A SALMON TRUST.
Columbia River Gamers Declare the
Measure imperative.

Measure Imperative.
PORTLAND, Or, Dc. 9-The conference
of Columbia River salmon Gamers, which
has been held al the Portland Hotel during
the past FIVE days, adjourned tonight.
While the conference was not barren of re-
suits the principal object for which it was
called resulted in nothing further than a
heated discussion for several days and
nights. The object of the conference. as
set forth in the cali, was to foster the salmon
industry and protect brands, trademarks,
etc. All were perfectly harmonious on the
subject of protecting brands and trade
marks, hut when the subject of forming a
combination to protect the interests of can
nerymen came up the conference split wide
open.
1t was set forth that the canning business
on the Columbia River had been carried on
at loss for several years past, and unless
some plan OF protecting in the way of Keep
ing up prices was agreed upon further re-
suits Of a serious nature were sure to fol-
low. A plan of incorporating all canneries
on the river in one company and operating
them under one management was proposed.
but the diversity OF opinion was SO great
that it was soon apparent that no definite
result could be arrived at.
The subject was discussed thoroughly
from thei standpoint of every caBneryman
present, and many of them hope that in the
near future another conference will be
called. and something material accom- plished
1t was decided that the conference would
reassemble at the call of any five eannery-
men present at this meeting.

1t happened that two OF the officials men,
toned by titles, the city Judge and the
Chief of Police. did not accompany the
exeursionists at all. They gave the defendant
chance TO publicly retract, but he replied
that he would go to jail first. His indiet-
ment for criminal libel followed, and the
case was called at the opening of the Ses-
sions this morning. Birds lawyer made an
address, in which he said his client was
clearly suffering from a diseased mind. an
imputation which Bird did not resent.
Counsel made abject apologies on behalf Of
his client, who agreed to drop The matter
and not preach a sermon as announced for
next Sunday on the same subject. The
matter was thereupon dismissed.
