Spring Fishing
Glamor of spring, the glory of April, the call of the wild,
sent a party to the coast to fish Sunday, as atavism requires
a slaughter of some kind of living creature to bring to an
end a perfect day. Without some kind of a blood sacrifice,
the day would be utterly ruined, of course.
The fisherman spent Saturday evening at Neskowin-by-
Ihe-Sea, an all the year 'round resort on the new scenic
Roosevelt highway overlooking the Pacific, a resort owned
in Salem, built-up by Salem and populated from Salem, that
has had a magic growth and become a sort of summer Salem,
as well as a strategic point for anglers. There is a fine new
thrcc-story hotel with excellent service a picturesque auto
park facing the sea, high pressure water system, sanitary
sewer system, store and other conveniences.
As the party arrived, another party of fishermen proudly
displayed as trophy of prowess, a large steelhead, the
prismatic stripes of this sea-going rainbow glistening in the
rays of the setting sun. The mammoth trout had been
scooped up by hand in shallow water, where "spent", weak
and emaciated from spawning, it fell easy' Victim. Though
dry, tarteless and unfit to eat, it filled some "sportsman's"
ideas of sport.
Early Sunday, while the frost jewels still sparkled in the
sunlight, after a beautiful drive of ten miles, the party
reached Otis, on the Salmon river, its destination, to find
autos and anglers more plentiful than fish. Another car
ar -ived from the south containing a merry party of Salem
Hi boys and girls. How they got therc 100 miles from home
uncnapcronea at that time of day, is a mystery that only
parents who blame the schools can solve.
There were fifty odd fishermen on the Rmall stream, some
trolling in boats, some wading in midstream up or down
trying every lure known. Trollers dragged hardware or
metal junk the big bright spoon "sandwiches being baited
with worms or chub as "hot-dogs", an imposing array bigger
and heavier than any fish in the creek. Stream waders used
principally smaller "hot-dogs" in the form of baited spinners,
or salmcn eggs, worms, or other bait. Two lonesome fly
f ir' ormcn cast from the shore where brush permitted access,
enjoying the mellifluous perfume of millions of skunk cab
bages emblematic of their luck.
Few large trout rose to the fly, though there were plenty
of small fish to be thrown back, principally young salmon
d-ifting down to the sea. The junk-peddlers, however,
secured fair catches, mostly of gravid or spent fish not yet
recuperated from spawning, still feeding on the bottom,
without life or pep enough to dart and leap for surface fljes,
therefore unable to put up much of a fight or to be much of
a table delicacy after being caught in a primitive manner
requiring little skill and an science.
The same story is repeated in all streams and shows the
criminal folly of opening the trout season in the midst of the
spawning period. Not nil the hatcheries in the world can
offset the ravages of 90,000 anglers in spawning time. Close
the streams from January until June, when spawning is over
in all except in mountain headwaters, which should be closed
the year around, give nature a chance and hatchery work
can be suspended. Trout will then take the fly and have a
fighting chonce, and there will be no excuse to use the bar
barous unsportsmanlike paraphernalia that spells certain
slaughter for emaciated victims.
At present there is no closed season for trout big enough
to spawn, only for those under ten inches in length. There
Is no closed season at all In coastal waters. All of which
shows what a farce our expensive game protective machine
is, which functions only for politics and spoils. Close the
season, abolish the commission, save $500,000 for taxpayers,
and get better angling when trout are fit for catching.

