NOTHING tells more clearly the tale of the extermina
tion of fish of all kinds in the Roinie river than the
records of the government fish hatchery at Elk creek. Last '
year the take ot chmook eggs at the natencry dropped to
600,000 eggs, while the stcclhcad (rainbow) trout eggs
dropped to 28,800. This year the spring take will be lav j
below. ' i

l"Vi j.vfhv. Auiu iiaii .L i v,,vv in v-nuuuvoiwv.i) ... v.a..
tiou of business men and citizens of southern Oregon, have
circulated and filed with the secretary ot state an initia
tive bill, appealing to the people of Oregon at the next
general election to close the stream to seiners and uetters.
For years past salmon fishing has been carried on with
nets and seines. In recent years trout also have been
seined. Runs are yearly diminishing, the hatchery has
been unable to take sufficient eggs to replenish the supply
and a continuation of present conditions threatens eom
jriete extermination.
Seiners and uetters so thoroughly drag the stream that
few fish reach spawning ground. Fishermen enjoy the
longest open season of any stream on the coast, and have
successfully thwarted efforts of the master fish warden
to prevent extermination by shortening the season. They
have ruthlessly and flagrantly violated state laws, fishing
during the closed season under the toes of dams, and giv
ing officers much trouble. They have used nets as small
as one inch mesh for the purpose of gathering trout with
salmon. Many of these fishermen are non-residents, whoj Luth'or Buck
come annually to prey upon the tisn.
One of the runs of fish that come into the Rogue is the
stnnllipnri f rainbow") trout. Until recent veais it was not! owed him

ed for this purpose. This trout takes a fly, and is the gam
est of fish.
Formerly the Rogue was known as the best fishing
stream in the northwest. Farmers had no difficulty in
taking a winter's supply for home use. They cannot do
so now, as they are all seined and shipped by commercial
fishermen, who have multiplied in recent years.
The Rogue is a small and unnavigable stream, unfit
for commercial fishing. One of the chief attractions of the
Rogue river country, which is attracting thousands of
tourists, will be fishing with hook and line, if it can be re
stored to its former plentitude. Unless seining and netting
is stopped and natural conditions restored, there will soon
be no fishing of any kind in Rogue river. Everyone in Ore
gon should vote for this measure.

tho expectation that they can do
