FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER, 20, 1011. WEEKLY ROGUE RIVER COURIER PAGE THREE DR. SMITH TAKES GOVERNOR TO TASK Dr. J. C. Smith, member of the leg islature from Josephine county, In an' Interview with The Courier, takes a hard rap at Governor Oswald Wcai, as a result of the governor's position and statements regarding a proposed extra session to create good roads leg islation. Dr. Smith talked as follows: "The only question Governor West should consider, If he is honest In his assertions that he is in favor of good roads legislation, is whether the in terests of the state demand that such legislation should be created. If ho finds that it would be advantageous to the state to have good roads,, it is his duty to call the legislature to gether in extra session, and after the members assemble he can send his message advising then of impor tant points that he wants them to consider. ACTOR FISHERMAN BEFORE THE COURT James Dunn, an actor keeping a short engagement at one of the local theaters, Wednesday afternoon was declared "not guilty," when arrested for fishing without a license, and thereby hangs a tale. Dunn and his wife were taking In the beauties of : Rogue river, down at that portion In the vicinity of the steel bridge on Sixth street. They heard much talk of the many fish In the stream, and decided to try their luck. So Dunn borrowed a pole and line and with his spouse took up a position at the dam near the bridge, and was In tently watching for a "bite," when Game Warden Wright hove in sight and arrested the actor for fishing at a dam. The disciple of Booth was j presented to Justice John Holman, a Jury trial was demanded. Then the question arose as to whether the Edam was a dam; whether it was a "When the governor, however, af-Ple ' rubbish or a real Simon-pure ter vetoing some 72 bills, among flam- To make the matter safe, the which were good roads and other complaint was changed, and Dunn bills of importance to the rest of j Put 011 trial for fishing without a li the state, finds he has made a mis- i cense.
