A lready th ere is a bit of historj concerning the idea. D uring .h< last session a m em ber of the game com m ission had a bill w ritter which would have given an ease ment along all strea m s in the sta^c for fisherm en w ith the provision th a t the gam e com m ission woulc ma t<ain stiles or g ates w hen needed. It was not introduced becaus« fa rm e r m em bers objected so stren uously th a t it seemed useless. Like all questions .here are twi sides to this one. The argum en for the sportsm en is th a t no one eith er priv.i.e land oWner or pri v a t. c lu . should he allow ed to sew up a natu ral resource such as Ash ing fo r their own benefit. All who buy licenses contribute toM ie sup ply of fish and all, w hether rich or poor, should be perm itted to angle for them . Rich men, m any from C alifornia, aTe buying land along fi-hing stream s and closing it t< the public and m any of O regon’? best riv ers are now p a rtia lly clos ed tby th is m eans. T his is a bad situ atio n in a s ta te «.hat draw? m any to u rists because o f the ex cellence of its fishing. The arg u m e n t of .he fa rm e rs is th a f m any fisherm en a re careles? and do leave g ates open; th a t the? own th e ir land and do n o t wart and can n o t afford to have peoph ru n n in g over crops w ith abandon T here is m iddle ground on whicl these two «ides can m eet. Where it is can only be dtf.erm ined by discussions such a s the one held by the club. On strea m s like the D eschutes, especially in its lowei reaches, the conditions a re differ ed . th an on stre a m s along which tlKrts are farm s, b erry patches an< farm steads. The arg u m e n t between farm er? and fisherm en has been going o r ever since land was owned p riv a te ly and it will not be s e a le d easily nor by giving e ith e r side too much au th o rity th a t m ay be used .0 ham per the other. LABOR BILL O regon’s labor bill is on its way. It has stood .he first test in the circuit courts and will now be appealed to the s ta te suprem e co u rt from w here it will probably go to the federal suprem e court. T here was little su rp rise at th< decision o f the th re e judges chos en to h ear the case which is indi cative th a t O regon people are now more in favor of the law than when it was passed last Novem ber. Only a few labor leaders wailed loudly when the opinion was handed down. It is undoubtedly tru e th a t the law has prevented labor d istu rb ances in this sta te durin g the m onths it has been effect. Its passage, combined w ith th e ja il ing of some of the racketeers, has brought a h alt to a p articu larly violent sort of crim e th a t re s u lt ed w hin a sm all group of men tried to enforce th e ir rulings. Labor was so sure the law would be declared unconstitutional th a t it would not perm it any amend m ents at the last legislative ses sior- and those who favored the bill were not anxious to m ake any in a law th a t had been so recently passed. For th a t reason the p art of the bill th a t is disadvantageous to small groups of laboring men th at are w orking in a p lan t w ith la rg e r groups was not changed. As tim e goes on there will be nec essity for am endm ent as th ere Is to oth er laws b u t thè principle of the bill, th a t the sta te has a u th o r ity to re g u la te some fo rm s of picketing, will undoubtedly re m ain. OUR WHEAT CROP G eneral-optim ism prevails about the- w heat crop th a t is b ein g h a r vested in the county. A s cu ttin g moves fa rth e r south the .yields are not so larg e as ea rlie r when the m ore productive north end w as the only section being harvested, but they are so much b e tte r than th e jg h i possible a m onth ago or two m onths ago th a t it is alm ost unbelievable. Kain« of la s? year th a t went* in to the ¿summer fallow had m uch to do w ith the generous yields. W( have learned th a t deep soil m oisture is alm ost necessary to good crops. Yet, even th a t would have been of no avail had n o t the w e ath er rem ained cool and the prevailing wind come from the anew covered Cascade range. A boriginal people had nam es for the different -w in d s 'a n d often prey-id to them as being am ong th eir gods. We have g d tten over th a t custom , yet re ta in an abiding respect for the cool wind th a t m ade a good w heat crop possible w ithout the- aid ' of rain enough to more than lay the dust.
