Tyke and John MJ CONTROLS OYER FISHERIES By CHARLES V. STANTON ' In the same isgue of The Sewi-Review in which we pub lished an editorial from the Astorian Budget attacking our viewg on commercial fiatiing in Oregon, there appeared a news item from Washington reporting that the Alaskan fishing season had been closed because of reduction in salmon migration. The Alaskan fishing industry is under strict control. Whenever migration declines below the safety margin, fish ermen are required to cease fishing. By this method of pro tection the federal government hopes to prevent total destruction of salmon runs. Howard Baltzo, chief of Alaska fisheries for the Fish and Wildlife Service, is quoted in the news dispatch as saying: Something drattio mutt b den or th Induitry may pa out of xltnc within a fw yaar. Basically it't a ciu of evarfiihing to much of all kind of gear. It takt big ones to product littl on and It't th big en that art blng killed. If something drastic is required to save the industry in Alaska, where scientific controls have been in effect for several years, what are we to expect here in Oregon where the commercial fishery operates just about as it pleases and opposes every form of conservation? The Oregon Fish Commission recently has shown improve ment in its conservation regulations. Scientific studies, made under the direction of Master Fish Warden Arne Suomela and Chief Biologist Don McKernin, have shown the need for better management and the Commission has become in creasingly "tough" with the industry. But to date only minor improvements have been made while the cost to taxpayers has been heavy. Packers are extremely resistant to every conservation proposal. On the other hand, the men w ho must depend upon the fishery for a livelihood the men who actually catch the fish are becoming even more conservation-minded than are the sports enthusiasts. The Columbia River Fishermen's Protective Association will sponsor a measure on the forthcoming election ballot to remove de structive fixed gear, traps and seines from the Columbia. We may rest assured the packers will spend many thousands of dollars to beat the bill. It takes little ones to produce big ones In Oregon waters the same as in Alaskan waters, but we allow our commercial fishery to deplete salmon migrations while we pour money into subsidies for a hatchery program in the face of con tinued reductions in fish runs. Industrie Front to Commit Sulcldt Industries actually commit suicide. We are accused by the Astorian Budget of proposing "elimination" of the commer cial fishery. We have no such desire. On the other hand, we believe if we do not take "drastic action" in Oregon, the same as said to be necessary in Alaska, the commercial fishery will destroy itself, and, at the same time, will carry with it to oblivion a recreational industry which offers many millions of dollars annually to the state if properly protected and managed. Everyone knows how the grazing interests have destroyed land productivity in many sections of our country because they stocked ranges too heavily. Instead of correcting their methods, however, stockmen are railing against federal grazing restrictions and are even trying to compel the gov ernment to permit them to buy national forest lands so they may continue their destructive practices. The timber industry has left a trail of waste and desola tion across the continent and has now reached a place where conservation must be enforced. Yet segments of the industry are fighting with every device against regulation. Industry will continue to waste and destroy the public resource as long as there is a dollar's profit to be made thereby, and the commercial fishery is as guilty as any other. Our belief is that commercial fishing should immediately be halted in all coastal streams of Oregon, with the possible exception of the Columbia, and that the latter stream be subjected to strict conservation practices. Such action, in our opinion, would relieve the state of a huge subsidy for the commercial fishery which required more than $750,000 for the current biennium, with an estimated return of approxi mately $250,000 in poundage fees because opportunity would be afforded for natural restoration of salmon runs. The commercial fishery thereby would be preserved against self-destruction. At the same time there would be retained for the State of Oregon a recreational industry which will grow in importance, whereas the commercial fishery is declining rapidly in Oregon waters despite the continued unprofitable subsidies extracted from taxpayers.

Martin A very good Imitation of a ma chine gun came across the coun ter! to where I was absorbed In In the relative merits of bibs and rattlea for the new grandson. I glanced up to see a former neigh bor, blond and blue--yed, trying out a toy affair that was spitting spark most realistically. I couldn't see the children prob ably with her, and that made It funnier. With a most cerious ex pression she picked up another "gun" and away It went, rat-tatting ... I went around the coun ters tu where she was and we laughed together. The children's gift paid for and wrapped, she was ready to hear the latest neighborhood news. "A cougar on our porch!" the exclaimed, "Don't I wish I'd been there!" Remembering her non chalance with the toy gun, I could imagine the ease with which she would have handled something more efficacious for the cougar. The cougar had been tracked by dogs next morn.ng from her former home on the hill about 700 feet to the southwest of us, across the road to another neighbor's, and then up past our garage. That's all I know about It. But I hope It arrived In Roseburg In proper style for they do raise havoc, I'm told, with deer and do mesticated animals. But cougars don't leave neat bullet holes In cows and horses . . . this same neighbor lost a cow through a deer-hunter's too hasty shot. Again last season, another cow, and the calves dependent from her were lost, too. I read In the paper last fall that another rancher on up our road a ways had lost a horse; found it in the pasture, shot. Frankly I don't like Oregon during deer season! Last fall three boys were hunting up back on the hill and one was shot what a price to pay for "sport"! I don't understand why, during a few specified weeks, anybody can grab a rifle and roam all over anybody's property, shoot ing at the first thing that moves, it sometimes seems. Last year a doe lay below our road what a pity! Deer are such beautiful crea tures. I have found their dainty hoof-prints In the mud by our ceek. Soon hunters will he roam ing all over the hill again. I sup pose, hunting them, making It un safe for stock, and for owners of the land, too.

Jose Early, of the Osburn Hotel, Is heading the movement in this area. Business Interests along the highway from Ashland to Port land are being mobilized, and the objectives are two-fold early completion of the long-needed re construction program of this ar terial, and advertising to Increase its traffic and trade. The Pacific Highway Associa tion Is not new. It has had a continuous existence for nearly 20 years, and Eugene has usually had an active part in Its affairs. Till now the Association has nev er had consistent support from the communities north of Eu gene, and It is an encouraging sign that Salem and other cities to the north are taking hold. During the vear preceding World War II, the Pacific High way reached one of Its peaks of activity, and among some of Its accomplishments may be cited: Campaign to designate certain major arterlals as "military high ways" which led eventually to the official designation of certain highways for federal aid. In this slate US 99 and US 30 are the only "inter-reglonals." Reconstruction of Siskiyou and Sexton mountain sections and development of the program for rebuilding the whole rout to modern standards. Working alliances with the California State Chamber of Commerce and with Important groups in Washington and Brit ish Columbia. However, In spite of all that was done In the past It will re quire many millions and many years to complete the moderniz ation of US 99 In Oregon and frankly we do not see how the reconstruction of US 99 or US .10 or any of the other maior arterlals of the Oregon system can be kept In pace with popula tion and traffic growth without: 1. A huge highway bond pro gram which would certainly require additions to state gas tax. 2. More liberal federal aid. because In thlt day of high costs the federal government's alloca tion of SVIO.Onn.OOO year spread over 48 states Is pla'lnly Inade quate. As w see It the major oppor tunity and obligation of such an organization at Pacific High way Association I to get more miles of modern road built, and In this connection we might add a word of caution: "No one highway hat exclus ive Importance, and no tingle highway association can afford to Ignore the Just claims of com peting highways and highway groups. The development of high ways at a SYSTEM Is the only sound approach." As "inter regional!" I'S 99 and US 3ft have a leading position In Oregon hut they cannot afford petty wars with US 97 or US 101 or the Willamette, th Santiam. the Warm Springs, th Central Oregon or anv of the other great armt of the "traffic building tvt tern. Nor can mrh an organl7tlnn at th Pacific Highway Associa tion b effective If Its' members Indulge futile rivalries.
