would celebrate two of the greatest
events in its history this year-the
building of the electric railroad and
the overthrow of the big grain king.

SMOKER PROVES FINE
AND JOLLY SUCCESS
OVER 100 GUESTS LISTEN TO
SPEEcH-MAKING IN LOGAN
HALL LAST EVENING.

At the smoker in Logan Hall last
night in honor of w. T. Forsythe,
the representative Of the eastern
financial concern that may purchase
the bonds OF the new electric line,
over 100 guests were present and the
occasion proved a very enjoyable
one.
. Because it was forseen that the
Chamber Of Commerce rooms would
mot be large enough for the gathering
ii was decided to hold it in Logan
Hall, and the wisdom Of the choice
was demonstrated BY the number
that came.
| Instead of the event being merely a
R"smoker,' it turned out that the COM
Emittee in charge had prepared for a
/ fine supper, with coffee, fruits, greens
/ and other tasty edibles The tables
were set the full length Of the hall
land with the snowy napery made a
Rne showing. Mayor Wise, who had
been made the chairman Of the COM
mittee to arrange for the entertain
ment, acted as toast master, and he
filled this place in his usual bright
and luminous manner.
/. There were many speeches during
the evening, SO many in fact that i
would make "a long list even to tell
the names Of the speakers All glori-
lied Clatsop county, and incidentally
some very interesting facts and fig-
lures we're presented in relation to
the county. On every side there was
enthusiasm for the proposed new
line, and everything that was uttered

showed the desire and the need for
the railway For the guest of the
evening. Mr.. Forsythe, the event
must have proven of interest and Of
value. An orchestra played some ex-
cellent selections, and some solos and
chorus singing added to the pleasures
Of the event.
The gathering was OF the repre-
sentative and leading men OF the city,
and that it proved interesting was in
dicated by the fact that it was grow
ing towards midnight before the
meeting broke up.
Mayor Wise signed the ordinance
granting a franchise to the new line
over some Of the city's streets at the
meeting last night.

FISH WARDEN SUBMITS
SEPTEMBER REPORT
BRIEFLY REcITEs TROUBLE
OVER THE FISH LAWS AND
RESTRAINING ORDER.

i II. c, MeAllister, the master 6sh
warden, has sent his report for the
month of September to the Board Of
Fish, Commissioners at Salem, and
most OF the report deals with the
question Of the FISH laws and the re-
straining order A copy Of the en-
tire document was received BY the
Astorian last night, and herewith "
given the Introductory statement, as
showing clearly the ststus of the
yeNed muddle over the fish laws on
the Columbia river;
"On the 10th Of September the
new laws passed at the last general
election pertaining 70 the Columbia
river become effective, and, as far as
possible, were enforced 10 the letter,
until was restrained BY an injunc-
Ition issued from the United States
Circuit Court. The enforcement Of
the new measures caused SO much
dissatisfaction, and our authority to
enforce our laws to the Washington
shore was so vigorously opposed by
citizens OF Washington that after a
number OF fishermen, operating un-
der Washington license, had been
arrested and taken into our courts,
the officials of that State, upon the
urgent request of some Of her fisher
men, went before the Federal Court,
and secured a temporary restraining
order, preventing me from enforcing
our laws north Of the middle Of the
river. This order was issued on
September 18th and made returnable
on September 28th, After consult
ling with Attorney General Crawford
and calling his attention to the fact
| that, whilst | was prevented from in
terfering with fishing on the north
1 half Of the river, ! would still be COM
PEELED to enforce the laws on the
Oregon side, and that in my opinion
lit would seem as though we were
discriminating against our own fish
ermen. I suggested that something
should be done to make the restrain
ling order cover the entire river,
Attorney General Crawford then
wrote Assistant Attorney-General f,
C. Mcdonald, of Washington, ask
ing him to amend his complaint so
that it would be made to cover both
sides OF the river, advising him that
liz this was done, the State Of Oregon
would not fight the injunction hear
ing when it was called on September
28th After much persuasion, Mr..
Mcdonald consented TO this, and on
September 18th, Judge Wolverton
granted the injunction asked for.
This prevents my interference with
| the fishermen under the new laws,
until a decision is rendered by the
United States Supreme Court in the
Christ Nelson case"

a bird lover of at least one present

nameless, but he was led into the
ways of considering the birds by
barn swallow which as an unthinking
boy he had shot at and wounded. The
tip Of the birds wing was struck. The
swallow was not injured severely
enough to cripple 1t, but the feather at
the wings tip turned and dropped,
leaving the bird so marked that its
identity would be unmistakable until
the feather was shed with the next
melting.

shot and instantly turned and circled

thought he was sportsman. The bird
