Thursday:
With the solemn warning of Hol
land ringing In their oars that if
tioy took such action, it would be
uvldanco on Ha faca that they hnd
loft their consciences at homo, and
lit timely injunction of Huclmiian
that ouperlenca has demonstrated
flint ah dffort to destroy a nioaaure
pafMfOd by the people, "though It be
false and pernicious as hell," will
surely bring U punishment, 32 mem
ber of tho house this morning voted
repeal the initiative enactment
closing the Hogue river to all oxcupl
hook and line fishermen.
This Is tho first time In Orogon
legislative history that either branch
of tho IfiglBlaturo has had tho tomor
Ity to overthrow tho law or tho peo
ple. The excuse generally otrorod
was that, owing to a lack of under
standing of tho Initiative law, the
people bad put out of business tho
Ilumo cannory at the mouth of tho
Rogue river, roprosontlng lnterosts
worth $250,000, in the Interest of "a
few hook and line anglers." Tho fal
lacy of this argument, said tho oppo
nents of tho bill, lay In tho fact that
the pooplo wore woll awaro of what
thoy wore doing as tho purport or tho
mouHiiro was plainly printed In tho
initiative petition, and thnt If time
showod a mlstnko had boon made It
would bo up to tho peoplo and not
tho legislature to rectify the orror.
Tho effects of this defiance of tho
will of tho pooplo, aa a result or the
indofntlgablo labor of the big lobby
which has been maintained In Salem
by tho Ilumo cunning Interests alnco
tho bill In uuestlon, No. 218 on tho
calendar, by Pierce, was Introduced,
will bo fnr-roachlng and affect many
parts of the state Horn a political
standpoint. Ona of I ho most sur
prising features or the nrralr Is that
tho appoal.of Westerlund, tho .lack-,
Mm county representative, .nut to tri
te thwart the will ,of the peoplo and
his explanation that the initiative law
is good and finds favor In southern
Oregon were not heeded, evon by
many members of the Multnomah
delegation olectad on tho Stutuniont
No. 1, direct primary and Initiative
anil referendum platrorm. The list
of proponents of tho bill to over
throw tho people's law Includes the
names of Chatten, Ambrose, Bryant,
Clemens, Cole and Fonts.
The debate was opened this morn
ing by Thompson of l.ake, who M
aartod that by the passage or Uio Ini
tiative law cloalng Rogue river prop
erty lutereata worth ft quarter of a
million dollars had been put out or
bualueaa. He explained that if It
were possible for a mistake to be
made under the initiative the people
in tills case had erred. The law was
Uaaaed, he represented. In the Interest
of a few auglera and works a grave
Injustice.
Pbuta, reaffirming his aduereuce
to the principles of the Initiative ami
referendum, esproaaed the belief that
lo people had made a "alight mis
take." tha. Htuue way aa the legisla
ture la likely to make "grave mls
takea," and that us he had beeu tin
uortuned In the Interest of Justice
U rectify that blunder of tho people,
lie had arrived at the conclusion that
la entire Initiative law relative to
Ule Rogue river should he repealed.
"The people knew what they were
ilolUK wheii they voted in faor of the
Initiative law," declared Weaterlund.
"Titer are well satisfied with the law
Of It exists. If an trior has been
made let the people, who thua ex
preaaed their decision, correct It.
Thirty thousand persons In southern
Oregon are behind the Initiative law
ga against the canning Interests."
Cole asked Pierce several Ques
tions relative to the difference In the
habits of the ohlnook salmon and of
BUMlhoad trout, which he also called
salmon, and the method of catching
them in relation to the uae of neta.
Hooka and lines. On bolus answered
ha Mid he would support the bill to
"remedy the injustice done."
"The uiembera of this house should
remember that under tho Initiative
ovw. vtter in Oregon is g legisla
tor." dt( l.ired nuchaii.it), In oppoalUg
Pierce's u 1. "Whether the law la

Clemens said the legislator oxlsts

purpose of the Initiative measure, he
contlniiod, It would novor havo been
passed. Two thousand porsons
wore mild by hlni to havo petitioned
for the ippnal of the law.
"Yes," remarked Huchaiinti, "hut
nearer 200.000 persons voted on It
under the Initiative."
Clemens lepllod that ho is govern

"Nor do 1 euro anything about

Holland declared that nil those who

added that It Is a dangerous thing to
try to overthrow the expressed do

"I brought my conscionco with

Is why I am not under a bunion of

For tho hint four or five niglita n tail

peculiar actions. Thosu who wore
forced to leave their homes, despite
the inclemency of tlio weather, did
so in fear mid trembling, not know
ing to what extremes the peculiarly
nt'lintr prowler might do.
Tlio follow in his mysterious ruiu
blingH remained close to tlio forces,
