Members Dissatisf1ed with Selection Of
Directors All From One Place.
PORTLAND, March 2.-[Special. Tho
recently formed Columbia river salmon
Gamers combine has practically ceased
to exist. Its life was abruptly brought to
an end today by James Cook. wealthy
canneryman of this city, who presented
the board of directors with . written
statement that he will not lease his
cannery to the combine nor pay any
assessments made by it.
The cause of this new rupture was the
same old feeling Of distrust and hatred be-
tween Portland and Astoria. When the
combine was formed last December. the
owners of seventeen canneries signed the
agreement. Seven were classed as up-river
canneries and ten as down. When the
board Of nine directors was elected Astoria
get eight and Portland one. This was the
means Of breaking the combine, and Mr..
Cooks example is likely to be followed by
about six Others

VETO MESSAGE ON n. B. NO. $50.

An Error Somewhere Leads to Con-
fusion-The Matter to Come Up Again.
OLYMPIA. March Especial. AFTER the
house today decided not to COLI
slider the governors veto Of Fl. B.
No. $50, permitting a second appeal
in certain felony cases, - it had
not been sent in within the statutory time,
according to the house records, and Or
dered the bill sent to the secretary of state.
the latter refused to receive it because it
did not contain the signature of the gov.
ernor.
An examination of the records Of the
governors Office disclosed that the bill
was received there on Friday, February
"a. at 1880 p. M, instead Of on Thursday,
February g. as is shown on the face OF the
house records. Two other bills were trans
mltted to the governor along with the one
in question and the records in all the
cases are identical. That is, the governors
record book shows that they were received
in his Office on Friday. while the
house receipts for the same. signed
by the governors private secretary, are
dated on the day previous. The messenger
who transmitted the three bills says he is
not sure whether they were taken to the
koFcIuOE OH VI
and that he did not note the
date to see whether or not it was
correct. One other man besides
the governors private secretary, who
was in the governors office at the time.
will make affidavit if necessary that the
bill was received there on Friday. In view
Of these facts the only reasonable explana-
ton seems to be that the house receipts
were made out one day before being used.
Chief Clerk Nicklin. on the other hand,
is positive that the records of the house
are correct. and when the secretary Of
state returned the bill to him he directed
its transmission . second time, together
with copy Of the house journal contain
ing the order for such transmission. On
receipt of this order tomorrow morning
Secretary Price will place the bill on file
in his Office and the whole subject will
again be brought up for discussion tomor-
row in the house. The question is merely
one of fact, not of contradiction Of the
legislative records, and the preponderance
of evidence is in favor of the proposition
that the bill was not received by the gov
ernor until the oath.

Schedule OF T. L. d w. Co.'s Property

TACOMA, March Especial. Tho Ia
coma Light and Water Company is now
complying with all the requirements nec-
essary to make legal the sale of its water
and electric plant 10 the city. Besides it
is showing great interest in rustling out
all its friends to register in order that they
may be qualified to vote. It filed today
with the county clerk a schedule of the
property to be purchased. Among the
items are the reservoir, dams, pump sta
tons. stand pipe. suction pipes, distribu-
ton system and the Spanaway lake con-
duit. In the electric plant is included the
arc and incandescent plants.
Some Of the items in the electric plant
are abbreviated in this manner:
so H. P. TIL power generator.
1850 IS G. P. Westinghouse alternating plant
IA TIL lights, 1000 c. P. dynamos.
In this respect the schedule may puzzle
some taxpayers and prove unsatisfactory.
The freight rates, costs of setting up
switch boards, ETC., buildings and all ma
terial is included. In the water plant all
the drawings and profiles Of all water sup
ply surveys made are included. and for
four years Puyallup is given an option on
100000 gallons per day of water from
Mapiewood springs. The company's real
estate is Complementary itemized.
A gentleman who has been looking into
the water supply question says:
The water service in Butte, Mont, which 10
brought from reservoir thirty miles distant in
the mountains, where dam alone cost $2SO,0O0
and which supplies a. large population As In
Tacoma, has not cost 81, 0O0,0O0. And an expert
