Newspaper Page TextSeason, Bag Limit Decision Slated Final decision on the Roseburg , Rod and liun Clun's proposal tor a raised bag limit and an extend ed fishing season in the Umpqua River will be made by the Ore gon' State Game Commission at a Jan. 26 meeting. After its general meeting last week in Portland at which 1955 angling regulations were propos ed, the ' Commission announced - that it "hadn't yet acted on the proposal." - ' . Sportsmen in this area ' have asked for a fishing season extend ed two weeks at each end and an increased salmon limit to two fish a week. "We Were Assured" The sportsmen base their pro posal on the contention that we were assured that we would have a two-fish limit when and if the present fish cycle showed a sub stantial gain," according to spokes man Bill Jones of the Rod and Gun Club. Since limitations have been ex ercised on the Umpqua and tribu taries, salmon runs have gradual ly increased. They reached a l ew high of 6,000 in the 1954 count. Sportsmen claim additionally that when they were hot accorded an increased bag limit in 1954, Few Fish Moving Now In Umpqua, Report Says The weekly fishing report of the Oregon State Game Commission informs that the lower Umpqua River is muddy and that a 1 1 streams in the upper river area are falling but are still quite tur bid. , Water tomneraturcs are low. and few 'fish are moving. Fishing in the deeper eddies with cluster eggs appear to be producing most of the fish now being caught. Pros pects for the coming weekend. are only lair...,- ' v. the Commission at that time as sured them of an increased limit in 1955 on the condition that 1954 runs indicated further gains. Local Commission authorities have conceded "a healthy gain" jo 1954's 6,000-fish run over the parent run of five years ago. But they argue that this is not suffi cient. ' Meant 10,000 They have based their conten tion on the fact that their original proposal for liberalization of re strictions at the beginning of- the present cycle was based on an ultimate increased spawning es capement of approximately 10,000 fish' a year. These figures, they say, haven't been reached yet. Following is the Game Commis sion's report on tentative 1955 an gling regulations as adopted at its Portland meeting last wcek as they apply locally. , .

All was evidently on the up and up, but the home team might have lost a little luster off its team win after failing to supply a cer tified official for the engagement. AS THINGS TURNED, a Grants Pass team manager tried to han dle the very technical job of of ficiating after the appointed offi cial failed to show up.
