History of the Republican party in Oregon is in a
good way to repeat with the filing of Earl Snell and
Governor Sprague for the governorship. Way back
45 years ago, the political war between Senator John
H. Mitchell and Harvey H. Scott resulted in the state
losing the great mind of Scott in the United States
senate. Several years later factional fights resulted
in the election of George H. Chamberlain, democrat,
as governor by the small statewide margin of 256
votes over W. J. Furnish. A republican faction op
posed to Furnish in the primaries, sulked in their
tents and gave the political power to the democrats
through Chamberlain who served as governor and
United States senator for nearly a quarter of a cen-
tury.
Such instances have occurred in lesser degree in
republican ranks since that time, and four years ago
a row in democratic ranks resulted in the defeat of
General Martin.
Now we have two men high in republican ranks.
By usual routine any governor who has served well
is conceded the right to succeed himself, and Gov
ernor Sprague is admitted to have brains and execu
tive ability. Reports have it that he is not an astute
politician, which is not much against a good servant
with the usual voter. Earl Snell is likewise a good
official and has served the state well for two terms
as secretary of state but under the law cannot suc
ceed himself.
Together, united, they make a strong team for the
party in the state, but divided they may cause its de
feat. It was hoped that Snell would finally become
the congressman from Eastern Oregon, but he seems
to fear defeat from Pierce under present conditions.
The friction between Governor Sprague and Snell
is just too bad for the party they both represent. If
Snell does not want to wait two years or even four
( he is both young and virile and would not lose pres
tige), then the state republican committee should go
to Salem and make an honorable peace. While pol
itics have been for the time being largely eliminated
because of the war, good clean leaders are well
worth preserving and strengthening. Such leader
ship will be needed for the years to come.

It does not require an expert to
catch salmon on the Columbia, it is
pointed out by the Oregon State
Highway commission. The Pacific
salmon rarely feed, if ever, after
entering fresh water on their way
to the spawning grounds after three
years at sea, but he will strike a
spinner or wobbler.
These are
trolled from boats, and it’s largely
luck which determines who hooks
into the biggest fish.
But while he does not eat in fresh
water King Chinook is vicious and
mean. Anything which he believes
may thwart his determined trek to
the gravel bar where he himself was
spawned angers him thoroughly and
he will fight it with all his fury. And
once hooked he is far from beaten.
With amazing strength and tenacity
he will fight until he is half drowned
before he can be brought to gaff.
Salmon fishing is almost a year
around sport in Oregon streams.
Running in different streams at dif
ferent times the silver horde is in
the rivers from February until the
winter freshets in December. Some
where there is nearly always good
salmon fishing to be found in one or
more Oregon rivers.
The Columbia river’s commercial
salmon industry amounts to around
$10,000,000 a year. From it comes
the world’s finest canned and
smoked salmon. By law, nets are
removed from the river from August
25 to September 10 each year, and
during this period the sports fisher
men have their field day at the mouth
of the river where great schools of
the fish congregate.

Both motorists and nédestr ars
are to blame for the high pedes-

Safety committee states.
Twenty-
six pedestrian deaths accounted for
a fourth of the state’s June traffic
death toll. “When blinded by ap
proaching lights, motorists must
slow down," the committee's state
ment said. "There is no excuse for
maintaining speed when visibility is
seriously reduced. Pedestrians share
the blame when they fail to walk on
the left side of the highway as re
quired by law. Three-fourths of all
pedestrian deaths occur between 5
p. m. and 1 a. m. By concentrating
upon the factors known to contrib
ute to such night fatalities, it should
be possible to reduce the death toll."
