SEEMING RIVERF0R SALMON
This Method of Fishing to BE Tried
In Rogue River.

SEEMING for salmon will be under
taken for the first time this season in
Rogue river. Heretofore salmon have
only been caught with gillnets in
Rogue river, but seins having proved
30 successful on the Colubmia river
and other streams in catching salmon.
II. A. Cor!iss of this city, decided
to try the seining method and has or.
dertd 600 foot seine from Portland.
Owing to the narrowness of Rogue
river only n short siene can be used.
Mr. Corliss will fish below Grants
Pass where there are long stretches
Of comparatively still water The
problem will be to find section that
has smooth sandy bottom with no
obstruction TO tear the seine or to
make IL necessary to raise it high and
let the fish escape,
SEEMING on the Columbia has come
to be one Of the principal methods Of
catching salmon in that river, and u
good seining ground is as valuable as
gold mine here In Southern Oregon
These seining grounds are on sand
bars whore there IL an extensive area
Of shoal water, the depth ranging
from FIVE to l2 feet. Where there
are sunken logs or boulders to inter.
fere with the seine diver goes down,
blows them loose with giant powder
after which they are removed. Some
Of these seines are half mile in
length and are laid out from boat,
which leaves the upper part of the
grounds. as the fishing waters are
called, where one end Of the seine is
attached to the bank Of the river.
The boat then travels in a semi.cirole
reaching the bank down stream where
the end Of the seine is taken ashore.
The seine is then hauled in small
ones by horsepower, but for tho large
ones donkey engines are used. In the
height Of tho salmon run it is not
uncommon for seine to land on the
beach five TO 10 ton of fish at haul.

ROGUE RIVER VALLEY
FRUIT PROSPECTS GOOD
Commissioner Carson Reports
Increased Acreage and
Larse Yield.

Hon. A. II Carson, one of the com.
missioners of the State Board Of Hor-
ticulture and whose district embraces
Southern Oregon, has lately been
making an inspection of the principal
orchards of his district and he fin ds
the fruit prospects of Southern Ore
gon to be good and that the yield
will be up to the usual high rate.
Owing to the steady and rapid in
crease in the acreage to orchard that
has been made in Rogue River Valley
in the last few years, Mr.. Carson OK.
poets the crop Of apples, pears,
grapes and peaches to far exceed that
of any previous year.
In the Ashland district, where n
fruit growers union has made peach
growing profitable, he expects the
yield of peaches to exceed 80, 600 boxes
this season, and this yield will be
greatly increased in the next few
years by reason Of the large number
of peach trees that have been planted
the past year or two. In apple and
pear production, Mr.. Carson notes the
greater increase, as the acreage plant
ed to these fruits has been rapidly
increasing for several years past.
For the past year he estimates tina t
fully 5000 acres in Rogue River Val.
ley have been set to apples and pear
trees. The area to grapes is not in
creasing so rapidly but with better
market conditions Mr.. Carson expects
that grape growing will become one
of the leading industries of Sou thern
Oregon, for the chemical formation of
the soil and the climate combine to
produce grape that for delicacy Of
flavor, as well as prolificness is
excelled in no other district Of the
world. On the whole, Comm issioner
Carson considers the outlook for the
fruit industry in Southern Greg IN
very encouraging for the present and
even more encouraging for the future.
For the market accessible to South
ern Oregon fruit is steadily growing
an az the extra finn quality of Rogue
River fruit is becoming known, the
demand is rapidly increasing These
factors with the fact that growers are
handling their orchards on more
thorough and business like methods
and are through their unions able to
sell to better advantage and to pur.
chase their supplies at lower rate
is making fruit growing one Of the
largest and most profitable industries
in Southern Oregon.

Mr.. Corliss will use horsepower to
haul his seine.
Tho open season for catching sal.
mon in Rogue river began on the 10th
OF this month and the morning of that
date the usual phenomenal catch was
shipped from Grants Pass, the ship
ment for that day exceeding by three
OF four times that of any subsequent
day. Much Of the salmon caught in
Rogue river goes to the towns along
the Southern Pacific, but large part
goes to Astoria to the cold storage
firms who send the fish East and to
Europe as Columbia river salmon. for
the salmon of Rogue river equal In
size and flavor those of the Oolum-
bia river. The run Of salmon in
Rogue river has been fairly good this
season and the II boats that are
fishing here are making wages for the
men operating them.

NEW OREGON LAWS
RECENTLY ENACTED
Synopsis of Laws Soon to Be In
Effect-Some Of Local
Interest.

Below is given synopsis CT some of
the laws that were enacted by the last
legislature and which 60 into effect in
May. Some of them are Of special i'm
portance TO Grants Pass and the Rogue
River Valley:
PRACTICE OF OPTOMETRY.
5. B. 70. 1t is unlawful for any
person to employ subjective mechani-
cal means to test the eyes without
having obtained certificate of regis
tration from the Oregon state board of
optometry. This board is to be ap-
pointed by the governor as soon as
practicable after the law goes into
effect All persons desiring to prac-
tice optometry thereafter shall make
application for a certificate and be ex-
amined at the time and place indicat-
ed for such work. All persons en-
titled to a certificate must make APP
plication for the same within three
months after this act goes into effect.
The penalty for violation is a fine of
SEQ to 800, or imprisonment of one
to three months in the county Jail.
Physicians and surgeons authorized to
practice, and persons selling eye
glasses in the ordinary course of
business, without endeavoring to test
the eyes, are not required to secure a
certificate from the optometry board.
In force by emergency. The need of
this law is apparent to one who will
observe the vast number of school
children and even of children barely
out of the nursery and the hundreds
of young men, young women and of
men and women of all ages, classes
and stations who are burdened with
pair of glasses. The wearing of
glasses is no doubt beneficial to the
eyes of many young people, but there
is no doubling the fact that a great
majority of young persons wearing
glasses have no more need for them
| llldu lhtg hhNt lOl Wikei Va VI ubOhOb'
Many OF the so.called opticians know
no more about the eye than they do
about the sun and they are ready to
ascribe all the ills and ails of hu-
manity to defective vision. Many of
these alleged eye doctors travel from
town to town and make thorough
canvass of the residence districts and
being smooth takers and Of good
address, make a sale Of glasses at
nearly every house, for they will con
vince the mother that her weariness
is from eye strain and not from ex-
cessive wolk and that her daughter 5
headache is due to her eyes and not
to pickles and late hours, and that
the son must have glasses to make
HIM well and strong, though cigar
cites and other bad habits and not his
eyes are the cause Of his troubles.
There is little doubt that were all
opticians thoroughly competent and
perfectly honest that there would be
far less children and fewer grown per-
sons wearing glasses than are now
to be seen.
