THE SLAUGHTER OF TROUT.
A CCORDING to reports nuulc to tho master fish wtir--
den there were twonty-soven tons of steolhoads
caught at the mouth of the Rogue last autumn. There
were practically three tons caught at Grants Pass last
season, making a total of thirty tons, which, with the
average weight of the fish, means from 15,000 to 20,000
steelhead trout seined for commercial purposes. This ex
plains why trout are becoming extinct in tho Rogue
River.
Rogue River steelhead and rainbow trout, arc one and
the same fish. They are valueless for canning purposes,
but they are refrigerated and shipped east, where- they
are sold as trout. They aro the greatest game fish in
the world and worth far more as an attraction to tourists
and sportsmen than for commercial purposes.
Most of those who prey upon the steelhead are Indians
or half breeds, who receive a pittance for each fish caught

Good scheme, for the -itato of Ore

Before Medford can become what it is destined to be
come, a jobbing and distributing center for northern Cali-
fomit and southern Oregon, she must be so recognized by
the railroads and given the benefit of lower rates as well
as distributing rates. Such recognition has already been
given Spokane, Lewiston, Boise, Salt Lake and other in
terior point, while Baker City is striving to secure similar
advantages through the interstate commerce commission.
An instance of how present conditions militate against
the growth of this city, is shown in the case of Jones
Brothers & Co., who some two years ago, came here with
the intention of establishing a large vinegar factory, util
izing the culls from the orchards. The best freight rate
they could get from Medford to Portland was 79 cents
per hundredweight, in carload quantities, a rate too high
to admit of competition with established concerns else
where. Jones Brothers opened a factory in "Watsonville, Cali
fornia, instead of in Medford. Irom this point, quite a
distance south of San Erancisco, they secure a rate of 31
cents per hundredweight to Portland by rail consider
ably less than half of what they would have had to pay
from Medford, one-third the distance.
Medford cannot hope to realize its desthry until
present rates are revolutionized. No particular blame is
attached to the railroad it is the system of rate-making
that is at fault.
Finally, if wo sum up tho opinions ity, and certainly within tho Itoguo
