gram nyt in part:
"Whether in carrying forward their
plana to extend the Oregon Trunk
railway from Hend to K la moth I alls
and on to a connection with the W rut

the Ureal Northern-Northern I'ncific
group, owners tit the Oregon Trunk,
will lie permitted to connect with (lie
Southern I'ncifii-'a KIu ninth Kails
KugcDe cutoff at Udell Junction and
enjoy common tmer rights on ill

interstate commerce communion to
solve.
"A week ago the Oregon Trunk ni

"Whether it is public policy to build

that will probably be brought up be

Klnmnth Falls line.
"The activity of the Northern lines
In planning for mi early start on the
proposed extension from Item! to
Klamath 1'n I Is and on to California is
an indication of the determination of
the Great Northern-Northern Pacific
group to curry forward the ambitious
prcgraui of the late James J. Hill to
provide a line of railway from the Co
lumbia river, east of the Cnscade
mount aim-, to the Western PacifV
!ine on San Francisco bay. Such a
connection would ha a challenge to
the Southern pacific and Union Pa

vals a large part of the traffic mov
ing between California and the Nor
thern tier of stales."

PORTLAND, May 1.1. Details of
a running night battle of guns and
blows on the lower Clacks inns river,
in which wardens nnd alleged fish
pirates suffered slight injuries, were
related yesterday when tho men un
dor arrest entered a plea of not guilty
before Judge Jrfwis at Oak (J rove.
The boats drifted nlmost a mile
down the river during tho fight, which
lasted about half an hour, and which
ended when tho wardens, with their
boat damaged by a pike pole and leak
ing, managed to make fast to that of
the fishermen and to clamhor aboard
nnd moke the arrests. Shots were
freely exchanged, although the offi
cers were under orders to shoot to
cripple the boat rather than to hit
the occupants.
Arrest was the result of the open
declaration of F. M. Brown, chief dep
uty game warden of the state, that
salmon "bootlegging" was a common
practice and that pirates were in
vidiag forbidden territory with nets
an 4 selling the fish to Portland deal
ers. U Is lawful to fish for salmon
only with hook and lint in the Clack- j
anisa at the present time. Wardens
contended In court today that the two1
men under arrest, Tuffy Hussell of
Oregon City and Bun Woodward of
Park Place, were a part of a salmon
"bootlegging" ring nnd that they had
interrupted activities which took
thousands of fish from the river. I

lish a bank on Sandy Boulevard, in
the Hone City park district of Port

necessary for a new bank to accumu
late in a short time deposits in excess
of $500,000 and he doubted U 'his
could bt done. He said two other
applications for banks in that district
bad previously been turned down, lie
expressed the opinion that Oregon is
over-banked now.
Mr. Uidditigs said be bad the sig
natures of about 1,000 business men
and other citizens of the community
on his petition who were not satisfied
with their prenent banking - connec
tions because of the long distance of
the banks from their district, lie
said his propused bank would hare a
