Oakland knocked the props from under
Portland yesterday after the home team
had won six straight. The score was
2 to 0. Charles Hartman and Bill Reldy
officiated on the hump and until the rain
rame along: the McCredles had the game.
1 to 0. Portland's new southpaw kept
the Commuters guesslnR until the seventh.
SchJmprr failed to trap Truck Eagans
grass-burner, then the kid made a wild
heave. On two outs Eagan finally got
to third and when Hartman slid the ball
too close to Haley, there was a clout
that was safe and the score was tied.
This made It one-all, and there was
rain enough right then to call the game,
but the umpire thought those In the land
of bleach needed a shower bath, so he
"made the game go on."
In the eighth Hartman walked Smith
and Van Haltren poked a biff safe. Helt
muller was thumped on the htnge and
he took a perch. Smith and Van Haltren
scored.
Portland tried hard during the down
pour to win. Wilson wlffed and Hartman
beat out a bunt. Mott singled, so did
Casey. Hartroan scored, but the game
was finished with a thump, when Hogan
grabbed Donague's liner that was going
over third. Hogan trilbled the station
snd Mott was dead. Then he winged it
to Bigbee and Donahue passed away. By
this time ITmpire Perrine thought every
body had bad enough rain and baseball,
so he called the game. The score:

every record that he has made still
stands unbroken. Oldfield was optimis
tic yesterday, and talked for a long time
as he worked over his machine.
"Americans crave the sensational, and
It sems that our sports must either be
dangerous or brutal to be popular. Peo
ple say that prize fights draw only the
rougher element, and that the better
class of neoDle do not oatronize the game.
That Is true, but you say that sports (
of the better class are not brutal or dan
gerous, and I do not agree with you.
Ixok at the big football games where
man after man is injured. , The best df
society people always attend these games.
The only sport that Is not brutal, and at
the same time is popular. Is our Na
tional game, baseball. Horse racing Is
not brutal, but It Is only patronized by
gamblers and their associates, and the
millionaires who control the game. Then
with the exception of baseball there Is
no popular sport that does not contain
a certain element of danger.
"Take auto racing. If It Isn't .danger
ous I don't know what is. Look at
the men who have lost their lives through
the auto raring game. Arntes. Crocker

others on the Vanderbilt course. There
were Day. Keeler. Cooper and Roberts
on the track. Kiser, who lost a leg, and

Still the game Is popular. Why? Because
it (a fascinating; because It Is dangerous.

