BO.OOO OO. to 150 ENTERTAINS EVERYBODY EVERYWHERE' ROGUE RIVER FISH INFORMATION. The Stream is Being Rapidly Du popnlatod and Soon Will be . Bare of Fish. The fish that inhabit Roguo river and tributaries are Chinook aud Sil ver salmon, Silverside or Stcclhead trout, Brook, Rainbow and Cutthroat trout. The Chinook salmon commence running np Rogue river in April of each year, and keep running until August 20th. These fish lie along the river, from the month of the Illinois to the head of Rogne river. They lie close to their 8awning beds, which is iu the deep holes jut below the long ripples. They deponit their spawn nKn theso beds, if they art) not dis turbed. The Chinook salmon does its spawning in the months of September, October and November. The Silver saltnou come np Roguo river the lat ter lirt of October and the first of November and spawn in December and January. The Silver salmon are the hook bill, commonly called Dog sal mon. They aro not so large as the Chinook salmon. Tho Silversido or Steelhead trout spawn mostly in tho tributaries of the Rogue river, but some spawn in the main stream. Tho bulk of these sjiawu in the months of February and March, and the Brook, Rainbow and Cutthroat trout spawn iu the Rogue's tributaries. 801110 claim that the Sil verhead or Steelhead is a siilnio", but that is a mistake. They aro a fresh water fish. While salmon aro known to be salt-water fish, it is true, how ever, that salmon iu Rogue river spawn in said river; bnt the min nows from the Npawn go to salt water within sixteen months after they are large enongh to care for themselves and these same spawns will return within four and five years from the time they go to salt water, and they return for tho pnriioso of s)mwuing to the exact places in the river where they were 8)iawued and hatched and became minnows ; and. if they aro not disturbed on their natural spawning licds or grounds, they will deposit their spawn in the same, places along tho river wliero they were spawned four or five years previously. After sMWiiing, if they wish to heal up mill get well of tho sores on them which have occurred from tho snwn ing, they must retnrn to salt water to do so, because they cannot or do not heal np and get well in fresh water. The tail of the salmon is round and pigeon-like, whilo the tail of the Sil verside or Steelhead trout is flat, which shows them to he a different species of fish than the salmon. The Silversido or Steelhead trout havo different hubits than the salmon, viz., they sjmwii at a different time iu the year. The bulk siuiwn ia the tribu taries of tho Rogue river, while the salmon spawn in tho main stream. Tho Silversido or Steelhead spawn iu tho months of February aud March, and the bulk of them, which sjiawu, will live, heal np and get well in fresh water, and in the same kind of water iu which they spawned, which is not tho case with the sal mon. Ninety per cent of the salmon die Is'fnrn they get back to salt water from Jackson and Josephine counties. It is known that tho bulk of the Sil versido or Steelhead trout live after spawning aud heal np and get well in the waters of Rogue river and its tributaries, for the Silversido and Steelhead have been caught at all times in the year and iu all the different stages of the fish, viz., be fore they hud siawued and iu every stage and condition after they had siutwiied iu Rogue river and its tribu taries. Wo have fished in the Rogue river for from twenty six to forty years, anil have cntigt these Silverside and Sleelhiail trout. They are until ing but a large trout, and we now wish to say a few words in that re gard. The fish iu Regno river ill Jackson and Josephine counties are becoming extinct. Iu their natural propagation mid prolongating places along the Kogue river and its tributaries, dur ing the time iu the season when the fish are lying in the deep holes pre paring their uwiiing beds, and when spawning, they are caught with gill nets, sieiiK and gigs and si'-ars, and the fish sold iu the markets here as good food fish, w hich is preposterous, to say the least. The salmon, which are caught from their iiwniiig grounds and lu lls, are positively not fit for table use. But these salmon are caught in this condition, the tails cut off, then laid ill boughs, bleached out aud brought into the markets here and sold for gcxtd food fish. I wish that the giKsl people who purchase these fish could wo them when they are caught off their spawning grounds and U'ds. I am sure they would not touch them under any consideration whatever. Now this is how the Rogue river and its tributarii-a is being depopu lated of fish In Jackson and Josephine counties, vi.,. by catching them off their natural sjuwning grounds and bi ds, aud not allow ing them to de posit their MWU. I wish to say that if tills kind of business is allowed to be carried on much longer tho fish will be extinct; for if the people de sire fish along the river they must be allowed to sjatwn on their natural bed aud place. Theso spawning places are their natural homes, aud if they are cauiiht and their eggs taken and shipped away to the hatcheries on Rogue river and elsewhere, yon can readily see that there will be no fish to stop at or ou these spawning grounds and beds. You probably will aay, why is this? Becaaae the fish will always go back to the