The canneries at the mouth of the stream are putting up good salmon packs. The angler reasons tlmt if they can get fish, why can't he I They must be to blame. Therefore he will ut the canneries out of business to make better sport for himself. So he fishes in summer and legislates in winter. Finding it impossible to carry out his desires, he de cides to take a whtick at the camierv, anywav, as the cause of his poor luck. It represents capital always in Oregon a lair subject to bait. .1 his year he has tormed a conibina tioii with the irresponsible, predatory gilluetter and intro duces a bill to give the latter a monopoly of fishing. On behalf of the gilluetter, it can be said that the sein ing grounds are owned by the cheek upon extortion. With regulate the price to be paid the canncrv has is to close down -and the nettei's move to some . ther river. As it is, they make from 1000 to $2000 tor lour mouths work. On behalf of the cannery, it is argued that it is barred from I he use of fish wheels, traps and other cheap methods ol taking Jisli, utilized on other streams with whom Ihev have to compete in selling their fish; they are barred from taking si eel heads, a source of revenue in other streams; that the margin ol prolit is small and that lurther restric tions will make it unprofitable to operate; that seining does not begin uiilil July 1 ."3, when the spring and summer run of sleelhead that furnish tint angler sport have already passed up tlie stream, and mat: out lew stecinead come in during the seining season, which are restored to. the stream, and that the total number bruised or lost is infin itismal. To offset the salmon taken, large hatcheries are maintained. On behalf of lie angler, are bruised iu the nets and taking tish commercially benehts the sportsman. Jt is admitted bv all that past fish of all kinds were although there were few restrictions, and those imposed lor propagation, by the canneries themselves; that Com niercial fishing was practiced it is also admitted that, there age in cut-fhroat, trout, which do not go down to the sea and are not a commercial fish, and never taken in seines or nets, as there is in steelheads. ' It must In; apparent, then, tlmt with increased restric tions at the mouth ol'.the stream, 1 hat with the taking of steelheads commercially barred, with the Josephine county salmon season cut to sixty days from 120 days, with no commercial fishing in Jackson .county, with hatchery work doubled, there must be some other reason than the commercial fishermen for the shortage of fish and this must be conditions along the river itself. Examination bears this out. Thanks to the auto and the tourist, the number of anglers lias greatly increased, but this does not alone account for the depletion. It is found in the progress of irrigation. The number of irriga tion ditches from the L'ogue and its tributaries lias in creased from a score fifteen veal's ago to over 950. In Jackson county alone, the county water master states, there are 17"), excluding iiig Uutte and several other tribu taries. Only half a dozen of these ditches are screened, and each is destroying fish fry some of the larger ones, each more than a hatchery can turn out. Further restrictions tm commercial fishing may cripple the, cannery, it will not materially improve angling in the upper river. It will not restore' the thousands of young fish annually dying iu alfalfa fields and orchards, ft can not make for belter cut-throat fishing. This can only be accomplished by screening the ditches. .If our anglers, instead of spending all their money and energy in futile efforts to protect the adult fish, would show the same enthusiasm in protecting the fry the big fish would take care of t liemselves. lint hunting the grail is great winter sport.
