THE WATER PROBLEM.
I,v
A uiiijortt y of the citizens of Med
ford bnve the fullest f iiufidini-o in the
special water cnuiiuitti f the city
council and in it judgment.
The committee examined nil avail
tilde water supplies and did not take
suup judgment in choosing W.-itmon Can
yuli Springs. A thorough investigation
wan ninile.
II will be at least a year before the
pipeline can lie built. .In the meantime
I lie. quantity of water available ean be
determined when the flow is lowest in
August.
About the inalily of Wansnil Canyon
Springs thi're in no ipicstiou. I'lieinii-iil
aualy.siH kIiowh il superior to any other
water near Medford.
If the iuaulity is not suf I'iciciil , there
is plenty of water in the l.iltle Unite
that ean be secured.
1 It will be months yet before uuylhiiig
is done. In the meantime the eity is
amply pndeeted by a guarantee bond.
Nil engineer is going lo sllil.e his repll
talion by building a water system
where there is no water.
The Tribune has loyally supported
the water eornaiiltee al every stage ami
will enntinue its support. Il prinled
the other side, as il prints all sides
of all iiieslions. so I luil the peu.le may
know all sides of this ijuestioa ami pub

PROTECTING THE SALMON.
There are two fishing bills before
the people lo be voted upon ill June,
line fulllered by the Astoria fishermen
and the other by the up river fisher
men.
The Astoria bill would stop all rish
iug on Hie upper river, under pretense
that fish wheels eniise Ho- annual fall
ing off in the inn of sain This is
absurd, for probably II.". per eeiil of tin-
sal II are eaught in nets in the lower
river, and only an extended elose.l sea
sou and rigid regulation of all kinds of
gear gill nels, traps, seines and wheels
will prevent the total exlinelion of sal
mna.
There seems no limit to the greed of
Astoria fishermen. They would delib
erntelv ileslruv Hie industry in the fu
ture for present gain, and eau always
be fouiut impeding needed remedial leg
islatioli.
luitialive bill MIS, fathered by up
tier river iateresls, eomes nearer solving
Hie problem than any measure vol in
trnililfed. It is favored by the Tailed
States bureau of fisheries and by III
new master fish warden, and provides
real proteelion for the salmon by ex
tending the rinsed season nuil regulat
iag all kinds of fish hiking gear.
