FISHING SEASON EXTENDED.
Commissioner Reed Win Not Close
Down Till the Last of the Month.


While Mr.. Trescott, the well-known
canneryman, was in the city few
days ago, he made the statement that
the fishing season on the Columbia
would be extended to conform with the
limitations prevailing In Washington.
The Astoran felt at the time that
there must have been some mistake or
misunderstanding somewhere, as II was
not clear how the fish commissioner
could suspend the operation of a state
law when he is not clothed with dis
dictionary powers, or any other powers,
other than those OF an executive nature.
As Mr., Reed was absent from the city
AT the time, the statement was with
held until he could return and have
an opportunity to either deny or con-
firm II. Fish Commissioner Reed has
now returned and makes the statement
that there would be no advantage gain
ed in enforcing the law until the first
OF March as the Washington closed
season does not begin until that time.
Mr.. Reed holds that If he were TO
enforce the Oregon law on this side
Oregon fishermen would go across the
river and take out licenses and then
continue fishing as usual, as 1t has been
decided that the jurisdiction OF each
state extends To the opposite shore.
Mr., Reed explains that the present law
was passed at the special session of
the legislature and at the regular ses-
sion Il was amended to conform with
the Washington law but this was de-

New York. March 1.-THE Journal and

diplomatic move, for it cannot be sup
posed that they expected Lord Salisbury

those they proposed.
They have. however. obtained from the
British premier a tangible statement Of
the intentions Of England and her deter
mination to take from the two republics
their independence.
This gives them something on which
they may appeal to the powers, asking
II the latter will stand by and see them
crushed and turned into integral parts
OF the British empire. The strengthening
