Thla marked Improvement in all probability will not be Immediate, however, according to H. L. Noblltt, secretary of the Rogue river commit tee of Jackson and Josephine counties and T. B. Daniels, chairman of the flan and game committee of the chamber of commerce. Those two authorities are agreed that It will pro bably be three or four years before the river again la properly stocked with eteelhead and aalmon. During the years that the fight for closure haa been carried on, the drain on the number of flch by the com mercial netting operations at the mouth of the river has been so heavy that at the present time the river haa become greatly depleted of those, vari eties, they pointed out. Noblltt also pointed out that It takes four yeara for eteelhead and salmon to complete their cyclo.

Some of these say they voted for him In 1928 and 1932, some against him, but have "come back" In the two years since he turn ed over the presidency to Franklin D. Roosevelt. They look to Mr. Hoover for counsel, and be spends much of his time giving tt. Many of these letters started pour ing In when hla book, 'The Challenge to Liberty, was first circulated last year. That book written, some thought, In professional language too obtrusive for the man In the street he wanted to reach (the "grass roots" aa he puts It) has aold more than 120,000 copies. He finds that grati fying. Mr. Hover Uvea In complete retire ment from public affairs, refraining In the main from criticism of the democratic administration and de-1 voting himself to the private affairs which take up every waking hour, when the former president la at borne 1 in Palo Alto. j Like thousands of others In this i part of the nation, he Is not alto- I gether satisfied with the way the "new deal" Is working out but be 1 feels It best to remain thoroughly In the background as far as public comment on tt la concerned, and still to give the president every chance to proceed with bis program of expert- mentation without heckling from the side lines. So the ex-president's household runs along much the same as any j successful r etlred business man's I home runs, except for the hundreds ' of leters dally. These averagea from 200 to 600 a day, and he keeps three girl stenog- raphers busy answering them. Nearly : all are answered, and the former pres ident spends his morning In service of those thousands who have faith In his leadership. Mr. Hoover keeps In touch with national affairs through the press and letters from friends. He has no confidential service out of Washing ton or other centers. But gets major papers lrom New York, Washington, Chicago, Kansas City and other points, and reads them carefully. The ex-presldent arises about 7:30 a. m. and takes a brisk 15 minute walk wltb either Pat, his German po lice dog, or faithful old Weejle, a Norwegian police dog. These dogs were bis constant companions In tho White House. i a. II , JAIL CELL LOOKS GOOD WHEN LIBERTY FORCED JERSEY CITT, N. J., March 8.
