Steelheads and Salmon Trout
We are indebted to the erudite editor of the Eugene Guard
who therewith qualifies for membership in the Spoon, Ilot
dog and Salmon-egg club, for the following interesting
information concerning stcclhead and salmon trout:
Reports from coastal streams announco a heuvy run of steelhead
salmou, inoro commonly known to aiiui tHincn tin salmon trout. Pound
for pound and ounce for ounce, no Burner lish swims. Late August
or early September each year sees them swarming In from the ocean,
clean, bright and silvery; hungry and full of fight. They follow the
full run of chinooks mid sllveialdes, und their favorite food Is the roe
of the larger salmon.
Thoso flsUonuou who disdain the uko of any lure other'than an
artificial fly know naught of tho sport of ruhlug for sleelheads.
Occasionally the fish aro caught with spoon or spinner, but tho surest
way is to use salmon eggs the fresher tho better. Some Individuals
will snap at the white mealed tail of a crawfish, and the steelhead
will not always refuso earthworms.
Steelheads aro caught at a season after fly fishing for trout Is
about over. Tho lower Siuslaw offers the sport now; the Willamette
and McKenzie later. It is always best near tidewater.
And this from the university city, the educational hub of
Oregon! The shamelessness of an "angler" who would
champion the use of salmon-eggs to take trout is exceeded
only by ignorance of the fish discussed, and in the misin
formation spilled upon the public.
lhe stcclhead is not a salmon, but a sea-going rainbow
trout, or as it is locally called at Eugene, a red-side. It is
classified under Oregon fishing laws drafted by packers, as
a salmon, except in Koguc river, so that it can be taken com
mercially, usually frozen and shipped to eastern markets.
It undergoes a metamorphosis in salt water, grows rapidly,
Decomcs silvery, with the steel-blue head which gives the
name. The longer it remains in fresh water, however, the
more it regains its rainbow characteristics, and by spawning
time is flashing the crimson stripes.
The so-called salmon-trout, on the other hand, is a sea
going cutthroat trout which in cold mountain streams,
remains the diminutive black-spoiled trout and is locally
cauea ' speckled trout at fcugeue. it also undergoes a
metamorphosis in salt water, developing a yellowish belly. It
seldom reaches a weight of over 3 pounds, while the steelhead
run from 5 pounds up to 20.
The growth, the coloration, the habits of trout are regu
lated by environment. Kapidity of growth depends upon tem
perature of water and abundance of feed. Local character
istics of light and shade, of minerals in the water, etc., give
the same fish a different appearance and a different name in
different localities, though the fish may be structurally the
same, and under the samo environment, develop common
characteristics.
The migratory instinct is probably hereditary, though
also modified by environment. Why the steelheads or rain
bows of the Koguc should travel annually to the sea, while
the redsides or rainbow of the Mackenzie remain as land
locked trout, is probably duo to heredity as well as the dif
ference in the streams, their channels, their food resources
and their distance from the sea. Anyway, the difference is
there, though structurally the two fish are the same.
Trout are an interesting study and the amount of mis
information current about them is amazing. Rut it is not
necessary to resort to bait to take cither steelhead or salmon
trout, for both will rise to a fly at this time of year and
there is no comparison of tho respective pleasure realized. I
As well slaughter ducks on the sit by shooting them in the
back with a pump-gun as to use salmon-eggs, the least skill
ful and most unsportsmanlike of methods, to take trout.

"Perhaps not," ho admitted
lamely. "But if I don't understand

years, do you think there's
much chance that I ever will?"
Patricia was silent for a .mo

dancing water. What a pity that
this man, who could give his wife
such a brilliant, Interesting life,
was so hampered! "He may be our

that was what Andrew had said.
She let her- thoughts roam, un

journey across the Atlantic what

"I think it's time for us to go

down at her wrist, to turn to him

To the Editor: We read in an
editorial of Tuesday's Capital
Journal and heredity plays even
a greater part in t ho development
uf the criminal than does environ
ment. It is true that persons are
born with mental as well us physi
cal weaknesses which are easily
preyed upon by the associated en
vironments if good, will keep the
individual in h-v:ony with the
group, i bad, will brand him us
a social unfit and an outcast. But
why argue as to which plays the
more important part ono (hered
ity) sets tho limits o possibilities
for the indiivdual, and the other
(environment) forme the possibili
ties. The. two factors are Insep
arable and work in conjunction
with each other. The result Is the
individual as he appears to the
ijroup.
" I quote Trom the editorial:
"In any group of criminals, the
most common physical character
istic is the tendency towards' ab
normalities, such as peculiar
shaped cranuims. prominent lower
jaws, irregular ears and teeth and
muscular irregularities. On the
psychic side, there Is absence of
moral sensibilities."
Such a theory of criminology)
as put forth by Lombroso In tho -
Jailer part of the nineteenth cen
tury, but criminologists and pen
olos'sts today have thrown this
theory into discard us the facts
fail to correlate with such a view.
In fact Loinbrcao never gave his
theory a test. An Knglish doctor
named Griffiths started such u
work which was later finished by
Dr. Goring. A study was made of
three thousand consecutive cases
during a period of eight years.
His conclusion is as follows:
" Our results nowhere con
firm tho evidence (of a physical
criminal type), nor justify the al
legation of criminal anthropolo
gists. They challenge their cv
dence at almost every point. In
fact, botlf'with regard to measure
ments and the presence of physi
cal anomalies in criminals, our
f.tatistirs present a startling con
formity with similar statistics of
the law abiding class. Our inevit
able conclusion must he that there
w no such thing as a physical
criminal type."
Goring reported that be found
about the same difference in cran
ial measurements between th'J
graduates of Cambridge and tiiej
Tai'uatos of Oxford- as between I
the criminals find the law-abiding
As to the psychic factor experi
ments aud data at tne present teua
to show that criminals have an
unbalanced nervous system. Lack

BRINGING UP FATHER
Sobsister Stuff
- A writer in the 0ki Forum declares Hint crime is due
solely to disordered nervous systems and the "lack of proper
coordination between the emotional and intellectual factors,
lie continues:
Tile old i(!ia of priooim an a mi'tinH of puniHlnnrnt is rapidly
cnmiiiK Into ilLnfavor a the hiirnlnR of witches and the application
of tho rack and other relics of larliarlm. If we look at tho problem
as It Is tho result of heredity and environment we will treat these
unfortuniito Individuals a we would any other Hick -person. It Is
well nnd Rood to protect society that Is what prisons are for, hut
not punish unfortunates for U10 lucapaclllcH of their forefathers nor
tho deKeneraliliR stimulus of their environment which has preyed
upon them.
There is no more pernicious theory than the one stated
above, which relieves the individual of respon.-ibilily for his
acts and excuses crime as the result of society's sins, that
would convert our prisons into hospitals for the coddling of
criminals and thereby place a premium on crime.
This sort oT twaddle by woll-meanitifi uplifters, accounts
largely for the crime-waves swcepiiur the country and the
tremendous increase of crime in the United Nates, it is an
incentive to crime for the sohsislers ami sentimentalists to
take punishment out of tho prison, and make it as attractive
as n country club, to waste sympathy upon the criminals
instead of the victims.
We had to restore capital punishment, barbarous as it
seems, to curb homicide. Wo will have to twain make our
prison places of punishment, if we are to curl) crime.
B-f ,olly: that look uike.
