LAW UNCONSTITUTIONAL.


SALEM, Or, August 6.--Attorney-
General Crawford has rendered an opin-
ion holding chapter 2O4 of the laws of
1907 unconstitutional and void, because
it is an attempt to amend section of
the code which was repealed by the
legislature OF 1901. This act requires
screens to be placed at inlets of irriga-
tion bitches, canals, mill races, etc., to
prevent small fish from entering these
byways from the main fishing streams.
This opinion is Of particular interest to
owners Of irrigation bitches along the
COLUMBIA RIVER Eastern Oregon who
object strongly to the expense of put
ting in such screens.

OREGON CITY, Or, August 6.-Dis-
trict Attorney Hedges at O'Clock this
afternoon reached the decision to stop
gambling in all the four counties of the
Observation-Disclosures, Clatsop,, Washing.
ton and Columbia. This means the end
of gambling in Astoria. Instructions to
that effect are being prepared this alter
noon, and will be mailed to his deputies,
as follows: Clatsop, j. c. Mccue; CO.
lumbia, W. H. Powell; Washington J.
NJ. Wall.
Mr., Hedges will act personally in the
case of Clackamas county.
The deputies win in each instance be
instructed to enforce vigorously the
state laws prohibitive of gambling by
every device mentioned. One weeks
time will be given the gamblers in which
to close up their affairs and remove all
from their establishments.
In the event of their failure it will be
confscated and destroyed.
Il had intended taking no action un-
til returned from my vacation, at
which time intended familiarizing my
self with conditions, looking to prevent
ing gambling everywhere in the district"
said Nj. Hedges. "0n account of my
unfamiliarity with conditions, I did not
know whether or not the Astoria people
would cooperate with me in enforcing
the law. ] desired their cooperation
before proceeding. l received word this
afternoon that my prospective action
closing gambling would be backed up by
he people, whatever might be the OF
fetal attitude, and decided to take ac-
ion at once"
The morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1899-1930, 1907-08-07

Deputy District Attorney McCue had
not received notice last night from Dis
trict Attorney Hedges regarding the
closing of the gambling houses in As
toria, but he said that he expected an
order in this mornings mail. He assert
ed that he would enforce the order
strictly on August IA, the date on which
it goes into effect in the four counties.
The order has been expected by citi-
zens of the city and Mr.. McCue ever
since the Milwaukee gambling house
was closed in Oregon City. The notice
that District Attorney Hedges had de-
cided to act, therefore, did not come as
a surprise. He was fully acquainted
with the situation here, according to
local men.
Gambling in the last II months in
Astoria has paid revenue to the city
of about $4,000, the total from all
sources being about $4,000, The num-
ber of games running at present il 45,
which pay $25 month, while 1876 slot
pay $3.50 quarter. The
amounts have been collected regularly
by Chief Gammel.
The estimates made by the city coun-
ell for the present year included the
gambling revenue. and it is claimed
that the council will be short 100000
when the order prohibiting gambling
goes into effect.
Gambling in the city was closed up
over a year ago after hot campaign in
the city, and was later put to the vote
Of the people. The Democrats in the
city won in the election and the gam
bling was recommended 1t is peculiar
and interesting fact that District At
torney Hedges, who is Democrat, has
been responsible for the closing order.
