' VOL- XVI. MEDFORD, JACKSN COUNTY, OREGON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 26, 1904 NO. 35. M FIS8 lit Sil A Maeting of Representative Citizens Passes Resolu tions Endorsing the Means Provided for the Passage of Salmon Over the Ray Dam. , A meeting of considerable import ance to the people of Jackson county was held on Saturday, August 20,1904, at Gold Hay. At the invitation of Br. Ray a large number of represen tative citizens of the county, from Medford, Jacksonville and Gold Hill, met at Gold Ray for the purpose of investigating the conditions existing there in relation to the provision made for the passage of Hah over the dam at that point. - The invitation whb extended on account of the pro test mado by some of the people of Gold Hill, and was intended to afford an opportunity to all to see the actual state of alfairs, and to enable these people to make an unbiased report as to the existing conditions and to settle once for till the question as to whether adequate provision had been ntade for this purpose or not. After a careful inspection of the lishways provided by Dr. .Ray, the entire number, consisting of about a .hundred of the representative me1 f the -county, met for consideration the question, and after the election ' ' Dr. Adkius us chairman and J, L. Hammorsly as secretary of the meet ing, Master Fish Warden Van Dusou was invited to address the meeting, and responded with a complete ex planation of the conditions existing at the dam. "' He stated that the problem to be solved at that point was a serious one, and one which ocourred whenever such an improvement "was contem plated, but which presented a totally different aspect in each case, the conditiousvarylug on every salmon stream in the state. He volunteered the information that all of his sug gestions -had boon cheerfully complied with by 'Dr. Ruy, but ..that the doctor had, and he thought with justice, asked that such provision be made that ho should bo enabled to make the necessary provisions, once for ull, and should be relieved of further disturb ance on this account. Mr. Van Dusou further stated that better pro vision than ho required had been made, and that further improvement was in progress, and would bo soon completed, and that there would then be as complete provision made for the passuge of the lish as could be de manded, or as could be devised, ac uordiug to the latest theories relating :to such matters. After this statement by Mr. Van J)useu of the conditions existing, Dr. .Ray made a brief statement of his po 'sition, saying that he was only desir one of having his duties in the matter settled, and was entirely willing to do what ever should be found proper. He further outlined the extent of the new work in progress, showing that he was constructing a new fish way of coucrote, much better than the one rctpiirod by the authorities, and much better equipped to take care of,.the salmon, than the original way provid ed or the temporary one now in use. He further explained that every avail able means had been used to prevent damage done this season, and that tie was open to suggestions as to how to better the situation. - Mr. D. H. Miller, treasurer of Jack sou county, then explained that he had taken considerable iutorest in this matter from the beginning, and had on several occasions made cnre.'ul in spection of the situation, with a view at first of suggesting improve men 01 but that at the present time, his sug gestions had been carried out in large part, and that the present condition of affairs was satisfactory. He com pared, with considerable detail, the state ol affairs before the present im provement:) hud been made, and the present, and .showed that the impiim -ment consisted uf a change from to!;.i stoppage of the fish to a compara tively uninterrupted parage over the dam. He subst an tinted his remarks by giving figures which he had ob tained by personal observation. He also explained several of the charac teristics of the salmon which operated to relieve tlTe situation as soon as the tNh should become familiar with the existence of the dam. The most ' Interesting o his remarks, however, . consisted of his uxplanntion of the abaudoumeut ol the proposed hatch- ery at the dam. He explained that the representatives of the U. 8. rish Commission hud contemplated the es tablishment of a natcnery at tne dam. and to that end had ordered the fish ways closed, and racks erected at that point, but that, realizing that the operation of a hatchery at that point would result in thousands of dead lish being sent down the river from that place, he suggested to Dr. Ray that such n course would result iu great hardship for every one living .on the river for miles below the dam, and Dr. Ray had thereupon refused to allow the establishment of the hatch ery, and had re-opened the fish ways d compelled tne natcnery to be abandoned at that point. His ex planation of thiB matter met with great applause, partioularly from the people of Gold Hill, who were present. on beiiaii or uom mil, air. j. it. Beenmn, a capitalist of that place, informed the meeting that he had been considerably interested iu the matter, as ho had financial interests iu the city, and made his home there, and was therefore concerned iu all that affected its welfare. He auuouced that he had beeu interested in the firesentation of Gold Hill's protest to he Governor, and had signed the same, aud stated that he had done so with the idea that the situation was very different from what ho found on his arrival at Gold Ray. He ox plained that the facts as to the completion of a permanent fish way at the corner of the dam were uot known to him, or to the others iu Gold Hill at the time cf the circulation of the protest, aud that the conditions actually existing were a great surprise to him and to his assooiates. He further announc ed that ou behalf of himself aud those who had been associated with him in the forwarding of tho