Oregon Washington fish wheel dispute heads to federal court
The Oregon Washington compact on Columbia river fishing may be tested in federal court after Oregon voters approved an initiative to abolish fish wheels and traps. Upper river canners seek Washington consent under the 1917 compact, while proponents claim Oregon alone may regulate fishing methods. The issue likely won’t reach court until May when annual licenses are due, with Oregon’s fish commission expected to refuse a license and prompt legal action.

Interior outlines policy to reclaim arid grazing ranges
The Department of the Interior proposes a policy to reclaim public range lands by establishing watered sites for livestock. It envisions long term leases to stockmen, with wells drilled by the government where needed and costs recouped through grazing charges, turning idle lands into productive ranges. The plan relies on existing Interior resources and aims to avoid new agencies.
