LEADING
HNS
OF STA1E FAVOR
GAM
EMISSION
(luii.Nctbury who eloquently plead
ed tMo ctlrtse of llio Roriio river nnp
Inns mid the risli it ml Kruno commits
iilon al Allien), Btntwi that tho meeting
of" HpVrtrfriicn hMil Wednesday nlnht
wfti a foitHttiR one, completely fllllnR
tho ennto chnmhi-r. Itcnrosontntlve
men from All pnrtu of tho stnto were
present nud tho Bentlnient In favor of
rtlMnlng tho commission and the
present system of handling 'tho funds,
overwhelming.
From Portland came a special train
load of sportsmen, including anglers
and hunters, from Kastcrn Oregon
camo delegates representing sportR
jnen and fanners and from tho Wil
lamette valley and tho several dis
tricts of southern Oregon and from
tho coast countries camo various
groups from divers walks of life.
Telegrams from Klamath Falls, Lake
View and remote sections showed tho
sentiment from those regions.
Tho sportsmen from Portland
urged protection, so that tho game
may bo preserved as a natural asset of
the state ahd made to yield n revenue.
Blv IIIIIn Offered
Tho committee, had before It two
senate bills' and four house bills, cov
ering every angle of tho fish and
game Bu'bjcct Tho speakers talked in
a general way on iho Schuebel bill
now In the hoiise, providing for aboli
tion of the fsh and gamo commission
ax at present constituted and for the
appointment of tho master fish war
den aud tho master game warden hy
the governor. This measure also con
templates tho transfer of the fish and
gamo funds now raised by fishing and
taunting licenses, Into tho general
lund. The sportsmen vigorously,
consistently and unitedly opposed this
plan. The farmers generally com
mend it.
The side of tho hunters and fisher
men was presented at tho outset by
A. E. Gebhardt, of Portland. Ho was
followed by Senator Duller of The
Dalles and by1 L. E. Bchanno, a mer
chant of the same city. Mr. Newbury
presented tho views of the southern
Oregon people and presented peti
tions, letters and telegrams from tho
sportsmen, merchants and farmers
in that section, praying that tho fish
and gamo funds bo left undisturbed.
Udiolds Commlv.ioa
Lester "SV. Humphreys, of Portland,
appeared as tho spokesman of the
Portland Anglers' club and of the
Oregon Sportsmen's League. Ho said
he aimed to correct tho Idea ad
vanced by some of tho farmers and
others supporting tho Schuebel bill
that because they pay licenses that all
the fish and game in the state be
longs to them. Ho called attention
to tho fact that the system of prosecu.
ting violators of the game law,
against which system somo of the far
mers have complained, actually pays
a revenue to the counties of the state
in which the prosecutions are made.
J; K. Sawyer, county treasurer of
Douglas county, urged a continua
tion of tho nresent system, under
which, ho said, tho game
have multiplied rapidly.
DEFEAT OF BOTH
FISH BILLS WORSI
TO BE EXPECTED

fisheries unmnuttce in hchnlf of n
elnoed riye'r, nud before the joint gunu
committees ngninst the diversion of

fnrd Fridnv nnil believes that the
fight is pnrtinllv won on both mens-J
tires. He believes tnnt it win ie nec
essary, probably, tv send representa
tives ngain when the final showdown
comes.
"1 found much more favorable sen
timent than I expected in the legis
lature." snid Mr, Kwinjr, "nnd 1 be
lieve that if the llnpie river closing
bill bad been introduced in the house
nnd bad followed the Willamette clos
ing bill it would Iinvo bono through
easily.
"The result of the fish.committccs
ronoriinc- without recommendation.
the two llogtie river bilK mnv result
in both being killed, though I believe
with stren: effort the Von dcr Ilellen
bill might go through. The worst we
can look for it the. defeat of both
bills, leaving the present law in ef
fect. "There will undoubtedly be n
strong effort to kill the game com
mission, but tho demonstration Wed
nesday cvcniiijr, showing nil pnrts of
tho slnle favorable to the commis
sion, bnd its effect. It was some
meeting."
