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."

triotism of the meeting up to high ttnl.h
C. 3. 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

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

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

The meeting then adjourned subject t
the call of the chairman.
After the meeting was over a good

It was expected that Captain Pope, of
Portland, would be present as ex -Com
mamb r Lombard, who was written lo re
questing his presence at the meeting last
night, wrote to Secretary McLean stating
he would be unable to attend but that
Captain Pope had stated he would come
