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!

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.

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

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.

after setting forth that govern

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.

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.

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.
