It has secured several consignment of trout fry, rainbow, cutthroat. Skagit river steelheads and east ;rn' brook trout:, with which to restock the K'ogue and its tributaries. It has secured the co-operation of the master fish warden in having the fish ladders at the various dams improved. It aided in securing the new game code at the ,.KisMure. forcing the screening of irrigation and niin JrTgwnoTits,rbut its efforts to curb the monopoly at the mouth of the Hogue, which for so long has hogged the fish i,w ,,P tlw uri-iMiin. were defeated, and as a result, game fish Ms well as salmon, are threatened with extermination. 1 The government fish bureau reports the smallest run jf steelhead on record this winter. Of course it does. I low could it be otherwise, with the millionaire monopoly catch ing nearly everything in the line of a fish that comes up the Rogue? Trout too small to can are refrigerated and , shipped east to be served as table delicacies. ; Since the cold storage plant was erected at the mouth of the river the annual run of steelhead has steadily di minished, and the total extermination of this magnificent trout is only a matter of a few years, unless something is done to close the river, and done as soon as possible. ; With the strongest possible effort and upon numerous ' applications, only 70.0Q0 fry will be shipped by the govern vnent to the Rogue and its' tributaries this spring. Were it ..Vfor the hatchery work on the K'ogue and the Illinois, .IiicW4rrlTout annually about a million fry, and the co operation of the master fish warden in securing other con signments, (lie stream would have long since been depleted. : There is but .one thing to do, and that is to close the river entirely to commercial fishing bar out all nets, seines and traps. The monopoly at Wodderhurn has taken millions out of the state to spend in California, and the investment fiasiclded hundred fold so no qualms about confisca tion of property need be felt it has shown none in confis cation of t'is'li. Initiative petitions to close the stream should be circulated at once, and the people of Oregon be iskcrt to heed the wishes of the ."0.000 people living in the ;crrilorv of the Uogue. rather than the wishes of a single iorporation and the underpaid halfbrecds that slave for it. are two Poor streets, one Poorman Road, one Poor Farm Road and one Poor Hduse Lane.
