F. B. Holbrook Writes Concerning the
MMi Question Irrigators Anxious
to Protect Fish of AM Kinds.
Editor East Oregonian: Dear Sir-
I have read the article in your paper
of October 20, and am very sorrv so
much agitation Is being created over
me question of fish in the Umatilla
Kiver.
The question is, to my mind, one
concerning the preservation of game
fish for the upper river and the pro
tection of commercial fish In the
whole river, especially in the lower
river.
, As regards the Irrigator and his
Interference with their freedom or
their destruction In his, ditches, I will
venture to say that every one divert'
lng water from this river is as anx
ious as any lover of good fishing, that
they be protected and enabled to in-.
crease, and at the same time is oqual.
ly as anxious that his lands and crops
be free from the presence of all kinds
of fish and eel. It may not be general
ly understood, but fish running down
Irrigating ditches and dying on the
land are extremely obnoxious and
positively detrimental to the hay crop
because they are frequently raked up
and stacked with the hay.
As regards the commercial fish, 1.
e., the salmon, no fear should be en'
tertained by any one that they are in
any way interferred with by any ir
rigating company or person, for the
good' reason that they, visit our
streams only at its flood1, season, and
when the water is cold and to their
liking.. -
The arch enemy of the salmon to
day Is the "hog sport," who destroys
the salmon when they are'.helpless, I.
e., when they first enter the water
and when ,they ,are struggling through
the shallow , waters on the bed-rock
near the mouth of the river.
With a disposition on the part of
the people to plant more fry and to
protect them In the upper Umatilla
and its tributaries and the enforce
ment of the law against taking sal
mon in any way whatever, save by
baited hook, and you will soon find
the river teeming with fish, both the
commercial and game, varieties, and
at the same time every Irrigator ex
cluding all forms of fish from his
hitches. Very truly yours,
F. B. HOLBROOK.

FISH BEING SLAUGHTERED.
Thousands Killed by the "Fish Hog"
as They Start Up the River.
F. B. Holbrook, manager for tho
Oregon Land and Ditcli Company, of
near Umatilla, was In town Wednes
day on business. In speaking of thu
salmon run in the lower Umatilla
River, he said the "flBh hogs" were
killing fish by the thousands.
Mr. Holbrook said that men would
get out on the shoals near the mouth
of the river and kill the salmon ns
they come up the river. The water
is so low that they cannot get out of
the way, and he stated that it wa3 no
unusual thing for one man to kill
from 20 to 40 large salmon In a few
hours. Of course, no man or family
willeat this many large salmon bo-foro-
they spoil and they arc' sim'pl
slaughtered for the satisfaction of
killing them.
The Indians are a little different.
They will kill them, and what they
cannot cat while they aie fietsh ore
dried and packed home for tho win
ter. Thus they waste none, although
they sometimes kill many more man
they really need.
Mr. Holbrook said if tho flsh com
missslon and garaq wardens would
look after the "flsh hogs" a little
closer and stop this wholesale slaugh
ter It would do a great deal toward
saving the fish and keep the streams
full of them. The time of year that
they are killed in this way is Just
when they are spawning and this dt
strovs not only tho old ones, but
thousands of young.
