FISH HATCHERIES SHOW DEFICIT By Charles V. Stanton RESTORATION of Oregon's commercial fish hatcheries to a legislative appropriation basis has been suggested as a means of solving the problem of a mounting deficit in that department. It is estimated that the state's fish hatch eries will be $15,000 in the red by the end of July, the chief causes of the deficit being ascribed to lower poundage reve nues and the fact that fewer fishermen are operating this season. , , The appeal to restore fish hatcheries to support at cost to the tapayers is, in our opinion, an admission of the fail ure of the hatchery system to produce results. Commercial fish hatcheries were built and have been maintained fOr 'the purpose of restocking Oregon streams with food fish. For a number of years the hatcheries were maintained at public expense. They were then transferred to the fish commission, which was separated from the game commission, and the hatcheries were placed under a pro gram whereby they would be financed by poundage fees collected from the commercial operators. Despite the expenditure of thousands upon thousands of dollars in the past few years, catches by commercial fisher men, with perhaps a few exceptions, have decreased steadily. Now the admission is made that poundage fees are not suf ficient to support the hatchery program and that the sys tem is already in the red by approximately $15,000. There" is, of course, the angle of wartime conditions. which have' affected practically all types of operation and which would obviously hit fish hatcheries, where inepme is less and expenses are higher than before the war.. But this matter of fish hatcheries' goes back far before the war. Despite the large sum of money spent on hatchery construction, operation and maintenance, on the Umpqua river, the run of chinook salmon, which this hatchery was built to increase, has become almost extinct, when com pared to that of 30 or 40 years ago. A great many people will disagree with our opinion. Thev may be right and we may be wrong, but we believe our present- hatchery system to be more destructive to fish life than beneficial. Nature provided a method whereby salmon struceled to tho very upper tributaries of our streams to spawn in cold waters, where there were fewer predatory fish than in the lower reaches. Furthermore,' as the adults died on their way downstream, their carcasses furnished feed for craw fish and for the salmon minnows. Thus the small fish had ample feed all of the way back to the ocean. Where, a few years ago, the bed of the TJmncma river was red with crawfish, one of the best sources of food for; adult fish life, it is seldom that even one is seen today. This, j we Dcueve, is because they have been deprived of their natural feed, the carcasses of the dead salmon. Our hatcheries halt the progress of the salmon on their! w"5' "P,treiuV'. force th(iil spawning, grind the carcasses imo jeeci, nancueea tnp'iry until thev are tam n. hnn. kittens', then turn them loose in warm waters filled with 11 kinds of predatory fish and with no instinct of self- pi'otectiOh. Since the racks on the Umpqua river have been removed. persons who have had occasion to travel along the tribu- aries ana headwaters of the stream report soeimr a irood many salmon on the upper spawning beds. If the racks aro left out of the river and the fish given an opportunity to spawn naturally and unmolested, we may within the nexfi lew years have proof whether our theory that nature knows more than man about fish propagation is correct, or whether we must take our hats off and make humble apology to the exponents of more and better hatcheries, an art wp will ho glad to perform if only by some method, we can retrain the wonderful salmon fishing tho L'mpqua river afforded in years gone by. Beavers Lose to V .aimers; Seals Agam Top League (By the Associated Press) The Seattle Rainlers added four Portland errors to 14 hits last night to hand the Beavers un 8 to 4 pasting. The errors spelled the differ ence In the game as but three of the Rainier runs were chalked up as earned efforts. Mossor, Beaver pitcher who hurled eight innings; struck out nine and in the third inning pitched himself from' a deep hole when, with the bases loaded, he struck out Rainier Out fielders Christopher and R. John son and forced Splndell to fly out. The loss dropped Portland to within two games of the ta4I end Sacramento Solons, who rallied with two runs in the ninth Inning last night to defeat San Diego 6 to 5. Seattle moved Into third place behind Oakland, as San Francis co went to the top of the league through an 8 to 1 trumph over the Acorns. Joyce, Seal pitcher, gave up 9 hits, the same number as the Seals collected, but was able to keep them scattered. Five walks and an Acorn error help- cC the Seals along. , In the league's other game the Los Angeles Angels blanked the Hollywood Stars 3 to 0 on the six-hit pitching of Prim, who fan ned six in chalking up his tenth victory of the season.

