Air. Clanton has "made good" during his short tenure. Moreover, he is the type of man who always makes good, familiar with every detail of the fishing industry, famil iar through residence with all sections of the state, with a knowledge of local conditions and desires that it has tak en years to acquire, wjlli a most enviable record as a law enforcer, regardless of politics, no more suitable appoint ment could be made.

But what use will the law be if not enforced? Already preparations are under way for its open violation. Fishing industries at the mouth arc reported to be preparing to operate as usual, taking their catches to the Port Orford cannery, some miles north of the mouth of the Rogue. The authorities must; prepare for a strenuous time in an iso lated section m enlorcing the law. Mr. Clanton possesses the advantage of being thorough ly familiar with the conditions existing along the Rogue river, where for the past three years he has, as deputy as well as chief, enforced the observance of existing laws among a lawless class. He has 'proven his ability to handle such a situation as will exist next year, and he ought by all means to be given the opportunity. Air. Clanton is, so far as known, the only southern Ore goncandidatc for state office and this section certainly merits consideration. DISINFECTANTS 187 BE USED Dr. J. E.

TVTOTV is the time to improve your premises and increase -Li their attractiveness and raise their value bv tree plaining. Don't wait until spring, like many did last year, to find it too late for the trees to live. Jf the street in front of your place was paved and side walks left up in the air, get busy and e-rade if. so it wil improve Uotli the looks ol the lot and the street. Do you realize that money spent in improving the ap pearance of your home is money well invested? That if you ever want to sell, your place, if beautified, will, find a much readier sale at a higher figure than .if unimproved? Ask any realty dealer, and he will tell you that prop erty on improved streets is about the only residence pro) erty the new comer will purchase. And if you have a shad ed avenue in front of you, the sale is much easier made. So from a dollar and cents standpoint, if no nofher, go to work and improve your premises. Hut every citizen of Mori ford ought to have pride enough in Aledford, apart from (he commercial viewpoint, to willingly co-operate in the effort in beautify Medford ought o have personal pride enough Io improve his own nroperty so that Aledford can be made indeed the citv beau-. til ul. i J.
