H. Hudson of the Graots Pass Fisherman's Union. The essential purpose of Mr. Farley's visit was to eoliit tbe reoperation and support of tbe members of tbe local union in behalf of the Webster bill, which seeks to protect the fishing in terests of the lower ooonrty by elimina ting Sunday fishiog. to redooe the sice of tbe gill net and aelne and to increase thesixe of the meshes of the fish wheels so the small fish may es cape. Mr. Farley says that the Webster bill does not create a tax, nor does it seek to put the smaller fisbemen'ont of bus I oees. Oa the other hand the large packing companies pay the tax which pays the expense of the fish warden and deputies, the expeoses of th hatcheries and the distribution of the the fish throughout the streams of the state. The Warren Packing do. pays a tax toward the maintenance of the s ate fl.heries of nearly $5000 ananually while Seufert Bros, at Tbe Dalles pay 14000 and the MoGowan Bros, pay aboot 13500. Of coarse the smaller fishermen pay ao annual tax of 5. Mr. Failev is most enthnsia-tia in his support of the smaller fishermen of tne state and commends the supDort oi tne we outer Din as the most effeo tive measure at this time.
