Cranston, chairman of the state

Van Winkle's opinion as
from Cranston said In part:
"While you do not state the con

Informed by the letter of A. E.
ReameB, representing the Rogue Riv

it Is claimed the conflict is between
the provisions in the title to 'pro

Rogue river or any of its tributaries,
at or above the mouth of the Illinois
river or from the Illinois river or Its
tributaries any fish of any kind, ex

called angling,' and section five of
the act which does not absolutely
prohibit the taking of fish from
Rogue river above the mouth of the
Illinois river, but leaves open sea
sons when fish can be taken and reg
ulates the taking thereof."
After citing various court opin
ions and rules of law, the opinion
says:
"For these reasons it seems to me
that the statute, while there may te

What Public Spirited Man Is Doing
For Small Towns.
A civic experiment which should be
of interest to small towns In every
state Is being carried out In Ohio. Its
success thus far has led to an unusual
offer.
Five towns which first accept tho
conditions of the gift will receive $1,000
each from William E. Harmon of New
York. The offer Is made to towns hav.
lng a population of less than 7,000.
Through It Mr. Harmon hopes to ex
tend work of the sort which Is being
carried on by the Civic trust of Leb
anon. O., established by him in his na
tive town.
The offer applies to the provision of
a permanent playground and gymna
sium adequate to the needs of the com
munity Involving an investment of not
less than $10,000. It Is limited to such
movements as begin after or take their
Incentive from the announcement and
to a period of two years from the date
of their publication.
Mr. Harmon himself tells how he
suddenly realized that as a village boy
he had no place to play ball Believing
that the greatest permanent value at
taches to the gifts of land, be decided
to try out In Lebanon a plan to provide
recreation and stimulate civic spirit
The small park has gymnasium facili
ties, playground and a swimming pool
and skating pond formed by the "Kids'
dam," as It has already been named.
Under competent and promotional di
rection, the undertaking has awakened
a dormant community Into a variety of
social and co-operative activities. An
endowment yielding $3,000 a year has
been provided, nnd the management Is
lodged In a board of seven trustees act
ing under the name of the Civic trust
of Ibanon.
The example has struck root, and
others have mnde gifts to the town for
various purposes The results of his
Initial experiment have been so encour
aging thnt Mr. Harmon greatly desires
to Induce other towns to establish sim
ilar trusts.
Enjoyed What Ho Paid For.
It is interesting to note the effect
that reputation has on those who are
not good critics of the efforts of public
performers, as a clerk In a downtown
bank was telling.
"I happen to know a celebrated con
cert nrtlst," he snid. "Ono evening
she was in the city and hnd noth
ing to do. so she came up to our very
humble flat In Harlem to spend a quiet,
homelike hour or two. The night was
warm, and the windows were open.
After dinner she sat down at tho piano
and sang several Bongs for us. The
next day I hoard that ono of our neigh
bors complained loudly about the 'yell
ing' In our flat and said that such nui
sances ought to be prohibited. Two
nights later that same neighbor paid
i a sent for himself, his wife and his
daughter to bear our friend sing at a
concert." New York Sun.
Ptolemy's Big Boat.
rtolemy (I'hllopator) was fond of
building big boats. One of these Is
said to have been 420 feet long, 67 feet
broad nnd 72 feet deep from the high
est point of the stern. This vessel hnd
four rudders or what some would call
steering ours, as they were not fasten
ed, each forty -five feet long. She car-
rled 4,000 rowers, besides 3,000 ma
rines, a large body of servants under
her decks nnd stores and provisions,
ner oars were fifty-seven feet long.
and the handles were weighted with
lead. There were 2,000 rowers on a
side, and It Is supposed that these were
divided Into five banks. That this ex
traordlnary vessel ever put to sea is
doubted, but that she was launched
and used at times. If only for display,
several historians are agreed.
MARSIIFIELD, May 6. The trial
of J. S. Barton, Coos county repre
sentative in the state legislature,
was begun In the circuit court at
Coquille today before Judge J. S.
Coke. Barton was Indicted on a
charge of assault, the complainant be
ing Maude Yoakam. The assault Is al
leged to have taken place In Bar
ton's office.
A crusade movement figured In
the Indictment of Barton, a petition
asking that the matter be investigat
ed having been presented to the
grand Jury.
PORTLAND. May 6. First de
gree murder Is the charge filed to
day against Mrs. Lillian Strang, who
poisoned her three children, then
used a revolver upon two of them
and herself. One child, Marcta, five
years old, died yesterday from the
effects of the attack. The two other
children are Improving and It Is be
lieved they will live. Msr. Strang Is

RAILROADS IN GERMANY.
ho Danger of a Train Starting Until
Everything a "Ready."
A returned traveler w ho spent much
of his time, lu Ceuuuny drifted into
the observation of ruilromiiug In the
empire. He rode the must on local
trains, though not having a set pur
pose, aud proceeled only for short dis
tances. Ou one of these vibrant trips he had
surrendered his ticket and had nothing
on his mind but his destination when
the conductor came nnd said:
"Extra fare, please."
"Why?" demanded the experienced
voyager.
"Because." answered the conductor,
"we have cut out five stops and the
train Is now an express."
Tho recollection of the writer runs
back to the time when as a small boy
he first beheld the stnrt of a German
railroad trnln. The Impression Is self
evidently vivid to have lasted so long.
First there was a prodlgous pow
wow between the heud baggageman
and the porters, who argued excitedly
over tho disposal of trunks. Every
thing awnlted the conclusion of their
Jabbering nnd the loading of the car.
Nobody else seemed ntilnmted or even
concerned. The conductor looked on
stoically, nnd the engineer phlegmatl
enlly talked to a bystander on the plat
form. The Inst trunk In. tho bncgnge smash

or went to the end of the trnln. nnd the
guards stationed themselves alongside
at Intervals. All eyes wero on the en
gineer. He climbed Into his cab, dis
posed himself on his sent In a leisurely
way and protruded his bend from the
window.
"Fertlg?" he Inquired of the first
guard, who turned to the second also
to ask "fertlg?" This was repeated
along to the last car. where the signal
system doubled on its trail. It having
been ascertained that everything was
"fertlg." the Information .was relayed
to the engineer, who nodded solemnly
and turned tr hl sent. A bell tinkled,
the crossing gates (numerously manned
to prevent stilclilet arose, and the train
pulled out with the pomposity that
characterizes everything oillclal In
