of the Rogue river question and the
fishway case at Celilo Falls, were be
fore state meetings of the Oregon
Game Protective .association and the

said, will be given to the question ol
stream pollution and Its relation to
fish life, and the controversy over the

come In for discussion. The sports
men will ask. probably by resolution,
that the Downs case at Celilo Falls,
In which the circuit court for Wasco

right to take fish from an artificial
fishway. he appealed to the state su
preme court.
Ao Ask Intervention.
In the Rogue river coffer dam cose,

between Gold Ray dam and Gold Hill,
the organizations propose to ask the
state game commission to lntervent

suit for the purpose of getting a i u
preme court ruling on the ownership
of the bed of the stream.
This case. It Is explained. Is a con
troversy between private owners who
have acquired land along the stream
and miners who have built wing
dams In the river, with the result. ;t
is said, that favorite fishing points
have been ruined. It Is claimed for
the private land owners that they
extended the privilege to the
public of going upon Ihclr land to
fish and have posiea notics w mat
