HAVE NEW FISHLAWS
OREGON AND WASHINGTON LEG
ISLATUREs MAY ACT INDE-
PENDENT OF FACTIONS.
Regulation of All Glasses OF Geai
and Abolition of None Is Policy
That May Prevail.

Portland, Or, Nov. 11.-That the
salmon wrangle on the Columbia
River has at last reached such pass
that good laws can be enacted In the
States of Oregon and Washington fol-
concurrent closed season and regula.
ton of gear, is the opinion of many
fishermen and outsiders who have
seen the long strife There is now
a disposition to take the matter out
OF the hands of the warning interests
who have had the industry all to
themselves, and pass remedial legis.
lation over their heads in the two
legislatures.
At Seattle today, a Washington
commission. appointed by Governo,
Mead, conducted a hearing, so as to
learn the proper way of adjusting the
difficulties and of compelling this
warning rivals to obey the state au.
thorities. Some time ago there was
a call for similar commission In
Oregon, but Governor Chamberlain
refused to name one, for the reason
as he said, that the business was one
for the legislature alone to handle
and not for him to press on that
body
Although the salmon supply seems
to have been maintained, both fol
fisheries and for hatcheries, all vari.
ties realize that there is serious
drain on the reproductive quantity
in the river, and that unless rene
dies shall be applied, the industry
will go to ruin. There is reason tc
believe that the fisheries and the
hatcheries catch so many salmon that
very small numbers are propagated
in the natural manner
Failure of hatchery work and OF
laws to increase the salmon quantity
has created alarm on all sides
Among the fishery interests, the rem
edies sought are restriction or abo
lition of rival classes of gear. Out.
side of these interests the remedies
advised are frightening of the closed
season, prohibition of Sunday fishing,
regulation of all classes of gear and
abolition of none. These are the rec.
concentrations OF the United States
Fish Commission. Although Ore.
CONS new warden has not yet an.
nounced his views on this matter,
they are known to coincide with
those of the government experts.

MAY SUCCEED PLATT
Presidents Public Career Likely to
Be Continued as Senator.

Washington, Nov. 9.-That Presi-
dent Roosevelt may be the successor
of Senator Plat in the Senate Is con-
sidered by many in Washington as
not at all improbable. Those who re-
gard this as possible declare that
they have assurance from the Presi-
dent himself that he would not be
entirely averse to the acceptance OF
the Senatorial Office under conditions
as they will be after March 4.
1t Is even suggested that the abb
sence of the President on his pro-
posed African hunting expedition
need not necessarily stand in the way
of his election, but rather that such
absence might relieve the situation OF
embarrassment to him in case his
friends should desire to press his
name.

head tax on landing in Canada has
been raised by the arrival on board

OF two British engineers who have
been working on the Canton Kow-

They hold that their wives should

be amenable to the tax. The ques-
ton has been referred to Ottawa.

Coach James c. Rice of Columbia's

up by the people of Toronto. headed by
the mayor, who announced through the
Toronto press that he was strongly in
favor of the memorial and looked for q
large public subscription as well as an
appropriation from Toronto, says the
New York Times. Rice has beaded the
list with 500, and a public meeting
will soon be held in Toronto TO take
definite steps In the matter. At Co

three years, subscription is also be-
ing started for the monument. Among

keepsie regatta.
Toronto is about to establish a regat-

the one over which Hanlan won his

TAILOR SHOP ON A LINER.
Women May Have Gowns Fitted Also.
JeweIry Store on Board.

Among the innovations which Herr
Balm has planned for the new Ham
burg-American liner Europa, now. be-
ing built at Belfast, are tailor's shop
and modiste's parlor, which will be un-
der the direction of first class artists
from London and Paris, says the New
York Times. .
American tailors will also be on
board to please those who like English
cloth. but not the cut.
Whether women will feel spry enough
to try on dresses I'm midocean is yet to
be proved, but Herr Balm thinks that
the great size of the Europa, 10000
tons, >will preclude the possibility OF
rolling to any extent and permit wom-
en- to keep their feet while being fitted.
There is also to be a jewelry store
on board. in which passengers nay Sc
lect diamonds and precious stones at
their leisure without the trouble OF
ransacking London, Paris or Berlin for
them.
This latter feature may have blight
ing effect on ocean fiirtations, which.
1t is said, have owed much of their
popularity TO the fact that about the
most expensive gift to be made WON
