Low Wnter In Rivers. Reports
received from the upper waters of
the North and South Umpqua rivers,
brings the Intelligence that never
were those streams so low In the
memory of man as they are at this
time this season of the year. To
the continued thirty dry days of
April Is attributed this remarkable
fact, and it Is safe to say that un
less there shall be two or three
drenching downpours at an early
1 date It will be easy to ford with
horses these streams in almost any
place during tho latter part of June
and throughout the months of July,
August and September, something
not of record heretofore. It Is an
old saying that an ill wind that
blows no one good. In this case
the low water will be just tho thing
for tho angler with his Ashing rod
and line. He wiM bn enabled to flsh
the two rivers as they were never
fished before, and some surprising
catches will bo the result of his
labors. Roseburg New
