For Homo yearn there Iiiih been con

bad hard work to (ot over it, which
wiim true. However, tho ownern of the

Irueted tho fiidiwny uncording to
ulaiiH mid iiiHtruction of u fonuer
miiHter fmh warden und hud kept
uliHoluta faith with the stnto of Ore
gon. ('oiiNviiiiitly Hometliiiift had to
bo done, und iih tho ownern of tho
duiii could not be forced to put in a
new fiHhwity, it wuh up to tho Htuto
to do it. The htuto hud never Heiit
iiny money on the upper Rogue river,
iiml MiiHter Fixli Warden McAlliHtcr
thought thix would be a (,'oimI place
to bein, und utter n conmiluilioit
with Deputy Kihh Wurden Kdwnrd
Clnnton of tlim city tho preHvut pluu
wax di-eided upon.
At first the plans called for o fish
way that would cost about $1500,
but after u thorough invcKtigiitiiin,
and owing to the fact that the fish
wnv wax to' be n nerinimcnt one. tho
plans were chanced und tho present
fisliwuy cost in the ix-ighliorliood of,
$.'1000, most of this money being paid I
out in labor. I
The fishwoy is in li half circle
i round llio hoiiiIi cud of the (linn, ll
is .'10(1 feet long, ten deep nl tin. lieuil
mil '2 leel deep ul Hie outlet, und is
fix feet w'uli!. Tiie bulloni and sides
nee of concrete us me also the Inn
ings of Hie ground next the river ul
the lower end, this work rciuiring
l.'iO yards of concrete.
With (lie rhimging of the plans (lie
tisliwuy was iiimle louver and deeper
iiuil all thu exeiiMitiii.' praetieally had
to be done by bund through a heavy
eeiin'iit gniyel that is worse Ijiuii go
ing through the hardest concrete. It
was not prnclieiil to shoot the exca
vation, us the blasts might injure the
I'lnbunkment next the, dam.
At the present tune the bulkheads
in the bottom of the chiinnel urn of
wood, hut these will shortly be re
placed with concrete. Mr. " Clnntnn
deeming it would he better to make
them of wood' until he fn odwuh
they should be placed. All tho con
crete in reinforced with iron rod
such as are used in concrete build
ing.H so that the construction of the
fishwny in us substantial an the rock
of Gibraltar. After the work -in all
completed tho whole will be covered
with heavy timbers. Mr. Clnnton linn
done n lot of hard work on this piece
of construction nnd has done ev
erything he could to keep down the
cost to the state, and it is needless
1o state that when the gates were
opened nnd he miw the fish going np
like n drove of sheep, lie felt pretty
good. As oon as the gates were
opened he counted 47 big fish go up
in f0 minutes and of course the
smaller fish he did not sen. The
fishwny was badly needed, for the
protection and propagation, of fish
in Itogue river nnd the slate bus done
no more than right in building this
fishwny, nnd Muster Fish Wnrden
McAllister and his able assistant, Mr.
(Tuiilon. arc to lie commended for
their efforts in this locality nnd for
also constructing a work that will be
pcrmnncnt and practical, even though
it did cost n little more than nt first
coiitemplntcd.
