HELP SAVE THE FISHING ASSET.

II is 10 the interest of every busi-
ness man in Ashland and every other
resident to give his support to the
movement toward the closing OF
Rogue river to commercial fishing.
AS a tourist city with great ambitions
along tourist lines, Ashland is vitality
interested in preserving what is per-
haps the greatest attraction to men
of means that the valley has, Rogue
river fishing. Rich sportsmen have
come across the continent in years
past to whip tho waters Of the Rogue
and fight the famous Rogue steel
head. Many of the moneyed men
who have settled in this valley did
30 because of the availability Of the
best fishing in the world. Ashland
Is bound to become the headquarters
in years to come for the vacation
seeker who visits the valley. He
makes his headquarters here and
leaves his family here while enjoying
the numerous trips to the favorite
rifles of the Rogue and into the
mountains in search of game. With
out the Rogue fishing Ashland would
be without an asset which appeals
more strongly than any ching else to
the multitude Of vacationists who
find their chief delight in fishing.
There are many places which ap-
proach Ashland in beauty and a few
fishing streams in this country which
approach. although they cannot
equal, the Rogue, but the combina-
tion of Ashland and the Rogue is
bound to Re irresistible. Without the
Rogue fishing Ashland would lose
any chance of getting the fishermen
Vacationists. /
The Rogue river steelhead are
growing scarcer with an astounding
rapidity since the cannery has been
operating at the mouth of the river.
Each year has made securing fair
sized catch more difficult, until now
none but the expert-the valley resi-
dent who knows every whim of the
riyer-can get enough sport from a
visit to the river to make the trip
worth while. In bygone years, when
the Macley fishermen did not place
their nets across the mouth of the
river, the average angler could get
day of magnificent sport. Although
he might land but very small per
cent of his strikes in proportion to
the work of the expert, the steelhead
were so plentiful that an empty bas-
ket was almost unknown. Since
Macley bought the idle cannery for
a song and mesmerized the legisla-
ture into enacting law In direct
contradiction to the will Of the peo-
ple who had voted two to one in
favor of closing tho river, and
stretched nets across it. those days
of royal sport are gone. The thrash
ing salmon battor up the steelhead
the fishermen throw them out of the
nets by the gills, and the small mesh

down and, sure enough, it was big
wildcat. / shot him out, and after
they yanked him around a while
started back over the hill. l was get
ting mighty anxious to get back to
that bear, track When | got up
within thirty or forty yards of where
he had gone along, both dogs broke
out and, taking the tarck, went down
around the hillside, yelping every
jump. I knew they couldn't help but
get him, so | thought / would take
his back track and see where he came
from. / tracked him back about forty
yards, and there l found his den at
the root of big fir that had been
burned and followed out. The dogs
and / had disturbed him and he lay
still until he thought the coast was
clear, then came out to change his
quarters. The dogs were soon
around the point Of the hill and out
of hearing, so l went straight up to
the top of the hill and heard them
away off, down near the right fork
of the creek. / went on down TO
where they were, and they had him
in cave. went up along the side
of the mouth of the cave and looked
in, and / could see his eyes shining
like two Goals of fire. l pointed tho
gun as near between the eyes as
could and pulled the trigger, then
stepped back to one side and threw
another load in. When the gun
cracked both dogs went in side by
side, and l suppose he must have fall
en-, for they came out of there back
wards and each one had him by the
side of the head, and he wasn't dead
by a long shot. There was a big log
along in front of the cave, and when
he got well out he knocked Trailer
loose and gave some kind of a yank
and threw the old dog over the log,
but Trailer held on and hung right
to him. The bear placed his feet on
the log and braced himself back.
This was all done quicker than it
takes to tell it. I was within five
feet of him and jerked up and shot,
hitting him at the butt of the ear.
This finished him. He was a black
bear about three years old and very
fat. We came back next day and
packed him in, without having to
skin him and cut him up.
Now l hope the readers will enjoy
this story as much as l enjoyed the
bear meat.

side of the tree from me, but he was,
and had his head poked around the
trunk. When l moved up closer,
down he came, hand over fist, tear
ing the bark to pieces as he came.
The dogs we're on the upper side Of
the tree and when the bear struck
the ground he gathered himself and
went smashing down across the creek
and up the other side. Both dogs
dashed down after him, but before
they got to him the Winchester
cracked and, to my surprise, he came
heels over head and rolled over and
over back down into the creek, which
was dry and rocky. The dogs piled
right in after him. / ran down as
quickly as | could, but he was dead.
As good luck would have it, in catch
ing the bead in my hurry | had shot
little high, the bullet hitting him
in the back of the neck killing him
/ instantly.
The first hard work did was to
take his entrails out and feed the
dogs some liver, which cut up fine
for them. They did not like it very
much, but ate some of it, However,
as soon as | got back to my horse /
fed them, as had brought along
something for them.
This was big cinnamon bear, and
how those dogs could keep him up
that long is a mystery to me, unless
he had come down and been fighting
them on The ground part of the time.
l will skip over the rest of them
now and tell you about the bear /
caught the day before Christmas. AS
said before, to tell of every one
Trailer caught would take up entire
ly too much space. But just think OF
two dogs staying out three days and
nights! Do you wonder at me think
ing the world of Trailer?
On the oath of December there was
snow, so l took both dogs with me
and started out in the morning for
a hunt, not expecting in the least to
kill bear, as they were all holed up
long before, but wanted deer, and
in those days it was not against the
law to kill them in December. |
took the dogs along in case we should
run across a varmint track.
l went away off up Griffin creek
and up by what they called Miller's
flat and quite a ways up the ridge
without seeing thing, when all at
once / ran across a wildcat track.
Away the dogs went, straight down
the hill, across the left hand prong
of Griffin creek, and over the hill out
of hearing. I followed, and when I
got down across tne creek stopped
and, happening to look back up the
hill, Il saw boar going along the hill
side, right where I had come along.
The hillside was burned off and /
could see him plainly, but it was a
long shot. / hauled up and sent
bullet over that way once, anyhow,
just for luck, but I didn't reach him
and away he went as fast as he could
run didn't shoot any more as it
would be nonsense at that distance,
anyhow, so I went on up to the top
of the hill, thinking as 1 went along
what the dogs would do when I
brought them back and they struck
that bear track. When I got up there
l heard them down the hill short
distance, barking up a tree / went
