Judge Bing ham of Marion county, another opinion by the supreo ic court holds no corporation, either domestic or foreign, can be licensed, to engage In fishing for salmoo with gill nets in Oregon. This cass of the Booth Fisheries company, appellant, against tbe state lish commission, Is also written by Jfustlco Rand and affirming Judge Bingham.

The court upheld tlio statute which provides that all persons engaged in fishing shall be licensed and that no person can be licensed who is not a citizen of tho United States.
