TROOPS SENT TO |LWAcO,
Trouble Between Washington
and Oregon Fishermen Is
Threatened.
Those North of the Columbia Attempt
to Prevent the Use of Salmcn
Traps.

SEATTLE, WASH, April S.-Governor
McGraw this afternoon ordered out por-
ton of the State militia because of the
rioting and threatened serious trouble be-
tween Washington and Oregon fishermen
did so at the request of the Sheriff and the
Prosecuting Attorney of Pacific County.
I.appears that on April about $50
Astoria fishermen, armed with revolvers,
hatcnets and clubs, crossed over to the
Washington side and made a vicious at
tack upon the fishermen of this State be-
cause the Ilwacoans presisted in salmon
trap fishing. A number of men were more
or less seriously injured.
The Oregon fishermen, owing to the
condition of the river on that side, cannot
successfully trap salmon, and it seems
that they sought to intimidate and pre-
vent the Washington fishermen from en-
gaging in this line of fishing.
The militia force ordered out consists of
forty men under the command of Colonel
Green selected from Companies B, D and
of this city. They will leave here to-
morrow at noon via the Northern Pacific
were for the militia to assist the civil
civil authorities of Pacific County in pre-
serving order and resisting the attacks of
belligerent Oregon fishermen.
He was of the opinion that there would
be no bloodshed, but declared that he
would furnish the fishermen of this State
pro lection from further attacks and ont
lumbia River from Oregon on the Sd inst
The trouble, he believed, grew out of the
fact that the fishermen of this State were
un derselling the Oregonians.

FRESNO, CAL, April s.-The deplorable
cruelty which Rancher j. M. Canty of
Modesto permitted to decimate a large
band of blooded horses belonging to
white Hat" McCarty is about to have a
noteworthy and happy ending. The re-
naming portion of this string of registered
brood mares is on its way to q splendid
farm about eleven miles west of this city,
where $40 acres of farm have been pre-
pared for their reception. The stock passes
into the hands of Arthur R. Briggs for
Thomas Brown of the Bank of California.
There are from 10 to 100 Dexter Prince
colts in the band of 24O The ranch is
being fenced off into corrals for use in
brood farming. One hundred and sixty
acres Of the farm are already in alfalfa, 16O
more have been checked for alfalfa and the
rest is in grain, and is finely adapted for
the purpose. This will be good news for
horsemen all over the country, for the
stock under consideration is noted alike
for trotting and running.

Columbia R,rer Strike.

ASTORIA, Or, April s.-A mass-meet-
ing of trapmen, seiners and gillnetters.
representing the men who catch ali the
salmon on the Columbia River, to-day de-
cided to insist upon receiving cents per
pound for raw fish from the cannerymen
when the season opens, on April 10. On
that date they Will start fishing and offer
their catch to the cannerymen at the price
fixed. If the price is refused, as much as
is possible will be shipped East in cold
storage and the balance thrown back into
the river. Each week they will offer to
deliver fish at Il cent advance until the
price asked is 8 cents. Then they will
carry out arrangements to pack salmon
themselves, unless the Gamers come to
terms.
Several Gamers are already weakening
on their combined offer to pay only cents
per pound. Fishermen and fishmen
were never so plentiful before. The men
are we'll organized and prepared for the
struggle sure to come. The Gamers are
equally confident of winning.

BRAWNY STANFORD MEN
Track Athletes Confident of a
Good Showing Against
Berkeley.
Thirty.Five Can 1idateS for the Palo
Alto Team Selected by Cap.
ia n ToombS.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, April
S.-The trackmen's benefit fund is grow
ing rapidly, and the athletes are ju bilant.
A professional rubber from San Francisco
has already been imported, the track has
been placed in condition and there is q
revival of interest in field sports here. In
all probability a training table will be
started, and for the next three weeks the
athletes will live on the best that the land
produces. Captain Toombs and Track
Manager Brown have sent a list of thirty
five names to Captain Merwin of Berkeley,
as the list from which Stanford will select
her team. Hardly more than half of them
will 60 up against Berkeley. Some of the
men are ''going stale" from too much
training, but few days OF rest will
put them into fine shape.
In the sprints are Bernhard '96, Brun-
ton '99, Wooten '99, Toombs '96 and Hol-
brook '97, all of whom are doing under II
seconds.
The weight men are Fickert '9s, Wilbur
49, Hazard '96 and Fisher 9S. The latter
is a new man and is making good marks
with the 16-pound shot.
Stanford is handicapped by lack of good
seconds and thirds. In certain events not
more than two Stanford men will enter,
but Captain Toombs is confident that
Stanford will make better showing than
has heretofore been made against Berke-
ley.
Professor Griffen of the German depart
ment will leave the university tomorrow
for the East and will not return this
semester. He has just received news of
the death of his mother.

