The people must know that the Rogue question is going to be an is sue till it is settled right. At its meeting in Portland laat week, the state sportsmen's league authorized the initiation ot an amendment to the Mate constitution which, if adopted, will no doubt go far in laying low the Rogue ghost that has been ever present before legislatures and vo ter* at election time. The league en dorsed a measure that will put such questions as the commercial fishing on the Rogue up to the voters of the affected district* It would have the state divided into districts, the dis tricts to be determined by the water shed of the various streams. Thus, if such an amendment were adopted, the manner and method of taking fish from Rogue river for commer- dal purposes would be regulated by the people residing in Josephine Curry and Jackson counties, If they desired to prohibit the use of the seine, or make other changes in the regulations affecting the stream, it would be done by initiation and vote of the people within the three coun ties. The regulation of commercial fishing on the Umpqua, which is wholly within Douglas county, would be determined by vote of the peo ple of that county. Thus selfish In terests, such as the Macleay can nery interest on the Rogue, would not be able to carry the question to and then defeated through the ref- erendum instituted by the Macleay interests, was satisfactory to the people of theae three counties. The present condition is not satifactory. WhereYour Dollar Goe Some people think, off-hand, that if they could get Electric Service cheaper they could very appreciably re duce the cost of living. How incorrect this assumption is will be recognized instantly when you stop to consider that of the average householders monthly expenditures only a fraction over seven per cent goes to the electric company. In other words, only a little more than sev en cents out of every dollar of expentliture i« «pent for electric service. And yet from seven per cent of your ex penditure«. your meals are cooked; water is heated for kitchen, bath and laundry; your home is lighted; and often rooms are heated comfortably. A. reduction in the coat of electric service, which repre sent* but 7 per cent of your household expense, could hardly be expected to so much as cans* a perceptible decrease in the cost of living. It would be to your advantage to investigate our com bined cooking and lighting rate. California-Oregon Power Co. Grants Pass, Oregon the MI ms I sh I pp I river has been severe ly injured by tbe ruvage« of the lies- ■ man fly. Som* fields in Indiana. 11-1 linois and Ohio will be plowed up a« a result of the "fly" damage. The West Central states are rei»ort«»d as having a good snow covering which will give much protection from the recent cold weather. This latter con- dition also prevails in Oregon. The recent heavy snowfall will greatly In- crease the moisture content of the soli, thus improving prospects for yield per acre next harvest. i ••» Lr;rg Tl.-tlte Ate Wessons. ■ <f <!n ct- uldde strongly n i ; rt'tlhlon- ml cutdwnift of t foi •.•■tber« mill In living up to • -■« nt- tunny of file modern «!• ■ - uf -itrilt:i;|i>n .inti hygiene are .id di th« it prngroMi.
