ROGUE RIVER SALMON
INDUSTRY IS IMMENSE
Another Bis Shipment Of Esss
Mode From Locsl Hatcheries
TO the Mouth of River

The salmon industry of the Rogue
River is assuming large proportions.
This was made evident by the daily
shipments by the Rogue River Fisher.
mems Union from Grants Pass. dur
ing the season aud Saturday another
good evidence of this assertion was to
be seen.
A shipment of 1880, 900 chinook sal:
mon eggs was made Sat. from Grants
Pass to Wedderburn, at the mouth Of
Rogue River. The salmon, from
which these eggs were taken were
caught in racks in Rogue River, at
Finley's Bend, and in Illinois River.
tributary of Rogue River. at tile
falls eight miles below Kerby. This
work was carried on by the United
States Bureau of Fisheries and under
the supervision Of II. l.. Kelly, Jr.,
superintendent Of the Government fish
hatcheries on Rogue River. The
eggs were placed 10 shallow trays,
25 pounds to the tray and to prevent
the heavy jars, which would kill
them, they were packed in moss.
These trays were Grated and the
crates placed in the center of large
box with the space between the
crates and the box filed with ice and
sawdust. 1t is essential to keep the
eggs cold for if they become warm
the Matching process will begin and
then being delicate the heat and jar
ring will kill them.
There were 20 Of these big boxes,
each the size of large Saratoga
trunk, and they were shipped in q
baggage car attached to the regular
passenger train. The transportation
is given free to Portland by the
Southern Pacific. the company doing
this to aid in the building up of the
salmon industry iu Rogue River. At
Portland tbs eggs will be transferred
- the costing steamer Berwick which
will land them at the mouth of the
Rogue River, but II the bar is too
rough to allow the steamer to enter
the river. the eggs will be landed at
Coos Bay aud hauled down the beach
by teams. Superintendent Kelly &C.
compsnied the shipment to Portland
aud attended the transfer to the
steamer, and from Portland another
expert of the bureau of fisheries will
care for the eggs until they are landed
at the hatchery

SENATOR MILLER THINKS
OREGON WILL GO DRY
And hI Believes That the Entire

Miller, of Linn County. when in

The whole United States will be
dry within 10 years, he continued.
The movement doss not spring
from any single event or argument
but 1t is in the air, as you might
say. and is everywhere in evidence.
1.-The people are sick and tired Of
the liquor traffic They are disgusted
with the way the saloons have been
run and are going to put them out Of
business. Merchants and business
men of all kinds have given up the
notion that it takes saloons to make
live town. The most prosperous.
cleanest and best conducted towns in
the state today are dry. In those
towns you win find the most orderly
people.
''In tho last few months l have
all over the state and have
heard emphatic expressions against
the saloon from persons who would be
least expected to entertain such views.
One Southern Oregon hotel keeper
who runs a bar told ms he intended to
vote for prohibition. The movement
