WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 13, 1924 PAGE TWO THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM, OREGON vdtt itl : News from Nearby Valley Points By the Capital Journal's Special Correspondents From the Richest and Best Part of the State Briefs were filed Monday In the state supreme court here for the case which Is to test the constltu tionality of the state law under which Governor Pierce han ap pointed a dozen or more special nrofiecutors In several counties of the state. Tho suit was brought by A. J. Mooro, district attorney of Deschutes county. .Tho test caae resulted from an order ismied by tho governor on -April 3, 1!)24, appointing Hons Furnhmu as prosecutor of all prohibition cases In Ociichutus county and placing tho county prohibition enforcement fund act aside for the district attorney un der the control of Mr. Farnham. "District Attorney Moore hod not refused nor neglected to en force the law so far as it was hiH duty to do so," read the brief filed by Mr. Moore's attorneys, "and nil complaints for alleged violations of law were " being vigorously k prosecuted.. "The district attorney objected to and opposed tho appointment of Mr. Farnham and requested the .governor, if ho had any evidence or information of any alleged law violations, to present It to his ot- flce. The governor Ignored tho re quest and did not at that time nor since give any reason ior me ap pointment of Mr. Farnham. Act Void. Is Contention "We contend that the act of - 1915 under which Mr. Farnham attempted to qunlify Is unconsti tutional and void, as It violates various sections and provisions of the constitution. If the law Is valid then tho appointment made .under It Is illegal and invalid be cause the provisions of the art of .1915 as well as the prior statute of 1913 have not been followed. "Enforcement of tho law regu lating a particular class of crimes .cannot bo taken out of the district attorney's hands, because It Is his duty to prosecute violations of all laws and he shall appear for tho state In his district In overy enso "where tho stnte of Oregon Is a party, and ho shnll have charge, ns attorney for the state, of every proceeding which nncesHiirlly nriscs In prosecuting tho cnuse under duo process of law. "It la true that tho legislature might provide him with assistants, might authorise tho governor to appoint special prosecutors, who would work under tho direction, could ho controlled by, and who might givo nsBiiitanco to, tho dis trict attorney, If he ret ul red such assistance. Rut tho legislature can nut compel the district attor ney lo turn over to an adverse or antagonistic officer duties which under tho constitution ho should perform. "Therefore when floveruor JPlcrco, without tho consent of the district attornoy nnd over his protest, designated an Individual ns a special prosecutor In prohibi tion eases nnd that prosecutor at tempts lo direct and control the funds required by the district at torney for tho proper nnd legal .enforcement of the law, then the district nttorney Is being deprived of Itts duty. "The governor of Oregon was elected by the people of I ho whole state to perform his constitutional duties. Tho dial rlct nttorney of Deschutes county was elected by tho people of his district to per form his constitutional duties. Tho right of tho peoplo to have their district nttorney remain In offlco nnd to prosecute offenders ngalnst tho laws of tho stain In his district should not be lightly nor arbitrarily taken away, and the governor has no right to Im press his whims or opinions, whether they be welt founded In Justice or whether they ho purely selfish nnd despotic, without first having Justification therefor, and showing In a legal and open forum his Justifications, if nny ho has. for removing an honest public official from tho offlco nnd trust bestowed upon him by tho voters of the state of Oregon." As a result of llovcrnor Pierre's action In appointing special prose-! rotors, in various counties of the state at least two regularly elected district attorneys have reslgneil, nnd others have protested against the unfairness of the law under whtrh tho executive has niailo the selections.

