Will Dutcher discovered a lot of young bass washed ashore in the eddy at the Al'ona dock Tuesday morning. He called the attention of E. C. Greenman, field superintendent of the Oregan fish comiiiission to the fact, and a Careful ex amination revealed the fact that the young bass had -been caught in the meshes of a gill net. It ia presumed that some one had been fishing with a gill net up the Willamette, and threw the young bass back into the water. Dea l bass do not sink in the water like salmon, but float along the surface, and are often carriod ashore by the eddies. The new fish laws provide a heavy pen alty for. catching blues bass, and the fisherman may have cast them away to avoid detection. Five years imprison ment is the punishment promised for person found catching black bass. There is another short chapter in the Mcllargue case this week.
