The Umpqua Fishermen's Protective Association and all the business interests of the. lower Umpqua
are united in a demand from their fellow citizens of Douglas County, not for charity; not for any undue
advantage; not for an appropriation involving a burden on others; but simply for "the same opportunity to live
and develop a great county Industry that Is enjoyed on the. Rogue and Columbia rivers..
Something has been said about the commercial fishing on the upper river being just as important as that ou
'. the lower river. This is a joke. It 1b only true in the sense that insofar as the right to fish is concerned,
that right is as important as it Is anywhere. But commercial fishing is not and cannot be done to any con
siderable extent on the upper river. It never has and never can amount to an 1 Industry of any size, ;
It is a notorious fact that thousands of fine salmon are annually wasted, without either spawning! or
being taken for sport or commercial purposes. Early in the summer the salmon racks at the hatchery become
filled and are closed, so as to prevent any more from either entering the racks or going on up the river to
the natural spawning grounds. They are held immediately below the racks, where there are no spawning
. grounds, and where by law they cannot be taken by any means. They die and rot In the water by the thousands.
This unscientific arrangement not only is a great economic waste, but greatly pollutes the water which the
people of Roseburg use. It will sooner or later have to be remedied purely on sanitary grounds, it nothing else.
There Is but one thing that prevents it from being worse, and that is, that the amount of salmon fry which
is yearly returned to the Umpqua River from the hatchery is limited to a small fraction of the number of
eggs taken. Should a just proportion of the fry be planted in the river as was the intention, the number of
dead fish would be so increased' that the water would be unusable. :
The small and crude apparatus for flBhlng used on the upper river does not and never can, by reason
of the restricted area in which they are allowed to fish absorb the great surplus that goes to waste.
It is a mistaken assumption that the lower river fishermen catch, or can possioly catch, all, or any con
siderable amount of the salmon during the open season.
- A just and sane plan for the use and development of the fishing Industry demands that the some op
portunity for taking salmon commercially prevail on. tho Umpqua as prevails on the Rogue and Columbia.
That the. amount of salmon in the Umpqua be increased by return to the river a larger proportion of the salmon
fry taken in our own hatchery. And that tho few local anglers cease their obstruction to the proper and legi
timate use and enjoyment of the stream and Hie building up of a great commercial industry. Joining together
and helping to increase the run of salmon for the use. and benefit of all, instead of keeping down the amount
of salmon to its present limits and jealously wrangling over what wo have. . :..:! i-j...

AN OLD RECIPE
TO
Tea - and : Sulphur Turns
Gray, Faded Hair Dark
and Glossy.
Almost everyone knows that 8sge Tea
and Sulphur, properly - compounded,
brings back the natural color and lustre
to ' the hair when, faded, streaked or
gray. Years ago the only way to get this
mixture was to make it at home, which
is smssy and troublesome.
Nowadays we simply ask at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound." You will get a large bottle
of this old time recipe improved by the
addition of other ingredients for about
60 cents. Everybody uses this prepara
tion now, because no one can possibly tell
that you darkened your hair, as It does
it so naturally and evenly. You dampen
a sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this through your hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair disappears, and after another appli
cation or two, your hair becomes beauti
fully dark, thick and glossy and you
look years younger. Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound Is a delightful toilet
requisite. It is not Intended for the cure,
mitigation or prevention of disease,

KEEP FEET DRY
Tells Rheumatism , Sufferers'
Take Salts and Get Rid
of Uric Add.
to
Rheumatism is no respecter of age,
sex,- color or rank. ' If not the most
dangerous of human afflictions It is
one of the most painful. - Those subject
to rheumatism should eat less t meat,
dress as warmly as possible, avoid any
undue exposure and, above all, drink
lots of pure water.
Rheumatism, is caused by uric acid
which is generated in the bowels and
absorbed into the blood. It is the func
tion of the kidneys to filter this acid
from the blood and cast it -out in the
urine ; the pores of the skin are also
a means of freeing the blood of this
impurity. In damp and chilly, cold
weather the skin pores are closed thus
forcing the kidneys to do double work,
they become weak and sluggish and fail
to eliminate this uric acid which keeps
accumulating and circulating through
the system, eventually settling in the
joints and muscles causing stiffness,
soreness and pain raited rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism get
from any pharmacy about four ounces
of Jad Salts; put a tablespoonful in a
?lass of water and drink before break
ast each morning for a week. This
is said to eliminate uric acid by stimu
lating the kidneys to normal action,
thus ridding the blood of these impur
ities. Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia and
is used with excellent results by thou
sands of folks who are subject to rheu
matism. Here you have a pleasant,
effervescent lithta-water drink which
overcomes uric acid and is beneficial
to your kidneys as well.
