DOUBLE DOSE
FOR SALMON
FAMOUS FISH HAS
PLENTY OF PROTECTION
Fight OF Rival Fishermen Give Fish
Greater Protection Than Most Ar
dent Advocates Of Restrictive Mea-
sures Ever Dreamed Of-TwO Bills
Do Not Conflict.

The adoption Of the two fishery
bills at the recent election has given
Columbia river salmon more pro
lection" than the most ardent advo-
cate OF restrictive measures had ever
hoped for, says the Salem correspond
ent TO the OregOnian. Each OF the
bills was prepared with n view to pro-
hibitlng fishing OF a certain kind In
portions of the Columbia river, and
since both have passed they will both
become operative. They do not con-
flct in their provisions, for they APP
ply to different portions of the river
and both will become effective as
soon as the vote has been canvassed
by the governor.
Provisions of Two Bills.
The bill proposed by the lower CO.
lumbia fishing interests absolutely
prohibits fishing in the Columbia or
its tributaries above the mouth Of
the Sandy River, or in the Sandy
river itself, by any means except with
hook and line. This bill goes into
force August 25, 1908.
The bill prepared by the upper
river interests will go into effect Sep
tember 10. 1t absolutely prohibits
fishing for salmon in ary commercial
navigation channel OF the Columbia
within the jurisdiction Of the state
of oregon between one hour after
sunset and one hour lcfore sunrise.
Since most of Tie fishing is done at
night this practically means no fish
ing in the navigable channels OF the
Columbia. It prohibits absolutely
fishing in the Columbia at any place
between October and December 81.
II prohibits fishing for salmon at any
time in the Columbia west of the west
line of township north, range 9
vest, which means west of a line

Extension of Time Revoked.

The extension of 80 days granted
by the commissioner of the genera
land office in which payment could
but made on timber and stone proofs
has been revoked by an order re-
ceived by the local land office today
says the Lewiston Teller. The ex-
tension was granted last November,
during the financial furry, and with
the restoration of normal business
conditions 1t is believed the extension
is no longer needed.
The local land office has submitted
three decisions in cases heard here.
The case entitled Edward c. Dwy-
er VS.. Luther NJ. Steelsmith was de-
cided favorably to the entrmen. In
the case of Charles c, Phillips VS..
Thomas II. Davis, the decision was
favorable to the protestant, and in
the case of c. F. Simpson VS.. Emil
BraXling the decision was favorable
to the protestant.

crossing the Columbia north and
south OF Astoria. AS most of the
fishing with nets is done below AS
torla, 1t will practically put the gill;
meters out of business. 1t prohibits
the use Of NETS longer than $50 fatn-
oms or deeper than Ia fathoms,
diminishing the size of the nets about
one-fourth. 1t prohibits fishing for
salmon in the Columbia on Sunday.
Factions Must Get Together.
The two bills together put the
wheels out of business ON the upper
Columbia and stop all fishing at any
place on Sunday or between October
and December 81. keep the nets
out of the boat channels at night, stop
all fishing below Astoria, and cut the
nets down one-fourth in size.
Neither of the bills affirmatively
declares that it shall be unlawful to
fish at any place, so that the pro-
hibtiory provisions of one bill do not
conflict with the exceptions OF an
other and all the clauses making
certain classes of fishing unlawful are
effective.
Since both the upper and lower Co.
lumbia fishing interests have been
hard hit by the enactment of the two
laws, it is quite likely that they may
try to get together on some reason
able legislation before the legisla-
ture convenes. If they do not, the
legislature will have a hard task be-
fore it. In any event, the new Master
Fish Warden will have his hands full
enforcing the laws after they take ef-
feet.

There is decided shortage in the

Election in Mgher prices. OF course,
at this time of the year there always

is so pronounced as to be regarded
as almost startling. The prices of

Housewives are now paying from

ers say the condition was brought
about within tAe past week. when
shipments of cattle received at the
stockyards were less than one-half
of those received in the same period
last year. There is, however, an
abundant supply of lamb and pork,
and the packers are not alarmed over
