Mail Tribune 100: July 26, 1916 The following news items were drawn from the archives of the Mail Tribune 100 years ago Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted Jul. 26, 2016 at 12:01 AM Posted Jul. 26, 2016 at 12:01 AM » Social News July 26, 1916 ILLEGAL FISHING AT ROGUE'S MOUTH STILL CONTINUES Despite protests of game wardens and of sportsmen, illegal fishing at the mouth of the Rogue continues. Commercial fisherman continue to stretch their nets just outside the river's mouth in the surf and are driving from the river countless salmon and steel-heads. The law prohibits the taking of fish within three miles of the mouth of the Rogue with nets, yet dozens of nets are daily stretched. Arrests by game wardens brings prompt acquittals by local juries, composed of friends of the fisherman and the defense has been set up that Curry County's jurisdiction does not extend beyond low tide water mark, which seems to be concurred by county officials, who allege they are powerless to prevent violation. As the jurisdiction of the state extends for three miles from the shore line, the only remedy seems to be an appeal to the governor to use special authority to see that the law is enforced. Petitions to that effect are being signed locally. LOCAL AND PERSONAL J. W. Berrian has presented his resignation to the school board, assigning as his reason for resigning the fact that his work at the fish ponds at Butte Falls keep him from attending the meetings. The school board has not yet acted on the resignation. Mr. Berrian was appointed last January to succeed B. F. Mulkey, who resigned upon his removal to Portland. "Blondy" Bellaris, of Klamath Falls, who suffered two broken ribs and a crushed ankle when the car in which he was riding turned over on the Green Spring grade Sunday, left Wednesday morning on the train for Klamath Falls. Since the accident he had been confined to a room in the Medford Hotel. He was accompanied by Earl Hilton and Clive Kennedy. Neither of these latter were seriously hurt in the accident. Mrs. A. M. Wood of Castle Rock, Wash., arrived in Medford this morning and will be the guest of her sister Mrs. Dave Weatherly.
