PLAN TO FORM LOCAL
RIFLE TARGET CLUB
Efforts are under way by Harry
: Rlnabarger and Sterling Richmond,
two local rifle enthusiasts, io re
vive interest in target shooting and
.re-establish a branch of the .Na
tional Rifle association, which for
i merly was active in Medford. 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. . ,
