lie Tells Of the Evils About Fall
Fishing.
SCHEME FOR UNITED ACTION
Some Reasons Why the AstOrian's
Crusade is Going to be PrOduc-
tive Of Good Results.


Mr.. Sofus Jensen yesterday morning to
ask his opinion concerning the merits
of the fight which the Astorlan has been
making against fan fishing on the Column
bIa River. AS the secretary OF the Col
u1nbia River Flshermen's Protective I'm
ion. Mr.. Jensens statements are entitled
to considerable weight. He said:
Some of the Astorlaais arguments are
an RIGHT. hut others are a little exagEer-
ated. I becfeve that the slGverslde salmon
caueht in this river In the fall is quite
eoral in quality to any fish caught in
the outside rivers. 1t seems to me that
your paper is trying to cause the aban-
dcnment OF fan fishing in this river alto-'
gether. and such action will give people
outside a decided advantage over our
nome fishermen, and / am decidedly
against such action, as my theory Is that
Industries should be maintained and
huff am. and not puIed down. l think
that fall fishing can be carried on without
onv injury 'to the spring industry IL the
nac.ars VITA not falsely label the salmon.
II mas heen demonstrated time and time
again that the eannerymen are putting
snrIne Iabels on fall Ash. This does not
affect the dealers who buy salmon, be-
cause thev fully understand what 1t re-
a.lv Il biIt n the consumers do not know
the difference between the fall and
snrinr Ash. IL thew 20 to the store ana
are given a can Of swell head or dog
salmon and this has been their first ex-
perIence with Columbia river fish, they
will turn AWAY in disgust in the future
e,tom ali Columbia. river salmon. and the
renutation OF city and state suffers by
n was greatly surprised the other
dav when / read in the Astorian
THAT the paper intended to pub
Nsh the names of the cannerymen
who pack fall Salmon. A good many
nernbers OF the Union came to me when
Ahev saw this article and complained
about H. They realized that the efforts
Of the IA storIan in this direction, If con-
tin,,ed would nut a stop to. fan fishing
