E D IT O R IA L S such waters are specifically closed under Sec- j tion 1 of this so-called conservation measure. Southwestern Oregon’s offshore salmon catches would have to be landed at Crescent City, California; North shore catches at As toria. Suppose a troller ran into Bandon to har-j bor before a storm, when a southwester was on the make. Under Section 7 of this Act, | this would be a direct violation. For all law enforcement officers are authorized to “Seize and take into his possession any fishing de vice, including boats, automobiles and such,, used or possessed in violation of this Act.” One marvels at the intemperance of this measure. It is not even remotely connected with true conservation. Is it possible that it was written with the deliberate intention of delivering our coastal fishery to California? After all, one of its chief sponsors is a recent arrival from California. This measure deserves an emphatic No] in November. Guest Editorial. . . SHALL WE LOSE OUR OFF-SHORE FISHING? (Editor's Note: Due to the highly controversial river closure measure on the November 2nd ballot, we have asked Francis E. Sell, noted out-of-doors writer of Coos county, to present his side, and that of the commercial fishing interests on the meas ure. We will welcome an editorial from the pro ponents of the bill to be run in this column.) Oregon voters have a momentous decis ion to make on the River Closure Measure in November. The decision, stripped of its legal phraseology is simply this: Shall we deliver over to California our offshore salmon fish ery, or shall we retain this stable industry as part of our own economy? Here are the sections of the River Closure measure which provides for just such dis ruption of our offshore salmon fishery: SECTION 1. “No person, except as pro vided in section 2 and 3 of this Act, shall take or attempt to take any salmon or trout from the waters of any stream which empties into the Pacific Ocean south of the mouth of the Columbia River, or from the tributaries of any such stream or from waters within a radius of three miles from the center of the mouth of such stream, by any manner other than hook or line, commonly called angling. Is there any three mile section of Oregon coast without a stream of some kind empty ing into the ocean? No! That provision effectively closes all inshore water to commercial trolling within the three mile limit. No troller can come within this limit without violating this act, if he has commercial fishing gear aboard. This is spec ifically forbidden by Section 4 of this Act— “No person shall have in his possession on any waters subject to Section 1 of this Act, any commercial fishing device capable of tak ing salmon or trout, except such as may be lawfully used during any lawful open season for the commercial catching of shad or striped bass in Coos Bay or on the Coquille, Umpqua and Siuslaw rivers . . This unwholesome provision would make it utterly impossible for any troller to law fully make port in such harbors as Bandon, Coos Bay, or Winchester Bay, because all Coquille Valley Sentinel PU B LISH ER S 'ASSOCIATION N A T IO N U t » llj S ubscription P rice >3.00 P er Y ear in Coos County. $4.00 O utside County.

There have been two major sources of suf-. fering and death this year, and they are the same villains that appeared last year and in many former years. They are heart attacks and gunshot woundings. This year more persons have died from heart attacks while hunting than in any prev ious year. The cause seems to be much the same, however, as in previous years. Persons who are not used to the exertion involved in hunting do not realize their own limitations. Long, hard hikes coupled with the excite ment of bagging a deer can spell doom. Only the hunter himself can prevent such occur rences. Our other group of accidents involved with the hunting seasons is traceable to the hunt Roseburg (S p ecial)—T he Doug er for prevention. las county co u rt has p u t its su p - Gunshot woundings started early in Ore port behind a highw ay ro u te fo l gon this year, in fact the first accident of the lowing th e U m pqua riv e r from year took place in January of 1954.
