PROSPEROUS YEAR
J
OF
T
MISSIONARY FIELD
"It has been a prosperous year for
the fishermen at tch mouth of Rogue
river." states Goorce Putnam, who
has returned from a trip to Gold
' Boa.cn and Weddorburn. "The Mac
leay cannery has packed 8000 and
the Seaborc cannery, 3000 cases of
salmon. The pack is not yet com
plete and Indications promise the lar
gest pack since the days when Humo
operated the cannery when the pack
Used to reach 18,000 cases.
"It was closed season while I was
at Gold Beach and I had a good
chance to talk over the fishermen's
war with members of both factions,
as well as Game Warden Jewell and
Jlr. Smith of Oregon City, the gov
ernor's special agent. The clash orlg:
inated between the Macleay interests,
owning tho large cannery and the
seining grounds and the efforts of the
rival Senborg cannery to establish
Itself. To this is added tho rivalry
hotween the gill nottcrs, who seek
the abolition of seining so that -they
maw havo a monopoly of fishing, and
the seiners', who take the fish cheap
er.' '':",
Price IiiM for FIhIi.
"Tho cannery Is paying $1.50 for
salmon as against 25 cents paid by
Hume, who made a fancy profit, ti
years gone by, and during the present
season but 25 per cent of tho pack
has been taken by the seines. V6re
it not for the cheaper cost of taking
the fish by seining, states Mr. Mac
leay, the cannery could not sell Its
output In competition with AlaBlia
packers, where the cost of a fish tak
en by mechanical contrivance barred
in the Rogue 1b but a few cents, or

WASHINGTON', Sept. 7. .Japan
will not inform the I'nileJ States of
her now demands on China unless in
formation is specifically requested.
Jnnnnese officials bore said today
it was their belief that American
rights neither were violated nor con
cerned and that Japan was under no
niovc.oliligutum to discuss mo ncgoii
ntions with this government than the
United States was under obligation to
discuss the Mexican situation with
Japan. It was intimated, however,
that information would bo forthcom
ing, if requested, at Tokio.
State department officials say their
information still is too incomplete to
allow them to form any decision.
The demands as published are
thought to admit of wide variance of
interpretation.
Heports today tell of more disturb
ances in inner Mongolia, caused bv a
recrudescence of banditry, together
with an imperialist movement in con
junction with the unsuccessful smitli-
orn republic revolution.
LONDON, SopL. 7. According to
definite information reaching Hume,
Switzerland, from Germany, says a
dispatch to the Wireless Press, Dr.
Von Dethinann-llollweg, tho Gorman
Imperial chancollor, upon being ques
tioned at the AugiiBt meeting of the
federal council as to why ho yielded
to the demands ot the United States
regarding the unrestricted torpedoing
of ships on the high seas, replied em
phatically that the value ot tho buIk
marine was exaggerated by adherents
of wholesale torpedoing.
The chancellor said that insistence
on an unrestricted submarine war
fare would cause war between Gor-
niiiny and the United States and that
tho results of unlimited torpedoing
would not justify such a policy.
Elaborating on this point the chan
cellor is quotod as saying that Ger
many could not effectively blockado
England, nor cut off England's food
supply.

tice's court for illegal fishing is im
possible, tho Justice openly .espousing
the. cause of tho poachers. Hence
the governor's special agent brought
his canes before the grand Jury and
secured eleven Indictments for viola

which indicates whether or not the
laws are enforced.
"During tho closed season, the
Macleay cannery is closed, but the
Seaburg cannery operated on "fish
caught trolling," though there were
not nioro than a half a dozen salmon
caught In any one day by trolling
during my visit. The inference is,
that the fish are being illegally taken.
The law should bo amended to com
pel canneries to close during tlie clos
ed season to destroy tho Incontlvo
for law violations.
River Mouth Narrow.
"Tlie mouth of the Rogue Is very
nnrrow, for probably 200 yards not
over 100 yards wide at low tide.
The steelhead do not rise to a fly un
til some distance above tide water. I
am satisfied, however, that if a sys
tematic trial of the various parts of
the river are made, stoolhead could
be located In their loafing places and
taken with tho fly. Also I believe
that later In the season the sllverslde
salmon could be taken at the mouth
and in the Biirf with the fly.
"The Macleay estate which pur
chased the Hume interests, is doing
much more for the development of
the country than the Hume Intorests
ever did. They own a large acreage
of land, but nine-tenths of It is worth
less, bare hillsides or brush and scrub
timber. They operate two first class
general morchandlBO stores, one at
Weddorburn and one nt Gold Beach.
They sell at reasonable prices, and
purchase the farm and stock pro
ducts of the country, thus giving the
farmer a market which he has never
had before. They operate an up-to-
Through this narrow channel the cur- date creamery and turn out a fine
rent is very swift. The river then
widens out In the form of a bay.. One
of the Kclning grounds Is near the
river's mouth and gill notters have
been fishing across it and into the
surf. These operations have kept
many ot the fish from entering the
stream; seeing the nets, caused the
fish to turn back. The establishment
ot the dend Hive, 1700 feet from the
mouth, will eliminate this source of
friction and benefit upper river fish
ing. This dead line is to bo estab
lished by the close of this month.
It will eliminate one seining ground,
two set net locations and many gill
nctters. "Across the mouth of the stream
all day long while I was there, was a
veritable bridge of fishing boats, an
chored so closely together that they
touched each other. Each boat had
out trolling lines and spoons, which
the current kept turning, while a
boat from the Seaborg cannery made
trips to take the fiBh caught. Few of
the fishermen had any tackle at all.
Just a heavy line and spoon, and when
a salmon was hooked. Just pulled him
