TATE OF OREGON. County of Jack
son, ss:
On this 1st day of May. 1910, per
sonally appeared before me. O. Put.
num. manager of the Medford Mall Tri
bune, who, upon oath, acknowledged that
the above figures are true and correct.
(Seal) 1L N. YOCKEr.
Notary Public for Oregon.
THE rosigmiion of IT. C. McAllister ns master fish war
den is to bo regretted. Ho lias proven a capable and
consicentions officer. Though ignorant of fish upon his
appointment, ho has diligently studied the subject since
and leaves his office .just at tho tiino he had become best
equipped to administer it.
During his two years of office, Mr. McAllister has made
an enviable record, lie has vigorously enforced the law
though handicapped by lack of funds, and to his efforts
largely is due tho present interstate code of salmon laws.
More convictions have been obtained, more fish ways con
structed and more fish screens installed, and the salmon
better protected under him than under any of his predecessors-Governor
Benson and the stato fish board is said to have
selected Henry O'Malley, superintendent of government
hatcheries in the northwest, as Mr. McAllister's successor.
Mr. O'Malley has once refused the pro for, but j.s reported
to bo reconsidering it. No bettor selection could bo made,
as All. O'Malley is the best posted and best educated man
on the subject to be found.
Should Air. O'Malley decline, Southern Oregon has a
candidate in the person of Edward Clanton of Grants Pass,
at present chief deputy to Mr. McAllister, who is probably
the best equipped of anyone in the state, barring only Mr.
O'Malley, for the position. Mr. Clanton has made a fine
record while in office, is familiar with the work and
viable record while in office, is familiar with the work and
its needs and entirely capable of conducting the office with
credit and distinction.
It is to bo hoped that tlie state board will choose a quali
fied man, like Mr. Clanton, in preference to office-seeking
spoilsmen and politicians, and that Air. Clanton is selected.

community is rent in twain for a momentous question is to
be decided, and upon it hangs the destiny of Ashland. The
dove of peace has flown, or paid is fare on the vanishing
trolley.
It is but a few short days since Ashland served notice to
the world that outside capital was not wanted within its
peaceful portals and that its restful quiet were not to be
disturbed by electric railroads. Following came the prop
osition to bar the swift-moving, noisy auto from the sacred
solitudes of the park.
Now a new problem has arizen to disturb the tranquil
slumber, or an old problem in a new form the ancient
question of " to drink or not to drink. ' ' Ashland long since
decided that humanity, no matter how hot the day, had no
right to drink. Now the baffling puzzle of the hour is,
"Shall animals be allowed to assuage thirst?"
In brief, the question now disrupting Ashland's beauty
sleep, is whether or not an ornamental fountain shall be
placed at the entrance of the park. Various civic organiza
tions, aroused by this uncalled for intrustion and threat
ened breach of the peace, have sounded the alarm and
uttered violent protest to the city council. They recommend
instead, that the fountain be placed in the cemetery, an ap
propriate suggestion.
The council, divided against itself, is unable to decide a
question of such great import, and the matter has been re
ferred to the improvement clubs and business men for dis
cussion and a full expression of opinion. In all probabili
ty a special election will be called to settle the vexatious
problem.
To an outsider, it would seem that the suggestion to place
the fountain in the cemetery is an excellent one, an accom
modation not only to animals, but to Ashland's human
mossback population. By all means, place all Ashland's
civic improvements in the cemetery it is entirely fitting.
Ah soon in tho tonus of tho armi
stice wore arranged, tho troops took

ices useless, unless it was to mvu tho
haughty savage whoso heart was yot
divided in its councils. Owing to
Pnlmor's failure to arrive at the tituo
appointed, tho ponoo talk was post
poned until September 10. Meantime
tho volunteers lay about headquar
ters talking over occurrences of the
past fortnight and speculating upon
those to como. They wore '100 strong
and bad little need to fear tho iv
suits of future deliberations. Bo

OUR DELEGATION MAKES GOOD.
q ENATOES BOURE AND CHAMBERLAIN are to be
congratulated upon securing a $10,000 appropriation
for Crater Lake park survey from congress. This is an
entering wedge. The survey is needed before the depart
ment of the interior and agriculture can make estimates
and ask congress for continuing appropriations for park
improvement.
As originally passed by the senate, the appropriation
asked for was $15,000. This Avas cut entirely by the house.
Uowever, the Oregon senators insisted upon it in the con
ference report, and a compromise of $10,000 was agreed
upon.
Congressman Hawley deserves great credit for his good
work in securing an appropriation of $110,000 for a federal
building in Medford. In this he had the co-operation of
the senators, and all have the heartiest thanks of the com
munity. For the first time in history, Southern Oregon has been
really represented in Washington and has actually secured
something worth while by means of its delegation. Let the
good work go on.

"The chief defect," the messnge
says, "is tho largo number of pro

them out by appropriating sums not

tho policy of smnll appropriations
