WILL HE LOSE THE BALL?

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

Several persons have died and others have
been wounded in this year’s still young hunt
ing seasons.
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