protest to the Governor, he had no hesitation in saying that the arrangements made in course of construction at tho dam wonld bo satisfactory to any who was fully conversant with the true state of affairs. His remarks were freely endorsed by others from Gold Hill, among whom were C. P. Young, J. L.. Hummersly and H. A. Mears, aud it was suggested that a committee be appointed to formulate resolutions to be acted upon by the meeting. Mr. D. H. Miller thou asked the attention of the meeting while he gave them a few additional figures as to the pass age of fish over the dam, saying that he had carefully counted the fish go ing through the fish way a, at the hour when the movement was lightest, aud had 'found by actual count that the fish were passing ovor tho temporary fish way at the corner of the dam at the rate of 140 per hour and over tho original fish way at the rate of 250 per hour, or i!500 per day of ten hours, this estimate being based on the pass age of the fish during the heat of the day when the movement was at its lowest point. In connection with tho number of fish killed at this point, ho stated that he hud mado eighteen visits to tho dam for tho purpose of inspection, and had at no time found more than a few dead lish, and never had he found more than had always been ftmnd in the river in various places this season. lie was followed by Mr. Hammorsly, who stated that he was a resident of Gold Hill, was postmaster there, and had the interests of the place at heart, aud had followed this mattor with in terest, but that the majorities of the signers of the Gold 11 ill protest hud never visited the dam, and were not familiar with conditions there, aud that practically none of them wore aware that the upper flshway was but a temporary structure, but that ail imagined it to be a permanent im provement, aud that no further pro vision for the fish was to be made. He further stated that the inspector made in the afternoon had satisfied all of them that the complaint waB ill advised, aud that all were satisfied with tho arrangements made and Iu course of construction. The matter of adoption of resolu tions was then considered, and upon motion, secondod by many of those present, the chair appointed a com mittee of seven, consisting of D. H, Miller, A. A. Davis and J. S. How ard, of Medford ; J. H. fieeman and O. F. Young, of Gold Hill; John Mib lor and T. J. Keiiuoy, of Jacksonville, to draft such resolutions aud submit them to the meeting for approval. The committee shortly reported the following resolutions which were unanimously adopted by the meeting, and signed by a majority of those present at the meeting, the balance having already left for home. After tho signiug of the resolutions, the meeting adjourned, all of those pres ent saying that they greatly appre ciated the opportunity given them to see for themselves what the state of alfairs really were, and expressing complete satisfaction with conditions as they found them. The resolutions follow: WHi'jKBAS. certain complaints have been made in regard to tin? condition of affairs at Gold Kay, in .Jackson county.

Tiie primary object of the meeting wus to extend the authority of the Light and Water committee in the matter of tho pmrhfiHo of a pump for the iiw of the city. At the regular August meeting the committee was authorized to purehtiM1 a pump with u crtpacity of 'V) gellons n;r minute, (i was fonnil that this pump would be too small, so at the meeting lucsdny the committee wore authorized to uho their own judgment as to the size and capacity of the pump to be bought and were also empowered to secure a motor suitable for operating it. ' The bond of the Condor Water aud Power Co., in the sum of -85000, to secure the performance of its contract vith the city, was presented. The final acceptance was postponed until the regular meeting. There was a technical error iu the dating of tho bond, in that it was dated August 2d, when the contract was made on Au gust 3d, There was also a clause in the agreement which, in the. opinion of the oounollmen, had been violated by a representative of tho company; or which was uot being carried out as they understood it woidd be, hence it was thought best to have it mod ified to conform with its seeming in tent before it was signed. License to sell liquor was granted to Kupmck & Kennedy. EUROPEAN NOVELTIES. Riiigling This Brothers . Circus Progrom Year Brimful of Unique Foreign Acts. There are more exclusive European novelties iu the great prog rum of Kingling Brothers Worlds Greatest Soows this sousou than were over bo fore gathered in a cirouB performance in th a countrv. It is tho first an f better illustrated. The most sensational riding acts ever performed are to be seoti at each performance in the unique feats of the four El dreda. These riders have astonished all ! Europe by their extraordinary equestrianism. Four people jumping from tne ground to a running nor.se s hack at exactly tne same time, jump ing backwurd at the same instaift to the same living position, side somer saulting ovor two fleeting horses, aud oxecnting difficult acrobatic -feu u wliue all lour are on too uacK or a speeding horso, are several of the deods that they accomplish that were never before. The fpur Jilldrods are without a peer iu tho world on sensa tional bareback riding. Tho four Bediuta, Parisian idols, are also in this high class, aud make their first upponrauce -hm'o with lUngling Broth era. Thoy introduce riding and leap ing dog in their novel and hazardous acts.

The sheep belonged to Mouow & Koenaii, uf Prineville, aud this attack is the first that has been made on "homo" sheep, the other slaughters being of sheep owned out side tho districts in which they oc curred. In view of the compromise between the cattle and sheepmen mado two months agu, it is thought that the kiiIIL, iUht rvidnv was done bv irre sponsible parties, who had nothing in view except the wanton destruc tion of property.
