STANTON Action by the Roseburg Rod and Gun club, endorsing the proposal to limit angling in the North Umpqua river east of Rock creek to artificial flies, may be expected to stir up some resentment and criticism from fishermen who prefer other types of tackle. . Criticism of the club, we feel, is undeserved. The de cision was reached at a meeting open to all members. Ihe issue was thoroughly debated. Action was determined by majority vote. . The Roseburg Rod and Gun club has worked in close cooperation with the state game department. As an organ i lation it has been very active in efforts to improve the fish and wildlife resource. It fought vigorously to remove de structive commercial fishing from the river. It was largely instrumental in getting scientific studies started. It had a hand in promoting hatchery releases of legal sized trout to provide recreation in a badiy depleted stream. It has worked to improve hunting conditions. It has cooperated in the rear ing of game birds. The club, at much expense, purchased and developed public recreational facilities at its club grounds facilities which may have to be restricted in use because of public abuse and vandalism. The club's record, we believe, indicates it is conscien tious in its actions. Fish Runs Badly Depleted At the time commercial fishing was halted on the Ump qua river migratory fish runs had become seriously depleted. The state game department initiated a study in which migra tion has been carefully measured and balanced against the kill. Studies have been made of water conditions, food sup plies and many other matters affecting fish life. Scientists in charge of this study declare that rehabili tation of the river is seriously handicapped through use of bait and flashing or wobbling lures by anglers. In the section east of Rock creek small fish congregate In the quiet eddies, Because the hook is deeply imbedded when these undersized fish are hooked on bait, a large per centage die. Fewer of the undersized fish would be caught on f!, the scientists contend, and, when so caught, are usu ally hooked in the lip and are not seriously injured. When nets were removed from the river, regulations were adopted prohibiting sports fishing for salmon east of Rock creek. The law, however, prevents only the "taking of salmon. There is no prohibition against hooking and playing a fish, then releasing it. With the advent of spinning tackle, many anglers have made a deliberate sport of hooking salmon, wrestling them on light tackle, then releasing them. Salmon do not feed after entering the river. They have stored strength suffi cient, under normal conditions, to carry them through to spawning season, after which they die. When their strength is exhausted by several successive fights with anglers, their vitality is spent and they do not survive to spawn, the scientists contend. Thus by barring bait, which destroys small fish, and flashing and wobbling lures, which kill salmon in resting holes, it is hoped to conserve both brood stock and down stream migrants. Must Limit Destructive Tackle Nets were barred from the Umpqua river because that particular type of gear was destructive to fish life. If such rule applies to commercial fishing, it also should apply to sports fishing. If scientists are correct in their opinion that . bait and ' spinners are excessively destructive in the "hatchery and nursery" section of the river, as they term the portion of the river under dispute, then there is adequate , reason for the restriction they propose. It is our personal belief that the game department men who reached this decision are concerned only with the prob lem of conservation. We believe that they wore not influ enced by any desire to discriminate against any particular type of tackle except on the mutter of destructivencss. Know, ing them intimately, we have the utmost confidence in their honesty and integrity. We do not believe they could be pre vailed upon to'mnke their recommendation to favor any indi vidual, group or class. If, as represented, tho proposed regulation offers op portunity to speed rehabilitation of the river, it should be accepted by all true conservationists. It should have the support and cooperation of all sportsmen interested in im provement of the river's productive capacity. WASHINGTON Not every American who has been to Moscow has come back home a Communist, nor was he necessarily a Comunist to start with. This is particularly true of the thousands of American college professors and teachers who journeyed to the Kremlin watering tank during the mid 1930's to absorb Soviet propaganda at Moscow uni versity. I We hear howadaya, whenever aomeone getj tagged aa a Rusaian lover, that the romance atarted during World War 11 when both Moscow and Washington had one goal in mind lick the Germans. Maybe so, but some official Rus sian puolicationa reveal that a number of American educators were displaying considerable curi osity about the Kremlin long before the shooting started in the late global fracas. in tact, It was in 1933 that a group of American educators suc cumbed to Soviet bidding and or ganized an American advisory committee to drum up atudenta lor tne Moscow university summer session. Twenty-five U. S. teachers and atudenta of education made Ihe pilgrimage that year. They studied for a month and then took a two-week conducted tour of the Soviet Union. In 1934, two hundred and twelve American students, principals, professors, psychologists and so cial workers journeyed to the Com munist mecca. There was a sum mer session at Moscow university for Americans in 1935 and later years, but 1 haven't eot the num ber or names of those who took tne journey. Soviet travel agenciei In the U. S., principally Intourist. Inc.. in New York City, arranged for the tourists to get to Moscow cheap ana easy, a special low rate on ocean liners was provided, alon with a subsidy paid by Intourist, Inc., so the junketing professors wouldn't have to travel steerage. Times were tough in the U. S. in 193S and relatively few other Amer icans were doing much traveling of any kind. At Moscow university, instruction generally was in tne English lan guage. Translators were provided however, when prominent Soviet leaders lectured the Americans in Russian on the finer points of Com munist tecnniques. Of course, noth ing was said of the great blood purgei underway in Russia at the time at least not in the univer sity. Since Intourist, Inc., admitted that there was ' considerable fra ternization among Russians and From Sale Of Blood Plasma Not Made By Red Cross Harold Shanks, lied Cross, Douglas County chapter, blood pro gram recruitment chairman, to day stated that he has received from the department of Defense, a statement concerning the sale of blood plasma at Nashville, Tenn. The incident was reported In a recent radio broadcast of a nationally-known radio commentator and in a newspaper article of a well-known columnist.

