Official Paper of the City of Medford.
nplIE supreme court, in a decision handed down this
week, holds that the state board of fish commis
sioners has authority to close any stream in the state to
fishing by virtue of the statute to that effect, though such
authority may border closely on a legislative function.
The matter came up in an injunction sought in Multnomah
county by the Portland Fish company to restrain the board
of fish commissioners from closing the Willamette river
between Maxell 1 and May 1 to correspond with the closed
season on the Columbia river as agreed upon last winter
between the states of Oregon and "Washington.
As the authority to protect the fish and fishing indus
try is a power inherent in the state, even irregularities

goes into tho habits of salmon and reasons therefrom that
the order was reasonable aside from being given in con
formity with the power conferred and was not an infringe
ment of any civil right of the plaintiffs.
The attention of the fish commission is called to the
fact that the Rogue river has the largest open season of
any stream in the state, and that, owing to abuses by fish
hogs, both salmon and steelhead arc rapidly becoming ex
tinct. Evcrv effort made bv the people and the master
fish warden to shorten the season and provide other protec
tion has been successfully resisted in the legislature,
through the efforts of the monopoly at the mouth of the
river.
The fish board should at once exercise its authority by
cutting down the open season to correspond with the sea
son on the Columbia and other streams, enforce a closed
Sunday during the open season and close the Illinois and
Applegate to commercial fishing.

destruction of their vineyards, orchards, and, in some cases,

The damacre done bv the volcano is placed at $5,000,-

spent money, and the rapidity with which their landlords
gathered it in, the estimate that this loss was more than
made up is probably moderate.
What the tourists have done in so short a time for Sicily
they would continuously do for Oregon were Crater Lake
made accessible. An immense revenue will annually be
left by the never-ending stream of money-spending sight
seers and pleasure seekers who will be drawn to Oregon to
view the world's greatest natural wonder. Every dollar
spent in opening up this mystic lake will be returned many
fold to those contributing.
The tourist travel is an asset Oregon has long overlook
ed, but which has virtually made southern California, and
can be made to make southern Oregon.

The day of advertising which is unmistakably with us
brings with it some substantial good to the social order,
Its first important benefit is that of serving the buying
public by furnishing them reliable information about
goods and prices and bring that information to them in
the most direct, the quickest and the most convement way
by the way of the newspaper.
The perhaps still more important pnase of advertis
ing's service to the people is the way it revolutionizes store
methods and ideals. The merchant realizes that everything
in his store must be worth advertising ready for "the ad
vertising test." For advertising makes a doubtful bargain
stand out as surely as an undeniable one thus .bringing
its penalties as well as its rewards.
It may be safely said that the necessity of publicity has
operated to put selling upon a surer and more certain basis
of conscientious desire to. win public favor by really de
serving it by making "good value" the slogan in every
store and exceptional values (which have especial adver
tising value) the daily aspiration of the merchant.
And the people get the benefits 1
