They ! report fairly good progress to date In lining up prospective members and also report that if enough ; members can be procured the rifle ran-se will be located on the old site east of the city. Local men interested in the venture are urged '.to see Mr. Rlnabarger at the city ; building department or Mr. Rich mond at the California, Oregon Power company. - LOCAL SCHOOLS TO : - OPEN AS PLANNED The Medford public schools will 'beKiii r scheduled on September ,4 and will in.: rlose down for the .accommodation . of student, fruit pickers anil packing house work ers, according to K. IT. .Kedrick, city school superintendent. Con tracts for teachers all begin with pay on that duto. he said, nnd to keep schools closed for the. benefit tot" the students would' mean an (outlay of much expense'Jn paying faculty meinbVrs not on duly. The recreational facilities of ( the state of Oregon are tin- excelled. Their money value, j . is as yet scarcely., guessed at j and less appreciated, 'hey ! constitute by far the greatest ! single capital asset of the j state. - ' ' loiter in the argument, the fol- ; lowing somewhat surprising state- 1 mem is made; ' . j To now appropriate our , own Kogun river for the pi'I- mnry purpose ; of obtaining cheap electrical energy. l-'or what? To take into Califor nia, for sale In California, and for the development in Call tornlu uf industries there re- quiring low-cost electrical po we r. Th e five h igh da m s planned for Rogue river con struction wilt beyond question ruin for all ,timo the recrea Ttional value of this great stream, n.s well as Its commer cial fishing, and should never be permitted until required for Oregon industries. The rental ' paid the state , for the use of state-owned waters in power development is ridiculously small, and any potential loss thereof is offset many times . over by tourist revenue and returns from the salmon in dustry. The argument against the fish bills is prepared by .the chambers of commerce, of Albany,; C!oiLvallis, MrMinnvllle, ISugene, Bend, nnd Grants Pass, the county courts of 1 Lane, Linn, and Benton counties. iand the Izaak' Wnlton league of ' Grants Pass. j The argument holds, that the clause "for- any purpose whatso ever," Is a '"Killing hlov" to the development of,, mineral resources, or the future, water supply of the citiesl in the watershed of the rivers .affected. It is further held that "the fish of .Orenbn streams are sufficiently protected." . The. argument closes: . , , lly the same line of reason ing, wo should stop the lum ber industry from cutting any more timber that the deer hunters might improve their sport and let a large part of the state revert to an Indian paradise. These, bills benefit no one. Kven the sportsman must earrr a livelihood before, he can enjoy his sport. These measures aVe a "bread " and butter" proposition for Ore gon, and the safety of the stale's agricultural and indus trial future demands their defeat. . , UR BIG 12:30 P. M.