the Cooper Tract.
SANTA CRUZ, CAL, April S.-The
Board of Supervisors this afternoon di-
rected Superintendent Beck to have
erected on the land partially occupied by
the new Courthouse and within the gift of
the Cooper estate temporary wooden
building for the use of the Superior Court.
This was done after an objection had
been made by Contractor McCabe to the
occupancy of any portion of the building
in course of construction until finished.
The board was desirious that Judge
Lo gan should not be thwarted or even de-
layed in complying with the terms of the
deed of gift to the county by the Cooper
estate, and ordered this temporary build
ing that he might hold court this week.
McCabe then offered to allow the Judge
to occupy the new building without let or
hindrance, but the board did not rescind
its order for the temporary building, say
ing that McCabe could do IS he pleased.
Workmen were Immediately employed,
and during the afternoon the foundation
and floor were built. The wall will go up
tomorrow and the place will be ready for

day.

PORTLAND'S CONVENTION,
Ellis of Hoppner Nominated for
Congress by Second District
Republicans.
Delegates to the st. Louis Conven.
ton Instructed to Vote for
Mckinley.

PORTLAND, Or, April S.--W. r. Ellis
of Heppner was nominated for Congress
from the Second District at to-night's Re-
pulican District Convention, to succeed
himself. His strongest opponent was M.
A. Moody of The Dalles, who on the third
and final ballot received So votes to Ellis
81. The result of the balloting was re-
ceivsd with wild cheers.
The National delegates chosen are Wal
lace McCammant and Charles w. Parrish,
with Fred w. Henley and Jonathan
Bourne Jr. as alternates, When the result
of the vote for delegates to ST. Louis was
announced a resolutions was read and
unanimously adopted favoring William
Mckinley for President. The delegates
were instructed to work for him first, last
and always.
The delegates are both "sound-money"
men, and the alternates are silver adher-
ents.
The last work of the convention tonight
was tho selection of Congressional COM
mittee, and the Hume Frank-Minto fac
ton scored victory against the Simon
combination by electing Judge Charles
Carey committeeman of Multnomah
County.
The feature of the Second District Re-
publican convention to-day was the fac
tional fight of the Multnomah delegation.
The first trouble arose over the seating of
delegates In the convention, each side
claiming the legal right to seats. 1t was
decided by the committee and concurred
in by the convention to allow each faction
twenty-three votes or half the representa-
ton Of the county.
The fight between the opposing factions
was exciting and close, and the result is
looked upon as a victory for the anti
Simonites. The prospects are that there
will be red hot time in the State conven-
ton tomorrow, as there is disposition
on the part of the country delegates to re-
pudiate the Simon men entirely and seat
Carey delegates to represent Portland and
Multnomah County

Leland of this city had narrow escape
from death last night. While picking
weeds out of bluegrass on lawn she was
struck near the knuckle joint of the index
finger of the right hand by a tarantula.
Her husband killed the spider. which was
one of the largest and most venomous of
its kind. DIR. Kier was summoned, but be-
fore his arrival Mrs. Leland, assisted by
her neiahbors who hurried to her assist
ance, took necessary precaution to mini
mize the absorption of the poison by her
system. A handkerchief was knotted
tightly about her wrist and whisky was
applied to the wound and also taken inter
nally. In consequence of these prompt
precautions the swelling was not very
serious. Mrs. Leland was fast recovering

manager and superintendent of the San

of the well was not given in the message
