A NEW CANNERY COMBINE.
Fraser River Companies Driven INTO
1T ms Protection Against
Ludwig Wurzburg.

Special Dispatch to the Post-Inteliigen,G,,eslr
VANCOUVER, b. c., Dec 10 liz ne
Fraser river Gamers. whose differences
appeared irreconcilable after the collapse
of their combine at the end OF the can
ming season, have virtually been driven
into a combination as protection aganse
one of their own number. The later,
Ludwig WurZburg, proposed TO ihtruou,se
the principle of cooperation into tue
management of the forty-seven canneries
on the river, and the other Gamers We're
so alarmed at the avidity with which
the 1900 fishermen jumped at the propos,
al of cooperation that. fearing renewal
of the labor troubles which tied up tne
industry last summer, they promptly
sank their own differences and organized
a combination on the same lines as the
Gamers Association of the season or
1900.
Another objection of the majority Of
the Gamers to the plan of Mr.. Wurz-
burg. in addition to the Discrimination 70
share the profits of canning with the
fishermen, instead of paying them by
the number of fish caught, was the
feature of the scheme which gave to
Wurzburg the management of the entire
combination of canneries for four years
at an annual salary of $4,000. and also
conferred on WurZburg the power to
value all the csnneries his own among
the number. and to allot TO their res
pective owners proportionate amounts Of
stock in the combine

DIVISION or PATRONAGE.
Plan 10 secure Republicans In APP
pointive State Offices.

Special Dispatch to the Post-Intelligencer
TACOMA. Dec. l6.--One of the serious
questions now disturbing administration
politicians Is the probability Of a division
l9ture by which the Republican party will
obtain a fair share of the offices now
held entirely by the Democrats. While
no definite policy in this direction has
been outlined by Republican statesmen,
IL Is the general feeling of many senators
and representatives interviewed by the
Post-lntelligencer correspondent that. as
the state went overwhelmingly Republic
can at The general election, except in the
single instance of governor, IL Is not just
or right that all of the state patronage
should accrue to the Democratic party.
State Senator j. p. Sharp, of Ellens-
burg, who Is here today, feels that the
Republican party should be recognized in
the matter of state offices. While he is of
the opinion that the appointing power
rests with the governor. according to the
provisions of the constitution, still he
thinks there Is way by which a share
Of the offices could be diverted to the
Republicans This could be accomplished,
according to his idea by abolishing the
present board of audit and control and
I'm its place name an appointing board.
consisting of Gov. Rogers, the secretary
of state-elect and the auditor-elect
The creation of this board which would
make the appointment, would give a
balance of power on the board to the Re-
publican party. and while Gov. Rogers
under the constitution would probably
have the power Of direct appointment.
Senator Sharp thinks he would recognize
the consistency of giving the Republicans
fair recognition when the matter was pre-
sented to him by the other members of
the appointing board. OF course, aside
from the matter OF appointments. the
board would have charge OF the state in
stitutions the same as the present board
OF audit and control.

Mr.. Ferguson was a native of Sandusky.
o.. born May 6, 1924 Later he moved
with his parents to Savannah O., and
remained there until 1874
On May 6 of that year he started with
the Simmons party for Oregon territory.
They experienced some trouble with In
dams on the journey, losing their stock.
but otherwise they were unmoiested.
They first came to The Dalles, and from
there came by batteau down the Column
hia to where Portland now stands, then
a wilderness. They then went to Oregon
City. and after nine months spent there
went on to Washougal on the Columbia
river.
In the fall of 1s45 the party came to
this county and the men of the party
went to work for the Hudson Bay Com
pany. A little later MIR. Ferguson took
up the claim of 800 acres on Bush prairie
on which he died this morning. In 1919
he went to California and engaged in
mining. but did not remain long there.
In 1851 Mr.. Ferguson Joined the Inflated
party from Puget sound which departed
for Queen Charlotte island In search OF
gold. The sloop Georgiana, ON which
they took passage, was driven ashore on
that island and the party captured by
fifty four days They were afterward
ransomed by the United States govern
ment for goods to the amount Of $500
This experience cured Mr.. Ferguson $
gold fever and he returned to his claim
in this county.
During the Indian war of 1886 Mr.
Ferguson remained on his claim, build
ing a blockhouse. preferring this to the
stockade in Olympia. He was married
on May 20. 1853. TO Margaret Jane Rut-
ledge. His wife died in 1851. They had
six children. four OF whom are living:
David s. Ferguson, who lives on the old
homestead: Samuel Ferguson. of Little
Rock; Mrs. Sarah j. Lee. living at the
home. and Mrs. Annie Callow, of New
kamilchie.
The funeral OF the old pioneer will be
held Wednesday forenoon Mr. Fergu-
son was a familiar figure at meetings Of
the Pioneer Association and was a favor

GOLDEN PHEAsANTs APPEAR.
Oriental Game birds show Remark
able Increase.

Special Dispatch to the Post-Intelligencer.
TACOMA, Dec. H-Frank Alling. the
well-known rancher In the southern sub
urbs OF Tacoma, who has stocked the is
lands and the country in the neighbor-
hood of Tacoma with Oriental game birds,
has received information that the silver
and golden pheasants which he was led to
believe had been exterminated by hunters
are appearing In considerable numbers In
the regions adjacent to Tacoma. The
past season appears to have been unusu-
ally favorable TO the propagation of wild
fowl The increase In the numbers of
Chinese pheasants has been phenomenal.
and Mr., Alling believes these birds will
soon be quite common over large area
of Western Washington as they have
been seen far east as Buckley and
have also spread over the southern and
western portions of Pierce county Mr.
Alling Is especially gratined at the news
OF the survival and increase of the silver
and golden pheasants.

the East side had as yet but one candi-
date. in the person of Representative
Rosenhaupt, of Spokane. and he did not
think that he commanded an influence
over the state sufficient TO make him Tor
mldable. The result would be that con-
siderable portion of the east side strength
would be conferred upon some candidate
west Of the mountains. SO far sentiment
had not taken formative shape sufficient
to definitely settle upon any candidate
among the three or four from Western
Washington already had in the field.
Senator Sharp says the sheep men OF
Eastern Washington have initiated a
movement having for its end the enact
ment of restrictive legislation upon the
importation of sheep from Oregon and
other contiguous states. The present law
is sufficiently strict regards the driv-
ing of fiocks and herds across the inter-
state boundary. but there is no legisla-
ton whatever providing for quarant ne
of diseased sheep. which are shipped in
to the state in box cars. The east size
sheep men are decidedly opposed to this
free and easy policy, and will ask for
legislation placing equal restrictions up
on those shipped as now govern the en-
trance Of those driven into the state. AT
a farmers institute held at Ellensburg
yesterday, the matter was taken M. and
the discussion resulted in an understand
ing that committee would probably be
sent To Olympia during the legislative ses-
sion to urge upon the east side legis-
lators the necessity of having the WASH
ington herds amply protected by legis-
'ation.
Senator Sharp took an active part in
the irrigation legislation Of two years
ago and he has some changes in the
present statutes bearing upon this sub
Ject which he desires to support at the
coming session. The main change desired
Is In respect to the water commissioner.
At present he II appointed by the county
commissioners. and according to Senator
Sharp, one is often appointed who Is
not qualified to I'll the position.
The law in respect to head gates is
also detective IN its present state. Sen
ator Sharp says. 1t provides that the
ditch owner shall place a gate at the
head of the ditch where the water is
taken out of the stream, but no penalty
is fixed II he fails to do SO. On this
account. If man wants to use more
water than he Is entitled to- he does MT
put In gate and consequently the water
commissioner cannot shut him off:
