ROGUE RIVER FISHING.
Med ford continues Its opposition
to the Rogue river finning Mil. Its
latest endeavor was an effort to get
an adverse report from the attorney
general's office as to the legality
Of the measure.
Much of this opposition coiut-s
from a misunderstanding of the
farts In the cane and much of It was
created by fishermen who in years
past were not always rareful enough
In observing the provisions of the
fishing regulations. The catching ol
the salmon In the stream during
properly regulated seasons will bene
fit rather than Injure the sport fish
ing of the stream, and as It Is the
sport fishing that our Jackson coun
ty friends profess to bo Interested
In preserving, It would seem rea
sonable that they would not oppose
the commercial fishing whero It Is
closoly hedged about by stringent
and observed regulations. But they
ay that the laws have not always
been observed, and that to open the
river at all has acted as a screen be
hind which the law could be violat
ed. In this they have undoubtedly
bad some cause for complaint In the
past, and unfortunately the sins of
many, even some of Jackson coun
ty's fishermen, have been charged
up to Grants Pass. Tho men who
benefit by this commercial fishing
are the very ones who should Insist
upon the rigid and complete en
forcement of the law. Tho law Is
constructed upon lines that will
serve both the man who fishes for
money and the man who dunes for
sport. There need be no conflict If
those who fish for money are willing
to abide by the reasonable regula
tions Imposed, and not attempt to
piece out their earnings by Illicit
fishing. This agitation for a closed
stream has been brought about
largely through the fear that it
would let down the bars, and that
Illegal fishing would result. In
Grant. Pass the sentiment among
all fishermen Is for complete law en
forcement, and every man will as
sist In seeing that the law Is en
forced to the letter. If changes are
needed Inter they con bo recommend
ed to the legislature.
Undauntedly tho greatest value of
tho Hogue lies In Its scenic beauty
and the Mort which It offers to tho
fisherman. The dollars that come
through commercial fishing are some
what more uoticenlile than those that
are brought In by tho sportsman, but
they are no more numerous. The
sport fishing us an asset Is seen In
the muny desirable citizens who have
located here because of the fame of
the stream, and the visitors who
come to enjoy the angling privileges
of the river. This condition Is fully
realized In Grants Puss, and here
the citizens ore as anxious to see the
fishing of tho stream , "reserved as are
the Medford people. The present
commercial law, enforced as It will
be with the. local sentiment strong
for Its enforcement, can work only
for the benefit of all. Should it prove
otherwise, a large majority of the
people of this city will favor Its re
peal. There Is no real difference In
tho way that this question Is looked
at by Medford and Grants Pass. The
two can meet on a common ground,
and each see Its desires fully accomp
lished. WANT ELK FOR JOSEPHINE.
A meeting of tho Grants Pass
Gamo and Fish Protective Assoilatlon
has been called to meet at tho Com
mercial club rooms next Monday
night, a number of Important mat
ters to come up for consideration at
that time. The movement for the
planting of elk In this county baa
gained considerable headway, and
the application for the antlered mon
archs will be put In shape for pre
sentatlon to the proper authorities at
that time. It is also proposed to
take definite action toward assisting
the authorities In every way possible
In the complete enforcement of the
laws regarding the taking of fish
from Rogue river. It Is urged that
not only members of the association,
but all others who are Interested In
the cause, be present.
THB MINERAL EXHIBIT.
It behooves Josephine county to
make her exhibit at the meeting of
the Mining Congress, to be held In
i Redding, Cat., May 21-24, as com
ij.leie and comprehensive as possible.
'Already this county has gained the
.reputation of having the greatest de
posits of mineral In the west, and the
exhibits made at Spokane, Yreka, and
i
othcr places where mining men have
met in convention, have sustained
the reputation, and have been the
direct means of bringing many In
vestors Into the territory.
To be exhibited at the Redding
congress it will be necessary to have
the ores sent within a few days, but
'tho old display should be augmented
by as many new samples as possible.
New strikes are being made here
Icontlnually, and a few fresh ores
jadded to the old will let people
know that this Is a live mining dis
trict that has the values In the
ground.
The secretary of the congress, in
writing to President Herzlnger from
Redding under the date of May 2,
says: "We are Informed that your
county Is far ahead of California
counties In the extenslveness of ycir
exhibit, and If you bring the display
that I understand that you had In
Treka, our big mining counties will
have to move with increased energy
to surpass your exhibit. It Is there
fore In a sense a matter of pride with
uc to know what you are going to
ship bo we can be In some measure
prepared to meet the challenge of
Josephine county, magnificent dis
play." Every mining man who has some
thing good In sight In his prospect
or his mine, should bring In a sample
and have It sent to Redding. This
county Is showing great activity Just
now In a mining way, and proper
showing at Redding may Interest
Just the man who is needed to supply
the funds to make producers of some
of the mines that are now lying Idle.
VOCATIONAL EDUCATION.
Only three countries In the world,
China, with a population of 350,000,
000, India with 295,000,000, and
Russia with 140,000,000 have a
greater population than the Unitad
States. The last estimate of the
treasury place, the population of the
United States at 96,000,000, says the
Nations Business.
This great nation has grown up
within two lifetimes. There is a
man living in Washington, D. C, at
tho present time, ninety-eight years
of nge, whose father fought at tho
battle of Hunker Hill. That battle

"OLD BOS" TO WEAR THE
CROWN.
j The trend of the times, so far ns
:they effect the Rogue valley, was
I demonstrated when a car of Jersey
stock for Ardencralg ranch, on the
jApplegate, arrived In Grants Pass
'Tuesday.
For the past few years the energy
of the vallev has been elven over to
horticulture, and dairying, fori
'which Industry the valley is prob -
ably as well suited a. any district In
the west, has been carried on in a
very small way. Now there is nn
awakening, however, and the pic -
ture of "Old Bos" will take its right
ful place In the center of the Rogue
'coat of arms. This shipment of
stock to Ardencralg Is but the fore
'runner of others, and the year wU
j.how a thousand new dairy cattle In
j the territory tributary to Grants
Pass. This statement is made ad-
jVlsedly, and Is borne out by the re
sports from the committees that have
I been soliciting for the new Rogue
valley creamery. In all parts of the
valley the land owners are looking
to the cow, and acres are being
planted down to alfalfa to provide
the bovine banquet
