HUNTING FISHING
A Spotsman's Paradise Found
In Polk County.
MOUNTAIN STREAMS ABOUND
IN GAMIEST OF TROUT.
Timbered and Rugged Mountain and
Valley Field Are Lure for
Sportsman With Gun.

Mountain streams in and adjacent
to Polk county furnish many enchant-
ing scenes. Starting from the sum
nit Of some lofty peak, or springlng
unheralded from the mosses OF an en-
erald-clothed hill, these streams tum-
BILE and roar over rocky beds in their
mad haste to reach the sea a few
miles beyond. Foaming with impa-
thence, now flowing clear and cold,
they hastenu downward to join others
bent on the same restless mission.
The traveller stands in awe before
the ambitious purpose OF the noun
tain brook and unconsciously reiter-
ates the thought Of Tennyson: Men
may come and men may go, but go
on forever"
Densely timbered and rugged
mountains oft mark its source, where
game finds freedom of the wilds and
the fondest hopes of the sportsman
are realized In its turbulent waters
the gamey trout turks in deep pools,
or shoots the rapids in plain view OF
the watching fisherman. Solitude is
here deep and impressive. The cool
fragrance Of the woods allures one on
and on, farther and farther, into the
virgin depths where nature alone
holds sway. The whir of the par
fridge and the mountain quail, the
stealthy tread Of the deer, or perhaps
the sight of bear, cougar or wildcat,
rouses one from his revere as he
plods along entranced by nature IS
beauty. An angler does not have to
be an expert to catch. the limit OF
Mountain, Rainbow and Cut-throat
trout from these well-filled water
ways, nor the nimrod long-practiced
in the art of craftsmanship to match
his skill against the game Of field
and forest. The average sportsman
may here again enter that paradise
long lost to him in middle western
states, for nowhere else can be found
such variety of game.
The bird par-excellence for the up
land shooter is the Chinese pheasant,
species introduced in the William
ette valley in the early eighties, in
addition to which are ruffied and blue
grouse, valley and mountain quail,
and "bob white" so familiar to the
Fastener. Southern Oregon is the
Pacific coasts breeding ground for
mallards, canvas-backs, pintails
shovellers, blue bills, woodduck, blue
and green-winged teal, and their mi
grations bring these, as well as geese
and other wild fowl, within reach OF
the Polk county huntsman.

Angling in Polk and Marion Counties

(By Deputy Warden Roy Bremmer)
Fishing in Polk and Marion coun-
ties has been poor up to June lst, but
with warmer weather since that time
the fish are biting better and num-
Der of good catches are reported.
One party, including Secretary OF
State Ben w. Olcott, DR.. Evans, DIR.
Bellinger and R. S. Southwick, all
of Salem, caught 24O trout on Butte
creek on the 11th of June. Another
successful party of anglers from Dal-
las included C. |. Crider, Frank Ker-
sew, F. j. Craven and Emmett Cos
per. They returned June 18th from
two days trip to the Siletz, where
they fished at the mouth of Sunshine
creek and caught 147 Cutthroat trout.
The largest measured % inches and
weighed four pounds.
The Siletz is a stream that will give
some good fishing this summer. The
road from Falls City to the mouth of
Rock creek is in good condition. This

Mr.. HUGHES HAS EXPLODED THE
KEPT US OUT OF WAR"
ARGUMENT.

Mr.. Hughes attack upon the kept
us-out-of-war" argument has aroused
a storm of enthusiasm.
Kept US out Of war; he demands.
"Why, there were nineteen men-good
American soldiers, shot down at Vera
Cruz, and Many Mexicans were killed
by our men. That was war. More
over, it was a very ignoble war. l
have heard three explanations Of the
Vera Cruz move.
First, It was explained that 1t was
made in order to compel somebody
to salute the fiag-somebody who had
insulted us. But the flag was not sa-
luted and has not been to this day.
Then 1t was said that the salute was
not what we sought, but to prevent
the landing Of a boatload OF ammuni-
ton intended for Huerta. The ammu-
milton landed. however, and 1t has
been shown that IL reached Huerta
in due season without interference on
our part.
when that reason was shown to
be untenable a third one-and possibly
the real one-finally was advanced
II was said that our seizure Of "A
Cruz was a move to compel the retire
ment Of Huerta. 1t seems possible
that this Is true. although We had
promised the Mexieans that We would
not interfere in their affairs and told
them more than once that we wanted
them to handle their own affairs
THAT is why the Mexicans could
not understand Us and that f. why
they show little faith in our promises"

