DECLARED BETTER THAN COLORADO'S SPORT Addison Bennett Also Asserts That About 99" Per Cent of Waterways Within Boundaries of State Belong Exclusively to Oregon. . BY ADDISON BENNETT. . (This Is the second of a. series of articles on Oregon waterways by Mr. Bennett. The third will follow at an early date.) f N THE first article of this series I ' I undertook to enumerate the streams flowing- into or out of Oregron through other states. Such streams as flow into the Snake river or Columbia river and those flowingr into the Pacific are of another class. In the former article I began the enumeration of such streams at the southeast corner of the state and passed north to' the state of Wash ington, and then westward as far as the Walla Walla river, in the neigh borhood of Milton, in Umatilla county. The Walla Walla has branches arising in both Oregon and Washing ton, but it is a Washington stream, as the Oregon branches , are insig nificant with the exception of one that runs through Milton. From these streams there are none other worth mentioning westward to the Columbia river, e. few ' miles above Umatilla, at the state line. The streams from there westward to the Pacific and thence down the Pacific to the Cal ifornia line all come under another head, to be taken up later. Owing to variations in maps it has been a difficult matter to get tho Tacts about the streams flowing into California and Nevada from our state or from either of those states , into ours. A few miles east of the Pacific there are three small creeks flowing from Oregon into Smith river, in Cal ifornia. These creeks are Bald Face, Bear and Cedar creeks, e And it may be that a very small stream or two flow from across the California line into the Windchuck river, Oregon's most southerly river. On one map, and one only out of 20 or more, I found two or three branches of the Applegate river, in Jackson county, flowing up from California, but they are very, very small. The next noticeable streams are Fall creek and Longprairie creek, flowing out into the Klamath river. In California, at the extreme south east corner of Jackson county, near Wampus postoffice. Klamath River Mentioned. The next' is the - Klamath river, and many years ago the Klamath was one of the five great salmon streams of the Pacific coast. When the Sac ramento was fished out. about 1870-75, or rather when the muddy waters and the fisBermen either drove them out or packed them, many of the fish ermen went north to the Klamath.

Dainty sheer garments are laundered with far less wear than they are subjected to in hand rubbing; heavy pieces, such as bedding, rugs, and hangings, are cleaned thor oughly. The 3-Way Washing Arm and Wrintrer can be used over any one of four tubs accomplishing, thorough rinsing and blueing after the washing part is done. The Electric 3-Way will coon pay for itself in saving laundry costs. And while the energy of the housewife is conserved the washing is done at home to her com plete satisfaction.

The Klamath flows out of Oregon about eight miles east of the boundary line between Jackson and Klamath coun ties. It is quite a large stream. being the outlet for the waters of upper Klamath lake, which is fed by many important streams, such as the Sprapue and Williamson rivers. But we will come to all of that when the interior rivers are being discussed. Lower Klamath lake, which is good deal of a tule marsh, much of which has been reclaimed by govern ment irrigation, lies about half and half in Oregon and California. This lake is due south from the city of Klamath Falls. East of this lake about five miles is Tule lake, which is mostly in California, but a small portion lies in Oregon. A short dis tance to the. east Lost river, a small stream, flows from Oregon into Clear lake, in California. About 20 miles east of the Klamath county line Goose lake is located, about half of which is in Oregon and half in California. Cottonwood creek and Drew's creek are its principal feeders. Warner lake, a few miles to the east of Goose lake, does not shw on most of the maps as ex tending into Oregon, but In going down this lake from Plush, ii Warner valley, I was told we were fishing in California waters. There are a couple of small nameless creeks flowing into California in the extreme eastern part of Lake county and Washburn creek and its small branensi riowing out into Nevada near the eastern line of the state, from whence , we started in the first article. If you will now take the tronsie t look at your Orijron map and take just a cursory glance at our rivers, creeks and lakes and compare them with the few streams passing in or out over our borders, you will find that about 99 per cent of our streams belong to Oregon exclusively, for those flowing into the Columbia river or the Pacific flow out over our own soil Into our own water. ' Having done this, take a map of any state in the union vou ma- have) at hand and you will find that Oregon) is far. far past it in water ownership; r you happen to pick up the map o some of the states in the Interior of the country you will find that Oregon has more waterways than several of tnem put together. In my opening article I marln mn. tion of the natural subdivisions nt my subject, but perhaps I did not make it plain that I intended to han dle but one of the subdivisions, and is me one 01 pieaNUxsj fio.inT. which will be devoted mostly to trout fishing. I do this because, as Izaale wanon says. I am "a brother of thei angle." and have been from my boy hood days. I was brought uo on the banks of a trout stream, a tiny New York "brook." I am sorrv we have no brooks in this state. I think tne early sellers who named th creeks were not very loyal to their native states. else some of our streams would be brooks and not creeks. But it makes no difference In the end. However, Just for the love of my little boyhood brook I wish there was lust one brook in Oregon. I am sure with nearly half a thousand named streams we could afford to have one tiny brook. . Trout Fishing Discussed. I have fished for trout a good deal in various states, as follows: New York, New Jersey. Connecticut, Massa chusetts. Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Ohio, Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming. Idaho and Ore gon. Once or twice I have essayed the role of a bass fisherman, but none of it for me. I have traveled at various times very long distances to get to a good trout stream, in soma instances 250 miles and over, and usually to the Colorado streams. Colorado has a lot of trout streams, and that state, or the people of that state, capitalize their trout streams at more than their full value. So it has come to pass that every season thou sands upon thousands of people, "brothers of the angle," Journey to Colorado for their annual trout fish ing and they leave many a hundred dollars to pay for their fun. Now, I can point out 100 Oregon streams where there is better trout fishing than in the best streams in Colorado. And another thing: For every Colorado fishing mile there are, in May and June, a dozen fishermen; in Oregon we have a hundred streams, not miles, to every fisherman. Tho reader may think that statement is exaggerated: let him wait until I tell of the manifold streams of Oregon. The wisest man I have talked to on the subject guessed our fishing miles so low as to astound me. I will briny these statistics together very nearly accurate, and for the first time Ore gon will have a tabulation of a won derful but neglected asset, one that ought to be capitalized, and that speedily. I would be glad to have sugges tions from the readers of these arti cles, and particularly have them write; me of any blunders I may make. In this way we can get up a compendium of our streams that will be of great value. Address Addison Bennett, care of Oregonian. BOLSHEVIK GOVERNMENT PROVIDES NO JURY TRIAL s William C. Benbow in Article on Fundamentals Declares Radical Form . of Rule by Status Gives No Protection for Individual Rights. By WILLIAM C. BENBOW. (This arlcle Is one of a series ly Mr. Benbow- on tho fundamentals of Govern ment which are appearing In The Sunday Oregonian.) . THE recent war closed, at least for a time, the contest between mili tant societies and contract so cieties. But another system of society by status is being exploited by many misguided persons. It i- the socialis tic, commun.tic or bolshevistic sys tem of government. This system is older than the military system and is only another face of the same thing. It is simply another kind of govern ment by status or force. Thai is the individual unit is put into a class and kept In that class by the powers of the ruling caste r presenting the Erovern ment. It is directly opposed to a system of government by contract, i. e., a sys tem where the individual unit of the society can determine for himself his own destiny. Where a government by contract is in existence, the individual can own ..roperty and can make con tracts in regard thereto and be pro tected in his rights therein by the powers of the government. There is no class recognized by the govern ment, in the society into which he cannot enter If he be sufficiently in telligent. The softialiflj system insofar as it Is socialistic denie the individual the rights of property. And, by denying the rights of property, it denies him the right to contract, because, there can be no contract without property to contract about. The destruction of the principle of frt Jm to contract destroys the power of the individual unit of the society to establish and maintain a free government. If he be not able to deter.aine his own condition by making his own contracts and ad vancing himself by his own efforts, he will not be able to determine the kind of government under which he shall live. The very basis and the er: means by whlc . ne is enabled to enact Just wa is taken away from him whe:. he is denied the right to contract. The rower to think accu rately only comes from exercise. The power to make Just judgments only comes from permitting the individual to contract with his fellows because in making these contracts he is con tinually exercising hl3 Judgment and he thereby gains power to Justly judge men, laws and government. The power to establish and sustain a free government can only be maintained by permitting Individuals of the so ciety to contract among themselves and carry out their business relations under the law. , It may be true that the soclai-'stic or bolshevistic systems, of government will permit, for a while, the execution of certain contracts between their members, but in proportion as they are socialistic they are against the contract relation. There is no docu ment issued by any socialistic, com munistic or bolshevistic system of so ciety whicli Indicates that the govern ment guarantees to the individual either property rights or contract rights. Neither do any of th . soviet decrees or documents pr-vlde for th right of a trial by jury, at least so far as shown by any paper or docu ment r - lshed and of general circu lation. , There Is nothing said in the social, istic documents in rec ard to it. They have no system of rules nor laws de termining what the rights of the in dividual, nor any method of determin ing the facts from which the indi vidual's rights will flow. The negro slave was formerly in a certain position or condition; as to him the United States government was a government by status. He could own no property and he could make no contracts; and while in such condl tlon it made little difference to him whether the state owned the prop erty or an individual. Thus the con dition of "the southern negro prior t the civil war was very similar to the state of the Individual under a soviet or communistic system of government. Neither of them as individuals could or can contract, and neither of theru could nor can own anything however Industrious they might have been or may be. The North American Indiana were communists, and so ar- the wan dering tribes of Central Asia. It is hard to conceive the results that would happen In case a govern ment by contract or agreement should become a government by status or force. It is difficult to imagine the consequences to the people of destroy ing the contract relation in America. If one stops to thiik that every step in the industrial lif of the nation Is based on contract, he would only dimly begin to see the disasters that would follow such a change. Kvery thing that he eats, everything that he wears, all of his implements or trade, his tools of industry, his houses, lands and business relations, even as a wage earner, are all based upon j contract. And hundreds of contracts may be initiated and executed before some of the things he uses reaches his hands. Kven his life depends upon a fundamental contract, the constitution of the country. Self-government itself depends upon contract because self-government means the power of the individual to determine for himself the kind of a government under which he shall live; and it is necessary to enable the indi vidual to make ccr?'""t Judgments in regard to his own rotcths-hi. that he be educated by virtue of making his living through contract relations with his fellows. This compulsion continually keeps exercised his Judg ment and rable8 him to make a fair decision In regard t- his government as well as in regard to his individual contracts. If he be not given these rights to contract and to own prop erty he will lapse into a thoughtless and ignorant citizen and will be un able to govern .mself; because, sur vival of the fittest means the contin uous exercise of those powers of judgment which makes the individual the fittest. Hence, it Is an utter Im possibility to have a self-governing country and at the same time destroy the rights of property and freedom to contract.
