lobbying for the measure is a part
ner In a rival cannery that has no
seining grounds, and that the fisher
men are opposed to seining because
it Is a cheap way of catching fish.
iMr. Buffington charged that sein
ing was destroying fishing In the
Rogue river, and admitted that the
purpose of the bill was to put an end
to It. Ho also declared that Macloay
was using the seines as a club over
the fishermen to beat down tho price
of fish. 'Ho declared that he was not
appearing as a representative for the
cannery In which ha owns an Interest
but for tho fishermen union. "
Hugh Mitchell, wfio is connected
with the federal department of hatch
eries told the committee that the
seines were not intertorlng with the
run of eteel heads and also that there
are more salmon in the river than
ever bofore. .

down a bill closing the seining at the
ilacleay cannery, and insisted that
the verdict of the people on the sutA
Joct should not be disturbed.

Tho city administration will make
a strong protest against granting tho
application of the Oregon Gns & Elec
tric company for permission to in
crease tho price of gas In Medford,
when the application is up for hear
ing before the state public service
commission at 10 a. m. tomorrow in
the city council chamber. All per
sons interested in the question are
invited to attend tho hearing and
present their views.
The matter waa discussed infor
mally at last night's council meeting
and the councllraen and mayor were
unanimous in opposition to the raise
belug granted. It was the sense of
the councilman that Medford would
rather see the plant shut down and
go out of existence rather than have
another raise In gas. In fact It was
the general opinion that the present
price of gas In Medford was exorbi
tant in view of the poor service and
quality of gas furnished.
Mayor Gates charged that the com
pany made no effort to get new cus
tomers and that for years It had
spent no money on Its plant, allowing
it to run down. He also asserted
that the company had been unsuc
cessfully trying to make the plant
pay with this service and had actual
ly turned away new business, where
as it a proper service was given many
new customers could be obtained and
old ones held and the company's
Medford business could thus be made
profitable. Each councilman had
heard., many complaints of the poor
quality of ill smelling gas furnished
for some time past.
Fred A. Rasch. the gas expert of
the public service commission, is in
the city and spent today inspecting
the company's plant. Fred A. Wil
liams and H. H. Corey of the com
mission will be here tomorrow. W.
H. Ellis will act as examiner for the
commission. The gas company will
bo represented at the hearing by J.
F. Kathriner of the bead office at
San Francisco.

A GOOD FRIEND
; - A good friend stands by you when
in need. Medford people tell how
Doan's Kidney Pills 'have stood the
test. M. S. Biden, shoe repairer of
21 South Central avenue,- Medford,
endorsed Doan's ten years ago and
again confirms the story.. Could you
ask for more convincing testimony?
. "I suffered from 'what the doctor
said was rheumatism, caused by an
excess of uric acid In my blood," says
Mr. Biden. "It showed itself by
severe pains, especially in my back.
My kidneys were out of order, too,
and these troubles caused me to run
down in health. I couldn't stoop
without getting dizzy. Doan's Kidney
Pills did Just what they were repre
sented to do and soon the pain began
to leave me and my kidneys acted
more regularly. By the time I had.
finished three boxes, I was without
any signs of the trouble." (Statement
given September 13, 1907.)
On March-10, 1916, Mr. Biden
said: "It has been some time since I
have had any occasion to take Doan's
Kidney Pills, but my opinion of them
hasn't changed In any way since I
first endorsed them. Today I am en.
joying first-class health."
