HE issue in the lvuiiue Itiver Fish roiitroversv is this:
are the natural l'e.soiU'ees tit' 1his state to he pre
served for liulilie benefit or destroyed for private profit.
There is the whole matter in a nut shell. Is wild life,
fish, game,-the great outdoors, to be eonnnercialized for
a few. or developed for the many .
The cannery interests as usual are handing out soh
steries about destroying one of the state's most valued
industries, and forcing the humble commercial fisherman,
and his frugal hard-working family, to seek sanctuary in
the poor house.
Piffle! The humble commercial fisheman is leading
the fight to have. the river closed. The Josephine county
citizens who have made a modest living in the past
through salmon catching, have been put out of business
by the very monopoly that is now posing as their self-sacrificing
protector.
This fight isn't against the commercial fishermen, it
isn't against any legitimate business; it is against an old
fashioned, antiquated public-be-damned salmon cannery
that considers Rogue liver its pot preserve, und intends
to exact its last pound of flesh, if it has to lake every sal
mon and steel head in the river.
The sportsmen of Southern Oregon. are a unit on this
point, either the cannery must go, or t
ing must go. Since the operation of tlu
last closing of the' river, steel head fishing has steadily
declined. At the present rate in another two years, a stee!
head will be as rare in Uogue river as a four wheeled hack
on the Pacific Highway.
They talk about destroying a resource of the state.
Ifow ahout trout fishing in Southern Oregon? Isn't that
a resource'; Eliminating all sentiment and sportsmanship
from the question, an elimination by the way which the
recent Finley controversy shows the people will never ap
prove, merely looking at the question from the stand
point or dollars ami cents, winch brings more money and
profit to the people of the state, good trout fishing and
salmon fishing every year, with sportsmen coming from
all parts ol tne country to enjoy it, or a cannery at the
mouui oi me river grinning our excess proms lor a non
resident millionaire 'I
i .
We say excess profits advisedly. For if the informa
tion offered us is correct, closing the canneries at the
mouth of Pogue river tomorrow, would result in actual
deprivation to no one. lfoguc river has paid her toll and
then some.
Put it' a few individuals should suffer some financial
loss it is to the interest of Southern Oregon and the e it ire
state to have the river closed. The cannery men can be in
demnified for their loss. If the trout once tro. no monev
will bring theiu back.
' Unless every sportsman of Southern Oreiron is a liar.
and we rather dolibt such unanimity, the steel head
fishing in Kogue river is at stake. Either the canneries
must (put or the commercial and amateur fishermen must
quit. With this the issue who can question for a minute
that in the interest of the state and its people both from
the standpoint of good sport and good business, the wel
fare of the people should come first.

tiuiu were the principal sources of
rovenuo and droves of cattle uud
lions wero n common sight along tho
county highways as well as in the
fields, bands of cews rimmed the
streets of Medford aitil foraged from
tho ranchers' wagons, those largo
black walnut trees on South Central
avenuo wore at that time small whips
of trees aud were protected from the
cattle by stakes and slats.
Wheat was the main grain product
cf the valley aud was selling at lift
cents a bushel instead of 30 cents as
the Item gave It.
Kggs atlc dozen, butter 30c lb.,
lard 10c Hi., and dressed pork as
your Item gave It, was worth lie lb.
1SS1I was a very dry season and
produco of every kind was scarce
aud high, and there was a general
complaint about tho high cost of liv

All south cf Kast Main slreet from
the bridge was at that timo a wheat
field and there was ono dwelling
house on the north side about where
Mr. Nye now lives. j
The big snow storm mentioned de
moralized telegraph service for some i

Water for Medford's fire protec

The lirlck business block built by
Anglo & I'lynialo and now occupied
by the Economy meat market loomed
up at that time liko a skyscraper.
practically all tho business houses
on Main street were small fram$
buildings with shingled awnings
built over tho plank sidewalks.
I at that time kept a diary and
many of theso items uro not a matter
cf memory but copied from tt record
written at the time.
If tho city recorder will turn to
tho records of the early 90's I think
she will find copies of contracts made
by the city for wood for the pumping
plant and it will show that the price
of seasoned body fir wood was about
$:t.00 per cord aud one year as low

"We must always clearly bear in'

demonstration of forceful intent what
is contrary to our interpretation of

cr to-act as self-constituted vigilance
committees in disregard of lawful

not only subversive of the principles
and ideals of the American Legion
but will weaken und tend to destroy
our influence fcr good in this coun

"In our efforts to assist in the
maintenance of law and order, the
American Legion must, itself, Eet an

"Don't Put Your Store to Sleep at 7 o'Clock"
The merchant who drapes his store iiwlarkness during the evening
hours is truly hiding his light beneath a bushel.
Light Your Windows With Electricity
Let people see your goods! Admire them! Wish for them!
BUY THEM. Don't think your window display must "go to
sleep with the chickens!"
Kvcn after your store is closed, make Electricity work for you,
advertising the merchandise in your window.
Your electrical contractor will estimate the cost of installing
modern window fixtures. You will be surprised at their economy
of operation. , 1
