CONFERENCE ON FISH TRAPS k
 CALLED NOV. 1S

SEATTLE, Nov. 9-Representa- tives Of the Alaskan fishing indus try have been invited to confer
 here Monday, Nov Is, on War De-
 partment regulations affecting To-
 cations of fishing structures in
 navigable Alaskan waters, it was
 announced today by Col. L. H.
 Hewitt, Seattle District Army En-
 gineer.
 To secure information on de-
 sirable changes in the War De-
 partment fish trap regulations, Col Hewitt has called the conference
 for 9:30 am. Nov Is in Room l400 Textile Tower, Seattle. Topics of discussion will include simplifica- ton of reports, earlier issuance of permits for construction and elim-
 ination of the requirement that Territorial license be obtained prior to granting a permit.
 According to Col Hewitt, the Army Engineers merely issue per- mits for construction of fish traps providing proposed structures are
 in areas open to fishing and offer no hazard to navigation. Decisions
 as to who operates fish traps rests
 with the U. s. Fish and Wildlife
 Service.
 Among topics that will not be considered at the Engineers fish trap conference as not coming
 within the jurisdiction of the En- gineer Department are Indian claims, conservation of fish, reduc- tion in number of traps, site prior ities, or trapsite legislation.

wiped out Clusters cavalry COM
mand in the historic Montana tight
with the Indians. He escaped being
killed, the War Department said,
because his unit was riding mules
and wasn't able to keep up with
the main force of Clusters regiment,
which was mounted on horses.
There was fighting and pillaging for
some days after Clusters death.
The citation which Sergt. Horner
received in 1878 stated that he and
three comrades courageously held
position against the Indians for two
days and thus kept open a source of
water supply for Clusters command
as the final phases of the battle were
developing.
Sergt Horner first enlisted in the
Army under the name of Charles
Windolph on November 81. 1871, in
Brooklyn, N. Y. records show. He
was honorably discharged March %,
1878 at Fort Wright, Dakota Terri
tories. as first sergeant of Troop H,
7th Cavalry He re-enlisted and
served until March 81, 1888, with the
same outfit.
During his visit with Secretary
Patterson, he displayed his Army
discharge which is written on sheep
skin.
