NET FISHING AND TOURISTS
By Charles V. Stanton
THE fishing-industry once loomed large in Oregon. For
many years it. was third in importance, being exceeded
only by agriculture and lumbering. Now it is a very poor
fourth, or, very probably, even lower in rank if income fig
ures for the past year were available.
Yet it remains a sizable industry, providing full or part
time employment to several thousand people. Its physical
assets, according to a report by the interim fisheries com
mittee of the state legislature amount to from $15 million
to $20 million.
But the tourist crop in Oregon, as pointed out by Gover
nor Snell in his message to tho state legislature, amounts to
about $50 million annually and should be doubled after the
war.
If it became necessary to choose between one or the
other, tho tourist industry would seem to have the edge.
But we believe it is possible to have both,, if the commer
cial fishing industry is forced to cease robbing the state of
xine ol its major tourist resources goou sports lishing
streams and to put into practice scientific methods of re
search, conservation and propagation. We believe it is
possible to restore the fishing industry to its high place, if
we replace destructive policies, followed for so many years,
with practices which do not have total extinction as their
ultimate goal.
The report of the interim committee, in which continuing
appropriations is recommended, confines itself almost entire
ly to the Columbia river. Coastal streams, aside from the
Columbia, are scarcely mentioned. Whether this resulted
from oversight or was purposely done, we do not know. But
certainly it would have been a most sorry picture had the
legislature been given an over-all picture.
The true story is found in an appendix of schedules which
lists the commercial catches of various species of fish for
each year from 1928 through 1943. This is very revealing
reading. It shows, for instance, that in recent years the
catch of spring Chinook salmon the species which furnishes
food to keep our streams supplied with trout, steelhead and
other game fish besides salmon has amounted on coastal
streams to only ONE-TENTH as much as the the Columbia
river catch.
In other woi'ds, NINE-TENTHS of the spring Chinook
run is in the Columbia river, while all other coastal streams
in Orecon. COMBINED, yield only ONE-TENTH. Yet for

We dont mind an excited ath
letic coach "squawking" about of
ficial decisions during the heat
of a contest. We have at times
"razzed the umpire" ourselves.
But when a coach rushes Into
public print to alibi his team's
defeat by placing the blame oni
officials, we feel it is time the!
olflclals had their Inning.
Virg, Klngslcy, coach of the
Junction City high school basket
ball team, which played in Rose
burg, January 19, is quoted by
Dick Htrite, sports editor of the i
Eugene Register-Guard as rank-1
ing a prolonged howl about the:
officiating at the game played on
the Roseburg court.
Strlte quotes Klngsley as say
ing: "We allowed Roseburg to
come into the league as a mat
ter of courtesy, and the least
they can do is furnish certified
officials." He claimed one of his j
men was disqualified by a foul
which should have been called on
a Roseburg player, charged pil
ing up, and declared his (earn had
taken a physical beating. .

Two particularly rough games

Given unmolested salmon runs, tho coastal streams with

TEMPORARY but admittedly MINOR losses resulting
from removal of nets.
But we ask in all seriousness, why should the state ot Ore

We realize, as we have said previously, that some help

there with problems of high dams, irrigation and pollution,
in addition to those caused by its own folly. We would not
deny a measure of state assistance, within reasonable limits,
to the industry on the Columbia.
