C. - IUPH - j Long - hitting Mickey Wright held the favorite's position in the opening round today of j the Peach Blossom Open, but hometown heroine Betsy Rawls refused to be written I off. Anyone who is willing to make general statements aboRt commercial fishing when he knows very little about it should be willing to accept any verbal lashing that results from it. The letter from Mr. Cellars of the Co lumbia River Salmon & Tuna Packers association was an unexpected rebuttal to the article on the petition to make steelhead a gamefish, but it was welcome in that it dem onstrates how easy it is to use statistics for whatever end you choose. BUT YOU SAID . . . There are three species of salmonoids that consist the major part of the commercial fishery in the Columbia river during the summer months. These are the Chinook and blueback (sockeye) salmon, and the summer steelhead. The chinook average about 16 to 20 pounds, the blueback average 4 to 6 pounds and the summer steelhead aver age about 6 to 8 pounds. When Mr. Cellars says, "The Colum bia river steelhead is the big gest of all known steelhead species on the Pacific coast", he is talking about how big they can get, not how big most of them are. However, even the record book would show how wrong he is in thinking that the Columbia river steelhead is the largest. Bigger fish are elsewhere, AND HE SAID . . . I was leading with my chin when I said, "Any commer cial fisherman who catches steelhead when he is fishing for salmon should not be in the business." It would have been more accurate to say that any commercial fisher man who catches more steel head than salmon when he's after salmon should not be in the business. Mr. Collars was right to lake me to task for making such a general south ern Oregon statement. YEAH BUT . . . All of the facts regarding which fish, where, and at what size were taken from the reports of the Oregon fish commission. It is somewhat understandable that Mr. Cel lars has disregarded the find ings compiled by that agency which is maintained for the continuance of the commer cial fishery. He will use those figures that support his point of view and I wil use those that support mine. To do oth erwise would be less under standable. AND SO . . . The crux of the prjlcm is that there is more and more pressure on the steelhead fish eries of all the streams on the west coast. This pressure is caused by the tremendous growth in the number, of anglers who want to catch a steelhead. Protection for the resource is necessary, and it must come now while we still have enough of the resource left to work with. To wait might make the job too ex pensive and complicated. The Columbia river steelhead re source is in need of this pro tection because to split the run between the commercial nets and the sports anglers will not allow it to survive. BECAUSE . . . To believe that the steel head should be caught com mercially because they are being caught commercially is the kind of reasoning that would have the market hunt ers still killing our deer and waterfowl. The history of conservation in this country is that when a resource is threatened by whatever cause, one of the first regulatory measures has been to slop the commercial exploitation of that resource. Steelhead are providing a living for the commercial fishermen who catch rrore steelhead than salmon. But this is not enough reason to allow steelhead to be caught by commercial fish ermen. This fish is worth far more to the state of Oregon when it is sought by the sports angler as a means of recreation. (Or whatever.) THE ANGLER'S LOG The weather being what it has been the past few days, not much can be expected from the local anglers except a few weak, half-frozen alibis. Some fish are being caught, but the urge to keep trying for a limit is showing signs of a steady weakening. It's too bad that the snow and rain are more of a cause of this than a feeling of conservation. Longest league softball sea son for this area since lighted facilities have been used will begin on May 15. That is the date for the two opening games of the 1962 Jackson County Softball as sociation slate. The season will run until Sept. 4, or pos sibly Sept. 5.

We'd like to have a nickel for every time our competitors tell a motor prospect that "a Merc's great for rac ing .. . but it won't hold up." When you stop to think about it, this is the nuttiest thing anyone could say. If a Merc's ereat for racing, it's got to hold up. Mercurys do win more outboard races than any other motor. But, what kind of races do they win? Races that prove fridurance. Races like the Mis?sippi Marathon 106S miles at full throttle. Just as stock cari are rused on ie race tracks, so are Mercs prorl in the gruelir marathons. But, this is just a normal Jay's work for a Mercury atOur test Ponler?it Lake X, Florida.

The slide-rule boys will tell you this is equal to 30 years of average boating! We're proud of our racing record. It proves the guts of our engine . . . and our engineering.

Use of a lighted field began here in 1938, when lights were made available at the senior high football field through efforts of softball leaguers. Some twilight league ball was contested before that time as early as April. The league here operated as a twilight association one year in the late 1950s.
