How would it suit Mr.. Elmore to lin
Il ali fishing to wheels and seines and
traps. with a proviso that all gillnet-
ters who were so disposed could drift al
win in the rapids through the dalles
and over the cascades.-Y esterday' s
Oregonian.
The argument" presented in the
above lines is quite apiece with that Of
the whole long-winded article on the
overfishing OF the Columbia of which il
is an extract. The idea Mr.. Elmore evi-
IDENTIFY intended to convey was that fu-
ture regulations of the salmon industry
must be framed with reference to the
habits and peculiarities Of the ish.
Salmon packers have adjusted their
methods and appliances for taking the
fish TO these conditions; why should not
the laws intended Cor the increase and
preservation Of the industry also take
them into account? The Columbia
river is not like stick Of timber which
can be turned end for end; it must be
dealt with as it lies. Thr cascades and
upper reaches Of the river are where the
fish go 10 srawn; it is there the supply
must be replenished. if at all. Mr. FL
more's suggestion was TO let this spawn-
ing ground alone and conllne fishing
operations TO that portion of the river
where they may do the least harm.
The huntsman who goes into the open
field to shoot full-Aedged quail extermi-
mates his game in a very different and
less pernicious way than he who ruth
lessly invades the hedges to break up
the nests and destroy the en-
bryo offspring of the breeding
birds. The Columbia river fshwheel
has been pronounced by every author
ity the wickedest and most detriment-
al contrivance for taking fish ever in
vented by man. 1t catches not only
the breeding salmon. but the young
hsh as we'll What use to es-
tablish hatcheries, when no eggs
can be obtained? Nine hundred mil
lion eggs could have be taken from
the fish destroyed by wheels last
year Located at points in the
strong currents. which the breeding
salmon cannot avoid. and provided with
false channels artfully laid to deceive
the instinct of the spawn-laden fsh, not
one in thousands can escape the cease
lessly revolving and insatiate NAV Of
this devilish snare. Let the men who
own these exterminating devices come
TO the lower river If they will. 1t is no
argument in their favor to say that
their apparatus is not suited to the
slow currents prevailing here. but rath-
er an argument against the injustice Of
their use anywhere. If wheels are not
adapted to lower river conditions, let
these upper river fishermen take their
chances with the same appliances used
by their fellows below. In this way
and this way only-the salmon can be
preserved for any fisherman. and all
