EVERYONE AT FAULT BUT
THEMSELVES
The salmon didn’t come up the river this
spring and the observers on the sidelines are
playing the roles of skeptics, optimists, and
prophets of doom.
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.

“THINGS UNDONE”
Have I left any words unspoken
today,
That would lighten the heart that
was sad?
Have I given something from my
knowledge in store
That would cheer and make some
one glad?
Have I left any debts unpaid today
That were called for when due?
Have I got the money that others
should have,
Like some folks that I knew?
Have I left any letters unanswered
today,
That were sent from friends far
away?
Are they anxiously waiting on me
just now?
Do they expect a letter today?
Have I left any loved ones at home
alone?
Am I sailing the wide, wide sea?
Are they looking each day for my
return?
Are they anxiously waiting for me?
—I. N. Bradford.

Do not risk the necessity of a suit to Quiet Title to clear the title
to your property. Insist on securing an abstract from a company
maintaining a complete set of tract indexes and have that abstract
examined by a reliable attorney so that you may rest assured that
your title is clear for purposes of mortgaging or selling at any
time and upon short notice.
