Dams, muddy water, stream pollution, de pleted forests, pilchards, and even sportsmen with hook and line have been blamed. Most pronounced of the critics are the Astoria fishermen, who, living on the fat of the sea, are always pointing the accusing finger upstream. It was the Astoria fishermen who succeeded in wiping the occasional up-river fish wheels out of existence, while their purse seines and gill nets scooped up the passing fish by the million. It was the Astoria fishermen who have damned the dams because they would restrict the travel of migrating fish and grind up the fingerlings in their turbines. And it is the Astoria fishermen who have operated trollers off the coast, and placed a barricade of nets across the river’s mouth to almost prohibit any fish from passing up stream. They have been powerful political influenc es—these Astoria fishermen, who also try to prohibit fishing above tide water, but who come up themselves to try to ensnare what few salmon manage to escape their ingenious devices and get part way upstream. Now it is the Astoria fisherman, who, with mystery in their voices are asking. ‘What has become of the salmon?’’ Blah! CASCADE LOCKS—THE EXAMPLE The town of Cascade Locks, which the Hood River Sun has been pointing to as an example of progressive spirit with its group of wide-awake citizens who are always op portunists, has come in for some favorable comment from another Mid-Columbia city. The Dalles Optimist last week had the fol lowing to say for Cascade Locks "Just recently the lively little town of Cas cade Locks qualified for some front page publicity when it was the first northwest community to buy power from Bonneville. While other towns down in the Willamette valley were being warned that they'd burn their fingers if they played with power, and while older and more sedate communities of the Mid-Columbia, prideful of our past and more than half reluctant to change the status quo, have looked with suspicious eyes on Bonneville power. Cascade Locks has gone ahead and dickered for a slice. Say what you please, the town by the dam has many of the attributes of a progressive and successful city. It isn t scared to death to depart from some of the precedents of its past; it is being run by young men who were attracted by the opportunity to "get in on the ground floor, and they are doing things. Indeed, they might teach some of the rest of us, who have much larger and more alluring opportunities, a thing or two.” JUNE GRADUATES Following a custom they've carried out for many years, at this time of year, your editors in all sections of the country, are pay ing their respects to the spring graduate. They refer to the responsibilities that come with manhood and maturity, the foundations that are to be laid for a future in a world upset by economic and social problems, and the conquering of independence and maintain- ence. The youngster of today is the man of tomorrow but a man who will need a helping hand. The present day graduate looks on the event with intelligence and good, common sense despite the fact that there is much facing him to discourage him and make him afraid. Today’s graduate knows that getting a diploma is one thing and getting a job another. And it seems that each new crop of graduates finds the task more difficult each year. You will find that most young folks are looking on life more seriously and planning for the future more carefully than is usual with youth. Today’s graduate knows the conditions awaiting him are not to be easily solved but he is willing to tackle the problem. Many graduates have been led to believe there are no longer opportunities for pleasant profitable and helpful service, but they will find there is always an opportunity to serve. Of these many young people who are soon starting in to find employment, most of them being willing to take any kind of honest labor, are paying the way, in part, for the general support of their families, and in some cases they will be able to lighten the load on our relief rolls. They are deserving of all the aid and cooperation our local citizens can extend them. Do' not let any boy remain idle who has a desire to work, if you can help him in any way. The wish to work instead of loaf is a characteristic which deserves the en couragement of the older generation in every possible way.
