EXTERMINATING THE TROUT.
I
F OUR local fishermen .would expend tuie-ientli (he
energy to. protect steelhetul that thev expend to pro
tect salmon throuuh legislation designed to cripplo the
operation of the canneries at the mouth of the Itoguo river
and give, the gulnctve; .1 :i monopoly of commercial itstniig,
we niight procure .sumo legislation that would protect the
trout during the spawning season. If such action is not
taken, the rapacious pot fisherman will in a few years suc
ceed in oxternrinatmy; the steel head- which he would have
acme before tins it it were not lor the good work ot the
hatcheries.
Two species of salmon ascend the-Uogue for spawning
the Chinook, and the silver or silverside. The oarlv or
spring run of Chinook enters the stream late in February
or March and continues sporadically uiftil niid-sununer.
wnen the late or tall run. averaging slightly smaller iish
begin the ascent to the spawning grounds. The silver
salmon enters the stream during the fail and early winter
months. The Chinook spawn in the autumn months and
the silver in the winter aud oarlv spring. :
Two species of trout are also native to the Kogue and
its tributaries the Mack-Spotted or Cutthroat and the
"Steelhead,. a sea-going variety of Kainbow. Chansres in
environment produce changes in appearance that confuse
the layman to whom all small fish arc usually "trout"
and larger ones "salmon." The schools of 8 to 10 inch
trout" that furnish spring sport for the angler are year
ling salmon drifting to the sea, where thoy disappear, re
turning trom two to live years later to spawn and die.
Both cutthroat and steelhead spawn in the av inter and
early spring months, the fonner remaining in the stream
and the latter derr-ding back to the sea, to return later in
the year..;:.. -. '
.": Oregon's game laws prevent the taking of trout under
lU-menes during the winter and spring months. Steel
heads 10 inches or under, are not old enough to spawn. It
is only the larger fish that spawn. Consequently there
is no protection, under the law to protect steelhead trout
the gamest and finest fighting fish in the world, when
taken at the proper season. The pot-fisher, with his bait
ot salmon eggs, mercilessly plies his slaughter. on river
bars and in small streams upon the spawning fish tho de
struction of each meaning the loss of hundreds of unborn
steelheads. ' . '
It is not only on grounds of conservation, preservation
and protection of fish,' that a ban should be placed upon
winter and early spring fishing, and a closed season es
tablished during the spawning period, but because gravid,
spawnuig and spawned put tish are, not lit to eat. .No- an
nial or fish iii the period of orejrnanev and birth is
fit food for humans. - All. the strength of the system has
gone into reproductioii4and the exhaustion of nature is so
compuete that it leaves . the . trout emaciated and weak,
while it kills the salnfou.
The trout protection law is a travesty on protection
and a satire upon the sportsmanshi) of those who" drafted
it. The only protection the steelhead has is the sporting
instinct of tho true sportsman, who refuses to participate
in the unnecessaiy .., extermination of fish unfit for food.
If our legislators are really interested in trout 'protec
tion,, let them put through a bill making the months f rorri
December to April a closed season for all trout.

Do Yoii Want to Know Both Sides?
Swift & Company's 1919 Year Book, just out, tells you
, . What Swift & Company's profit were in 1918,
The truth about the Federal Trade Commiion'
, investigation,
Why the prices of butter and eggs are so high,
And many other vital facts.
Whether or not you agree with ua after reading this Year Book,
you will at least know both sides.
You will find it interesting; Americans like to hear about big
things done in a big way.
You will also discover that we are merely human beings like
yourself, dbing in the best possible way a necessary service.
Legislation is pending in Washington; as a good American
citizen you want to know both sides of this question. It concerns
you, as well as one of the most important industries in the country.
Do not hesitate to send for a copy of this booklet. Your name
and address are all we need. '.. , .
