Third Fishing with hook and line to be permitted at all seasons of the year, provided, however, that no per son be permitted to catch more than five salmon in one day with hook and line.

PORTLAND, Jan. 9 (Special) "Oregon's bad roads' fund is big enough. The State's hampered de velopment, the unpopulated areas that should be producing wealth for busy communities, the difficulties of ve hicle transportation, and the excess in wear and tear that travels the roads, including people, are to be charged to this bad roads' fund." This statement of Oregon's condi tion was issued here today by the Oregon Good Roads Association. It is the reason assigned by Judge Lio nel R. Webster, Chairman of the As sociation's Executive Committee, for a determination to enlist every pro gressive Oregon citizen, every, man or interest to be benefited by good roads construction, and every legisla tor who desires to serve the interests of the people, in the effort to reduce road building plans in Oregon to a permanent, definite and effective sys tem. Lnck of system Is charged by all conversant with the situation as cause for Oregon's poverty in good roads. The constitutional bar to road build ing that existed until lifted by the noople at the last election shares the blame. The Oregon Good Roads Convention recently held here, approved five good roads measures drafted by Judge Webster, because of the belief that If these measures are adopted by the legislature, the system of construction desired will be instituted. All were agreed that the most Im portant of the five measures Is the one creating a good roads commis sion. The members of this commls- Indications Point to Typhoid.
