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.

said paper nnd under caption of

have taken a surer method of turn

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

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. These conditions can best be
r a 1 led to tho n 1 1 e n t ion of ou r