THE Japs say us this is written that planes from un American nnval task force are attacking the Bonlns-halfway to Japan from the Murittnas containing Sal-pun). E VERYWHERE (except in China) the news i iuvors our side spectacularly. In Fourth of July speeches all over America, our brags' huts warn us not to get TOO confident that the war won't be over until the' last Jap and the last Gei'rhun lay down their' guns. The best Job is done by General Somervell, head of our supply service, who points out that now, while the fighting Is hottest and the destruction' greatest, is when our home front factories must TURN OUT THE MOST WEAP ONS. He udds that' recent good news has persuaded some of us that the war is as good as won and so we can throw up our war Jobs and go back to civilian life, Then he concludes: "No dodbt most' of the men at the front would also like easier and better-paid peacetime' Jobs, but they are sticking to the Jobs they have now." That's a good thing for us to remember. the big home-front political job this year, this would be a eood me for you to re read the Dec laration of Independence, which after setting forth that govern ments- derive their Just powers from the consent of the govern ed, but sometimes ABUSE their ipowers, says: . . . When a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the sims object, cvl dence a DESIGN to reduce them (the people) under absolute des potism, It is their DUTY to throw off such government and provide NEW guards for their future security." ' The American way to throw off one government and provide an other is to go to the polls, vote our convictions and then accept the result.

Know why this picture is unusual ? IS waste mm least Hint's our day. and waste paper is desperately needed for the 700.000 vital war items made or wrapped with paper. So take another look at your cellar or wherever th"re may be waste paper around the house. Clean out your old files, useless magazines and books. Bundle up every scrap of waste paper. Put it out on the curb for collection tomorrow! This picture illustrates a story that couldn't be told very many years ago ... a story that but let's start at the be ginning. You're on a train, S. P.'s Streamlined Daylight, let's say. (That's iU engino you see passing above.) Four and a half hours ago you left San Francisco for Los Angeles. Your train is climbing up to the crest of the Santa Lucius up tho winding steel path that is the Santa Margarita grade. . But wait . . . look there ahead. Another train is coming down. A long freight train. And then it happens. Tho thing that makes the pictuto above so unusual. Neither train stops. You're on single track, but neither train stops. Like the picture shows, the two trains pass. The answer? Tho answer is one of the most important de velopments in railroading. It's a $17,000-a-Qilo "gadget" called C.T.C. Centralized Traflic Control. thought for the Oil extracted from dehydrated sweet potatoes is several times cr.cj In vitamin A than cod liv er oil, Texas experiments Eugge&t. I 0. S. VICTORY I WASTE PAPER j CAMPAIGN j Miles from the meeting point of the Daylight and the freight, a dispatcher sits before a C.T.C. board. Colored lights show him the progress of both trains. At the right moment he moves levers connected electrically with track signals and switched. In response, tho freight glides onto a passing track, proceeds at reduced speed the Daylight "highballs" past, Then the freight toils back onto the main line, '' " " ' Running time is saved, for once a heavy freight is stopped it takes a while to regain full speed. And C.T. C. eliminates delays for delivery of train orders, and for hand-opening and closing of switches by the train crews. The great sweep of West and South where S. P. lines run for over 15,000 miles, is a land of vast distances and tough mountain grades. Here single track has been adequate in many cases to handle normal traffic. But with the abnormal war load, some of this line required greater capacity. At a time when new rail is hard to get, and we are pressed for manpower, C.T.C. is a bottleneck buster which helps us make the existing trackage carry maxi mum traffic. Today, besides the installation over Santa Margarita grade; we have C.T.C. at many important points in California and ' along our Ovcrland and Sunset Routes. What does all this add up to? Just this. S. P.'s transcontinental routes bring troops and an immense volume of war material from Chicago and New Orleans and through the Pacific Northuvst to Pacific Coast ports for the war with Japan. Where C.T.C. is installed on these routes, the train handling capacity of single trick sections is expanded 50 to 75 per cent. The Victory trains must keep rolling. C.T.C. is just another way S. P. is making sure they do keep rolling faster and faster and still faster. , MA Jhe friendly Southern Pacific
