wrong places. Our natural ten
dency Is to stick to the big streets.
Here you're pretty certain to find
the best eating spots in the most
.unlikely places.
" The "hunting around" situation
is also complicated by the early
'closing hours of the general run
of reslaurants. Most of them spe
cialize on breakfast, luncheon and
tea. Relatively few stay open for
dinner.
OUR best bet for luncheon
I will be a "pub" If you do your
picking carefully. Which will
tinkle oddly in American ears.
for a pub is just a saloon. But the
variety of pubs in London is
literally endless. If you'll look
long enough, you'll find whatever
you are looking for.
: Some of these pubs Just
wouldn't be believed in the States.
Drinkers would take one look and
dash off to sign the pledge, think
ing the habit was creeping up on
them and they were beginning to
Bee things.
They'll be named, for example,
the Coach and Horses, or the Red
Llun, or something like that, and
as like as not they'll have flower
pots around all the windows and
more potted flowers Inside and
maybe a motherly looking woman
as barmaid. And tucked away
Somewhere, probably upstairs,
will be a little dining room that
Is clean and tidy and serves food
well above the average.
Hi
iOTHING Is commoner here
than eating places in connec-
; tion with a pub, for the British
; like food with their drink. With
j their strong drink, that is. Water
' is Just never served with a meal,
j unless you demand It.
; ; Nor do you get a napkin unless
' you make a scene about it, even
; at the big placess. Americans who
i . have lived here a long time say
J that even before the war napkins
were seldom provided, and if vou
r insisieu on one an extra ennrge
was usually made for It on the
i. bill.
T
IPPIN'G runs about the same
or perhaps a little moiw, is about
the average rule. An American
at a hotel gets a Jolt, for he
leaves a tip at the table and sheds
j tips to the porter and the mes
' senger and the doorman and so
, on, and then when he gets Ills
; bill hD finds 10 per cent added to
it for 'gratuities." After which,
; Just on general prlncipless, he'll
: be tighter than the bark on a
tree.
DESSERT here is called a
"sweet." There are all kinds of
: sweets, but file tart gets this
; writer's money. A tart Is an open
' faced pie, served in square rather
- than conical pieces. And on the
r shallow side. A thicker one is
apt to be called a pudding. They
explain that PIE has a top on it.
The British war diet Is ade
quate, and the figures show that
health has Improved during the
war because of better dietetic
balance, but there Is no more
sugar than the law nllows, and
you soon find that your sweet
is relished, even though you may
not have been fond of desserts
in the Statess. Candy is scarce,
mid what little there is is strictly
rationed.
Britain, incidentally, produces
all her own sugar, from beets,
which is quite nn achievement,
saving a lot of shipping.
By Charles V. Stanton
Two matters of greatest importance to propagation and
conservation of fish life on the Umpqua river were brought
to public attention Monday. The State Game commission
in preparing to start scientific study on the river and its
tributaries, while lower Umpqua commercial finherm'eh; are
placing before the State Fish commission a request for
development of the Mill Creek hatchery on a permanent
basis. 'iii
While there may remain elements for dispute between
sports and commercial fishermen on the Umpqua river, both
groups are in full accord on the necessity for the study pro
posed by the Game commission. From this study, which is
set up for a period Of six years, we will be able to obtain
data necessary to build up fish life and recreational re
sources. Any recommendations made at present are based entirely
upon individual beliefs, opinions and theories resulting from
general observation. We know that fish life is rapidly de
clining, but dozens of reasons may be advanced for this con
dition, none benring scientific authority but premised,
rather, upon observations of persons who are acquainted
with the river either in recreational or commercial capaci
ties. In other words, we can CLAIM certain factors are
contributing to the decline in fish life and can offer what we
believe is proof as to why the decline exists, but we have no
statistics, no records, no scientific data to serve as evidence.
The fish commission proposes to count the migratory fish
in the river. This will be done in several ways. Two count
ing stations will be set up at the Winchester dam. These
will be towers over the fishways permitting Observers to
look into the water and tally fish as they pass over a white
board. Experience has proven that such counts are ex
tremely accurate. Fish will be seined in the lower river,
tagged and released and their migration followed. Spawn
ing habits will be learned. Within a short time we shall
know the seasons of migration, the hours during which fish
travel, the principal spawning beds, the amount of food in
the river, the chemical content of the water and numerous
other factors connected with fish propagation. From these
findings it should be possible to develop better stream man
agement. The fish life of the Umpqua river still is sufficiently
abundant that recreational resources can be restored
through proper regulation and management, but we can
not delay much longer, for rapid decline in several species
in late years indicates ultimate extinction for some fish is
certain within the near future if protective measures arc
not taken very soon.
Another most important project is advanced by com
mercial fishermen of the lower Umpqua, who are seeking
improvement to the Silver-side hatchery at Mill creek. P'ail
ure of the State Fish commission to build up the Mill creek
hatchery has long been a source of annoyance to Uoedsport.
Heavy loss occurred two years ago when an earthen dam
was washed out by high water and holding ponds were
flooded, taking out hundreds of thousands of small fish, as
yet unable to protect themselves from aquatic predators of
the tidewater area. Although the hatchery has been re
stored in a makeshift fashion, nothing has been done of
a permanent nature. Commercial fishermen are asking
improvements estimated to cost about $13,000 to provide
capacity for holding two million salmon fingerliugs, while
an equal number of smaller fish are proposed to be released
in upper river tributaries as soon as they are large enough
to protect themselves.
At the last session of the legislature a bill No. 078
was passed which would limit commercial fishing on the
Umpqua river to the period from July 1 to October 1. This
would eliminate net fishing for spring Chinook salmon,
leaving SilversideS as the principal salmon catch on the
lower river. The development of increased hatching ca
pacity is believed to be of the greatest importance if the
industry is to be preserved.

Newt Cannon, president of the

V. Anderson, secretary, left
Heedsport this morning to meet
today at Portland with the Ore
gon State Kish commission to
urge enlargement of the Mill
creek salmon hatchery and in
stallation of permanent dams
ami holding ponds.
The Mill creek hatchery has
been operated as a makeshift
plant for several years. Two years
ago holding pens and a tem
porary dam were washed out by
flood waters, causing a consider
able loss of fish. Replacements
since made are of only a tem
mrary nature.
Lower Umniiua fishermen have
at their own expense conducted
n survey of (lie property and
have designed a tentative plan for
permanent dams and enlarged
holding pens, and propose Inl

provements estimated to cost ap
proximately 513,000, Secretary
Anderson reports.
It is estimated that the hatch
ery constructed in accordance
with the proposed plans would
have capacity for holding approxi
mately two million Silverside sal
mon until large enough to re
lease in the tidewater area. In
addition, another two million or
more fish could be hatched for
distribution to upper tributaries
of the Umpqua river while still
small In size, although large
enough to escape predators.
The Roseburg Chamber of
Commerce and Roseburg Hod ind
Gun club, together with the N.-ws-Review,
joined today in telegrams
to the Kish commission uiging
favorable consideration ot the
Heedsport proposal.
