 Trap Locations

In the Westward district Judge Hill granted temporary injunction restraining one Smith from operat- ing a trap on certain location, the injunction being granted in favor of Alaska General Fisheries who posted bonds in the sum of $5,OOO. Question of making the injunction permanent will be brought before the October term.
 SMILEY LOSES CASE wv.
 In the First Division an injunc- tion was granted the Smiley com pany of Ketchikan, restraining Wm. Irving from operating a trap at certain location. Argument was heard by Judge Reed wherein MT. Ziegler of Ketchikan appeared for plaintiff and Mr. Griggsby, for de- fendant.
 In this case plaintiff ayers that de- fendant is trespassing on their To- cation; defendants reply, alleges their trap was set some two weeks before Smiley's rap was put in less than 1900 feet away.
 It is reported that under the facts presented the court, the de- fendant wins suit and is permitted by the court to continue fishing while plaintiffs trap is in opera in violation of law.
 These cases will open new chan, Eels for fighting traps according to- attorneys in the case.

Petition for Injunction

Three federal judges sitting en banc in Portland this week denied the petition of F. J. McGowan and Sons that the temporary injunction granted against the Oregon Fish Commissioner enforcing the law against fish wheels, be continued. The lower courts upheld the Oregon anti-fish wheel law and it is now on appeal to the U. s. Supreme Court. The water has been too high for the wheels to operate much thus far this year but now the wa ter has fallen so that there is a chance for them-South Bend, Washington Journal. g

 While the pupils of the Home the National Anthem, the troop of Boy Scouts standing at attention and in salute, and citizens of Seward and dignitaries of the Methodist Epislopal Church stood uncovered, the halyards frightened, and climb ing into the brilliant sunshine of a perfect day, Old Glory led her child to the topmost heights of the tower ing fiagpole, where both straight ened out and futtered proudly in the cooling breezes blowing in from Resurrection Bay.-Gateway. ..

Interesting developments are expected to develop soon in the case brought by H. s.

 W. B. Sims, of Hoquiam, Indian agent for this district, was here last Saturday in connection with the case, as Charley bases his claim on the old treaty rights.

Fish War on Columbia
 GiNnetters- Traps

The affair Friday followed an at tempt at a "coup" on the part of the trap operators, who expected to complete the work of driving piling for the traps before there was general notice of the event. The piling and a pile driver owned by H. Makela and Sons was lowed to the spot and preparations were made for driving the piling. Be- fore this could be accomplished. however, the pile driver was sur rounded by. a fleet of 34 gillnet- boats, well filled with irate fisher men. The pile driver was boarded anG the fishermen in no uncertain termsproceeded to present their side of the case.
 While the fishermen meant bus mess there was no action taken and as the pile driver crew made no move toward laying the piling the gillnetters were satisfied with watch ing events and talking over the sit uation with the crew of the driver.
 DEPUTY HAS RIFLE
 In the meantime, following the first show of force on the part of the fishermen, Williams, who was ashore nearby, went to Ilwaco for as sistance, and he returned with J. J. Clark, chief deputy from South Bend, and A. l.. Myers, deputy sher if from HWacO. One of the depu ties stationed himself on the break water with a rifle, a move which had no effect on the fishermen.
 WATER NAVIGABLE
 It is hardly possible, however, that the operators will give up their plan for installing trap at the particular spot, as a trap there would prove to be immense ly profitable. The permit for the erection of trap is obtained from the office of the U. s. Engin- eers, Portland. The only restric ton to the issue is that no traps may be placed in navigable waters. The area in question is not navig- able to large vessels, though fish ermen use it constantly.
 The plan for the erection of the fish trap at that particular spot has been in the air for some time and the move Friday was not by the fishermen. From statements made yesterday by Will Hams. the plan has by no means been abandoned.-Mo Historian.
The Alaskan., 1927-07-29

A mobilization of the fishing fleet of the Ilwaco district Friday morn ing prevented the construction of fish traps in the drift west of Sand Island and south of Fort Canby when the crew of a pile driver de- cided that prudence was the better part of valor and declined to drive piling. The threat of destruction to the pile driver, made in quiet but nevertheless firm tones, together with the fact that the crew of the driver was sympathetic to the fish ermen, resulted in the temporary abandonment of the plan.
 As a result of the attempt yester- day, the gillnet fishermen of the en- tire lower Columbia district were up in arms and if further efforts on the part of the fish trap opera ors are made to erect traps in that particular locality, trouble is ex- pected.
 OPERATOR GETS PERMIT
 The permit to install a trap at that point has been issued to Wal ter Williams of Ilwaco, who is thought to be backed by an Astoria packing plant The attempt was made to place a trap between spit and jetty in waters that serve as one of the best drifts for gillnet- ters on he lower river. It would also block according to fishermen, the only channel to shelter ill the case of squalls or stormy weather.
 The attempt to locate trap site on the river at tha place yeserday was preceded by similar efforts over a period of twenty-five years, all of which have failed At every move of the trap operators the fish ermen have been able to force a of activities or to de- stroy the traps once they are install ed. Previous clashes have been eX- tremely serious in character and it is believed any further attempt on the part of the operators will re- suit in considerable difficulty.
 PROTECTION SOUGHT
 In the meantime it is rumored that the trap operators are seeking protection from the governor of the State of Washington and that fishermen will attemp to obain an injunction restraining the operators from continuing the work. Injunc tion or no injunction, fishermen de- clare that no traps are to be erect ed on the spot in question.
