Emerson Hough and printed in re-

the trolling for chinook salmon along

arouse the blood OF thousands IL II
could be made more accessible. The
wonders Of southern Oregon and the
glories Of Rogue river win never be
half known or exploited till there is
some better means OF eommunica-
don along the stream. Here on the
upper river there is some of the
sport OF trolling. but not such as
could be obtained nearer the mouth,
where the chinooks, Just out Of the
salt water. are full of the fight for
life and eager to battle with the
rapids to reach the upper river. There
Is now completed an excellent trail
down the river. but railroad OF

aid in the development of the many
resources Of that district Until
