After weeks of tedious waiting the
fishermen on the river are at last be-
ginning to make a few small catches,
and fresh salmon is on the Central
Point bill of fare. Pankey & onley
caught 24 fine fish Sunday night and
sold them out quickly here Monday
morning. It has been claimed by the
fishermen along this stretch of the
river that an obstruction in the river at
Grants Pass prevented the fish Uom
coming farther up than that place, but
if such was the casP it must have been
removed a few days ago. There was
not a fish in the river until Sunday, in
the neighborhood of Bybee's bridge,

Detelopment league Meets
An important meeting of the exe<'u-
tive committee of the Ro~1 e Rn er
Valley Development leagur was hnld
in the town hall in Central Point last
Saturday evening, representatives from
the local organizations of Ashland,
Medford, Eagle Point, Grants Pass and
entral Point being present. President
C R. Ray called the meeting to order
and M. F. Eggleston, secretary of the
league, was also present and kept the
records.
The salary of the secretary was fixed
at $75 per month for the first three
months, during which time a large
amount of work will devolve on that
official in the wa'} of compiling, editing
and having published proper advertis-
ing matter of the Rogue river valley.
Each local organization was asked to
appoint a committee to assist the sec-
retary In gathering data for this work.
Commitlees were also appointed to
wait on the county courts of Jack son
and Josephine counties to enli st their
as~istance in the work of advertising
the valley as a whole. Appropriations
for this purpose will be asked from
each county.
The matter of securing a larger mem-
bership of the organization was dis-
cussed in detail and the president was
empowered to secure one or more so-
licitors for each county to make a
thorough canvass of the towns and
country districts in the interests of the
organization, the solicitors to be
recompensed tor the time and labor ex-
pended in this work by a proper com-
mission.
The question of the sale of railroad
lands in the two counties was also
taken up and discussed and a commit-
tee was appointed to prepare a proper
memorial bearing on this question. to
be presented at the next meeting o!
the league.
The next regular meeting of the
league will be held at Ashland during
the Chautauqua assembly and promises
to be one of the greatest mass meet-
ings ever held in southern Oregon.

The object of all development
leagues is to induce immii'ration
of good citizens from the eastern
states to the Rogue River Valley.
All the families in our community were
invited to the home of fr. and Mrs.
E. . Bissell, June 25, to celebrate hi$
birthday and the 16th anniversary of the
marriage of his sister to Mr. E. Hitzler.
ln response, a large party greeted them
at their pleasant home, enjoying a
delightful evening. After partaking of
refreshments the gathering broke up at
a late hour, wishing those good people
many happy returns of the occasion.

of thanking the pen;.,lc of Jackson and
Josephine counties for the honor con-
ferrej on me in re- lecting me as pres-
tdent of the Rogue River Valley De-
velopment league, and I wish to asr ire
them that I will do everything in my
power lo "boos~" the entire united
valley.
The enthusiasm already shown in this
movement by the united efforts of the
commercial clubs, boards of trade, the
people, and the able, untiring Pfforts
of our secretary, Capt. M. F. Eggles-
ton, convinces me that great prosperity
will be brought to the entire valley.
In traveling from the Atlantic to the
Pacific ocean and from Seattle to San
Diego, there is no spot that will com-
pare with the beautiful Rogue river
valley in the richness of soil, perfec-
tion of climate, and manifold unde-
veloped resources.
In the "Promis cl Land of Canaan"
it was the custom of our ancestors to
labor six days a week and rest on the
seventh. In this favored valley it is
only necessary to labor one day, and
rest the balance of the week.

The fourth
Although Central Point did not cele-
brate thiJ vear, her people showed
their p<1triotism by going elsewhere to
wave the flag and shoot the festive fire-
cracker. About 200 tickets were sold
at the I cal station for Medford and
Ashlancl, most of the celebrators going
to the latter place for the change. Per-
haps 100 went from here to Rogue
river and spent the day boating, fish-
ing, wading and eating, as guests of
Mesijrs. Boswell, Scott and Gray, at
their fishing camp. It was the same
