FISH STOPPED
AT THE ILLINOIS
RaGks PlaGed Across the
Lower Rogue Prevents
Passage of Large Fish
There is poorer fishing in the upper
Kotfuo this Benson thuu any in history,
u nd the reason is because the progress
upstream of salmon and steelhead is
effectively Mocked by the government
racks on the lower Rogue, where thou
sands of salmon and steelhead are herd
ed while the government secures the
eggs from the salmon. Only small fish
can make their way through these rucks
and these have a mighty tough time
to got over the defective fish ways over
the dams. Salmon ure reported to be
dying in numbers below the racks, un
nble to reach natural spawning grounds:
As the lishing in the Rogue grows
poorer each year, and all tho work
done by state and govornment seems
to be for the benefit of the Grants
Tnss fishermen's union, who know nnd
obey no law, and stretch their soines
across the stream clear to the toe of the
Anient dam, tahore is a strong senti
ment in favor of prohibiting all fish
ing except with hook and line, above
tidewater in the Rogue, Because these
fishermen took nil the fish that came
their way, the government could not
secure enough fish at the Klk creek
hatchery to justify operation, and bo
was forced to go below (i rants J'iu.h.
Hatchery Capacity Increased.
If. L. Kelly, fish eulturist in charge
of the Rogue River hatcheries, is quot
rl as follows in the Portland Telegram:
"Tho capacity of the hatchery on
the Illinois is to bo greatly increased.
Last year this hatchery handled over
1,000,000 salmon eggs, all of which
were hatched there and the young sal
mon turned loose in the river, except
300,000 of the eggs, which were shipped
to the Hume hatchery. This seasion
Kish Culturist Koliv expects to secure
at least 10.000.000 salmon eggs. To
have lumber with which to enlarge the
hatchery building and the racks in
the river for catching the fish nnd to
make additional hatching troughs, 10,
000 feet of lumber was brought in from
Woodcock s mill, near Kerby. As there
is only a mountain trail to the fall in
the. Illinois river, the lumber was raft
ed down that stream from below Kerby,
, and the job took ten days of hard work
and frequent risks of drowning for
Mr. Kelly and his crew of ten men.
River Lowest ill Years.
"The river is the lowest it has been
for years, and as, the channel passes
most of the way through a gorge, with
small falls, rapids and big boulders, it
made the task a difficult one.
"The racks will be placed across the
river at once and the salmon will be
held until their eggs are ready to be
taken. The eggs are batched hi troughs
kept filled with running water, and
the young salmon are kept in the
troughs for about six weeks, by which
time they are fairly well able to care
for t hemnel ves, a nd n re t urned loose
in tho river. For this period no feed
is required for the little fish. Where
it is possible to secure beef liver and
the fish remnants at canneries, it is
usual to keep tho young salmon in the
hatchery until they are four or five
months old and have a length of six
inches. They are then so large and
swift that few get caught by the sal
mon trout, eels, crawfish and other en
emies. ' '
Profits to Fishermen.
The salmon industry now nffords a
revenue of close to $'Jn0,O0n a year.
Last year about $50,000 worth of fish
was shipped from Grants Pass, and Mr
Kelly believes it woidd be possible with
in ten years to have the fish output of
Rogue river amount to fully $500,000
any year, could there be ample protec
tion afforded the salmon and proper
fishways maintained at nil dams placed
in the river. The proper policing of
the river does not appear to be attain
nbe under the sack enforcement of the
slate aws, but it wood be possible if
the fishing interests were under the
control of the general government,
which enforces its regulations with a
vigor not known to state authorities.
FOOTLIGHTS LURE