dairying. 1t is particularly notable
that the hill soil carries an abun-
dance Of lime and has unusually good
wearing qualities. 1t has been dem
onstrated beyond question that 10 to
20 acres are sufficient for the ordin-
ary family if diversified and intensi-
fed farming is followed, while fol
general farming from 40 to 50 acres
and upwards are required.
ANY country within whose boun-
daries there is bountiful supply OF
water to moisten fertile soil, and tenn
perate climatic conditions obtain
must witness the greatest develop
ment in home-building. Polk county
possesses these necessary factors. The
soil has been discussed, let us consid-
er precipitation and climate. The av-
erage rainfall in the valley bottoms is
40 inches, with very slight increase
in precipitation with elevation on the
mountain slopes. In the Coast range
mountains, in the extreme western
portion of the county, the rainfall is
50 inches. The amount of snowfall
varies. being very light and rare IN
the valley and on the slopes. The av-
erage number of rainy days per year
are 1873. The average maximum tenn
perature in July is so degrees and the
average minimum "a degrees, while
the average maximum for January is
As degrees and the average minimum
for the same month is "a degrees.
1t would be difficult to compute the
full value of the annual rainfall In
this country, coming as it does in

domain for many more industries and
thousands more people Whether ag-
riculturist, horticulturist, dairyman,
stockraiser, mechanic, investor or
businessman, chances for the new
conner exist, because the county is
rich in natural resources; because it
presents unrivaled advantages; be-
cause the day has arrived for the
development Of what nature has en-
dowed; because Polk, already the
banner county Of the state, is look
ing forward, like an eagle pluming
its wings for higher flight, to a
still prouder station. Deep alluvial
soil, ideal climate, pure mountain wa
ter, mild winters, cheap transporta-
tion facilities, cheap lumber, low-pric-
ed fuel, healthful surroundings, con
genial neighbors- all are conducive
to that predominant spirit for fnan-
cial gain, peace, happiness and genu-
inc contentment.
There are thousands of acres OF
productive soil in Polk county unde-
veloped, waiting for the man of brain

1900 miles of highway extend to all
the principal parts Of the county, and
about per cent Of this mileage is
improved with hard surface, macad-
am and gravel, the annual expendi-
lures on roads being about $4,000.
The assessed valuation of taxable
property in the county in 1914 was
$11 ,844, $4,000, and this with the tax
able property Of the public service
corporations Isl ,442, ,71S.S4) made a
total valuation of more than thirteen
and a quarter millions.
Within the county there are l,557
farms, comprising 98,564 acres, an
average of 1872 acres per farm, with
an average value of $54.0S per acre
The average value of all property per
farm is $11 ,305, an increase of 1897
per cent in ten years. The average
number of mills levied for general eX-
penses of county government, state,

of Rock creek is thirty miles and it

ing for a small auto to make the trip.
Conditions for fishing on the north
fork of the Santiam are very bad so

MORE PROOF OF UNREADINESS

When the question of our national unreadiness for de
tense was seriously preached as a topic for public debate
way from the reflection that the war department knew a
thing or two that it did not make public. Some facts
developed in connection with the recent mobilization of
the national guard have proven that this was true. 1t
has also shown the reasons for the silence of the war Of
flee. 1t knew a lot of things it isn't proud of, knowledge
OF which does not raise us in the estimation OF the world.
When the Nebraska soldiers were in camp at Lin
coin, says the Omaha Bee, supplies sent from the St.
Louis warehouse for their use were elected because the
blankets, shoes and stockings were of an inferior quality.
Across the river, in Iowa, complaint was made that sec
ond-hand uniforms were issued. torn and buttonless trous-
es and the like, being among the articles. Now comes a
report from Camp Dodge that plow shoes of all the colors
of the rainbow are being issued to the men under arms,
in lieu of the regular army shoe. 1t was not alone in the
matter of guns and similar arms we were short, but we
can not supply clothing for the hundred thousand men
we have called out. What would have happened if Mr..
Brvan's million had presented themselves for equipment
1t is high time our war department was being ~overhauled
and placed on a serviceable basis.

