OREGON streams and lakes have
been famous for many years as
a paradise for anglers. In order
to keep these waters well stocked
with fish the state game commission
maintains hatcheries, from which are
planted rainbow, black spotted and
eastern brook trout.
Until 1921, the hatcheries for com
mercial and game purposes were
handled together, but the 1921 legis
lature provided for a complete segre
gation of the commercial and game
interests. Jurisdiction of all game
and game fish was given to the game
commission.
The commission had at its disposal
the first of last year five hatcheries
located at Union in Union county,
Bend In Deschutes county, l-'ort
Klamath in Klamath county, on the
McKenzie river in Lane county and
Battlecreek in Jackson county.
The department immediately started
the construction of several temporary
or summer hatcheries, where spawn
could be hatched, reared and released
without the construction of hatchery
buildings. These temporary hatcheries
were established in Washington, Hood
River and Umatilla counties.
A total of 13.800,000 rainbow, black
spotted and eastern brook trout were
planted last year from the permanent
and temporary hatcheries. In addi
tion to these varieties, 400,000 steel
head trout were planted In the Kogue
river. This variety of trout is classed
as a game fish in the Rogue terri
tory. The advisability of maintaining the
game and commercial hatcheries
under separate management is seen
in the large Increase In the output of
the hatcheries in 1921 over that of
previous years. In 1919, from the
hatcheries, there were planted 5,725,
000 trout andr in 1920. 6.824,000, which
was more than doubled during last
year.
The game department believes that
the output can be materially increased
within the next few years by the
establishing' of brooding lakes and
the holding of brooding fish In all
suitable places at the hatcheries.
"We have now reached a point In
hatchery work, where the number of
trout hatched and propagated in the
future will depend on our ability to
get trout eggs," states Captain A. E.
Burghduff, state game warden. "We
will be in a position now to use all
the eggs we are able to obtain."
The commission has procured title
to hatchery sites on Delph creek in
Clackamas county, Gold creek in Til
lamook county. Elk creek in Lincoln
county, Necanlcum river In Clatsop
county, on tht Deschutes, in Wasco
and the Willamette in Lane county.
The commission Intends to establish
hatcheries in other sections" of the
state as rapidly as possible. 1
It is believed that better results can
be obtained by raising trout in small
numbers in the vicinity where they
will be planted than raising the fish
in large numbers and having them
distributed on long hauls. Under the
present system, the trout ars reared
in the locality in which they will
have to live and are distributed by
auto trucks, in charge of experienced
hatchery employes. It takes only a
short time to transport the fish.
The plan cf holding the fish until
they are of good size results in less
loss to the fish after they have been
planted and has been found to be
thoroughly satisfactory.
In addition to the hatcheries, the
department is operating 13 egg-taking
stations. A number of these stations
are of an experimental nature, since
it Is necessary many times to try for
several years before it can be deter
mined whether a supply of eggs can
be obtained at a given place.
In the past. It has been possible to
get many trout eggs from the gov
ernment, but the supply from many
states has been so limited recently,
tha each state must depend almost
entirely on Us own stations now.
The game commission selects the
variety of trout which will thrive the
best in each locality and then plants
only that kind there. In all sections
of eastern Oregon, only-rainbow and
eastern brook trout are planted. The
only eastern brook planted west of
the Cascades are In the land-locked
lakes along the coast. If it Is pos
sible to get these trout properly
started, there will be splendid fish
ing In these coast lakes.
The recent high water and storm
did considerable damage to the game
hatcheries, principally the one on
Gold creek. An egg-taking station on
the Alsea river also suffered great
damage.

BY C. W. Kngiitth. Exerntive Secretary
Better Buslnesa Bureau.
LAST year more than 1500,000,000
was taken from the American peo
ple in the promotion of fradulent se
curities and stocks. By far the heav
iest toll was exacted from- the labor
ing classes those people who had ac
cumulated their meager earnings
through hard saving and sacrifices.
