' Baseball on the Pacific coast owes a lot to Cal Owing, a sports, man through and through, - - ., " 'It looks from this end" Of the line that Walter in a moment ot pique tried to put the Coast league In bad with tb public and that ho had more than met his master la Ewlng, who Is a master hand when It comes to defending him self from attack.

' "V Ewjng has given out everything that cams up; concerning tils" recent, business relations 5 with ' Walter, who lie says acted in the capacity of his Oatkland banker, wing maintaining his home on the Oakland side of the bay. Ewlng asserts that Walter, learning, In the ca pacity of financial adviser, of .his In tention not to build on tha. recently purchased baseball site, ' but; to secure a longer lease on tne present, oati pant, "double Crossed" fhirri and secured a 80 year lease on the San Francisco park now occupied by the San Francisco Club, Walter then made a proposition to sub let the park to Ewlng, but demanded a t000 cash bonus end 10,000 shares of pXand stock,., which would glvs him control oftha.club. Ewlng was willing to pay the rental demanded by Walter, but ha characterize the other stipula tion as a holdup, inasmuch as he val ues his stock at 910 a share, and' would virtually be giving Walter a presenter l 00,000, Walter, on the other hand, admits that he.eecured the leass of the park without Ewlng's knowledge, and further admits that all of bla demands were as published, but that they; repre sented a cold blooded business deal. ,',,. , Weoessary to Start Oame.i ' When :Ewlng- purchased ,hla "'"snares' In the stock of the Oakland club It was doubtless necessary in order to start the club going. Ewlng withstood the financial losses until the club began to make money three years ago, and It is good business for him to place a fair 'valuation upon his holdings. Condi tions were different when the Vernon club was organised, for baseball was then on a taring tasls and it was not necesfiary for the Berrys, who own the l.os Ansreles club, to take large blocks of the stock. Of course, Ewlng ought tonpll his Oakland holdings for the good of the game, but no charge can be 'subfctanUated tTist ho Juggled baseball ninvora in the interest of either the Ean Francisco or the Oakland club.

The John Day valley, -wlthrHs environing hills and mountains, is one of the best watered sections of the state. ' The John Day river, with Its numerous tributaries, to gether with a number of mountain lakes wbose overflow, waters find their way into the streams, constitute a splendid natural system of water supply. -These waters form a natural fish preserve Of great value and make the region a para diss for anglers. . ' -V Tears tgo fish' from these lakes and streams . constituted ho small part of the rood supply of ' the Inhabitants. Salmon were abundant In their season. Rainbow and other Varieties of trout filled the streams. But of late years salmon are rarely tound in the river and Its tributaries,! while trout are be coming scarce . as comparea wnn me supply of former years. , , Why the risn Are Disappearing. Several causes have cdntributed - and are contributing to the growing scarcity of salmon and the diminished numbers of .trout In the stream of the valley Lack or adequate fish ladders where Irrigation dams have been built on the lower waters of tbe river and the mudA dying of the waters- from placer min ing operations are alleged to have been largely responsible for the disappear ance of salmon from the upper valley. That trout have been killed by the thousands each ' recurring .season through the irrigating ditches of . the valley is a well known fact. Cats Professional risbers. There are also thousands of house cats in the valley. Cats prefer fish to all other foods. During the soring and summer, after the water nas been turned" into the ditches and spread over the fields these cats go fishing, and they rarely lack a bounteous repast of rain bow trout, vat certain times In the summer, one may cross the fields and pick up a basket of trout 'within a few rods from the shallow and receding waters that have been turned Into the ditches. It Is said the Intakes to the ditches are not screened because the fine wire clogs up with leaves and trash and it is too much trouble to keep them clean. ' ; , ' It Is suggested that there are also other laws the observance of which causes some trouble, yet they are en forced. It is also suggested that the anglers of Grant countypay an annual fee for a fishing license ana are entitled to the benefits supposed to accrue therefrom ifi the conservation of the fish In the streams of this county as well as in other sections of the state.
