FIGHTING SALMON
SWIM IN 0WYHEE

| The pet of the Rex Beach novel,
the steely, hard-fighting fish of the
| Columbia river. is finding his way in
20 northern Elko county via the Owy-
hee river, which Is a tributary of the
Columbia The big salmon, prize of
the canning industries of the north,
will more than likely be a common
sight along the Owyhee this year. For
the second time in many years the
big dams placed in the Owyhee res
eryation district which prevented the
migration of the salmon into Elko
county streams have been removed
and the big fish are now at liberty to
come into the very sources OF the
Owyhee.
This is the statement of Mr.. Claude
Womack who was visitor in this
city over Sunday from his ranch near
Mountain City. Last year. which was
the first time that the Owyhee dams
had ever been moved, many of the
salmon schools were seen in pools in
the northern part of this county. Mr.
Womack stated that the fish even
found their way into the smaller
creeks such as Gold Greek, hardly
more than a ditch, where they la,
day in and day out. Several captures
OF the salmon were made by north
county residents. This salmon does
not accept the ordinary fisherman's
lures. The fly does not attract him
and the lowly worm can be dangled
tempting,y before his nose by the
hour without receiving attention from
him. The only way he can be caught
is by jumping into the pool and
wrestling him out or by spearing him.
Many of these big fish were seen last
summer floating on the very tops of
the pools in which they had sought
refuge For long periods they would
lie on the top of the water and the
approach of human would not
brighten them into deeper depth. In
fact they merely sided away from an
intruder and lay watching him in
lazily interested manner in the same
conspicuous position on top of the
water. Any person who undertook
capturing one of these big fish by in
vading his native element and Crap
pling him by hand undertook mans
size job. according to Womack. Seized
even by the gills the salmon makes
bitter and long drawn fight out Of
it and has been known to slip out of
the hands of his captor even when the
gill grip was applied. The fish seen
in the Owyhee last year measured
from two to four feet in length and
were handsome specimen.
The salmon migrates to the smaller
streams to spawn. In the quiet of the
mountains, sheltered in the big fresh
water pools, the salmon egg is placed
and here too 1t develops. There is a
tradition to the effect that the sal
mon returns to his native birth place
at the end of four years to spawn and
after spawning to die. The four-year
period, 1t is said, Is spent in the
swiftly flowing Columbia II he man
ages to escape the nets of those who
ould reduce him to commercial
basis.
With the information that salmon
are coming into the Owyhee to at
tract them the northern country will
see many an enthusiastic fisherman
earching the pools of the tributary
streams.

Eskimos do not come that far south.
"Once hermit, always a hermit"

GAME WARDEN CLINE WARNS a..
@t1% AGAINST LAW VIOLATION

Game Warden Cline warns against
violation Of section 4 of the Mime
sofa Game and Fish Laws relative
to the manner OF taking game. This
section in part is as follows: "Birds
and quadlupeds ,protected by law,
shall he taken only in the daytime
with q gun not larger than a ten
gauge fired from the shoulder un LEES
otherwise permitted in this chapter,
No person while in a motor vehicle
shall take game, nor discharge any
firearm therefrom at any protected
wild animal, nor carry a pistol or
revolver, in a motor vehicle, unless
the same is unloaded in both barrels
and magazine and taken apart or con-
tanned in a case" y
He advises that a number of in
fractions Of this section have been
noticed during the hunting, seasons
heretofore but no guns have been con-
tiscated by him as yet. He intends
however, to see that all viola tors OF
this section are punished hereafter to
the full extent of the law.
Mr. Cline also appeals to hunters
from the sportsman's standpoint, that
lit is not fair for anyone to violate
this law while others are forced to
live up to it, or at least do. He says
he will be on the lookout for all VIC
lators of this provision and. gives
them due warning at this time. :.

BRITISH COAL STRIKE
AVOIDABLE. SAYS CLYNES
Labor Chairman Says Strike
Could Have Been Settled
Before Miners Quit
By Charles Mccain
United Press Staff Correspondent

WI
London, July 25.-British national
interests demand that prevention in
stead of cure must be the policy to
prevent repetitions of the disastrous
coal strike, which has thrown hun
dreds of thousands of workers out of
employment during the past three
months, j. r. Clynes, M. p, chairman
of the labor party, said in an inter
view today.
"There are three great lessons to
be learned from the dispute" Clynes
said.
"First, the national interest, in
which the miners interest is included,
is not in considering how best to end
a dispute, but how to prevent it.
"Second, the workers leaders, who
are chosen as the best men in their
unions, must have power as we'll as
responsibility, so that they can tell
their fellows what is best for them if
terms are offered.
"Third, employers and the govern
ment should see the folly Of placing
large bodies of men in a position
where they must fight regardless Of
consequences to the country because
fighting appears to them to offer the
only shield against starvation.
During the first few weeks of the
coal stoppage, the real issue relating
to wages was obscured by frantic