WHEN THE DEUTSCHLAND SAILS

The imminence of the departure (f 1t las not already
taken place. of the submersible merchantmen. the
Deutschland, brings a little closer the real cruX III The ap-
plication OF international principles OF ls: to It's condition.
1t is easy enough to treat the vessel as a peaceful mer-
chairman, and extend to it all protection and 1mmunit1eS
while in port; this involves little or no stretch OF comfy,
and amounts to only a reasonable application OF recogn1Z
ed rules. When the Deutschland has passed beyond tie
league of salt water that separates our jurisdiction from
the freedom of the seas, what of her condition? The eli
tente allies have positively declined to admit the peaceful
status of the boat, even while in port. This means the
Deutschland will be DESTROYED, if possible. by any enemy
warship it may encounter.
In this event a most interesting question will be pre-
scented to our state department.. 1t has already been I'M
officially intimated that the United States will not under
take to follow the Deutschland to sea with the protection
afforded while in our territorial waters. Herr Won JagOw,
foreign secretary for the imperial German cabinet, has
been quoted as saying it is unthinkable that the United
States should take this position, in view of its insistence
on the application OF the rule of visit and search in con-
nection with the suspended submarine warfare. The diff
ficulties OF visit and search as between a surface cruiser
and a subsea merchantmen are obvious. Equally plain is
the advantage possible to a submersible warship under the
rule that permits the adoption OF any disguise to deceive
the enemy, requiring only that true colors be displayed
at the moment Of attack. The perpleNities of sea warfare
have not been lessened BY the visit OF the Deutschland.
While Captain koenig and his crew are naturally APP
p~rehensive on beginning their return voyage, because OF
the fact that their intentions are known, ordinary chances
are in their favor. and their safe return to Bremen is cont1-
IDENTITY looked for. They deserve a safe return, for they
have rendered a distinct service to their country, one that
is far beyond the mere carrying of freight. The sinking
oil a thousand ships by topedoes wcnId not have elevated
the U-boat as has the one voyage Of The Deutschland.

REv1vING THE SUBMARINE ISSUE

Threats heard in the house of commons that Great
Britain expects to make a permanent issue Out OF the
Deutschland ordinarily would have no weight, Dut exist
ing circumstances warrant giving the address OF Lolu
Robert Cecil some consideration. This is not the HIst
time since the beginning of the war that the British caol-
net has sought to influence the action of the United States
on an issue raised by the war. Controversy over inter
ference with neutral traffic is already sharp, and the I'M
mediate matter of interference with mails has Deen
brought to the attention of King Georges ministry IN
plain terms. Should the minister of war trade, or the Tor
eign minister, seize upon the incident of the appearance IN
an American harbor of a submersible merchant vessel as
a pretext for threading reprisals of any sort, they would
show a capacity for laundering even greater than has been
credited to them.
His British majesty's cabinet should keep in mind
that it was the firm insistence of the United States on OBJ
servance of neutral rights and international law that
brought the modification in the German submarine cam
paign. The advantage of this to British commerce need
not be specified. The only possible effect OF charges
against the United States in connection with the Deutsch-
land would be to ALLEVIATE the moral support OF a large per
centage of our people, whose s%ympathies have been with
the entente allies, but whose sense of justice will not per
NIT them to accept everything proposed by the British
government.
Efforts to force this country into an unneutral posi-
ton are unworthy of the British. Lord Crews reply to
the note on the mail question is overdue, and patience with
his dilatory course will not be improved by evasion or an
attempt to revive the submarine issue.
