planned for them to bo present at tho
remaining sessions.
ON1C of (lie absurdities in fbo present gifmo law is the
provision that closes the season for small trout fish
ing from October l) to April 1, but provides an open sea
son for trout, over ten inches in length all tho year around.
The object in providing a closed season is to protect
the trout during the spawning season and to give the fish
a chance to propagate their species. The majority of the
trout that frequent Oregon streams spawn between Octo
ber "31 and April 1, most of them during the months of
January. February and March. Occasionally a stcelhead
will spawn as late as May or thine.
With the high water caused by the winter rains, the
trout, big and little, come up into the small streams from
the larger ones to spawn. The presence of large fish at
this season of the year in Hear creek indicates that the'
trout are there to spawn.
In mountain streams where food is scarce and water
tiold. trout mature without reaching full size. The adult
fish is less than ten inches in length, hi die larger and
warmer streams, with abundance of natural feed, like the
"Rogue, fish grow much faster and the fish mature enough
to spawn, is usually over ten inches in length.
The yearling trout in the Rogue is from three to six
inches m length. At two veal's they average trom seven
to ten inches. Few trout spawn in the first two years.
Therefore the present closed season protects merely the
immature trout (except in small mountain streams) which
cannot reproduce, and permits the indiscriminate slaugh
ter of tho spawning fish.
The conservation and propagation of trout and game
fishes would be far better served if the catching of small
fish was permitted and the taking of trout over ten inches
in length forbidden between October .31 and April 1.
Sportsmen should refrain from fishing in Hear creek
and smaller streams at this season of the year. The trout
will not take a fly. and not only is there small sport in
bait fishing, but the spawning or spawned-out fish is not
good to eat. There is fishing enough in season many
months of it but give the trout a chance to reproduce in
breeding season.

Garbage Collection
Although no complaints wcro
heard against tho present system of
garbage collection and disposal yet
the city should carefully consider tho
advantages of a comprehensive muni
cipal service. Where local scavengers
makq collections and charge each
family for tho work, there are many
families who do not consider the
service sufficiently important to wnr
rant tho cost. They, therefore, of
ten cause discomfort to their neigh
bors and endanger tho health of the
community by affording apportunl
tics for files to breed. This method
Is costly when compared with tbo an
nual cost ot the sorvlco It tho work
is done by a city department when
one considers that the collection
service by local scavengers usually
reaches only about one-fourth or
one-third ot tho total population.
The garbage is apt to be disposed
of In unrestricted ways. Three com
mon methods ot disposal aro now In
use in small cities: tl) Ilurylns
tho garbage; (2) fecdlug to pigs;
(3) burning. Garbage crematories to
burn garbago and rubbish aro the
commonest type of furnace In small
communities. One ton per day per
thousand inhabitants Is a fair esti
mate for garbago and refuse wlilcn
would mean for Medford a plant nf
10 tons dally capacity. Tho cost vt
construction will ran go from JCQQ
to $1000 per ton dally capacity. The
cofct of operation will rango from al
most $1.00 to $1.50 per ton but local
conditions may alter tin-no Il;ultn.
Public .MnikctH
Medford Is to bo congratulated
upon tho success of Itg munlclp.il
market. Tho success of a munolpsl
market dopeuds In largo measure.
upon the good Judgment and busi
ness ability of tho market master and
ho should not be haninored b) hard
and fast rules. It must bo continual
ly kept in mind that tho public pa-
routing the market must save money
by doing so and honco tho routs to
tenants must bo kopt down as low
as pQgslblo. A city can well afford
to operate a market at cost. It '
rocommonded that no leases be given
to the various stall holders io that
the markot master cun declare vacant
the stall of any occupant who deaU
dishonoatly with tho public. The
absenco ot telephones in tho varioui
stalls Is also to bo commended. Tho
Introduction ot telephones would
sooner or later result in patrons or
dering supplies by telephone with
the Increased cost of delivery sorvico
and tho opening of a credit ac
count. Good food Inspeclloa Is also
cry essential to the success ot a
municipal market. Tho rouncll
should sco that sufficient screening Is
supplied the inarl.et so that all doors
and window h may bo properly
screened during the fly fcoauou.

