Rogue River Closure
Sportsmen of the upper Rogue river have initiated a
constitutional Amendment closing the stream to commercial
fishing, designed to put the salmon canneries at the mouth
of the Rogue out of business on the theory that it will im
prove angling for steethead in the upper river. As the writ
er has fished in the Rogue river for 25 years, lived for over 12
years in Medford when he spent a great deal of his time on
the river, is one of the owners of a cabin and a mile and a
half of river front, where he spends his vacations, he is as
much interested in preserving angling as anyone. As the
author of the initiative bill closing the Rogue to commercial
fishing in 1910, as lobbyist for the anglers at half a dozen
legislative sessions, and as one who has spent much time in
study and research as well as fish culture, his familiarity
with the subject enables an intelligent discussion of the bill.
The Rogue river steelhead le a sea-going rainbow trout that ascends
the stream annually to spawn and then returns to the ocean. The young
fish when about a year old drift down to sea and on maturity return to
spawn. The main run of steelhead enters the river in late fall and winter,
spawning In the spring. A secondary and smaller run enters the stream
In the late spring and summer. These are the fuh sought by anglers for
after acclimatization In fresh water they readily tax the fly. This run
spawns In the late fall and early winter months.
While offering the freest fly fishing In the world, these summer
steelhesds are an erratic fish, then runs are as uncertain and rarlable
as their appetites and affected by seasonal and climatic vagaries. Bpro
dlcally they are plentiful but nsuany they are few and far between and
their taking requires expert skilL In some years, probably because of
the ravages by enemies In the sea. the run Is a practical failure, as Is
sometimes the case with salmon.
For 40 years disappointed anglers have made the can
nery at the mouth of the stream the goat for their ill-luck
and their discontent capitalized by job seeking demagogic
politicians, has made Rogue river fish bills the bane of legis
latures though many who never cast a line in the Rogue,
have been elected to office by championing the cause of the
anglers.
In 1910 this discontent flowered in an initiative bill clos
ing the stream to commercial fishing. This was caused
largely by the refusal of the late R. D. Hume, owner of the
cannery to cease seining operations and the taking of steel-
heads commercially. Mr. Hume died and the initiative bill
was carried by default. A bill to reopen the stream, with
proper safeguards, was vetoed in 1911 by Governor West.
For two years there was no commercial fishing In the Rogue and
the result was a disappointment to the sponsors of the bill. The salmon
were so plentiful that they monopolised all the pools and riffles, where
stcclhead lurked, and drove them out. After spawning, the dead salmon
were strewed sll along the banks and the stench was so bad during the
fall months that It drove anglers from the stream. They were among
the poorest of years for the steelhead anglers.
When the Rogue was reopened by the legislature of
1913 it was on a compromise basis. The steelhead was classi
fied as a trout and its taking commercially banned. The sal
mon season was materially shortened. That present laws
provide every safeguard for the steelhead. Seining has been
abolished, drift nets are stipulated with mesh too large to
take steelhead, and even the silverside salmon pack aband
oned. As far as laws go, the steelhead receives ample pro
tection. If there is some poaching, it is not by the can
neries. Both tlw salmon runs and the steelhead runs hare decreased during
recent years, but tills Is not duo to the existing laws but the changing
conditions and the advance of civilisation. A few years ago there was
but one dam on the stream, now there are several There was but one
power plant, now are several. There waa little irrigation, now most of
the valley Is under Irrigation. More young fish are killed by power tur
bines and far more stranded through Irrigation ditches, than any num
ber of hatcheries can turn out.
A cycle of dry years is also having its effect in diminish
ing the flow of the river, already lowered by use of water
in irrigation. Low water means warm water and fish will
not leave the cold water of the sea to enter the warm waters
of the Rogue, so they delay ascent thereby often being forced
to spawn in the lower waters and tributaries. And the past
two years the water has been so low in midsummer, that fish
could not ascend the rapids to the upper stretches.
