AS to angling from and near the
dams. Early in the summer | in
formed Mr.. Clanton that | would not
prosecute any one for fishing from
the head of the island Just below
the Ament dam. as the head of this
island is but little within the 600
foot line. And, Notwithstanding this,

anglers from fishing from this place.
And, as to fishing from the dams
and other places within the 600-feet
limit, | know that, while In this
vicinity, Mr.. Clanton has done all
that could be expected of any one TO
enforce tnlS law.
We must remember that Mr..
Clanton has as his territory all of
Southwestern Oregon and he should
not be expected to give all his time
to paroling little part of Rogue
river here in front of our city. Mr..
Clanton's home being here, perhaps
causes him to give this county more
than our proportion of his time.
And any one who has kept line on
him knows, and any one who would
take little time to investigate
would certainly know, that he is on
the Jump almost day and night while
here. do not believe there could
be another man found in the dis
trict who would give as much time
and energy to the work as does Mr..
Clanton.
So, in regard to the sale of fish
and the enforcement of the 600-foot
limit law, especially on the head of
the island below the Ament dam, II

Crook County Is o. X.

Tumalo, Ore, Oct. 20, 1909.
Editor Grants Pass Courier Hav-
ing noticed in the columns of your
paper recently an article regarding
the climatic conditions Of Crook
county, especially Prlneville, as laid
down by a recent arrival at that
place from Crook, stating there had
been no rain for two years In this
country and that everything was
burning up.
This country was never known to
have so much rainfall as In the past
two years. We have all the rain
needed TO keep the ranges In good
shape for grazing, and since most
everyone In engaged In irrigation, we
don't need the rain. In fact, we get
too much rain sometimes. Much dif-
flculty has been experienced In har-
vestlng this years crop. We are be-
ginning to have real Oregon weather
since the country is being brought
under cultivation and irrigation.
This country is far from being
burnt up. A more prosperous coun-
try could not be found, with two
railroads building up the Deschutes
river headed for this section. Cant
imagine where the gentleman could
have kept himself in this country,
not TO have seen any rain for two
years He had better come back and
get his hide thoroughly soaked.
Respectfully,

writes the Courier that the next an
nual convention of the Oregon State
Dairy Association is to be held in
Portland December 9 and 10, prob
ably in the Woodman building. llth
and Washington streets. The asso-
citation will be entertained by the
Portland Commercial Club.
Among the inducements offered to
come to Portland this year is a cash
prize OF 500 for dairy products by
the Portland FIGURING Mills COM
pany, Creamerymen and Others in
terested in dairying in Oregon are
going to join hands to make this the
great success of the year. A splen-
did program is being prepared which
VIII include an address by Chief
Raw of the Dairy Department Bu-
reau of Animal Industry, Washing
ton, d. G. Although an effort has
been made for several years past to
get him to come, he has never before
consented and this will probably be
the greatest drawing card on the
program that could be secured in the
United States.
Last year over four hundred peo-
pie attended and took part in the
convention at Salem, and this year
we hope to bring one thousand active
dairymen together at the Portland
convention. The four state dairy
inspectors who are now among the
dairymen Of the state will all COM

iton and there is every reason to be-
lieve that II will be the largest In
the history of the association, and
an impetus to dairying In Oregon.

AS to the selling of fish. Some
time ago, upon request for informa-
tion, | advised Mr.. Clanton that any
person who had license to sell,
could sell the fish they caught with
hook and line. also advised sever
al of the local anglers to the same eff
lect. This, perhaps, was erroneous
advice, but If it was, Mr.. Clanton
could do nothing but accent 1t as
correct. | gave this advice after
looking through the indexes of our
statutes and session laws and found
referred to by index at page 3S4 of
the 1909 session laws. statute
which | interpret to allow a person
to sell trout caught with hook and
line, and finding no other law in
dexed which referred to this point,
| concluded that any fish could be
sold which was caught with hook
and line. In this act trout are de-
scribed as including, among other
specie, the rainbow trout. This. |
will show is identically the same
fish as is called by some the steel
head.
But, later, in reading some of the
fish and game laws, accidentally
found an act at page 33S of the 1907
session laws which prohibits the sale
of salmon caught with hook and line
during the closed saeson for net fish
ing. In the definition of salmon
here it includes steelheads.
Now, as ! said before, the rainbow
and the steelhead are the same fish.
| base this upon the statements of
the best authorities of fish in the
United States. DR.. Jordan, of the
Leland Stanford university of Cali
fornia, and DR.. Everman, the United
States fish expert, both say that they
are the same fish. Now, If person
should be prosecuted for selling
steehead fish, who in this county
could testify, with the fish before
them, whether or not it is a steel
head or a rainbow? There is but

RUSSIANS STARVING

Hundreds of Russians who have
come to Alaska to find employment
are now in a starving condition at
Nome, Dawson and Fairbanks, ac-
cording to the Nome Industrial
Worker. the official organ of the
Western Federation of Miners at
Nome.
The mine owners are accused OF
sending the men into the territory in
order to reduce wages. No definite
proof has been adduced, howeeyr, as
to how the men have been brought
into the country.
THE lot of these Russians is a
hard one and it is absolutely neces-
sary that something be done at once
to relieve their pitiful condition, -
says the Industrial Worker.
"Of course, it would be good
thing to find out who is responsible
for bringing them into this country
and shoulder the burden of their care
upon these parties, but very little
Roadway has yet been made along
this line, and in the meantime the
Russians are virtually starving, the
big majority of them subsisting
merely on what they can beg"
