When complaints are mada by the fishermen they should not be ignored and treated with disdain, but should be ex amined and proper steps tnkon to pre vent Infringement of the rights of many for the benefit ol the few.

The strife that has been heretofore with regard to fish legislation and the kind of gear that may be used, I believe haa somewhat ehaiiKcd during the past year. Tho large run of "Chinook" salmon last season.
