TT IS hoped thai the new stale administration will make
no ehane in the oil ice ol master iisli warden, and
that the ineuinbent, ICdward M Clanton, will he reappoint
ed by the state hoard, which consists of governor, treas
urer and secretary of state.
Air. Clanton has "made good" during his short tenure.
Moreover, he is the type of man who always makes good,
familiar with every detail of the fishing industry, famil
iar through residence with all sections of the state, with
a knowledge of local conditions and desires that it has tak
en years to acquire, wjlli a most enviable record as a law
enforcer, regardless of politics, no more suitable appoint
ment could be made.

ed the desires of the people of southern Oregon and closed
the Rogue river to commercial fishing, so that there could
be one river in the state reserved from the depredations
of seiners, gillnetlers and trappers to become famous as
nn angling stream, a mecca for sportsmen and tourists
of the world.
But what use will the law be if not enforced? Already
preparations are under way for its open violation. Fishing
industries at the mouth arc reported to be preparing to
operate as usual, taking their catches to the Port Orford
cannery, some miles north of the mouth of the Rogue. The
authorities must; prepare for a strenuous time in an iso
lated section m enlorcing the law.
Mr. Clanton possesses the advantage of being thorough
ly familiar with the conditions existing along the Rogue
river, where for the past three years he has, as deputy as
well as chief, enforced the observance of existing laws
among a lawless class. He has 'proven his ability to handle
such a situation as will exist next year, and he ought by all
means to be given the opportunity.
Air. Clanton is, so far as known, the only southern Ore
goncandidatc for state office and this section certainly
merits consideration.

TVTOTV is the time to improve your premises and increase
-Li their attractiveness and raise their value bv tree
plaining. Don't wait until spring, like many did last year,
to find it too late for the trees to live.
Jf the street in front of your place was paved and side
walks left up in the air, get busy and e-rade if. so it wil
improve Uotli the looks ol the lot and the street.
Do you realize that money spent in improving the ap
pearance of your home is money well invested? That if
you ever want to sell, your place, if beautified, will, find a
much readier sale at a higher figure than .if unimproved?
Ask any realty dealer, and he will tell you that prop
erty on improved streets is about the only residence pro)
erty the new comer will purchase. And if you have a shad
ed avenue in front of you, the sale is much easier made.
So from a dollar and cents standpoint, if no nofher, go to
work and improve your premises.
Hut every citizen of Mori ford ought to have pride
enough in Aledford, apart from (he commercial viewpoint,
to willingly co-operate in the effort in beautify Medford
ought o have personal pride enough Io improve his own
nroperty so that Aledford can be made indeed the citv beau-.

Kvorywhere there are extensive news
paper notices, and the visitors flock
to the exhibit, and tnarvol at the
wonders of the Oregon country. This
tangible evidence of what Oregon is
and can do is making a profound Im
pression upon tho people. A large
amount of literature Is requested by
the Visitors, and Is being furnished
bv the railway people, and every
thing possible is done to get bano fide
settlers lo come to the state. The
car was kept at tho Chicago land
show during its session, and will bo
at Omaha during the land show there
from January IS to 28.
In a country where snow is falling
and the weather Is bitterly cold at
this season, the car makes a great hit.
Mr. Graham writes that tho throng Is