places where tiiev were batched and turned into the streams. In this case there would be the hatchery op the river at Klk crock or tho one at the mouth of the river ;and if you desiro any fish ing you would have to go to the hatchery ou Elk creek or tho one at the mouth of the river, which, we aro sure, yon would not want to do. Bnt this will be tho case if this business is allowed to go on as it lias for the last three years. Aud the worst feature of the whole affair is that at tho hatcheries ou Roguo river they catch the Silversido or Steelhead trout aud tako their eggs to tho East to populate some of the easteru fresh water streams, aud we get nothing in return iu other words, depopulate Rogue river and its tributaries to populate some easteru streams with our Rogue rivor Silversido or Steel head. Now, do you want to see this thing consummated? We think you do uot. If you do not, you must Bee to it, and that soon, that this kind of business is stopped, for this is just what is being done. We have no objection to their taking salmon eggs at the hatchery ou Rogue river, hutching them and turning tho minnows into tho river j bnt we do object to having the salmon or any other fish that in habit Rogue river taken off their natural spawning grounds along the river beteen tho hatcheries, more particularly that portion of tho river from tho Hume hatchery, at tho mouth of the river, and tho hatchery up tho rivor at Elk creek, aud their eggs transported to the hatcheries at tho month of the river and to tho one at Elk creek, or any other hatchery whatever, for tho reason that this will destroy and depopulate tho fish along the river In Josephine and Jack son counties on their natural spawning grounds and beds. If tho fish arc caught from these places and their eggs taken somewhere else and hatched, and turned into some other streams in different localities than that from which they were taken, it would de populate that portion of tho river from which the fish were taken. This we object to, as wo want fish all along Roguo river The fish must be ullow ed to deposit their spawn ou their na tural spawning grounds and beds to enable this tobo the case.

A Kansas editor recently gavo this advice to the young men of his town : "It cannot be denied that church services develop tho Is'st there is in man. - Church nl tendance suggests cleanliness In mind and in body a getting away from one's self, and where the conditions havo a tendency lo reverse the machine, to take one's self out of one's self and to a degree direct iu the channels of brotherly kindness and charity ; and wo havo of ten wondered why bright young men well-dressed and self-resiH'ctlng young men can loaf alsiut tho street corners all Sunday morning, while there are so niiiiiy empty scats in the churches. The greatest foreo today in the world is thechurch, and the young mail who loafs on the streets Sundays, sneers at Christianity, reviles the churches, while neglecting or refusing to intend church services shows a lack of something in his moral mako-np. Church iiittiiciicfS, church teachings, are uplifling; church services, when not tedious apsal to man's licit or na ture, while they are often entertaining and instructive. No young man in the tow n can offer a good reason for not attending ehitich services at least once a Sunday ; and when a young man bristles up at the incut ion of it, he xliould 1st reminded that he is uot half as brave ss he thinks he is '. r.x- change. HE SAID "NO." The gn at Young Men's Christian Association convention, recently held iu Itostoii, brought delegates from all parts of the world to testify to the value of the Christian religion as the highest rule td conduct for practical life. The following was told by one who hail traveled Mux) miles to attend the meet ing : "My father was a rancher on a small scale ill Australia. Ho was nil Eng lish cmigianl of sturdy yneinaii stock, and while the free life of a shepherd had taught him tolerance and kindness ho remained true ill principle to the si riot lessons of his early years. "The nearest neighbor or station was tell tulles uwiiv, but t he ranchmen used to think limbing of tilling SO or 1 1 miles ton centrally hsated farm on Sal unlay, to s lid the nigl.t in carousal, and ride buck on Sunday. Win n the men c'line together once a week in this way, drinking and gam bling seemed inevitable. At last it Was my father's turn to entertain. He must invite tho herders of the kraals and ranches within a radius of nearly Till miles. 'Hoys,' he said to his two sons, my brother nud myself it's the iirling of the ways. We either live us we have lived, simply in (he fear of (iod, minding our business, iniyingour debts if we can, saving our money if possible, and lsilig cut by every man around lu re, or fall iuto (he ways of our neighbors, ami drink aud gamble ourselves iuto is rditiou. I am not going to break your mother's heart, ami I say "No," even if they hnru us down. ' So It came about that my brother and I divided the cir cuit t'twein us, mull rode to tho north and he to the south. To every ranchman this message went :" Father invites yon for Saturday and Sunday is usual. There will bo no cards or liipmr ouly a ijuiet talk alsiut old England and the welfare of the colony". iac.tr. n. column! the house furnisher A Question For Today.