My Matrimonial
VACATION byVioktDare
"OCT YOl'H MAN!"
A man once called rue a syn
thetic vamp.
That means you're made by
man artificially transformed into
a siren," he explained. "You were
meant to be a nice little wife with
a devoted husband and a large
family, and Instead her you are,
rushing- about an-1 devastating the
land, making every man who sees
sou fall in love with you, asking
no quarter and giving none."
Well he was right. Ever since I
was seventeen my motto has been,
"Get Your Man," and the Canad
ian mounted police wore never
much more successful than-1. He
was right about my not belns
meant for a siren, too. It was my
mother, whom I call Virginia, who
made me one.
When I was born she gave me
one glance and sail, "Thank
Heaven she's a blonde!" The nurses
.ro tested that nobody eould tell
what so younT an infant was go
ing to look like, but Virginia insist
ed, an J nlie was right. 1 thtnk she
began plannlng'her campaign light
then, tho campaign that was to
give hnr and me all the things Pad
couldn't give us, because he hadn't
the money or social position.
Competition was pretty keen as
I gretr oUe.-. I weut with the
oa tighter of the best people in
lewn, and when Virginia sent me
to a fashionable boarding school
she warned me that 1 must be care
ful about the girls I associated
with.
"Pick out the ones who have
family and money, not just the
most popular ones." she told me.
"There may be a very unattractive
girl who has an eligible brother
or cousin; if you're nl?c to her
she'll appreciate It. Just be care
ful."
I htted advice like that, and de
termined that I wouldn't act on it.
Virginia didn't know about my
first trip to West Point, when I
was seventeen, my last year at
school. It was just after my Easter
vacation, when I hul gone home,
and found her nnd L)aldy having
an awful ro-r. One evening 1
came downstairs, ready to start for
a party. The people I was going
with were waiting for me, and Vir
ginia was standing in tho doorway,
Icoking at them. She made a
urunrlng picture.
Hearing me, she whirled arounJ.
"Come into the sun parlor with
n.e," she commanded, and when
we itud reached It and closed the
door, she turned cn me almost an
grily. "We've gt to find for our
selves," she said. "And we'll do it!
I can give you everything for a
year, but that's all before the end
of the year you've got to get mar
ried, and well married, too. Or
we go to ;he poorhouse. Your fath
er's going to go off to that hunting
lodpn of his in Carolina, and I'm
going to get a divorce."
Dad ani I had never known each
ether very well h always made
me uncomfortable, with his quiz
zical smile and his eyes that seem
ed to see right through me. I know
that he'd been so disappointed be
cause I wasn't a boy that he'd
never cured much for me.
I went back to school, and three
uays later I went to a hop at West
Point. The man who was to take
nie "drag me," In West Point
slnng- was ill, and anoth r man
substituted for him. That o'her
man was Jim Larrabec.
He looked down' at me as we
were Irtroduced. an:l smiled. That1
in He sent hi vera stra?T.tt :hroii
me. That night at the hop he tl
up my program, and we spent i
evening sauntering up and dof
moonlit MirtaUon, which 1 belt, i
is one of the most beautiful waj
in the woiiJ. g
The next day he oana duvcf
to me aftor parade, and w ,,,!
the afternoon together. Wher i
went bacic to school Sunday ni( i
t wore his class ring and a j
bon around my nock it woe i
big and heavy that I couldn't w4
it on my hand. Wo were eagaj
Virginia wis will. J had thous,
etio'd be pleased. Jim bad told y
how we'd live, how the governing
would give us our house where!
we were sutioned, and mo&t I
our f:irnltur?, and he said Virgi
c -uld live with us. I Uiou.
she'd like the prodoect of gay ar,
life. I
8he simply raved.
"Army officers never have
ironey you'll be old and dot.
before your time I won't have
fr't-nd his rln? back. I'll hear p
more of this nonae.iso!"
Now, Jim was a fighting In -man.
He was first captain at
Polnt: and awfully popular w
everybody. He had the reputat
of being an awful heart smasl
you know how It always is w
these bis, rather homely, fajc
atlng men nobody can re ;
them. Virginia was the only t
son I ever knew who could re
Jlin.
I stole away and went to his c
n-.envemont. Immediately after t
exercises he and I slipped away ;
the wonderful big chapel on ;
hill and were married.
I adored him, and I thought :

Yet within six months ho 1

;:nd I wis w;ll on ihe way to

I was rea.ly to listen to Vlrj
