GRANTS PASS, Or., March 15.
The telephone situation, to all appear
nnccs, baa quieted dowu iit this city.
Howover, the business men are alert to
any trickery that the Citizers ' Tele
phono people might pin up. In re
Ki.rd to their asserting that ihe vole on
the mnyur ti veto was irregular, (lie
matter is taken as a huge joke. The
mayor, city auditor and police judge
nnd pity attorney, together with sev
er:.! of the citizens who were present at
the last council meeting, have investi
gated the matter and have found that
there is no chance for t lie Citizens' Tel
ephone people to crawl in under the
innvjiH, The filing of affidavits by
some of the conneilmcn that the meet
ing was irregular turns out to be only
n bluff for the Citizens' telephone peo
ple to gain time and hold tin1 matter
up until after the election at Medford.
There are many peculiar cireum
Dtnnees that have recently come to light
in the matter that look st range. For
instance, one of the prime movers in
t he Citizens ' Telephone eomnany is
Arthur Cnnklin, publisher uf the Pa
cific Outlook. Councilman Fetsch was
formerly a strong antagonist of Mr.
Oonklin, but has been doing everything
he could to further the cause uf the Cit
izens' Telephone company. Council
man Higgn is a new man in the city,
nnd when lie was elected it was n ques
tion whether he was qualified to take
his seat in the council, ns it was a
question whether he had resided in the
city one year. Ho has been talked tu
by the best business men of the city,
e.nd his excuse for staging by the fran
chise was that he had promised to do
no and would have to stay by his prom
ire, but intimated that if he had a
(hniien to buck out he would do so. Nev
ertheless, he was one of the first to
wear to an affidavit that tin voting
on the mayor's veto was irregular.
City Attorney Ceorge II. Durham re
turned from Portland the first of the
week, where ho met gentleman who
in familiar with telephone affairs. Mo
fore meeting the gentleman in Port
land, Mr. Durham was inclined to favor
the Citizens' Telephone people, but now
he has changed as the report that he
brought back with him is not very fa
vorable. If the matter ohould come to a vote
of the people there is no question that
it would be turned down, as the matter
has been so thoroughly discussed that
they nrc acquainted with the situation ;
and object of getting a franchise. Many
people at first would against the old;
company because they were a eorpo- j
re.tion, but they have now realized that j
the new company would nb.o be a cor
purr.tion, nnd if one is an evil they .
would then have two evils. Also it is,
thought that the Citizen Telephone J
company do nut intend to construct a
telephone system, but that they only
want a franchise fur what they can
gel out of it. The people of this city
consider it a purely promotion scheme, '
and the jeople are not in favor of grant- 1
ing them a franchise gratis end giving j
them something for not hi nil to specie,
Int' with. That the Citizens' Tele
phone company will never get a fran- :
chine in this eity is a foregone conclu
sion, as n franchise is a valuable thing
rnd should not be given away promis
cuously. Many Medford citizens took .id.:'n

Bowers Writes That Con
servation of Commercial
Fishes Is Worth More
to Oregon Than Game
Fishes Are
The federal government, according to
a letter received from George M. How
era of the bureau of fisheries of Wash
ington, is of the opinion that the con
servation of the salmon fishery on
Rogue river is of much greater impor
tance than the fishing of sportsmen.
They believe in propaimtinc the com
mercial fishes of the country, less than
.'I per cent of all the fish propagated
being what tnav be termed game fishes.
They believe that th revenue to the
country is greater when derived from
the commercial interests than from the
advertising and benefits derived from
making a fishing stream a meeen for
tourists.
It is the intention of the bureau to
contract for the collection of eggs from
the early summer run of salmon at Ily
be bridge, which inans that the racks
must be installed nut later than the
middle of May or firnt of .Tune, if the
weather conditions permit. The col
lection uf eggs from the later run of
sal mon will be mnde at Fin ley eddy,
racks being installed so as to close the
river about September 1.
Quoting from Commissioner Dowers'
letter: "The chief function of the bu
reau of fisheries is to conserve the coin
mrrcial fishes of the country. Tt is be
lieved that the revenue to the country
end more part icnlarly to the inhabi
tants of the state of Oregon, is due to
the conservation of salmon fisheries on
the Rogue river in of much more impor
tance than the fishing of sportsmen.
However, the bureau iH giving some
ttentmn to the gam? fishing in Ore
gun, although it seems preferable that
the state should so far as possible look
after that branch of the service.

GAME WARDEN
WILL ASSIST CHARLES GAY IN
PROTECTION COUNTY GAME
WATCHING THE HUNTERS VERY
CLOSELY.
H. O. Stevenson, state game warden,
panned through Medford Saturday on
his return home after visiting Jackson
and Klamath counties on official busi
ness. Primarily to hi.i district was made
to ascertain why these two comities has
lave paid nothing in the way of fines
to the game law, bofh of them being
splendid game countie:;. Mr. Nteveasun
stated that he would appoint Sam San
dry to assist Charles Gay in looking
after the protection of game in this
county. Between th two men the law
will be strictly enforced, and it will go
hard with those who have been in the
habit of violating ;l,e game code, if
they persist in their transgression.
Mr. Gay has lately beeu doing con
siderable work along these lines, and
left Monday fur the Big Butte country,
where he has his eye on two or three
who have been violating the law. Last
week he secured considerable evidence
and has stopped tu a certain extent Ihe
1 1 a IT ic in venison. Mr. Sundry has
been out with him on a number of trips
getting unto the ropen and will make
his headquarters probably in Gold Hill
looking after that section.
"I am confident," said Mr. Steven
on, "that with these two men in ac
tion the game in Jackson county will
be limply protected. Hereafter the
state game warden's office will bo run
upon st riclly business principles, and
no political pull v-ill have the least
influence. If Ihe office cannot be run
