Editorial Comment
Both Quoting Dr. Jordan.
"A few years ago," recalls the Bend
Bulletin, "the question which set
fishermen by the ears was that of the
Identity of the steelhead. Some said
It was a salmon, and some maintained
that It was a trout. It was settled
both ways, and fishermen quit argu
ing and resumed angling." Further
to identify the period. It may be
added that many anglers then sup
posed the sea -run trout or salmon
trout, to be another species than the
cutthroat. This also was a fruitful
source of disputation, and for that
matter you will yet discover here or
there a stubborn soul who remains
unconvinced. .
Twenty years ago, or something less
for It was when the patriot hue
and cry was raised against Dr. David
Starr Jordan, foremost of American
Ichthyologists the scientist who be
gat the confusion over the Identity
of the steelhead mildly confessed to
his fault while visiting in Portland.
In the heat of the times there were
those who were calling the kindly old
scholar an enemy of the republic,
friend of Germany, and demanding
that his degrees be revoked. The
evidences of his hurt were visibly
etched In the tired countenance. But
he and bis Interviewer, instead of
peaking of national and Interna
tional matters, fell to talking of fish
They drifted, you might say, into a
quiet backwater,
"Dr. Jordan," the reporter said
"some books classify the steelhead as a
salmon, while others call it a trout
a sea-run rainbow trout. The first
are the older reference works. The
latter are the newer ones. How did
this come about? And what Is the
steelhead?" Dr. Jordan smiled re
flectively. "Well. It Is truly a trout,
he answered, "and there la nobody
better able to explain the confusion
of Identification than I am. You
see, I wrote both references, the old
ones and the new. A scientist must
be of open mind. I took the priv
ilege of changing mine.' Oregon 1 an.

of the figures are adjusted for sea

cept those of April, which are pri
vately estimated.

Rhubarb Juice makes a pleasant
spring beverage when diluted and
sweetened to taste. It blends with
nearly all fruit Juices.
Alaska surpasses any other equal
area of the United States In the var
iety, extent and value of its mineral
resources.
PORTLAND (UP) Without refor
estation the vast stands of pine tim
ber in the western United States
would supply lumber for 150 years,
but with conservation methods used
at the time of cutting they will last
forever.
That. In substance. Is what the
Western Pine association attempts to
prove in & 24-page booklet designed
to show that pine areas are being
logged In a way that will provide a
stable yield in the future.
The association, which draws Its
members from pine loggers working
the territory from the Rocky moun
tains west to the Pacific and from
Canada to Mexico, has taken photo
graphs showing cut-over lands to
prove the point.
The forest management of the as
sociation has set up rules of practice
Including: selective logging, relent
less wsr on fire and Inspects; main
tenance of clear right of ways along
railroad tracks; slash burning only
under proper weather conditions and
preferably after the first snow: road
side conservation of beauty and seed
trees, protection of young trees dur
ing logging; no logging on ridge
crests as a measure of erosion con
trol and preservation of seed trees
In all forests.
Pictures In the booklet show that
while second growth timber Is grow
ing to maturity a third crop la being
seeded. It Is also shown by annualar
rings that selective logging results
in faster growth than Is possible In
primeval forests1.
Clyde S. Martin, forest engineer
for the association, pointed out that
trees and forests of trees have a life
expectantcy Just as do all living
things. He declared that by cutting
only mature trees and saying the
younger ones, and by that method
only, can forests be preserved for fut
ure generations.
