There Is much concern amongst the union fishermen over the fact that locat ing piles have been driven at three differ ent point on the souih side of S.ind Isl and, preparatory to the building of flsh trups there this season. A meeting of the association has been called for March 2S. at which this subject will be taken up Governor Rogers of Washington has ill ready wired the department of Interior requesting the removal of these piles. In an interview yesterday. Mr. Wilson one of the best known union fishermen on the river, and who is thoroughly posted In regard to the situation, said to an As torlan reporter. -There may be trouble over this affair before very long." "The secretary of our union xtsiled Sand Island the other day and found that locating pile had been driven for three traps on the south side of Sand Island, two locations being abreast of the fllshermen's upier ranee light, and one abreast the lower ranee light. You under stand that the waters on the south side of the Island are navigable. We drift all over these grounds constantly. At high tide the sand forming the Island, except a comparatively small portion, are under water. Five hundred bouts are all over them every twenty-four hours and T'"1 nets and the live of lil men are at stake. When a storm conies we make a run for the- ands. where we can safely land our boats and net. 1' there are fish-traps and string of piles In Lie way you can readily see that not only our property ts In danger of loss and damage, but our very lives are Imperilled. We will make a fight to get these piles out of the way. If we can pull them out by machinery even then the ground will bo so disturbed as to make it dangerous, but if we have to chop the idles off. the stumps re maining are liable to tear our nets or put a hole In our boats. "I believe that there ts a decision of the t'nlted State court that even the owner of such land can not obstruct navigable waters or place building or other erec tions in such position as to endanger life and property. 1 understand that Ander son Brother of Chinook are the partic who have driven these lo ntlng pib-s an! propose to build trap. You may rest as sured that we will not atand It and will take uch steps a may be necessary for our ow n protection If we get no assistance from the government In time to be of benefit. We believe the people to be with us in keeping the channel un the south side open." Agent Lounsbcrry. of the O. U. at N . yesterday commenced cleaning house In the offices on the dock.

Wright was chosen chairman, and Secretary McLean read the report of the last ni.etmg and announced that appli cants had signed the roll. Mr. J. P. Clarke, then made some re marks relative to the method to be pur. sued In order to form a naval reserve and the law the members were to be gov erned by when mustered into service. C. W. Fulton was called tiitott and made a patriotic and rousing teoch touching upon different phase of tue complications between the l'nltc1 States and Sln and the applause that greeted, his remarks when dwelling on the condign punishment that should he mectod out to the Spanish people should war ever lie declared be tween the two countries shook the mart house building to Its foundation and met the approval of everyone in the audlen e. "Little war scares like these," said Mr Fulton, "show what our cboos are do ing, snow wnat our educational Innttu- lions are doing, and now what kind or material we have In the country." Mr. W A. Sherman then made a few re marks showing to what extent he thought the naval reserve would come under the laws governing the state militia Mr F. D Wlnton made a brief speech, but full of iiatrtotu- fire and eloquence He declared ihat. "every young man owes a duty to his country In times of war or threatened warfare, and I believe no iltlien would rush to the rescue of the Mag qui. ker than the nu n who wore the gray during the rebellion. I do not be lieve." s.ild Mr. Wlnton. "that war will be declared, but If It should be. the gov ernment responsible In blowing Into etern ity tiearlv soul of American cit liens j In the harUr of Havana would be in fill ted with such punishment as she would I never forget." Mr. M F. Ilardesty said: ' I m le S im should not he so particular as M who shouid shoot a Spaniard, and those who have once served their country should be given an opportunity to do so again, and should nut If barred by the age limit." The opinion was then quite generally expressed that old soldier. If otherwise physically ipialtflc!. would not l ex cluded from Joining the naval reserve, whereupon Mr. Wlnton stepped up to the desk and signed the roll, hi act bringing expressions of regret from, some Grand Army men present thai their advanced age would not Justify them In Joining. County Judge Gray and Chief Stockton, of the tire department, then made sumc well chosen and patriotic remarks, which went to show that If the opportunity would come to shoulder the musket nil the patriotic xeal of the obi days would again burst forth In all It brilliancy. Sheriff Hare also made some timely and patriotic remarks. Seventy-one had signed the rull and on motion the secretary was instructed to forward to Adjutant-General II. II. Tut tie. of Portland, application to he mus. tered into the navy. A motion was carried that a lommitic of three be appointed to solicit name for the naval reserve.