Aside from this enormous sum that
was exacted by means of direct swin
dling and purposeful fraud, vast
amounts were expended in purchas
ing merchandise that had been mis
represented in advertising and the
price of which merchandise, no mat
ter how nominal It would appear on
the face of it, was too high consider
chaser when he found that the ant
ing the disappointment of the pur
cle which he had purchased was not
as advertised.
For the purpose of educating the
public to an understanding of the dif
ference between an honest invest
ment and a speculation and to pro
mote truth in advertising, the busi
ness men of Portland have organized
a service department of the Portland
Ad club, known as the better business
bureau.
This bureau has done such construc
tive work during the past few years
that the members of It have a par
donable pride in having developed to
such an extent the movement for
truth in advertising without any out
side pressure or suggestion. It is
strictly an educational movement.
Memberships of concerns which sup
port the work today are not gifts or
donations, but are a payment in re
turn for valued service rendered legit
imate business by this bureau.
The aim of the bureau is to increase
the public confidence In business in
stitutions of Portland in general, and
In advertising in particular for the
protection of the public and the mer
chant, against business practices
which are not standard. It helps an
honest business to discover and re
move factors in. its own advertising
and business methods, which may be
caused either by carelessness or Igno
rance. The better business bureau
opposes all dishonest business enter
prises, welcomes complaints from vic
tims of such enterprises and endeav
ors to correct dishonest selling and
advertising practices.
It can easily be seen why the ad
vertising concerns of the city would
interest themselves so thoroughly in
organizing and maintaining the bet
ter business bureau. It co-operates
with the papers in eliminating all
misleading and untruthful advertis
ing and thereby helps to make an
honest business more believable and
therefore more productive.
Among the most active and co-operative
members of the bureau are the
representative local newspapers, auto
mobile dealers, banks, men's and
women's clothing establishments,
confectioners, department, furniture,
shoe, music and stationery stores.
Jewelers, furriers, druggists, tailors
and other classes of institutions too
numerous to mention. It can be seen
from this that as members of the bet
ter business bureau which advocates
clean and truthful advertising, such
concerns pride themselves in honest
selling practices and truthful adver
tising, and cheerfully make amends
whenever an eror occurs In their
selling or advertising system.
The bureau acts as a medium for
complaints that may arise between a
customer and a reliable firm, and an
investigator of investments offered
to the public. It asks nothing for its
services except the co-operation of
the public in notifying it of any Ir
regularities either in advertising or
selling practices.
At the present time the better busi
ness bureau is concerned in the opera
tion of the Oregon bonus bill. Num
erous inquiries come to the office re
garding the assignment of claims by
eligible applicants to other persons in
payment of loans or as guaranty on
investments which they are consider
ing. The bonus commission has ruled
that such assignments will not be
allowed. The state will pay the bonus
money directly to the applicant and
no assignments will be recognized.
It Is the purpose of the bureau to
instruct all ex-service men to the
best of its ability in the advisability
of Investing their money in tried and
tested investments, preferably in home
industries, rather than in the promo
tion of speculations remote and ques
tionable. Why should a man interest
himself in an oil company in Texas
or in a nut ranch in Pennsylvania,
when Oregon is so rich In undeveloped
industries that have a promising fu
ture and that can be investigated per
sonally and are vouched for by local
concerns of merit?
It is a matter of record that the
average working man is accessible
to the fraudulent promoters to a far
greater extent than the average busi
ness man. He is less familiar with
Investments and is, therefore, unable
to distinguish between them in many
cases. Working men and wage earn
ers are naturally striving constant
ly to accumulate by savings a com
petence against illness and old age.
The promises of unscrupulous promo
ters frequently defeat these well laid
plans.
The bureau is working hard and
faithfully to educate people to in
vestigate where their money goes
before they Intrust it to salesmen
who represent questionable stock
promotion enterprises. One of the
numerous instances of misrepresen
tation was called to our attention a
short time ago when a young man
called at the office in the Oregon
building regarding an investment of
$300 which he had made in an oil
company, which company had been
under investigation by the govern
ment for some time, and whose offi
cers have since been Indicted. He
contemplated making an additional
investment of $500, but was persuaded
by a friend to make an investigation
before doing so. and was referred to