SEVERAL salmon theories of fish
men of the Columbia River and
elsewhere, will be exploded. If facts
alleged by R. D. Hume, the well-known
Rogue River packer, shall be substan
tiated. A letter written by Mr. Hume to
John Gill, of this city, is subjoined. The
Rogue River" man declares that each of
his statements is supported by the ex
perience of many years, both of himself
and others. J
Adult salmon, he says, do not die after
spawning, unless too far inland to return
to the sea in their weakened condition.
Salmon from which spawn has been
taken, snd which have been put back In
Rogue River, near the ocean, have re
turned to that river in four months, hav
ing recovered from their exhaustion and
become fat and strong.
These assertions are directly hostile to
the theory generally accepted in late
years, that salmon, after spawning, have
fulfilled the purpose for which nature
sent them into fresh water, and at once
lose their vitality and die.
Mr. Hume Insists that the ocean habitat
of salmon is near their native river,
where they find abundance of food by
preying on smaller fish, such as herring,
smelt and sardines. He contends that
the long Journey theory Is disproved by
the fatness of the salmon and by their
Tntria "R VPT ftftpr short IntCT-
vals. It has been supposed that salmon
spend their ocean period tar away irum
the Oregon Coast, probably south, off
inrf California, where it is alleged they
have been caught frequently.
Three Tears in Fresh Water.
The time between deposit of salmon
eggs In streams and the departure of the
young salmon for the sea, Mr. Hume
gives as longer than that which has been
commonly supposed. He says that most
of them stay In the streams until the
Spring of the third year after the eggs
are deposited, that many stay until the
Spring of the fourth year and that while
in fresh water many are caught as
trout. Some young ealmon, the eggs of
which were deposited In September, 1905.
would go to sea in March and April of
1907 and return to their native river four
months later, having grown from six to
twelve Inches and weighing about two
pounds.
Mr. Hume has been observing the sal
mon of Rogue River many years. He
has been a successful packer and has
made a fortune out of the business. He
has made notable experiments in salmon
culture, one of them being the nurture of
fry in feeding ponds, until tney nave at
tained a size that enables them to escape
their vocacious enemies. The artificial
method of hatcheries causes large num
bers of fry to be released at one time and
attracts their enemies, whereas under the
natural method of propagation the fry
come forth widely scattered. Mr. Hume's
letter is as follows:
Mr. Hume's Letter.
TTErDERBtTRN Or., May 27. 1007, John
Gill, Portland Or. Dear Sir: I am famil
iar with three varieties of the salmon fam
ily, and have some acquaintance with other
kinds. - What I have handled mostly for
the past forty-thro years are the Bp c lea
called by the names of Chinook. Tyee or
King 'Salmon (Salmo Quinnat), and to a less
degree tba Bllverside or Steelhead.
Years ago I marked the young salmon
turned out In sufficient numbers to satisfy
myself ana tbis community that thy would
return. I also marked the adult fish from
wtitcn the spawn- had been taken and turned
them into the river, and In the two years
following took nearly all that had been
marked (about 150). Those of the marked
you nr. taken upon their return the fourth
year, weighed from 20 to 85 pounds. The
only difference between our Spring run and
that of the -Columbia Is that the Rogue
salmon are a shorter-bodied fish and fatter
than those of the Columbia, having the fat
Inlaid between the flakes of flesh as well
as the fat belly and the strip of fat lying
Jong- the back.
We have in this river the Chinook, the
Sllverside and the Steel head, but no other
varieties of salmon. Dr. Jordan's examina
tion of the salmon question is too super
ficial to warrant pronouncing his dicta The
history of the life of salmon, as shown by
the work here and observed by others and
myself, shows, yl: The eggs are Impreg
nated and buried In the gravel by the par
ent salmon during the Spawning season, and
In due time the young alevlns are batched
and He where deposited, out of the way of
many of their enemies, until the yolk sack
Is absorbed and they are ready fnr food.
Xney then come from the gravel slowly and
scatterlngly In search of sustenance, and
do not rise en masse and blacken the
stream, thus enticing their enemies, as is
the case when great numbers are turned
from the hatcheries. The bulk of those
escaping the enemy remain In the streams
until the Spring of the third year after the
egg la deposited.
Three Months at Sea.
That Is to say, eggs deposited in Septem- ,
ber, 1905, would produce smolt that depart- ;
ed for the sea In February and March, 1007, I
and return again from the sea the same
year in the months of .Tune and July, as
grilse of about two pounds weight. During
their stay in fresh water, previously to their
departure to the , thousands of smolt
are taken by anglers and called trout, by
those who know no better, and also by some
that do. Following their first departure for
the sea, at a time when their extreme
length does not exceed six inches, many
return In the short space of three months,
measuring 12 inches and weighing nearly
two pounds. Great activity not being con
ducive to growth, or the accumulation of
fat, we believe daring the three months the
fish do not go far at sea, but remain in
close proximity to the mouth of their na
tive river.
Now, while many of the male grilse go
to the spawning- grounds and. If far from
the sea, die at the spawning grounds, the
only thing we have to consider is, where do
the grilse that return to the sea and that
portion of the product of the first planting
that did not follow the first lot to the
sea, spend the intervening time between
the grilse stage and that when they re
turned as adult aalmon?
Many of the product of the spawning sea
son remain In the river until the Spring
of the fourth year, having attained but tit
tle .greater size than thoe of the same
hatching that went to sea the previous
year. When ready for the sea. they lose
the markings that appear on the salmon
fry and assume the silvery appearance of
the adult salmon. It Is at this age that

