Tho Port Orford Trlbuno prints tho following: "Petitions nro bolng circulated throughout tho sovernl counties In this part of tho state asking the leg islnturo, which couvonos In Janu nry, to open Hoguo Hlvor to commor clnl fishing to tho oxtont of using sot nnd drift nets, but prohibiting solnos At first thought this seems n wlso provision, nnd doubtloss many nro signing tho potltlons who would not do so If thoy stopped to consldor tho ninny phases of tho question. Not another stream In tho stnto has such restrictions, nnd tho point nt Issuo is, aro conditions such us to warrant nn exception In tho Hoguo Hlvcr case Tho country contiguous to tho Co lumbln, nnd other rivers In tho stnto, has many developing Influences bnck of it, whllo In Curry county tho fish ing industry on Hoguo Hlvor hns for ninny yonrs been tho only pormnnont pnyroll Industry in tho county, nnd with tho oxcoptlon of tho Ilrooklng compnny, Just stnrtlng in tho south end of tho county, It is so today. And tho prohibiting of seines on tho river mny work havoc to this industry so fnr ns tho people of this section are concornotl. Tho Weddorburn Trading Com pnny, who bought out tho Hume es tnto nbout n year ago, havo spent over $100,000 improving tho property in tho Interim. Thoy nro ono of the heaviest taxpnyors In tho county. The groator tholr returns from tbolr hold ings, tho grontor will bo their ex penditures In Its development. Tholr Interests aro Identified with tho in terests of tho peoplo of tho county, and with tho advantage tho seining would glvo them It would be money In their pocket to keep tho river stocked with fish. Now, by opening tho river to set nnd drift nets, nlono, it places any outside company with nn oqual footing with this company. Tho outsldo company has not a dollar In vested In tho county thoy como in nfter tho first of March nnd go out in tho fall, thereby escaping tnxntlon. In tho pellmoll scrnmblo for salmon, no ono company will bo deriving suf ficient returns to Justify maintaining a hatchery. Tho day for the small meshed solno hns passed nnd tho open season may bo shortened without objection, nnd with theso innovntlons, together with tho bound ngreoment of tho Wedder burn Trading Company, that thoy say they would give, to operato two hat cherlos and pay a fair prlco for fish, it seems to tho Tribune that there may be a grlovous mistake made If tho river Is not opened for selnlung. Tho question is at least worth tho careful consideration of thoso who have tho Interests of the county at heart."
