Editor Statesman: j j
The Oregon State Sportsmen's association is composed of affiliated
clubs whose membership comprises men in all walks of life, who have
a keen interest in conserving and protecting one of the state's most
important aisefs- the pleasures of outdoor life. - !
:Thel927 legislature, after a thorough investigation &i$ hearing
all: arguments presented, passed a bill closing the Nestucca river to
net fishing; . The small group of net fishermen about 53 Incumber .
who were alfecled'by this law have Invoked the referendum on the
measure and same will be submitted to the voters of the state for
their .approval or rejection at the special election to be held June 28,
1327. The ballot .number is 222
against .-closing.
"For many years the Nestucca river has been a favorite stream for
hundreds of families, especially in the western part of the state. The
good resulting from this valuable recreational opportunity is incal
. culable.
Investigation discloses that the use of nets by commercial fisher
men In the Nestucca river tends toward ultimate extermination of
salmon and steel-head trout In this stream. These barriers make it
almost impossible for the fish to reach spawning grounds.
'We are informed that in no other state or country is net fishing
permitted on so small a stream, as the Nestucca river. Opponents of
the pending bill are giving no thought to the future.1 The salmon on
the Atlantic coast nave been practically exterminated by reason of
failure to use protective measures, We;want'to prevent' such happen

The Bits for Breakfast man can
give gustatory testimony to this,
from samples tried, through the
generosity of Mr. Peterson.- He
grew four-fifths of an acre of these
berries last year, and realized on
his crop 1400 gross. He has finer
berries this year, and more to the
acre. His sales are partly to the
retail trade and partly to the
stores, and some to the canneries.
This is a great strawberry year
and the ' greatest strawberry dis

number of small fortunes made by

cial.) The yearly meeting of the

an exceptionally successful ses

a net gain instead of a net loss.
