Using Trout Minnows for Fish Bait

1t has been a matter of wonder to the Sun how it were possible to
catch minnows for bait-and catch only sucker minDows Many
have asserted that it was impossible to distinguish between the two
Others have said that only sucker minnows had their habitat near the
banks of streams and that there was no danger of catching trout
minnows because they remained in the deep water. There can be
no question now but what at least half of the minnows used for fish
ing # trout mnnows-and that minnow fisherman have all along
been using trout minnows to catch trout with.
The editor of the Sun had an opportunity the other day to ex-
anime a bunch of minnows that had been caught to fish with and was
surprised to find six, cut of the seven minnows in the bucket were
trout minnows. There was no installing the difference between
the two kinds. If this is the proportion maintained thruout it is
rather startling But we do believe, however, that at least half
the mlnnows used are trout minnows.
From the above it can readily be cen that there is no s to stock
our streams with trout fry and then turn around and use that same
trout fry for bait. That would be a preposterous idea. But that is
Just what we are doing. Something should be done at once to stop
.tls method OF trout destruction. The man who will catch a baton
of trout and let them go to waste is roundly condemned, but the man
who will catch Az OF 80 minnows, half of them trout spawn, is lust as
much to be condemned.
Our people, all over the valley, as well as elsewhere about the
state, should rise up in arms to stop this waDton destruction of trout
fry. What is the Use to expend thousands of dollars in raising and
distributing trout spawn, only to furnish bait for the fishermen who
choose to fish with a minnow rather than a fly or spoon-hook! There
is neither rhvme n reason to such a propositian and a sudden stop
should be put to this kind of work @

A Sample OF Democratic Truth and veracity

In the issue of the Wind River Mountaineer, of Lander, for the
2lst instant, Brother Wendt in an editorial entitled "Me Too Papers"
says. among other equally truthful things:
"The people know, and these editors know, that several reso-
lutions we're introduced in the last Legislature asking for a
thoio investigation of several state institutions and several
pet offices, but that the same resolutions were killed by a Re-
publican majority"
As a matter of fact the very contrary of that statement is the truth
Every resolution introduced, looking to any kind of an investigation of
state officers or state affairs, was given the right of way and instend
of being killed by a Republican majority" AS the Mountaineer says,
they we're helped forward until dropped by their democratic authors
because there was nothing to sustain the investigation.
Take the resolution to investigate the letting of the contract for
the printing of the bills by Secretary Schnitger. introduced by Sena-
tor Carpenter a IS a sample. My! o! how Senator Carpenter and
and some of the other democratic senators did roar-at the beginning
ofthat investigation, and how mildly they came in finally and, in a
barely audible whisper, made report that there a absolutely nothing
wrong or unlawful about the letting of that contract The repub-
ican majority in the senate could have quashed that investigation if
they had desired, but they said: "The contract was let in accord
ance with law. Let them investigate until the have satisfied them.
selves of that fact. If we put anything in the way OF that investi-
CATION they will never get done bowling fraud and corruption"
After the investigating committee had turned everything upside
down and found nothing wrong, they came in and made a report that
the contract had been legal and right in every way. But they did
not roar about it. On the contrary they whispered. They were
given two weeks by the senate in which to unearth fraud, and all that
they wereh holding up an appropriation bill which a t, provide
funds for the payment of the mileage and per diem of the members
and officers of the legislature.

RESIGNATION Of Hon. Otto Gramm.

The resignation of Hon. Otto Gramm fiom the board of Univer-
stv trustees is much to he regretted. be has been a member of
the bosrd for nearly twenty years and has given that institution the
most able and efficient service. The Sun will venture to say that if
his everya act. while a member of that board, could he reviewed by an
impartjal observer, there would not be found a single action to con-
denim. On the other hand he has given the University the most
unstinting care, and much of it's present efficiency is due to his unset
fish devotion to its welfare. He has never shiIk ed a duty, no mat
ter how unpleasant it may have been, and there have been some very
unpleasant duties to proform in the interest of that institution No
matter what may be said of his political enemies, the time will come
when he will receive generous recognition for his Iabors for the well
fare of the University.

a wei. he dug when Saratogas days were young. The we'll
filled with gas and the children touched it off with a deafen-

Value Of Farms Greatly Enhanced.

The improved roads of Douglas county have in
creased the value of lands abuttng them from $50
to 500 acre in the opinion of good judges. When
state Engineer George w. Cooley of Minnesota
in Omaha attending the Land show held in January
he was taken for trip over the improved roads of
the county After seeing the work done the Mime
sofa expert assured County Engineer Mcbride Doug
las county the best improved rural roads he had
ever been over also that the bridge construction is
up to the best That this idle compliment
was proved by the fact Mr.. Cooley took home with
him a set of plans for in his state. The United
States government expert who lectured at the Land
show also made the statement that Douglas county
brck-paved roads are the best he had anywhere

In the old time a relay station for the stages to the

People who have been most deeply interested in
the subject of better highways-to the extent that
they have been watching keenly the course of good
roads legslation-are inclined to comment somewhat
bitterly the fact that the farmers having seats in
the law-makng bodies the most difficult to

money and competent inspection the country roads
This too despite the fact that better highways reduce
tremendously the cost of hauling crops, permit of
much heavier loads being hauled with ordinary farm

living and bring every farm home closer to town by
shortening the time of travel One farmer in Douglas
county told County Engineer Mcbride the improved
road running by his farm made difference in haul
ing of two and half miles, reckoning time spent on
the journey compared to the old days.
In a bulletin issued in December 1906 the United
States Department of Agriculture made mention Of
the fact that in Nebraska there but mile of
public road per square mile of territory This has
been increased quite materially at this time. OF i'm
proved roads in the state outside of Douglas county
only seventeen miles improved with stone and six
miles with sand-cay mixtures While the expert ~Uf
the department deplored the smallness of improved

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1911-03-20

IL is intimated will be placed before
the people by initiative at the gener-
al election in 1912. the executive COM
mittee of the state grange, consisting
of State Master o. e. Spence of can
by, A. /. Mason of Hood River and c.
l.. Shaw, have propounded the follow
ing questions to the attorney general:
"First-Has any county in the state
of Oregon the power to call a special
election under section 10, article II,
as amended in 1900, for the purpose
of creating a debt for the building of
permanent roads, either with money
derived by voting bonds or issuing
county warrants beyond $4,000?
"Second-Can the county courts Is
sue county warrants beyond $4,000 In
debtedness for the purpose Of build
ing permanent roads without obtain
ing a majority vote Of the people at
a general or special election?"
The attorney general has held in
former opinion that the counties of
the state can issue warrants Of In
debtedness beyond $4,000 for good
roads without further legislation but
there is string to this opinion, in the
last clause Of the amendment to the
constitution; adopted last November,
which reads as follows: But debts
for permanent roads shall be incur
red only on approval of majority or
those voting on the question"
- This has raised, then, the further
question in the minds of the execu-
tive committee of the state grange,
whether. the counties can call spe-
cial elections for the purpose of
learning the majority sentiment as
to the issuance of warrants, in excess
Of $4,000 for good roads.
1t is believed by the grange that
Attorney General Crawford will hold
that the counties have no authority
to call special road elections or any
other 'speciak election except that
power is expressly given them by the
legislature, and In that event the
good roads amendment adopted last
November Is useless without an en-
abling act giving the counties author
ity to call road bonding elections.
