More than 200 persons, repre

Senator C. W. Clark of Douglas

of Oregon, except xbe Columbia

The hearing was conducted by

Representatives, from nearly nil
coastal streams were present to
urge passage of the bill, while
there was also a large representa

particularly , from the . Umpqua

Arguments for the closing of the
streams were presented under the

The memorial, signed by Repre

stood, the fish rim was constantly
decreasing in rivers, and that the
proper place for commercial fish
ing was not in streams but on the
coast.
Major Status Disputed
It was asserted that fishing from
coastal streams rurnished less than
25 per cent of the totalj and that
the fishing industry . was not a
major 'one.
Opponents of Senator Clark's
proposed bill charged sportsmen
with "wishing to save commercial
industry." Andrew J. Naterlin,
Newport, who led the, opposition,
declared that the hatcheries kept
up propagation of fish. Other
speakers declared that the ocean
was not the natural site of the in
dustry, since ft served as a ."pas
ture" for the roving schools.
James Ford, of the Umpqua riv
er region, asserted that commer
cial fishermen "guarded their in
dustry" and did not need sugges
tions from sportsmen. To the com
plaint that fish were lacking on
the upper ' roaches of coastal
streams, he replied that other
causes, including pollution, affect
