Misrepresentation, trickery and fraud
Initiative Bill 3lS. the hshwheel
owners trick bill, received 46,SS-
votes for and 1920 against, thus re-
ceiving majority OF nearly oooo
votes. the claim is being set up that
A compromise measure should be
passed at the next legislature And a
few OF our best friends, believing
that the trick bill is enforcible and
thus almost absolutely will stop sal
mon fishing on the Columbia, are
somewhat iavoring compromise.
Now closest observation and study
OF the fishwheel method OF fishing
has convinced me that il the salmon
Of the Columbia are to stay, the
wheels must go-hshing by all
methods must stop where the Column
bia becomes so narrow that the neces-
sary seed fish cannot get to our
hatcheries and spawning grounds.
"Dr. David Starr Jordan, president
OF the Leland Stanford University
and generally accepted as the most
learned and withal the most inde-
pendent authority on the food fishes
OF our country, through letters and
telegrams sent me, materially helped
to carry bill 1872, his condemnation
of the hshwheels being strong and to
the point. Under date OF June 18th
DR.. Jordan writes me that he has beer
asked by the United States Secretary
OF State to serve as international
Commissioner OF Fisheries, and thai
he probably will visit Astoria ant
Seattle sometime in August.
Thus we can depend on DR.. Jor
dams aid in holding on to our bll
stopping fishing above the Sandy.
"As to bill 3l8, we can show tha
trickery and fraud of the crosses
kind were employed in misrepresent
ing the scope of this bill.
81 am convinced that it was tn
understanding OF fish trap men VIII
made themselves allies Of the hsh
wheel men in the campaign, tha
under the decision of our fedora
court, the trick bill could not be en-
forced if passed If they thought
could be enforced, the dead line pre-
scribed therein for fishing and run
ming from point near Astoria acros
the river to Point Ellice, would pre-
hibit fishing by several hundred trap
located between Point Ellice and tn
bar (under the State concurrent jul
lisdiction over the whole river); BIT
acting evidently under the irrpresslo
that it could not be enforced, commi
tees representing owners OF thes
traps worked with the fshwheel owr
ers for the passage of the trick bill
which otherwise would have bee
directly against their interest.
81 am of the belief, that the appl
cation and validity of trick bill 81
are for determination by the court
and that the Oregon Legislature ne'
spring will pass such salmon prote'
ton measures for the lower Colun
bia as will add to the value of bill s.
provided the provisions of tn
bill are LETT in full force and not con
promised away.