Ucfore mo ns I write I also hnvt Albert Kichard Wetjen's appro elation of Oregon. Place yourself mentally in the minds of tourists in the cold winter homes of the north, and perhaps you would de cide to journey forth to behold the wonders and count it well worth the while to work your way In harvest or field, so long as you hud been enabled to behold for yourself the country thus so wide ly advertised. Now, Mr. Editor, if you were In nny country but the one you were reading of do you not think you would after reading tho above quoted lines have an inward desire to see for yourself and get the vision of those who had gone be fore. And do you think, after you had gone thousands of miles and endured hardships of the road in order to behold that country, you would appreciate such a slap in the face as you nio;it surely gave to the tourist in your editorial. All flivver drivers are not flivver owners solely. And, anyway, our forefathers journeyed forth to be hold this wonderrul country and filially located here In an ox team. And so far a my limited knowl edged Is concerned we have no rec ords of them as being referred to as migrating birds either. I for one feel that the arttcl-j j run in your editorial column wasi uncalled for, and as a voter and cklssun of our gloriously beautiful i city of Salem feel an apology would be in the order of trie nay. tor surely you couiu noi nave n;ui a clear vision when the aforesaid irticle was written of the tourist as I have personally seen them to be. S. S. UKACrJ. To the Editor: i'here Is urgent cause for legislation in Oregon to protect tho rapidly dhmujuming trout In our trout streams. The famous McKcnzio river, for 60 years the best trout stream In Ore gon, is today practically iisueu out. A careful study of the causes discloses many abuses which ahouiil 1)0 corrected. One man, early in the season, caught and smoked or dried one hundred pounds of fine largo red-dde trout. Another man camped on the river and for 40 days, each day caught and brought in a largo basket of flue reiisine trout, probably averaging 25 pounds of turn per nay. tuners have hired boats and slowly back ed down the lower river cleaning It of fish as they descended, so that by this day, August 10, 1924, lotts than four months after the opening of the season, the river is ilmost without game fisu. There must, at once, be estab lished a season limitation. Twen ty to thirty pounds is enough for nny one family in any season, x ne drying or preserving of trout should he stopped and iisning irorn boats prohibited. Tho average family going to the mountains In July or August nnould he permit ted a few meals with trout as tho nrinclpnl food. As It Is now, not one family in fifty gets any trout from the mountain streams, an 1 aro forced to look to tlio coast streams which are replenished from the Ocean with annual runs. I havo fished the McKenzie river for more than 4j years and havo observed the slow but suro end of trout flubing uniens prompt and drastic meaiiures arc taken to pro servo and protect the few fish left. Yesterday, In order to get iisn. ior my family, 1 was compelled to go into an inaccessablo and very iian- geious place where no other fish erman had ventured this season. There I caught and brought In tour nice rod aides, each a meal for the average family and I should not complain if not allowed more than this number if only tho fish erman hog couiu uo i milieu so that till families could have at ienat a taste of mountain trout. The principal breeding stream tor rcdsldo trout Is Smith river, a tributary of tho McKenitie vhtcii flows Into tho McKenzie 11) miles below Clear lake, the sourco of the MeKenxlo. Hmith river Is sup posed to bo eloscd to fishermen, but this season Uo hanks art! liter ally tramped down by tho tracks )f fishermen wtio have paid no at tention to the law or regulations of the game commission. I am told by reliable persons that a .similar condition exists on other lo;ad streams tributary to the Mc- Keiu'.io and with tho breeding grounds fished out and the main river whipped clean of trout the n,l of tho trout fishing on huh famous stream is clearly close at hand. Kastern peoplo visiting Oregon will find that our glow ing account or mountain streams j teeming with game fish, is a myth or scon will lie ir uio iisnermiui hog goes on unrestrained. Mol- linun hot springs are located on tho McKenzie river about lift mi leu above Its mouth and at the hlghtvd tin mil u habitation and fishermen must wnlk the traits to ream ine river at any point above here, y.n the enttro upper river for at least Ifi miles or as far ns the iish can aniH'iul, is fished out. I havo Jn.-d returned from a trip of inspection over this upper river. It rciiuiieil two days of hard tramping and disclosed the fact that every foot of this upper river has been fished r many times this season. All along on both sides of tho river o the remains of camping parties where fires havo been hnilt aiul u the brush cut away from the stream in pluees to permit cast ing.