The records of the state engineer show that water Is being taken
from the Rogue and its tributaries to Irrigate 44.33S acres In seven Irri
gation districts, all organized in the past 15 years. These districts are
as follows: Eagle Point, 9,101 acres; Talent. 10.668 acres; Medford. t.307
acres; Rogue River Vnlley (Central Point) 4.T74 acres; Gold BUI. 1.070
acres; Grants Pass, 12,591; acres; Fort Vannoy, S17 acres. These do not
Include numerous smaller Irrigation projects, such as Table Rock, and
the local ditches for bottom land farms. All of Uicm waste fish and
despite screening efforts, the waste goes en for screens fill up and arc
janked out. The writer has seen alfalfa fields covered with dead trout,
and spawning trout marooned rn dltclies and pools.
Another feature not taken into consideration is the
over-exploitation of the Rogue as an angling stream. There
are a hundred fishermen now where they was one a score
of years ago, all taking their toll of fish and depleting the
supply. During the summer season its banks are lined with
cars of California tourists who spend weeks camping along
its banks. These alone would account for the extermination
of the fish as they account for it in that once fine angling
stream, the McKenzie.
The anglers, like the prohibitionists, think that all that Is neces
sary to do to bring Utopia is to pass a constitutional amendment. If
they succeed, there sill be the same results. The basic trouble will not
be remedied. Th supply of steelhesds will not be Increased. Poaching
and bootlegging of tun will multiply a thousand fold and the hostile
sentiment of the residents on the lower river win render enforcement A
farce and repeal win be difficult. A police regulation like this has no bus
iness In tlie slate constitution. It should be no part of t!ie fundamental
law.
e e
The cannery at the mouth of the river does not interfere
vitb. the steelhead. Its closure would mean the wastage of
a valuable food product, for tho Rogue as a salmon stream,
ranks second to the Columbia, and the anglers do not seek
salmon they are plentiful as it is. It would mean con
fiscation of investment and destruction of property without
recompense. It would mean the driving out of industry and
the loss of the only payroll in Curry county, which in this
off-year distributed $101,000 in the small community. It
would not restore primeval conditions, for it is civilization,
not the cannery that causes the trouble.
It is a purely selfish measure, designed for the benefit
of sportsmen and the exploitation of the tourist by the upper
river region. It will work suffering and hardship in times
already hard enough on the people of the lower river. The
bill is largely financed by rich Californians who are buying
up large tracts of river front for private preserves and ex
cluding the public. They will be its main beneficiaries. In no
way will it benefit the people of Oregon. It should be de
feated for it will not accomplish its purpose.

THE itunJincM and reliability of tlic new Ford, go evident in
llie customary, evcry-day nse of a motor ear, are revealed
also in many unusnal tests of stamina and endurance. Over
deeply rutted roads, through desert sands and deep snow, U
has gone forward to new conquests of time and distance.
From every corner of the world come reports of its good
performance.
In England, the new Ford won three gold medals, one
silver medal, and one bronze medal in the ran from London
lo Exeter. In Pern it won first and third places in the re
liability run over the tortuons Amanceas Road. A Mexican
general tells how one of the first of the new Fords in that
country was driven from Acapnlco to Atoyae "over a difficult
country where there are no roads at all and the land is strewn
with rocks and soft sand. Natives along tlto way saw their
first automobile with positive wonder.'
In Java, new Ford was driven to the top of the Dieng
Ilateau, one of the highest mountains in Java. Previously:
the ascent to the old Ilindu statue at the summit had been
r compartment.
made only by horseback to the rest-house, thence on foot
In Poland a new Ford won the 2000-mile international race
from Warsaw to Lemberg to Warsaw.
Two years ago, a new Ford fought its way. along rough
wagon trails to become the first ear in history to cross tho
Peace River Block from St. John to Hudson Hope, from
the Alberta boundary to the western border of the block.
In 1930, the new Ford won the winter race arranged
by the Royal Automobile Club" of Sweden. This race was
over slippery mountain roads. At times the car was half
hidden by snow. Frequently the temperature was 20 degree
below zero. '
These severe tests show the enduring quality that has
been built into the new Ford and its ability to stand up under
gruelling driving conditions, Long, hard service will con.
firm your first impression of quality and increase your
pride in its capable performance. The value of simplicity
of design, good materials and accuracy in inanufactnring is
especially apparent after the first twenty-five thousand miles.
