B Oregon State PITA Trapshoot Underway Oregon State shoot of the Pacific International Trap shooting association got under way today at Mcdford Gun club. It will continue through Sunday. Gunners fired for the class championships this morning. The 16-yard shooting served also as the first half of the singles which will be com pleted with the second 100 targets Saturday morning. Woods, Water, Wildlife By Hank DaVois The salmon season in the Rogue river was thought to be off to a good start when it was reported that me snaggers were throwing back those fish that were foul hooked. This was observed and checked to be the case below Savage Rapids dam. H was reported with optimism and with the hope that this vear might be a little diner ent from the usual occurences of past years. As it turns out the only ditterence is in iecn nique, not in the intent. SNAGGERS? It isn't a simple matter to claisify all paopla who ak iiih illegally as greeay. initi seems to be quit a variaty of naggers and reasons for thalr being: The ihow-oH who lines to brag of his fishing prowess; the sly character who Minus he's really getting away with something In fooling me po lice! the greedy guy who will take meat any way he can get it; fhe profiteer who fig ures it's an easy way to make money; and the frustrated fisherman who ean'i resist temptation. Of course it must be admitted that any of the above described characters can be motivated for other reasons; there might even be a couple who snag because they have a hungry family. The trouble is that this is seldom the case. WHO'S IT? During the past week there have been five people ar rested by the state police In connection with eye-witness reports of snagging in the fish ladders on Savage Rapids dam. WHAT FOR There is a wall-btaten path down to the north-side fish ladder that Indicates heavy interest In the occupants of the ladder. The eye-witness accounts of the snagging ac livities tell of the openness . of the snaggeri who operate in broad daylight. They set their lookout, quickly snag several large fish, and are ' gone within a few minutes. A variety of gaffs and nets are the tools of this trade, and all are effective because of 3 Beit buy wa know for folks who want a factory-frtih, NtW Ty pes rayon tirt at a bargain prict features Coronado with a 13 month ROAD HAZARD GUAR ANTEE that coven ANY fail urt!

JUNE t. 1912 at Gun Club Here The doubles crown will be determined Saturday after noon. Firing for the handicap diadem is set for Sunday morning. Also being shot today was the Medford handicap and a 25-pair of doubles event. The Jim Morris Memorial handi cap will be fired Saturday afternoon. Shooters are expected from a number of western states the easy entry to the ladder. WHAT TO DO Whereas most snagging ac tivitles are carried on by so called fishermen who use reg ular fishing gear, this particu lar type of snagging is con fined to the fish ladder and could be controlled more eas ily because of it. It is esti mated that It took three offi cers 50 hours apiece to make the arrests reported. The lad der could be fenced and cov ered for a great deal less than the cost of maintaining that kind of protection. HOW TO Fishermen who are inter ested in protecting our migra tory fish while they are in the fish ladders might try writing the Oregon game com mission and asking whether or not it would be feasible to give the fish protection where ihey need it most. The officers now trying to main' tain a watch of the ladder could be used for ether duties like getting a few of the snaggers in the upper river. THE ANGLER'S LOG The frustration angle is a most probable reason for some of the snagging in the upper river this season. The salmon have been most un cooperative in that there are more salmon fishermen than ever before and yet the catch has been small. The run was thought to be small, but there are plenty of fish in the river. And the "sports" are twins hard to get their share. Diamond LlkfWnirin'r 4rt an hot, but it Is lettlnc warmer. A chsck of 16 fishermen on one day tallied 88 fish. A running average of 2.1 lish per fisherman indicates iianinn is oeuer man last year. The duri are gone.

More often than not he will answer that he isn't . fishing illegally. And it may be the truth that he actually doesn't know the difference. He might figure it out If It was explained io him every lime he started to snag salmon. Let's try It.