Salmon Stay Near Native River.
The habitat of the adult salmon In the
sea, to my mind, cannot he far from the
mouth of the river where hatched, for the
reasons given, via: That rapid growth 1a
not promoted by violent exercise, and, to
attain such rapid growth, food must be
abundant and easily attainable,1 and nowhere
Is found in such abundance as at the mouth
of our salmon streams, for to them come
In their regular seasons herring, smelt, sar
dines and other small fish In great quan
tities. Palmon, bftlng a voracious fish, nat
urally follow and devour all sorts of fish
weaker than themselves-
Another reason for such conclusion Is the
fact that years ago I took the spawn from
something like 150 adult salmon, and after
stripping them turned them into the river
within half a mile of the ocean. This was
done In December and the following April
I began taking them again, and though not
quite healed from the bruises received in
the ripening ponas tney were fat and plump.
There was no possible chance for a mis
take, as the salmon were carefully marked.
Durlnr the season we caught nearly all
rhat had been returned to the sea, after
being used as spawners. This statement can
be verified by a large number of men who
were fiehing here at the ume.
If a salmon turned out in December, sick
and sore, hardly able to propel itself, re
turned four months later plump and fat, it
would seem conclusive evidence that no
great journey had been accomplished during
the intervening time. I have no doubt but
salmon of various sixes of the same variety
can be found In the waters of Fuget Sound
at any time of the year In greater or less
Quantities.
d resents a more forked appearance than
that of the silverside, and the latter more
than the steelbead, which has a square tall
like a trout. All the trout belong to the
salmon family, but the variety we recog
nize as the true salmon of commerce bai
a forked tall, and any fish of this portion
of the salmon family of any slse will pre
sent that appearance.
89 1-2 Found Chinook.
The chinook salmon are to be found In
the Rogue River almost any month of the
year, but before the dams on the upper river
were constructed and Illegal fishing begun
at those points the Spring runs, that would
warrant the operation of a cannery, began
In 31 arch and continued fairly plentiful until
about September, although by law the fish
ing was restricted tn tne time Between April
1 and August 35. We then were allowed to
fish from beptemoer x until Marco i, nut,
owing to' the fact that most of the Fall
run were allversides. which at the first Fall
rains left the lower river, no fishing for
salmon was done later than November 1 of
earn year. During those mntns we took
numerous chi nooks, ana as tne season ad
vanced and the waters of the river got cold
er the quality of these fish improved. Blhop
Morris and Rev. Mr. Horsfall were here
some years ago In the fishing season, and at
thai time the largest chinook of which I
have any knowledge was taken. The fish
was weighed In their presence, tipping the
scales at pdunds, being, I believe, the
largest salmon ever caught in Oregon
waters.
The growth of younc? salmon depends upon
the amount of food, and there Is no doubt
that if the fry receive the amount of food
they desire they will grow faster than under
natural conditions and advance toward ma
turity at a more rapid pace and therefoie
return to the rivers at an earlier date than
those hatched tn the natural spawning beds
and depending upon the stream where de
posited for food.
We now have 1.400.000 younc fry in the
feeding ponds here, which have "reached a
length of about three inches. we began
feeding March 4, and for the first month
were obliged to furnish beef and liver, dur
ing which time the mortality caused by In
digestible portions of the food was large.
Pince the fishing season began we have
fed salmon heads and other offal from the
adult salmon received at the cannery, since
which time the loss Is mere nothing. We
cook the heads In a retort three hours at
steam pressure of 12 pounds, and then grind
in a power cutter until the consistency ot
thick paste. This food, when thrown upon
the water of the feeding ponds, floats on
the surface, and therefore does not foul
the water. like many other "kinds, and Is
almost entirely consumed by the little fish.
Owing to the depredations of the fisher
men in the neighborhood of Grants Pass,
Josephine County, Spring fishing this sea
son has been almost a failure, and at pres
ent we are not getting sufficient fish to fur
nish offal for feeding the young fry at the
ponds. Unless the run improves, we shall
be compelled to turn out the young fih
and let them take their chances In tne
river. I shall regret to do so very much, aa
I desire to hold them at least two months
longer.
We have here a good opportunity to ob
serve the habits and single out the enemies
of the salmon, aa well as to secure infor
mation that will be Invaluable to the state
In Its operation of any feeding stations It
might establish Information that explodes
many of the preconceived notions to which
some of the so-called authorities so fondly
cling. -
