WW Oregon was successful In the su preme court today when the court, refused to take jurisdiction of the, appeal of P. J. McGowan & Sons brought to lest out the conslitu-' tlonality of the state law regulat ing the operation of fish wheels . and drag seines in the Columbia . river adjacent to its shores. i V. B. McCord. counsel for the ; company, contended that the law , violated the compact between Ore-; gon and Washington under which the two stales assumed concur-. rent jurisdiction over the Columbia jl river and agreed that all laws ana regulations then existing necessary! for preserving fish in the river : would remain unchanged without , the mutual consent of both states, i He insisted, that Washington had ; not consented to the Oregon act abolishing fish wheels and drag ' seines on its side of the river, and declared that he had a letter from the attorney general of Washing-J ton declaring the case of great im portance and hoping the court would construe the terms of the compact. ; The Washington attorney gen eral declined, he stated, to be come a party to the suit, but was said to be in full sympathy with the position taken by the fishing . company.
