WASHINGTON FISH LAWS.
MeeIar Introduces Conference Bill in

MeaIar Introduces Conference Bill in
the House.
The general fisheries law, under the
authorship Of Speaker Megler, appear
ed in the house at Olympia last week.
The bill does not include some Of the
features agreed to by the Oregon and
Washington joint conference, 1t being
the intention to place the matter af-
fecting the Columbia in separate bin.
The Megler bill, however, fixes the IL
censes as agreed to by the joint con-
ference committee.
A side departure in marking fishing
locations is provided for. Under the
present law the locations are marked
by the driving of three piles. The
Megler bill provides for the survey of
locations and the filing Of plats in the
office of the county auditor and the
state fish commissioner. The idea is
known as the Major Mills plan.
Major Mills of the government en-
gineering staff, has objected to the
driving of piles because they are a
menace to navigation. The bill will DO
away with this menace and also pro-
vide that every vestige Of the fishtrap
or gear shall be removed within GER
tain period after the close of the fish
ing season.
