SPORTSMEN WANT DAM

At a recent meeting of the Rose
burg and Douglas County Merchants
Association the Umpqua fish hatchery
was discussed at considerable length.
At the present time the hatchery is
equipped for caring for salmon only
and It Is the oplnl onthat It would
be of benefit to this section of the
state If- trout and steelhead eggs
could be also taken from It. In or
der to accomplish this It was toe
necessary to construct a dam across
the river which would stand the win
ter waters. Two pools for feeding
and rearing the fry would.be re
quired. 'With a permanent dam a fine lot
of steelheadB and trout eggs could
be taken each year. Governor
WIthycombe has been asked to give
the proposition his consideration.
