Yamhill county is figuring on a

Something good will come from the

AN OUTRAGEOUS PROPOSITION.
So far the Oregon legislature has
shown no disposition to injure anv Ore-
gon industries by radical or freak legis

however, attacking the fish industry on
the Rogue river. The motive behind
this hill seems to he the whim of a few
"sportsmen” w ho wish commercial fish
ing killed on the Rogue river to insure
t hem belter sport a few days in the
year.
We will make no attempt to argue the
merits of injuring a great industry for
the benefit of a few rod and gun clubs
and to-called “ sports.” The motive
alone is enough to kill it.

that it should he given a scant heed.
To hamper or kill an Oregon industry
