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 WESTKKN KDITOU'S ADVICE
TO YOUNG MEN.
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,
