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.

By Viahnett S. 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.

PACIFIC HIGHWAY IS
MOBILIZING'
There is a revival going on In
the Pacific Highway Association.
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.

In this connection we might add
a word of caution:
"No one highway hat exclus

to Ignore the Just claims of com

sound approach."
