rmfrfmiyW9 ' Medford Mail Tribune SECOND SECTION FIFTH YEAR. MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, JANUARY 22, 1911. No. 2G0. CLASSIFIED ROGUE RIVER AH6LERS STAND PAT FOR FISH LAW PASSED BY PEOPLE Letter Is Sent to Members of State Legislature Protesting Against Any Change Being Made In Law Closing 'Rogue River. Tlio following is a copy of a letter sent members of the legislature Ijv (lie Koguo Uivcr Fish Protective as as as sociateon: Medford, Or., Jan. 20, 1011. Dear Sir: IJy n majority of 2700 the people of Jackson county, and by a majority of 17,000 the people of the state of Oregon voted to close Koguo river to fishing, except with hook and line. This iB the outcome of a 10-year's fight on the part of flu people of the Hogue Hiver val ley for recognition of their rights. There is nothing to indicate that the people of Oregon have changed their minds. Certainly the people of the Hogue River valley have not. We understand an effort is being made to nullify by legislation the ex pressed wishes of an overwhelming majority of the people, but cannot believe it is seriously considered. This association fathered the in itiative measure now become a law, and stands pat on its original con tention. If the law works an injus tice upon any one, the alleged vic tims brought it upon themselves by many years of abuse. We respectfully ask you to op pose any legislative action that will in anywise modify or change this law enacted by the people of the state of Oregoli.
