CALL FISH TRAP A
SERIOUS MENACE
HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED ON
THE NORTH SHORE BY FISH
COMMISSIONERS OF STATE
OF WASHINGTON.

Considerable feeling has been
aroused among the fishermen over
the establishment Of fish trap on
the north side Of the river, i'll a place
that is said to be so dangerous that
it will be constant and serious
menace both to the lives and the nets
Of the men in boats. This trap was
recently established there by the fish
warden Of the State of Washington,
John I. Riseland, who gained per-
mission from the federal authorities
as a direct exception to the hereto
fore rigid rule that no traps could be
maintained outside Of the establish
ed harbor line. State Fish Commis-
sioner Riseland represented that the
trap was desired for the purpose OF
catching salmon for spawning pur-
poses, and that to secure the best
results it was desirable and even
necessary to have the trap outside o.
the established harbor lines.
Fishermen Of Astoria and Of the
north side of the river are up in arms
against the state trap. Someone has
already christened il the death

trap Yesterday photographs were
secured OF the trap, clearly illustrat-
ing how it extends ont into the
river, and these pictures will be for
warded to the federal authorities in
charge Of the river. Secretary Ed.
Rosenberg, OF the United Fishermen
OF the Pacific, has already taken the
matter up with Major McIndoe, the
recently appointed engineer in charge
OF the department Of the Columbia
The facts in the matter appear to
be all we'll told in the following COM
munication, which was sent to Com
missioner Riscland:
ASTORIA, Or, July 2l, 1908.
John T. Riseland, State Fish Com
missioner, Bellingham, Wash. ;-Driy-
ing and operation Of state fsh-trap
on Columbia III present location will
cause loss OF lives and property OF
drift-net fishermen Hatchery pnr-
poses surely cannot warrant such
sacrifices, especially as location Of
state traps outside Of harbor line will
inevitably be used by private trapmen
to extend their traps to lines Of state
traps, as harbor line will then have
to be changed. This, then, will cause
additional loss OF lives and property.
You know present harbor line was
established to prevent loss Of life and
property. Hence / most emphatical-
ly protest on behalf of humanity and
property against your fishtrap policy
and ask you to request Governor
Mead, under whose instructions ]
suppose you act, to direct you to pull
the piling recently driven by your or
ders. Aided by photographer and
experts, ! personally today inspected
your state trap piling and unhesitat-
ingly declare this trap will be, if main
tanned, the worst death trap ever OPP
Grated on the Columbia.

devastate the tIawes Block, The fire
started By MIR Davis stepping upon

from which caught his trouser leg
and leaped TO the bench upon which
he was working with gasoline, in
cleaning garments Almost instant
ly the room was iull OF flames and
smoke which pourd into the street
from doors and windows.
The alarm was answered swiftly
by Chemical No ], from the block
below on Bond street, and in frac-
ton Of time the stream was playing
among the blazing contents OF the
shop and Subduing the progress OF
the fire which was sweeping the
walls and ceiling and filling the floor
above with binding masses Of smoke.

the excitement OF the hour, Mrs. John
TAYLOR, better known as Grandma
Taylor, aged SO years and just recov-

II was thought she was in grave dan
ger, not only from the fire, but from
the fright and reaction consequent
upon it, but, happily for her and all
concerned, she recovered later, and
having safely escaped both contin-
gencies, it is now felt she will be
alright soon again.
In the rear OF the shop of DAVIS &

apartments and his partner boarded
with the family. They lost heavily

only of their household equipment
but in the way Of goods that had
been left with them for cleaning, re-
pairing and tailoring, and Mr.. DAVIS
estimates his losses at 5000, without
any insurance whatever, and but a
few days started in business. The
damage to the building is not very
great and is covered in local com,
