NEWS OF THE WEEK li i Cwftied Fin Portland, Feb. 5.— By agreement be­ tween the lawmakers of Oregon and Washington, reached at a concurrent committee conference held in this city bills w ill be introduced within a few days in the Oregon and Washington legislatures recommending that no sal mon fishing be allowed on the Colum bia river between 6 o’clock p. tn. Sat unlay to 6 p. m. Sunday, during the summer open season, whicli it is plan ned w ill extend from April 20 to Au gust 20. The hills will shorten the present open season five days fin April and five days in August. The proposed bills w ill make the closed season from March 15 to April 20 and from August 20 to September 10. The present law makes the closed seasons from March 16 to April 15 and frm August 26 to September 10. The lengthening of the closed season and abolishing Sunday fishing are tire principal features of the measure agreed upon by the members of the concurrent committee from the Oregon and Wash ington legislatures, appointed to frame a bill to be passed by the lawmakers of Che two states for the protection of Columbia river salmon. One of the principal objects of a later committee which this committee re commended will be the attempt to de vise a plan to make a fishway around Celilo falls, so that the salmon can easily get into the upper Columbia.
