By Ernest Hostel and dick ure on In their argument before the game committee of tho legislature, tho commercial fishermen of, the Itogue Htatcd that dams, Irrigation ditches and sewage are cau.Hlnj? the loss of neiv run fish in tho Kogue river. To this argument, they, are referred to ithe Illinois river, . a tributary ot .the Rogue-, flowing into it nt Agnes, a few miles from the point where the stream enters tho ocean. ? The country the Illinois drains Is rough nnd mountainous, tho soil Is shallow, with bedrock only a few feet below tho surface, so the water drains very fast. During the Umo of the first heavy rains in tho full until after tho spring run-off, the Illinois Is a largo and, at most times, larger than Jtoguo river. For instance, last week tho Illi nois was flowing moro water than Rogue river on January 17th, on Thursday and Friday It raised ten feet nbovo tho January 17th level, duo to rains, while tho Rogue did not rise noticeably and only traces of rain fell on the 'Koguo water shed. iFrom this one enn hoc the Illinois has frequent freshets, and it is on thoeo tho sea run fish nro most apt to migrate for it Is the Ideal stream for salmon and stool head, with long, deep holes and fast, narrow riffles. Hundreds of small stream of Ico-cold, clear water enter it from both sides, which form breeding grounds for spawning fish. There nre positively no dams of any sort on this river, no power projects of any kind, so we elim inate one of the commercial fish ermen s arguments. Now for stream pollution: There arc fewer than BOO residents on this river and its tributaries. There are no towns nnd very few farms, tho principal occupation is gold mining, and this is carried on In tho upper reaches so high It docs no damage to fish life. The irrigation ditcher are so few that In tho 19 miles of river from Set ma to Oak Flat, there ore only three ditches and tho water In two of these is used from mountain streams so high tip that fish could hardly bo In them. Thin water Is used only for mining. The other ditch Is used far irrigating u gar den and is taken from Deer creek. Nineteen miles of mountainous forest rond Is tho only 0110 that follows the river for any distance, with the exception of a few miles nf the Oregon .('uvea road that fol lows only ono fork of tho Illinois. Still old timers ut this river state that fish life Is il Ion p pen ring from litis stream. I happened on one native, a man past 60 years, fish ing tine day. His tackle consisted if a fif pole ten feet long and an Inch and a half In diameter on tho butt end and tapered out to half an Inch. To this he had fustened about l" feet of line, merely tied lo the end. No reel or such both ered him. Ho si unit led on his hauncho. the hook baited with salmon eggs, not quite reaching to the bottom of a deep eddy, "Any luck?" I asked. "Nope, but 1 caught n good utoel head yesterday, a dandy; flopped him In here on the bank Just about where you stand: weighed ten pounds, and still had sea lice op two fins." 1 Further Inquiry revealed that in yenrs gone by he didn't Imvo to wait for them to bite. Must took my pole, tied on a pair of triple hooks, drug it through the Water nnd snagged a fish every time. They used to be in here Just tA' th'ek. Never fished nvnr hiiifV?.- I n " - .