Hayes, winner of the Marathon race at

BIO SLUSH FUND RAISED
TO SNOW BRYAN UNDER
FAIBYIEW, Lincoln, Neb., Sopt. 7.
That a mammoth corrupt iuu fund, ag
gregating several millions of dollars,
has been subscribed to defeat his can
didacy for the presidency was the news
that has reached lit van. Among the
alleged contributors, according to the
report that came to Fairview, arc the
directors la every big corporation that
the democratic candidate bus assailed in
his speeches during the past four years.
runner, the story goes, the money
was not secured until the entire situa
tion bad been thoroughly canvassed and
it had been decided that the so-r:i!lcd
"special interests" would be at least
a trine safer under republican than
under democratic rule.
That Bryan was much concerned over
the story was shown by the fact that
he called up national headquarters at
Chicago over the long distance tele
phone C3 soon as it reached him and
asked that it be thoroughly investigated
and nil the facts be ascertained so that
he could consider them on his arrival
at Chicago next Monday.
The intimation is convoyed that
among the contributors are severnl mem
bers of tho group of millionaires known
as the Standard Oil group.
IRISH HUMOR
(One of Taf t 's "canned" speeches in
the phonograph.)
I am a great lover of humor, how
ever little 1 have of it, and believe in it
as a panacea. In these days of nervous
prostration, of brain fag, and of the
strenous lifo, there, is nothing which so
much contributes to u survival of the
trials and sufferings of the day as a
sense of humor. It is like t lie buffers
in the solid trains, like the air cushion
of a modern field gnu it. saves the
jolt it takes up the recoil.
Tt seems to me t hat this t rait of
humor, so fully developed in tln Irish
character, lias had much to do with the
persistence of the race and with its
growth and numbers and power and
influence the world over, in spite of
the burdens nnd disadvantages under
which it has labored. In the Irish fnce
the smiles and tears chase each tit her
fast. As .lohn Hoyle O'Keilly said:
I wrote down my troubles every day
And after a few short years,
When 1 turned to the heart aches pass
ed away,
1 read them with smiles, not tears.
Tn his poem, "An American," Kip
ling speaks of the nneient humor as
likely to save the American nation
from the dangers to which it is ex
posed :
tut. through the shift of mood and mood
Mine ancient humor saves hint
whole
The cynic devil in his blood
Tli a a bids him mock his hurrying
soul.
That checks him foolish hot and fund,
That chuckles through his deepest
ire,
That gilds the slough of his despond
Hut dims the goal of his desire.
Tf this humor be the safety of our
race, then it is due largely to the in
fusion into the American people of the
Irish st rain.
GREAT STRIKE MADE
IN FIDDLER'S GULCH
.lohn Hall brings in news of a great
strike that has recently been made on
Fiddler VCnleh. which is located eight
or ten miles below Kerby. I lie property
was discovered by Vail Cannon, Hilly
Xeal and brother.
He says that the ore is the richest
and prettiest in tellurium lr has ever
seen and says it assays from 50in to
$i;i,ii0O to the ton. From ten miner's
pans of dirt $l(i of gold was taken out.
They now have a tunnel in some 10
feet .and its prospects fine all through
the face of the vein. Mr. Xeal told Mr.
Hall that 10(i0 feet from the fact- of
the tunnel where thev had made anrther
open cut of vein, that this ore prospects
the same. If this propped is all they
say for it, it would be as rich as any
strike made in Nevada, and beforn 21
hours had passed there would probably
be 1000 miners on the ground.
These parties say that the property
is not for sale and as soon as they open
it up a li'tle farther they will pm the
proper appliances on the property,

From the prospects at present there
wil lbe a larger attendance than ever.
Miss llattio Cingcado of Eagle Point
was the lirst student to enroll in Sep
t ember, 11104. She completed the com
mercial course and has been employed
as a bookkeeper in San Francisco for
more than three years. Sho has now
returned for the course in shorthand

1108. Miss Cingcade evidently knows
where to securo a business education.
It is a fast that the young people of
southern Oregon nnd northern Califor
nia can Buve from $300 to $500 on a
nine months' course of business train
ing by securing it here. It is another
fact that with the individual instruc
tion given hero that students reeeivo
a better and more complote course. It
is also a certainty that we can promptly
