I'urt The protected II nine salnnm fishing moiiopnly at the mouth of the Rogue imw enjoys the largest open season in the state, but two closed seasons in spring anil fall of thirtv-five davs each bciiur observed. The recent Icjnsla- tui'e ai-'ain showed its narlialitv to this inouoiiolv, which i for thirl)' years lias accumulated millions at the expense of all southern Oregon, and rejected the master fish war den's bill shortening the season. Jlannony now reigns on the Columbia, both states having agreed upon a law that provides the following closed seasons: Spring close, from VI o'clock noon, March 1, to 12 o'clock noon, May 1. Fall close, from 12 o'clock noon, August '!, to 12 o'clock noon, September 10. A weekly close of 21 hours, beginning at 0 o'clock p. in. Saturday and extending to i o'clock p. m. Sunday, is also provided. a Jt is believed these closed seasons will give the salmon the protection they have long needed and will be the means of allowing a great percentage of them to reach the hatcheries anil spawning grounds in the headwaters of the various streams. But no such protection for salmon in the Rogue is granted. There is no closed Sunday, no two months' sea son in the spring. The Hume interests have 2!)" days in the year to fish. The Columbia river fishers have but 211 days. .No wonder salmon are diminishing each year and steelhead becoming exterminated.

Seventh street, or that portion of it paved, has served as a good object lesson to citizens of Medford as to the need of paving. The contrast between paved ami unpaved need of paving. The contrast between paved and unpaved streets was never brought out sharper than it is here. Already petitions are being circulated to extend the paved area. Paving costs money, but property owners have ten years to pay for it in, and the increase in the value of property due to the pavement amply justifies the expenditure. Owners who object to paying for the cost of improve ments that, appreciate their property are shortsighted. They are in the same category with the grangers who killed the Johnson good roads bill in the house because gootl roads would increase taxes, forgetting that poor roads maroon the farmer at certain seasons, depreciate the value of his properly and entail a far heavier burden upon him through inability to reach markets than taxes could possibly make. The paved street, area of Medford is the district in which properly and properly values will advance the dis trict that will improve so see thai your property gets in it- t -j . i.l JACKSO.X FACllTU IX VMAWTIOX.
