THE SLAUGHTER OF TROUT. A CCORDING to reports nuulc to tho master fish wtir-- den there were twonty-soven tons of steolhoads caught at the mouth of the Rogue last autumn. There were practically three tons caught at Grants Pass last season, making a total of thirty tons, which, with the average weight of the fish, means from 15,000 to 20,000 steelhead trout seined for commercial purposes. This ex plains why trout are becoming extinct in tho Rogue River. Rogue River steelhead and rainbow trout, arc one and the same fish. They are valueless for canning purposes, but they are refrigerated and shipped east, where- they are sold as trout. They aro the greatest game fish in the world and worth far more as an attraction to tourists and sportsmen than for commercial purposes. Most of those who prey upon the steelhead are Indians or half breeds, who receive a pittance for each fish caught INDIAN WARS OF SOUTHERN OREGON (From J. C. Waiting's History of Southern Oronon.)

As a result, the trout aro becoming extinct. The only practical way to prevent complete ex termination is to close the river for a number of years to commercial fishing. This will enable the trout to mul tiply and the Rogue River to become what nature intend ed it the greatest fly fishing stream in Oregon a Mecca for sportsmen from all over the world.

Grants Pass talks of building a road to tho Mnrblo Halls of Oregon. Good scheme, for the -itato of Ore gon will novor do it. Before Medford can become what it is destined to be come, a jobbing and distributing center for northern Cali- fomit and southern Oregon, she must be so recognized by the railroads and given the benefit of lower rates as well as distributing rates. Such recognition has already been given Spokane, Lewiston, Boise, Salt Lake and other in terior point, while Baker City is striving to secure similar advantages through the interstate commerce commission. An instance of how present conditions militate against the growth of this city, is shown in the case of Jones Brothers & Co., who some two years ago, came here with the intention of establishing a large vinegar factory, util izing the culls from the orchards. The best freight rate they could get from Medford to Portland was 79 cents per hundredweight, in carload quantities, a rate too high to admit of competition with established concerns else where. Jones Brothers opened a factory in "Watsonville, Cali fornia, instead of in Medford. Irom this point, quite a distance south of San Erancisco, they secure a rate of 31 cents per hundredweight to Portland by rail consider ably less than half of what they would have had to pay from Medford, one-third the distance. Medford cannot hope to realize its desthry until present rates are revolutionized. No particular blame is attached to the railroad it is the system of rate-making that is at fault. Finally, if wo sum up tho opinions ity, and certainly within tho Itoguo brought out by oloso study of nil tho.Ilivor valley, several other hostile phases of tho question ns to the or- occurrences took place, which aro igin of tho war, it scorns an unnvoid-' cusunlly mentioned in tho public nblo result of tho nnnlogy of tho va-( prints of that time.

The first is, ns Sam Bcrgur Dointcd out nt Monday's conference, Ricknrd is incxporionccd. Tho sec ond reason is that no matter how honest Ricknrd may be, tho gcnoral public will entertain a suspicion thnt tho gamblers havo grabbed tho game and will have an aco in the hole when tho big hotting begins. Ricknrd himself is said to hold this view, and it was his fear of arousing suspicion that made him reluctant in ncccpting tho job. In fact, he sincerely hopes that John son and Jeffries will ngreo on some other man. That he is a mere stalking horse, selected temporarily for the purpose of restoring confidence until such time ns tho lighters- can get together on another man, is a beliof that is justified by the circumstances.
