WW" v- MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, JUNE 19, 19.10. HAYES PUCES iBOWERMAN IS CANNON REPLIES BLAME Oil DEAN MAKING GOOD TO BITTER ATTACKS & w f t- I Says Conditions at Atncnt Dam Look Like Collusion Between Dam Own ers and Seine Operators Is Cir culatinn Petitions to Close River. Althounh Acting Governor Is Only 33 Years of Age, He Is Rapidly Win ning Public Approval Tackles a Big Amount of Work at Once. Says Some of Most Critical Members Would Not Know tho Rules If Thoy Met Them Coming Down tho Road Toward Them. it m I &J That the finest trout-iuiRlinj; wat ers iu the world nro beiiiR ruined by the maintenance! of the Anient dum on Uoruo river, and that the dnm is brine maintained solely in the inter ests of the Grants Pass commercial fishermen, is tho opinion of J. V. Hayes, who recently returned from an unsuccessful fishing trip up the Kofrue river, says the News. Mr. Hayes is now circulating an initi ative and referendum petition, ask ing for tho passage of a law which will closo tho Itoguo to any but hook and' lino angling. "T fioYin.l T?rtfnin wrnr ilintNilttptill from Trail creek down to the Jack son place, a distance of about ten soiles," said Mr. Hayes, "and I didn't catch a singlo fish of any size ex eept one mountain trout weighing about a pound nnd a half. Tlieso trout nevor go to the sea, like the salmon trout, which go down in the spring to meet the salmon nnd then eome back with them. There have been practically no big trout iu the river for tho past threo seasons. They get below the Anient dam and can't get back. There they stay with tho new run of fish. While the wa ter was high a few could get over, but now it is impossible for them to stake it, and thoy are crowded to gether below the dam, striving to pass the barrier, only to be hurled back by tho torrent that pours tirough tho break in the dam. This leaves them an easy prey to the seme fishermen. Unless something is done to alter the present condi tions, there won't be a fish left in the river worth catching inside of three years. Even now fishermen are keeping fish that are smaller than tho law allows, because they cannot catch any that are larger. "If the fish wardens would pay us such attention to the big evils as they do to some rancher's little irri gation ditch, there would be no luck of fish iu Rogue river. As it is bow, there are no fish of any size to enter the irrigation ditches. 'Tt looks as though the Ament dam iras actually being maintained in the interests of the Grants Pass com mercial fishermen, who, of course, are making a nice business of net ting and shipping tons of the finest i fish that swim. About 1000 pounds of steel bars were driven in the bot- SALKM, Or., June 18. Since Jay Bowormnn became- acting governor of Oregon no stato in tho uuiou, per haps, has n trio of ns young men in tho most important departments of its administrative branch as docs this state. Tho now acting governor is 33 years; Secretary C. N. McAr thur, the personal representative of Governor Benson, was 31 years old tho other day, while H. n. Corey, who is chief clerk in the offices of tho secretary of stato and has full charge of that office, is but 33 years old. Eastern Oregon never boforo was so well represented in the oxecutivo department, -ur. coreys noine is Baker City, while the new acting governor lives at Condon. C. N. McArthur. whoso homo is in Port land, is Western Oregon's solo rep resentative in the administrative of fices. It is new blood nnd an ng- gressivo combination aud upon which the only restraint of a maturer mind is tho conservative influence winch might be exerted upon occasion by Treasurer of State George A. Steel. Mr. Corey, of tho secretary of state's office, and Acting Governor Bowcromn fought together in the Philippines. Each uttuiued the rank of sergeant and were tntached to Battery B, light artillery, of the Sec ond regiment of Oregon Volunteers. Mr. Corey was chief of tho second division nnd Mr. Bowermau was chief of the fourth scctiou. Mr. Corey is conceded to be one of the most efficient nnd most competent officials iu the state's service at this time, and though older than the other two of the incomparable trio, looks to be the younger. All are bin- men. none weighing less thau 190 pounds. Though having been iu office but two days and part of another, the new acting governor shows au adapt ability for tho job. He has been in office long enough to be besieged with the usual seekers after pardons and after office. In fact, he has al ready granted a pardon or two, par tially investigated nnd recommended by Governor Benson. Applications have been numerous for the position of master fish warden since the an nouncement was made Thursday that II. C. McAllister would nrobnblv re sign. Today Mr. Bowermau left Salem WASHINGTON, 1). C, June 18.--Spenker Cannon replied fiorcoly from tho floor of tho house today to the speeches of tho insurgents made during the debntc on rules reform yesterday. "When my time comes I would rather pass from the house thnn bond my knee before demagogues and self constituted righteous membors of this house who criticise tho speak er," Cannon said. "Some of the members attacking the speaker would not know tho rules if they s' them coming down tho street." Cannon denied that ho had uver smothered legislation. TJie first action of tho house un der the rulo adopted yesterday giv ing tho house power on which com mittees had failed to report was used to call up a bill cutting Democratic representation in Southern states. Bennett (Rep., N. Y.) introduced the resolution discharging tho commit tee. Tho Democrats yesterday voted for the reform resolution. fYtT PrtMnnM TflilA nni A,.1. 1.. ill torn of the river just below the dam I" fio," wn( .":' t ..i . i , 1 Ir some water right cases in the cir cuit court for Wheeler county. After those cases have been disposed of he will return to Salem and resume his official duties here and will remain here until Governor Benson returns in July. Mr. Bowerman became covprnor by fish wardens last year. In two weeks they had all been taken out. No one but seine fishermen would have done this. Pieces of seines have been found on these bars when they havo been allowed to remain in the river for a time. Tho fish ways that have been placed at the dam havo been jokes. They have been altogether inadequate to ac eommodato the millions of fish that seek to pass the dam. "It is no wonder that violence has teen talked of as a method of solv ing the problem. If over a nuisance was maintained with no excuse but loggishness, it is the Amenl dam." PARR DISAPPOINTED WITH FEE OF ONLY $100,000 WASHINGTON, D. C, June 18. Following consideration by the cab inet it is believed today that Richard Parr will receive $100,000 for aiding the government and exposing the sugar frauds. Unless a special ap propriation is made by congress, Parr will .bo paid on the installment plan. Parr, who is a deputy customs col lector, expressed keen disappoint ment when ho was informed of the government's probable action. "I expected nt least 35 per cent of the amount I saved the government,-' ho said. "That would amount to about $800,000." TWO FIRST NUMBERS IN DRAWING NOT PRESENT -r AT THE CHURCHES. .
