Fisheries Director Caller, Gold Beach GOLD BEACH—Dr. II. J. Ray ner, chief of operations director of fisheries for the game com mission, Portland, was principal speaker to a group of interested sportsmen and citizens F riday, here. The purpose of the meet ing was to find out what the peo ple want in way of improving regulations and to inform them of the progress and study being made of the Rogue River. The lower river is under H. E. Mas tin, resident biologist, and the upper river is in the Grants Pass and Medford area, and is headed by Cole Rivers. Dr. Rayner pointed out that the spring run of Chinook in the Rogue is declining alarmingly, from 1942 to the present time. He listed as contributing causes, change in water conditions in the upper reaches of the river, irri gation, disease, off-shore trolling and mortality rate in the ocean. It will take time to correct these conditions and it is believed that if the spring run is to survive on the Rogue, limits will have to be reduced on the spring run as well as other immediate steps. The only rivers in the United States having the spring run of Chinook are the Rogue, Umpqua, and Columbia. It seemed to be the consensus of the meeting that the daily limit of two fish and maintain ing the 20-fish for the season was fair but to eliminate the week ly limit. Very few realized the vast change in the water in the The World's Best Climate BROOKINGS-HARBOR PILOT, BROOKINGS. OREGON THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29. 1949 like Brookings-Harbor, is miles from a railroad.
