FISH BILL IS
SOREJ PASS
Delegation Brings Glad
Tidings to Local Sportsmen-Will
Benefit Stream
Mayor Canon, V. M. French, (1. Put
nam and C. L. lleames returned Satur
lay from Salem, where tlley have beel
vvorkfiug in the interest of the Crater
Lake road bill. Tliev feel confident
hat the measure will pass the senate
lhi week.
Mayor Cuuon states that the chances
of the bill's receiving it favorabl
port from the senate committee on roads
and highways are excellent anil that
its consideration will be minle n special
order of busiuss by the senate early III
the week.
The bill of the Rogue Hiver Fish Pro
tective association closing the Rogue
and its tributaries to trout fishing
cept with hook and line, has passed the
house and been favorably reported to
tin- senate and will be passed today or
Monday. It was amenileil slightly in
title by the senate committee and su
will have to be passed on again by the
house but its passage is assured. The
bill places the stream under jurisdic
tion of the master fish warden, instead
of the game warden, as other streams
are, which is regarded as a great advan
tage for law enforcement.
The compromise bill, introduced by
the Josephine county deelgation, clos
ing the Hogue 1o salmon fishers from
August la to May lo. leaving but three
months' seining in the stream and clos
ing the Illinois to seiners, has passed
the house and been favorably reported
(o the senate. It will pass the senate
today or Monday.
The new game code passed by the sen
ate and which will probably be passed
bv the house, provides an open season
throughout Hie year for hook .and line
fishing on the Rogue ni'.l ils tributaries.
The Rogue River Fish Protective asso
ciation bill providing an anglers' li
cense of one dollar has been in eorpo
rated in the game code, bill will be
I'ouglil in the house, because it gives
the license monev to the game warden
instead of to the master fish warden
as Hie bill originally provided.
Mayor Canon was one of the princi
nal witnesses before the house commit
lee considering thn local option bill and
told of the workings of th
charter.

Today the off irinta of 1lie lturlin(jton j

Although tin1 road was only n lillle

was looked upon as the greatest engi

lage of the character described at "St.

How Stewart was the Colonel Sellers
who saw millions in it and he managed
to associate himself with eiuMigh men of
kindred spirit to make the project of
butlding the road a success.
Some .pieer notions were promulgat
ed by those who opposed the road. Some
s:;id it would furnish an easy avenue
of escape for fugitive slaves. One man
uho had been a representative said they
couldn't run the steam cars in muddy
weather because their weight would
bread down the roadbed and that ox
teams were surer for freight.
Another man said the fire from the
engine stacks would burn all the farm
ers orchards and meadows. An officer
nf the claim department recently ob
served that judging from the bills filed
the last man was th- best prophet.