Apparently not many did, since several who returned have been consistent champions of the good life under Communist dictators. Ono of the required courses at Moscow university was "Drinciples of the collective and socialist so ciety." You couldn't take any of the other coursea until you had been exposed to this one. The idea of a Moscow univer sity for Americans originated "as a result of an experiment con ducted during the summer of 1933 by a group of American educa tors," Intourist, Inc., admitted in its propaganda. Naturally, Mos cow did a little prodding, but ap parently ot much was necessary. During the 1935 session, accord ing to Intourist, Inc., Dr. George S. Counts and Dr. Hcber Harper, professors of education at Teach ers college, Columbia university, acted as advisors. Recent testimony before the Mc- Carran senate internal security sub-committee revealed that Co lumbia university has had two ac tive communist party cells Hour ishing on the campus for years Educator John Dewey, the hero of the National Education associa tion, was connected with Moscow university. He had a lot to say about the Soviet Union, but I don't recall his mentioning that the Kremlin is dedicated to the vio lent overthrow of the U. S. govern ment by foi?e. Tomorrow I'll have some more to say about the American advis ory committee of Moscow univer sity, from a list published by In tourist, Inc.

In his Editor's Notebook column In the Ashland Tidings Uraham Dean quotes Robert O'Brien of San Francisco on the origin of the word Siskiyou. . There are two versions, O'Brien says. One (toward which many auth orities lean) is that Siskiyou is an Indian word for bob-tailed horse. The story is that Alex McLeod, a Hudson's Bay company man re turning to Vancouver from Cali fornia in 1828, lost a bangtail horse, which he prized highly, in the mountains that separate Oregon from California. montary schools sending pupils to Hosoburg high school, should result In higher soholaslic achievements in the high school.

The disadvantages of reorgan isation aro bolh financial and psy chological, a. The rcorgoniicd dis trict or districts will receive less money from the state and probably spend less. b. The reorganized dis trict will not be subsidized by the rural school district, c. The "sta tus quo" of school districts to which people are accustomed, will be dis- lui-Dca. 2. The over-all lax millage may De increased, depending on econom ics of the board, and changing as sessed properly values. (If the some values existed throughout the proposed area and the same money was spent per child as in Roseburg for the year 1951-2. the levy would be increased 2.4 mills in Roseburg.) 3. The tax levy in districts other than No. 4 will increase materially because they now have 86 percent of Douglas county's tuition costs and only 20 percent ot tne property value against which taxes are lev led. 4. The operation of elementary schools will rest with the central unified board, while local boards will function only in an advisory capacity, S. Under the' pending Holy bill for school re-nrganfralion in Ore gon, a somewhat different division of central Douglas county area might be recommendet in 1953. So he named the place the Pass of the Siskiyous and the word came eventually to be applied to the mountain range. In the course of : time, Siskiyou county took 1 1 name from the same source. The other version (still quoting O'Brien) is that along about the same general time Mike Lat'ram boise, another Hudson's Bay man, forded a stream somewhere far down in southern Oregon at a place marked by six stones. He got over by stepping from one to the other. ! The stream is presumed to have been the Rogue. The Incident stuck in La Fram-j boise's min, and he referred to the place as the ford of the six cailloux. In French (La Framboise was a Canadian Frenchman) the word "caillou" means stone, and "Caiilloux" is merely the plural. The French word for six is "six." In French "six" is pronounced "sees" (as in "Cease") and the i word "Caillou" both in its singu lar and its plural form, is pro nounced 'IVAK-yOU. Hence "Sees-KAY-'you." which by a natural transition became Sis- xiyou. I'm unfamiliar with the Indian tongues, but the Encyclopedia 'Americana says: "Cayuse or Wil letpoo a tribe of North American Indians who formerly inhabited the united himcs taxes us name irom i river and the Blue Mountains in Oregon and also parts of Washing-1 ton south of the Yakima river. ! "The pony of the Northwest ; United States takes its name from 1 these Indians, who were doubtless j responsible for its introduction ! among the tribes of that section." j Well, there's your cayuse, and I O'Brien tells us that an Indian word meaning bob-tailed horse wos applied by McLeod to the poss of the Siskiyou, The word must hove been coined out of cayuse and some other Indian word mean ing bob-toiled. Hence, "sis-cayuse." Personally, I've always liked the 1 La Framboise "Six cailloux" (six stone ford over the Rogue) version. ; It seems a little more logical. But Robert O'Brien is an authority who is not lightly to be doubted, and I ! defer to his opinion. j I wish, thmiRh, he'd enlighten me ! as to the "sis" that he puts before the "cayuse" to make "s i s cayuse." j T Nawa.
