That the finest trout-iuiRlinj; wat
ers iu the world nro beiiiR ruined by
the maintenance! of the Anient dum
on Uoruo river, and that the dnm is
brine maintained solely in the inter
ests of the Grants Pass commercial
fishermen, is tho opinion of J. V.
Hayes, who recently returned from
an unsuccessful fishing trip up the
Kofrue river, says the News. Mr.
Hayes is now circulating an initi
ative and referendum petition, ask
ing for tho passage of a law which
will closo tho Itoguo to any but hook
and' lino angling.
"T fioYin.l T?rtfnin wrnr ilintNilttptill
from Trail creek down to the Jack
son place, a distance of about ten
soiles," said Mr. Hayes, "and I didn't
catch a singlo fish of any size ex
eept one mountain trout weighing
about a pound nnd a half. Tlieso
trout nevor go to the sea, like the
salmon trout, which go down in the
spring to meet the salmon nnd then
eome back with them. There have
been practically no big trout iu the
river for tho past threo seasons.
They get below the Anient dam and
can't get back. There they stay with
tho new run of fish. While the wa
ter was high a few could get over,
but now it is impossible for them to
stake it, and thoy are crowded to
gether below the dam, striving to
pass the barrier, only to be hurled
back by tho torrent that pours
tirough tho break in the dam. This
leaves them an easy prey to the
seme fishermen. Unless something
is done to alter the present condi
tions, there won't be a fish left in
the river worth catching inside of
three years. Even now fishermen
are keeping fish that are smaller
than tho law allows, because they
cannot catch any that are larger.
"If the fish wardens would pay us
such attention to the big evils as
they do to some rancher's little irri
gation ditch, there would be no luck
of fish iu Rogue river. As it is
bow, there are no fish of any size to
enter the irrigation ditches.
'Tt looks as though the Ament dam
iras actually being maintained in the
interests of the Grants Pass com
mercial fishermen, who, of course,
are making a nice business of net
ting and shipping tons of the finest i
fish that swim. About 1000 pounds
of steel bars were driven in the bot-
SALKM, Or., June 18. Since Jay
Bowormnn became- acting governor
of Oregon no stato in tho uuiou, per
haps, has n trio of ns young men in
tho most important departments of
its administrative branch as docs
this state. Tho now acting governor
is 33 years; Secretary C. N. McAr
thur, the personal representative of
Governor Benson, was 31 years old
tho other day, while H. n. Corey,
who is chief clerk in the offices of
tho secretary of stato and has full
charge of that office, is but 33 years
old.
Eastern Oregon never boforo was
so well represented in the oxecutivo
department, -ur. coreys noine is
Baker City, while the new acting
governor lives at Condon. C. N.
McArthur. whoso homo is in Port
land, is Western Oregon's solo rep
resentative in the administrative of
fices. It is new blood nnd an ng-
gressivo combination aud upon which
the only restraint of a maturer mind
is tho conservative influence winch
might be exerted upon occasion by
Treasurer of State George A. Steel.
Mr. Corey, of tho secretary of
state's office, and Acting Governor
Bowcromn fought together in the
Philippines. Each uttuiued the rank
of sergeant and were tntached to
Battery B, light artillery, of the Sec
ond regiment of Oregon Volunteers.
Mr. Corey was chief of tho second
division nnd Mr. Bowermau was
chief of the fourth scctiou. Mr.
Corey is conceded to be one of the
most efficient nnd most competent
officials iu the state's service at this
time, and though older than the
other two of the incomparable trio,
looks to be the younger. All are bin-
men. none weighing less thau 190
pounds.
Though having been iu office but
two days and part of another, the
new acting governor shows au adapt
ability for tho job. He has been in
office long enough to be besieged
with the usual seekers after pardons
and after office. In fact, he has al
ready granted a pardon or two, par
tially investigated nnd recommended
by Governor Benson. Applications
have been numerous for the position
of master fish warden since the an
nouncement was made Thursday that
II. C. McAllister would nrobnblv re
sign.

WASHINGTON, 1). C, June 18.--Spenker
Cannon replied fiorcoly
from tho floor of tho house today to
the speeches of tho insurgents made
during the debntc on rules reform
yesterday.
"When my time comes I would
rather pass from the house thnn bond
my knee before demagogues and self
constituted righteous membors of
this house who criticise tho speak
er," Cannon said. "Some of the
members attacking the speaker would
not know tho rules if they s' them
coming down tho street."
Cannon denied that ho had uver
smothered legislation.
TJie first action of tho house un
der the rulo adopted yesterday giv
ing tho house power on which com
mittees had failed to report was used
to call up a bill cutting Democratic
representation in Southern states.
Bennett (Rep., N. Y.) introduced the
resolution discharging tho commit
tee. Tho Democrats yesterday voted
for the reform resolution.

cuit court for Wheeler county. After
those cases have been disposed of he
will return to Salem and resume his
official duties here and will remain
here until Governor Benson returns
in July.
Mr. Bowerman became covprnor
by fish wardens last year. In two
weeks they had all been taken out.
No one but seine fishermen would
have done this. Pieces of seines
have been found on these bars when
they havo been allowed to remain
in the river for a time. Tho fish
ways that have been placed at the
dam havo been jokes. They have
been altogether inadequate to ac
eommodato the millions of fish that
seek to pass the dam.
"It is no wonder that violence has
teen talked of as a method of solv
ing the problem. If over a nuisance
was maintained with no excuse but
loggishness, it is the Amenl dam."
PARR DISAPPOINTED WITH
FEE OF ONLY $100,000
WASHINGTON, D. C, June 18.
Following consideration by the cab
inet it is believed today that Richard
Parr will receive $100,000 for aiding
the government and exposing the
sugar frauds. Unless a special ap
propriation is made by congress,
Parr will .bo paid on the installment
plan.
Parr, who is a deputy customs col
lector, expressed keen disappoint
ment when ho was informed of the
government's probable action.
"I expected nt least 35 per cent of
the amount I saved the government,-'
ho said. "That would amount to
about $800,000."