I an appreciation of tho value and nil
I mlnlstrntlve uso to be mado of ac
! curate and complete records. The
presout offices of city engineer and
street commissioner should be com
bined Into a public works department
and burentis created within tho de
partment. If needed to conduct tha
work. Tho two bureaus recom
mended would comprise tho construc
tion, maintenance nnd cleaning ot
streets and sidewalks and tho con
struction and repair and cleaning and
sewers.
Mnliiteiinnco of l'lildlc Works
Thus far the engineering problem
of Met) ford has been one of construc
tion, but from now on the chief fac
tor will bo that of maintenance.
The problem ot maintenance consists
first of all ot an adequate Inspection
sorvlco to ascertain where and what
repairs are needed. Inspectors shoul I
make reports on standard forms
which could be tilled In nnd filed 'n
tho office nnd become the basis for
Issuing work orders.
Complaints should also bo recorded
and promptly Investigated. Definite
work orders should bo Issued to th'j
foromnn of the repair squad; each
worK onicr suouia oo given a num
ber against which tho labor nnd ma
terial used could be charged and thus
would be laid tho basis for a cost ac
counting system by which the cost of
maintaining streets or sowers could
bo determined.
Xeeil for Time lleport
Individual time reports are es
sential In tho public works depart
ment whero tho men are assigned 10
numerous duties during tho day, in
order to make up tho proper charge
against tho proper accounts. Not
eon dally summary sheets aro used
by tho prosont street commissioner
but all ttmu reports are kept In u
field memorandum book.
The city forces very often do work
for private Individuals on sidewalks,
eut rapalrs, sewers, etc., and tho
amount Is collected by tho tax col
lector. The basis for theso charges
uro tbo reports showing labor cos,
The charges for material aro very
crude and could bo ma'do worn ac
curate by tho Introduction of proper
Job cost accounts. Tho distribution
of overhead corns, such an tools, spe
cial cqtilpmont and supervision is on
a very loose lmtsls and In many casotf
has been omitted entirely. Tho cost
ot cleaning stroots per block Is ob
tained by dividing the total number
of blocks cleaned into tho total pay
roll cost thus omitting the wear and
tear of equipment altogether and
making no charge whatever for tho
water consumed.
Tho department keeps no lodger
account to show the utuouut of
equipment on hand or Its location
Street flushurs and road rollers uro

ThU niovo Is certainly n step In tho

What U men ut by the wrotiR
method? It utwuii first, that far
mers tire tteuonill.N ot the oplnlo.i
that they must pun-hne high bred
sows or sows that are purely bred,
and It means seuoud. that foundation
stocks may be brom-ht In that will
brlug hog cholera with them. The
lnck of Information on these two
iw Ints Is doing to ut the ranchmen
denrlv In nil the northwestern states
Wlieu choosing foundation sows, it
Is not essential that they shall b
purely bred or eMi highly graded,
luilo the r.iiiohumu Is going to pro
duce pure bred swtne for breeding.
It doe, not matter how mixed the
breeding. Hut It does matter th.it
the sows shall haw good conforma
tion. Good conformation moans n
long body and uneiish ot length of
limb to make the sows active im
gratters during the season ot grns
lug It duos not matter much what
the blood component are. providing
tho conformation Is as stated tibovn.
Mixed blood uletnenls are advantag
eous, rather Own prejiidlelnl. for the
reason that tho more mixed the
blood elements on the side nf the
dam. the more rapid will bo the Im
provement when such dnms are
mated with pure bred sire ot any
breed. This Is n leatxin that It I to
bo feared not many ranchmen hato
learned nnd It Is a lMnn which tlnsy
aro slow to loam. The Idon Is al
most itnlvorsnl that the breodor iiitMt
bogln with high grade sows. As n
rule he wll succeed Inter with lo.v
grndu sows, because ot tho low cost.
Dut he must give attention to the
selection ot long bodied sows. ThU
will Insure tho production ot rela
lively larj'.o intern mitt of good bacon
production lit the progeny.
It should be reinembeied that with
oa of mixed bleeding Improvement
comes chiefly from the sire If purely
bred. The oie itiUed the breeding

progeny lesomhlo the sire. Ah mnr
Kets nre nt the pienent time, It will
not mutter much what breed tho
