Many men who have dropped their gov ernment insurance have inquired how they can continue their insurance. Upon discharge they did not realize the benefits and privileges of the government insur ance, and only upon their return home, and when they understood the subject thoroughly did they realize ftie folly of drdpplng insurance.

( Com m uu teat eil) Every year about this Hlmo there comes a great howl and wall from the Jackson county Krtsmen that no tlah are getting, ovr the Anient dam and that consequently the fly fishing on the upper Itogue is utter ly ruined. '''' If these aaine sportsmen would stop their yapping and yowllng-and come down the river and Investigate, they would find conditions altogeth er different from what they Imagine exists. These same sportsmen seem to be entirely Ignorant or tho habits of the steelhads. It Is a well known tact that all the summer stoethends that we take on the fly come from the Pav-tflc ocean. The rim begins about June 1st, and by that time the water In the Uloue In the vicinity ot Anient dam is beginning to gut pretty warm and the eteelheads do not linger but run straight through for the colder water of the upper Rogue. Fly fishing In the upner rogue, begins a month earlier as a usual thing than it does in the reach of water near Grants Pass and we have good fishing a month earlier than is 'found in the river near On He and Almeda. 25 to 30 miles farther down. Ijrt us take this season tor ex ample. .Vol a steelhead has been taken below the lAment dam with a fly this season, and not more than halt a dozen with the spinner. There are no fish congregated below the Anient dam and workmen who are repairing the dam report the steel heads and salmon going through by the thousands; mostly sieelheads. it was reported by good authority the Jackson county deputy game and fish iwaidens that several nice catches of steelheads were taken be tween tBytiee bridge and the npper bridge last Sunday with the fly. Not one was taken below Anient dam al though a number ot good fishermen ttled it out. If the Jackson county sportsmen would spend more time studying the habits of the fish and less time get ting together to yowl nbout condi tions at the Anient dam they would get much greater enjoyment out of the sport. y PRESIDENT IS SHY (Continued from page II any foreign power In South or Cen tral America. . The .president gave the senators to understand that he used strong ef forts to Induce tho Japanese govern-) ment to sjate definitely the time of their expected withdrawal from the captured poeexHiun In the Orient. He expects at an early date to re ceive some assurance on this point, The president Indii-itcd he wanted the American people to reullze the delicacy of his position In the Irish ! question. Senator Phelan said he fully realized this. Iter Senator PhelnJi was asked what could be done for Ireland If the RrltlRh gov ernment refused to grant her .autonomy. "Nothing, except by a war with England," he replied. "Hfut no one proposes a war should be waged with England tor the sole purpose of lib erating Ireland. England has tech nical legal possession of Ireland und she denies the Jurisdiction or fie conference to disturb her title until she Is ready to consider It. England should yield autonomy to Ireland, however, If she sincerely concedes the principle of self-determination and wishes 'to establish peace in the world." .
