I s I : i FIGHT TO IB ROGUE RIVE FISH BILL AGBT IIOHE An Estate That It Took a Lifetime to Build Up Swept Away by An Initiative Bill Inaugurated by a Rod and Gun Club at Medford Widow Hume Takes Up the Fight Where Her Husband Dropped It. Tho law enacted by the people clos ing tho Rogue river to fishing except with hook and line Involves such a flagrant, case of destruction of a large Industry and valuable property be longing to the Hume estate that the widow Ihih come heforo the legisla ture for relief. The Hume property bag carried on the propagation of nalmon more extensively than any other fishery In Oregon, Bnd tho es tate was about to ho sold for neurly a million dollars and divided among about 40 heirs, when the sportsmen of Medford and Grants Pass Initiated bill closing the river forever to Ashing wlth anything but a hook and line. That was done to make the up per Itogua river valley a hunters and Ushers' paradise, while the millions f salmon that will never bite at any kind of a bait or lure must go to waste and die and clog the stream with dead fish. A reasonable adjust ment ought to bo niudn to allow the commercial tishory to take the com mercial fish and allow fish for ang ling to go up tho stream. Following letter In. this morning's Oregonlan ahows tho plight of the widow Hume who arrived In Salutn Inst night to make the light of her rights In the legislature. The Danger I.lue to Property. "Ashland, Ore., Jan. 24. (To the Editor.) Let us have a little more light on the Rogue River flHh law that closed tho stream to commercial Ashing by the Initiative process at the last election. Was It nit represented by those who circulated tho petitions for this act that there was no Inten tion to Interfere with tho large mil nion fishing business In tidewater on the lower river? What Interest bad the railroad In this act of business assassination that their employes! should circulate tho petitions. How many men were truthfully Informed tin this question when they voted on It? Who is henellted by tlilM. the worst piece of legislation ever adopt ed by a people who boast of their In telligence and honesty and who would like, to have It said of Oregon that. It lias the best system of government In the world? Only by persistent Inquiry can one secure the facts. The railroad com pany is the only benellcluiy of tills act. hh II now gets the long haul or all llsh for Southern Oregon from Portland Instead nf distributing them from Grants 1'ass as heretofore. ' There was about $18,000 worth of salmon caught eneh year at Grants Pans by residents of that city and vvkrlnlty. but they did not have the lnrge amount of capital In the busi ness that ' the lower river fishermen had. fan it be possible the big vote In Multnomah county for this law was due alone to fishermen voting to help their business at tho expense of the Ashing business on Rogue River? Uou't you think some Portland busi ness men could see that this act would brine southern Oregon money to Portland for llsh? The only other fellow who thinks ho Is benefited by this freak law Is thu so-called rod and line sport, who takes a bottle ami a Mte and wudes tho riffles once or twico a year for salmon trout. Tin; decrease of tiout In Rogue Rlv r Is not due to the siilinon-tlahlng business as much as ll Is due to the finis of damn obstructing this stream and Ihn constant shirting of tho pnivel bnrH which destroy the salmon spawn. This shining of gravel In the riffles where tho sah.n n ckks are tle lioslted, Is due to the placer mining on this stream and Iw tributaries Had the promoter of tills angling net of Injustice been consistent they would have stopped the washing of jgravel Into this sacred stream by Hie Vlaocr mine, it Is .'or s'l On eon to lie proud of such legislation what would bo said of a legislature that would do such Injustice on so slight pretence? Hut the people can make no mistake, they are. Infallible. Wo are proud of our power, and, like the cougar In our mountains after be Jumps on the back of a defenseless deer and sinks his teeth Into the Jug ular veins, with his paws nnd Jnws red with the victim's blood he stunds on his captive and looks about with an expression of triumph and self satisfaction. Oregon needs ctnploy-mont-glvlng Industries before her population can Increase much more. How do mon In other states who con template developments on this Coast look upon such laws as this one? "Is It a commendable act to assass inate the principal business In Isolat ed Curry county and throw many men with families out of employment there on the shallow excuse of cater ing to the so-called sportsmen? It took tho late R. D. Hume ninny years to build up the fishing Industry at the mouth of the river; he not only expended hundreds of thousands of dollars but he maintained hatcheries where he propagated at least three salmon for every one that he caught. Is It an act to be proud of to assassi nate tho remnants of a business that has always; boon and Is yet legal on every river between hero and the Arctic Circle? What a proud people wo Hhould be when we think of the aged pioneer widow trying to hold the Hume estate together. Her reward for Industry, Isolation and tho hard ships of pioneering Is to see the busi ness her huslmnd built up by years of persistent effort assassinated by this groat state. "This Is one act that deserves prompt, reversal by our legislature now In session or the fruits of It will be most unprofitable to Oregon. He fore we brag too much of tho Initia tive or recommend It too strongly to others, let us watch Its results a Ut ile closer. A few mistakes like this will keep as many business men with capital out of Oregon as all the boost ing literature we send out will attract this way."

There is only one way to cure deaf ness, and that Is by constitutional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an Inflamed condition of the mucous lin ing of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube Is Inflamed you have a rumbling sound or Imperfect bearing, and when It Is entirely closet, deaf ness Is the result, and unless the In flammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, Soaring will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of 10 are caused by tarrh. which is nothing but an In laaied condition of the mucous sur 'uees.
