Marshal Ganger had a chase two
miles beyond Dee Monday afternoon
In pursuit OF Pete and Denny Ad-
kins. 1t appears that Allen Burr was
provoked into striking a son of Pete
Adkins, and the father resented by
giving Burr a thIashing. Some back

complaint, and Marshal Ganger went
after the men. They heard of his ap

In all, about s225 have been divided

The most profitable crop which Cal
ifornia has Is the Tourist crop. No
crop in that state receives more at
tention, or Is more industriousiy cal
tivated. None brings so large returns
in many localities. While the stten-
tion which Hood River has attracted
is mainly from the fame of her straw
berries and apples, yet this valley has
an almost undeveloped field as an at
traction to the tourist. Nowhere on
the coast is the scenery so attractive.
In no ther locality Is there such
combination of attractions for the
tourist as the Hood River country.
We're these attractions fully known,
made easy OF access. and accommoda-
tinos provided at the various points,
the amount OF tourist travel In the
summer would amount to thousands
instead of hundreds. In the noun.
tains are the finest camping grounds
and miles and miles of trout streams
that should be teeming with fish. Yet,
owing to neglect, barriers across the
river, robber bitches, etc many of
the streams are becoming empty.
While the use OF the water In streams
for commercial purposes is more i'm
portant than the mere sport of fish
ing, yet proper arrangement of fish
ladders, the proper screening OF
bitches, and legitimate fishing In sea-
son, can be observed with any curtail.
ment OF the rights OF the water users
There are many tourists who are glad
to go many miles from the cities for
few days fishing. Lost lake Is hut
one of many attractive camping
grounds where accommodation for
tourists will be maintained as soon as
there Is demand fol them, yet the
fish are disappearing from the lake.
The seashore does not suit everyone.
Many prefer to camp and fish In the
mountains, but rot many care to
camp in the mountains without the
sport OF fishing. AS a cold blooded
business proposition, aside from local
sport, lot us preserve our fish as
commercial asset.
