UMATILLA ANGLERS HAVE GOOD SPORT. 



The Pendleton Tribune of April 1st comments as follows concerning 

 fishing conditions in that part of the country: 



"Not for several years has the trout season opened more auspiciously 



for Umatilla County anglers than it did today. 



"The abundance of trout in the streams is attributed to the large 

 plantings made during the last three years by the State Fish and Game 

 Commission. Prior to that time only a very few fish were planted in Uma- 

 tilla County streams, and these were all furnished by the government. 



"The anglers received nothing in return for their license money until 

 the Fish and Game Commission was created. The work of this commission, 

 including all the expense of enforcing the fish and game laws, is now 

 maintained by the fund created by the sale of fishing and hunting licenses. 

 This is the only one of the state commissions which is self-supporting, and 

 is therefore free from the criticisms now being hurled against commissions 

 in general in the state-wide fight against high taxation."
