Oregon Fish Wheel Ban Declared Legal
Federal Judge Bean ruled Oregon's 1927 law banning fish wheels from the Columbia River above the cascades is constitutional. The decision came in a suit by P. J. McGowan of Ilwaco Washington who sought an injunction to stop enforcement. McGowan argued a 1918 agreement between Oregon and Washington legalized wheels, but the judge found no reason to doubt Oregon's right to supervise its citizens.
