The citizens o f H old Beach and the G old Beach Cham ber o f
Commerce are becoming alarm ed over the prospects o f opening
the Rogue R ive r and the streams o f C u rry county to com m ercial
fish in g . They say e ffo rts w ill he made at the present session o f
the le g islature to open a ll streams to com m ercial fis h in g a fte r
an eight-year closure and a fte r the streams have restocked
themselves. A t the tim e o f the eh sure there were no salm on le ft
to fish, hut this specie has been g ra d u a lly restocked.
W e suppose its the same old s to ry that was p ulled in the

There are lots o f selfish m otives hidden under the guise o f pa
