Not since the Ament dam between Grants Pass and Gold Hill was constructed a num ber of years ago, has a run of silver side salmon made its appearance in the Rogue river, until last week, when a large school passed up the river headed for their spawning grounds on the headwaters of the stream. Quite a number of large catches were made at Gold Hill of these splendid fish, which is mistaken by many for the steelhead trout. The Ament dam. which has been a source of annoyance to the game authorities since its construction, was recently partially blasted out by the order of the state game commission, after the matter had beerf placed be fore 'federal food and fish commissions, and the run of the sllverside In the river above the dam is without a doubt the result of having the obstruc tion removed. Large numbers of the early run of chlnook salmon are also reported to be In the river, which means that a good supply will reach the spawning grounds above here before the netting season opens down the river. is also charged with selling clgarets to a minor.
