Or., Jan. 1. With 100 charter members " the Ashland Fish and Game Protective association was formed here Friday night and an ac tive campaign is being waged to bring the membership up to 300 at least. The primary aim of the organisation is to aid in tne movement for the clos ing of Rogue' river to commercial fish ing, but the association will lend its influence to the protection of fish and game, generally as well and baa al ready taken up several problems re lating to the fame laws. Hon- E. D. Brlggs is the president of the organization, Harry Hosier Vice president, Louis Dodge secretary and D. Peroxzl-treasurer. With the afore said . oh the board of control are Charles! Robertson, Sim Morris and Jack Bailey, all prominent sportsmen and. business men of the city. austnesa Men Interested. , . Business men of Ashland generally are behind the closed river fight on the ground that steelhead and trout fishing in the Rogue is one of the most valuable tourist attractions of the valley and that the commercial fishing as at present carried on at the mouth of the river is ruining this fish ing in the upper river. At its Friday meeting tha local club authorized the sending of delegates to Salem when the Rogue river closing comes up before the legislature. Other valley organizations with like aims, of which there are several, wilt also send delegates. More Screens, ladders Wanted. The inadequacy of fish screens and ladders in the valley and on Rogue river was discussed and toe club de cided to offer all possible aid in mak ing these better and more efficient and to help secure any needed legislation in this respect. The club also went on record as fa voring the, extension of the grouse season to ' correspond with the deer season, favoring leaving the deer sea son as it is at present and urging the passage of a law which would permit the taking of a limited nam ber of salmon by gaff or spear. A joint meeting of the protective associations of the valley is planned for the near future when a concerted plan of action will be entered upon for the betterment of fishing condi tions in the Rogue river.

Lacking in brilliancy as compared with the Span ish caprice, the legends was, however, a more difficult work, for the very daintiness of its construction demands faultless technique and masterly In terpretation, and Sunday's perform ance had both. Franz Schubert's Andante with vari ations on the theme from "Death and fthe Maiden" from the famous string quartet in D minor, played by violins, violas and cellos, received the usual applause that all string numbers al ways receive.

Death Follows Fall On an Icy Pavement Chicago. Jan. 1. (I. N. S.) Icy pavements caused another death here yesterday. John Stryker died as the result of a fall on the ice. Stryker was car superintendent or the Chicago sur- concert of the season. It was indeed encouraging to the musicians to be greeted by such a capacity house on the eve' of ths new year. Mose Chris tensen conducted, and brought out ef fects that merited the generous ap plause. Carl Grlssen, concert master, had more than his share of the difficult position for the program numbers, as it happened, contained not only several incidental solos for one violin in the first string section, but also a con spicuous cadenza in the Spanish Ca price by Rimsky-Korsakoff. Mr. Orls sen was fully equal to the occasion. It mlght.be said right here that the cadenza, as it recurred for flute, oboe, clarinet and finally, with beautiful arpeggios for the two harps, was one of the Jewels of the caprice. Bonors to Closing Bnaber. lozart's "Jupiter" symphony was the principal feature, and while it is a delightful work and was flawlessly performed, the honors of the day went tloned "Capricio Espagnol," by the ; rac unes- modern Russian composer . with the hyphenated name. Nicolas A. Rimsky-Korsakoff was not always a composer. He began life as a naval cadet, and gradually turned his attention to musical study. This perhaps accounts for the fact that his works breath the very life of the peo ple he depicts. "Capricio Espagnol" may be built upon Spanish motifs, it has enough of the clatter of the Casta net and the fandango rhythm to give T. Shipman at Dalles Held for La Grande The Dalles, Or.. Jan. 1.
