he must be li censed to build a trap. He may select the very center of a channel used for the daily purposes of commerce: there Is no restriction, no discretion granted to the fish commissioner. He must grant a license. Such a law is In its scope and policy so contrary to the provisions of our act or admission Into the union, so viola tive of the compact by which the wat ers of the Columbia river are made a public highway for all the citizens of both states, that I feel assured that It is wholly void and will no doubt be de clared so by the courts of the state of Washington, should that question .be brought before them. Third, another object of this grant of concurrent jurisdiction waa to enable either state to protect the fishing in dustries of the Columbia river. It has been held by the courts of the United States that the fish In a river are the common property of the citizens of those states along whose borders such rivers flow. The value of the Columbia as a sal mon producing river was well known when Oregon was admitted, and it is very reasonable to conclude that thl concurrent sovereignty on Uie river was granted in order that the legislature of this state might by. appropriate legtS' Ifttion preserve to the people of this state the free enjoyment of their share of this great source of wealth. The business of catching and prepar ing salmon for market has grown to be one of the most valuable industries of the Pacific Coast, and if a sister state can by legislation license the wholesale destruction of fish, or by mere inaction permit the business to be so conducted that the supply of salmon must inevit ably be destroyed In a few years, then it in effect is permitted to destroy the common property of the people of this state In the salinoH or the' Columbia river. It was not the intention of con gress to permit any state along the Co lumbia river to perpetrate such an in justice upon its own citizens and such an outrage upon ours, and it therefore gave to either state the risht to pro hibit apy act that wouia have such baleful consequences. I think the foregoing are the reasons that led congress to divide the sover eignty of the two states upon the Co lumbia river, and that upon those mat ters that are within the reasons of the act of admlsdlap, bot states, have a right to legislate for the protection of the common rights of theif citizens, and In tha very nature of things there W never be any conflict of Jurisdiction on these subjects; any legislation by either state in protection of these common rights is valid; any legislation, by either state jn derogation pf such rights Is void, and the courts of the United States stand as the common arbiter be tween the parties whenever there shall arise any apparent conflict. In this case there is no ral conflict. Defendant held a license from Wash ington territory that authorized him, or purported to authorize him, 1.0 rpajiiiain a fish t.ra&. Th "(aw cf Oregon did not pretend to deprive him of this right, but only provided that he should so use his property that the business of fishing should not be dx-Rtroypi, and this it had a perfect righ to qa anywhere up on th( Columbia rivep, The motion ta dsmis In overruled. OOOD POU UANIEU. An Ordinance Granting the Rlght-of-AVay for the Railroad. The following dispatch was received at this office last evening: "Itanler, March 3. The city council of Ranler passed an ordinance yester day afternoon granting a right-of-way to the railroad. Reports from different committees on right-of-way report good progress made. JAMES W. WELCH." COKItESPON DUN CIO. Additional Expressions of Opinion on the Question of Air. Braek hus' Inspiration. The following communication will ex plain Itself: Astoria, March 3, 1894. suitor Astorian: It is said that some people in this city compare Mr. Braet hus with Hans Nielsen Hauge, in Nor way, or Wesley in England, but this comparison is a poor one. In those men's time the churches of said states were fallen down to form Christianity or rationalism. Now, here in America, the true word of God Is preached just as the successors of the same church, Which Hauge raised his voice against, and none of the Scandinavian Lutheran churches are more anxious to preach the pure word and have worked more for the kingdom of God than Just that church, against which the Dano-Norwe-gian conference is raised as an opposl tl0"' LUTHERAN. BELIEVES IN BRAEKHUS. The "Inspired" One Finds a Vigorous Defender Dr. Janson's Letter Criticised. .. Astoria, March 3, 1894. To the Editor of ,The Astorian: It was a surprise to find a long article in yesterday's paper, written by Dr. Jan son, concerning Mr. Braekhus. The doctor has never examined the man, and how, then, can he pronounce him a monomaniac? We had expected at least that the case was worthy of examination before pronouncing the man insane. If that is the way the doctor practices, I would not recom mend him as a physician. I know there are different opinions; so It was with Christ, as some said: "He is good," while others said, "He has the devil," and as the doctor does not confess him self to be a Christian, we could not ex pect anything else. But the doctor would undoubtedly have done better If he had kept his wisdom to himself. Three of the best doctors In Seattle, Wash., have carefully examined Mr. Braekhus, but they could not find any Indication that he was a monomaniac. Dr. Janson speaks of hypnotic cures. Why does not the doctor resort to hyp notism In practice? The doctor speaks also of doing this man injustice. How does the doctor know? The doctors in Seattle told Mr. Braekhus to proceed, and that after careful examination. But Dr. Janson must be of the opinion, there would be quite a few converts, that's why the man ought to be prohibited from continuing, There might be many things to correct, but I will leave it to the citizens to judge themselves. A CITIZEN. ST. MARY'S HOSPITAL. THK RAILROAD QUESTION. The Statesman of Thursday has the following: "In conversation with a gen tleman yesterday in Salem it Is learned that the estimated cost of the main line of this new railroad, better known as the Astoria-Goble route, is $1,250,000. The distance is 57 miles, and the line i as surveyed will follow the Columbia! river so far as practicable. Supreme Judge F. A. Moore, of this city, at pres ent, was one of the principals In secur ing the right-of-way for this new line the judge was also the right-of-way agent for. the Union Pacific and Grea Northern In securing the route from th Columbia river to the Sound. A shoi distance from Coble Is Columbia City Columbia county, and within a few hundred yards of the Northern Pacific depot there are croppings of coal which show it to be of exactly the same quail ty as the Vernonla coal found for distance of about 15 miles west In the Upper Nehalein. valley. It Is still fur ther asserted that it is comparatively useless to go to the expense of con structing and equipping a branch line from the proposed new road to the Ver nonla coal fields when the same quality of coal can be taken froni the earth at a more convenient point" : PERSONAL.

ASTORIA GAS LIGHT CO. Astoria, February U 15.34. Since the year when St. Mary's Hos pital was opened (n Astoria, by their yearly reports, through newspaper men tion, but chiefly by the noble work of ministering to the sick, the hospital has become well known and appreciated by the people of Astoria. There is noth ing new to be said of the building, its convenience or its management, but the people within its walls come and go, an ever-changeful population, and no two vlslta to the hospital wards would ever seem alike. At present there are only 23 patients In the hospital, wlilch is a small number compared to the days when Astoria had'm.or(i shipping; then there would be, sometimes nearly 50, and, they would be from every point of the globe. A majority of the patients are Protestants, the nurse said yester day, and probably one-third are fe males. One of these was a Mrs. Thomp son, from up the Coast, who was roused out of a nap she was taking In an easy chair to see her visitors. She said she had, come to the hospital to be treated some time ago, and was getting along finely. She Insisted that her visitors should stop and talk with her. She was tired, evry tired, just for some one to talk to, she said; but she laughed gaily now that she was getting well, and seemed to be bearing the seclusion of a slck-roorrj very we.ll. Mh.
