bureau of hatcheries has written the
following letter to the fish committee,
protesting tho reopening of the

"Jan. 27. till.'..
"Mr. Itohcrt S. Farrcll, chainunu,
senate game committee. Salem, Or.
"Dear Sir:
"I learned that n bill has been in
troduced in tho senate to chnuge the
laws governing Rogue river. As n
re))rcsontntive of tho United Stnles
Ijurcnu of fisheries, in charge of. tho
federal fiuh cultural work that is con
ducted on tho lncifid const, I wish to
state to your committee Hint any fur
ther opcn'scnson for commercial fish
ing on tho upper Kogu'o river will bo
n serious detriment to the work which
wo arc conducting in that section.
"Tho bureau of fisheries has al
ready received at different times con
siderable opposition in tho above
stated locality, nnd any further move
to have tho laws more lenient would
reduce our work to such n point that
wo would bo obliged to withdraw from
that Held.
"Tho government hns been spend
ing nnnunlly in southern Oregon for
propagation work in the neighborhood
of $8000, nnd I am informed thnt the
commercial fishing nt Grants Pass
for last season only amounted to
$.1000.
"Itoguo river in ninny respects dif
fers from most of our streams, it be
ing one continuous spawning bed
from Jump-Off Joo creek to its
source, a distance of somo lfQ miles,
nnd in order to keep up the supply
of fish, both commercial and game, in
Itoguo river, it is necossnry to permit
a goodly number to ascend to the
spawning beds unmolested and reach
the federal hatcheries located on
Itoguo river nnd its tributaries.
Spawning fish arc found in the upper
Itoguo river from August 2.r in to the
winter raontliB, and spawning steel
heads during tho early spring months.
''Therefore, in tho interests of fish
ing, nothing should bo done to curtail
tho efficiency of our work in that
field by lengthening the open senson
on tho upper Rogue river.
"Very respectfully,
"H. O. MALLEY,
"Held superintendent United States

TWO MORE COUGARS

GOLD HILL, Or., Feb. C The
Willow Flat eougnr hunters who took
four pelts two weeks ago, have added
two tuoro cougars to their list of tro
phies this week. All were killed in
tho Evans creek country, north of
this city. The bounty iixn tho ani
mals taken so far will bo $150. Close
observers claim that each cougur will
kill at least twentv-fivo deor each
year. From this basis it is figured
that tho operations of tho Willow
Flat cougur hunters have suved 150
deer for tho season of 1015, not tak

which goes to fill tho chinks in the
mountain lion's meal. Thu big cats

German Crudity Says London.
LONDON, Feb. C, 2:30 a. m. The

"What particularly tickled the

been nothing llko it since Napoleon
Issued his Berlin decree." The Chron
Iclo deprecates tho alarni that has
arisen over Germany's threat. Tho

a parody ot the British communica

ening neutral vessels, instead of of

Reduction No. 3
On Goodyear Tires
Making Total Reductions 45 per cent in Two Years
To Give Always the Most for the Money
W'c are glad again for the
third time In two years to an
nounce a big reduction on
Goodyear tires, effective Febr
uary 1st.
Goodyear policy on prico Is to
give tho utmost In a tiro at the
llwest possible profit. Our re
ductions are made to that end,
without ever reducing tho qual
ity. That always means, with our
matchless output, inoro for tho
money than any other maker
can give.
As rubber camo down our
"prices camo down. As our out
put multiplied, reducing fac
tory cost, our prices camo
down with It. In two years our
reductions Including tho pres
ent have totaled 43 per cent.
Last year we Increased our
output 26. C per cent. A few
days ago the embargo on rub
ber was modlflod so that sup
plies seem assured. Tho mark
et prlco for rubber seems for a
tlmo established. Fabric costs
loss than last year. So, under
our minimum profit policy, we
announce tills now reduction.
Only. Fair Basis
We consider profit margin on
a tiro the only fair price basis.
We keep that margin Just as
low as our line allows.
t
While wo do that, Goodyear
tires will always undersell any
tires that compare with them,
That Is because wo have thu
largest output. We have a
now factq r'y. moilomly
equipped. And we have world-
wide facilities for buying 'rub
lcr. of our extra grado, at tho
lowest market'l'rke.
For a long", long time most
tires haveordV much above
Goodyear puces.' Somo have
sold ono-thlr'd higher. A few
have sold lower, as somo al
ways will, because ot less rub
ber, less quality. But we can
and do, under all conditions,
give more for tho money than
anrlval tiro can offer.
Tho lU'st We Know
Goodyear Fortified Tires of
fer the best we know. They
are built to give you the lowest
cobt per mile. They minimize
tire trouble in five costly ways
employed by no other maker.
-And they uro always the samo,
regardless of price reductions.
Most tires will always soli
higher, becauso of smaller out
put. Somo tires will always
sell lower because of lower
standards. But wo propilsu
you that none will .over give
better than Goodyear value.'
This policy has made Good
years the largest-Selling tires
in 'tho world. It will make
t))jm more po as more men find
thorn out.
As youn Goodyear dealer for
our new price on the sizo you
buy.
