QUIPOSE More publicity Ih given tho Iluguo river and nouthern Oregon In tho current Irkuo of tho I'aclfic NportHtuan, published In Hun l-ran-rlco, through a Btory on river courtewy written by James O. Pan Inter of Med ford. Tho urlielo tells of cxperb-neea of tho writer and Dun Herring, local resident, and of tho courteHy shown anglers by ownorn of property along tho river. In 1 'J'il tho two fisher men came to a portion of tho rivor whero property owners had punted signs warning anglers to keep off. "After one encounter with a man w h o owned considerable frontage on the river, writes Pan lMter, "and In tho ponltion to coin mnnd amno of tho bent flailing Hpots, we wero nioro Inclined than ever to bcllevo that thCHO owners must huvc Homo firm belief that It was wrong to walk across their land. Thin man insulted us to the nth degree, oil of which we did not caro to carry to an urgument, but remained silent until ulone, we set forth Dpon a discussion of the subject. This man certainly was not in tunc with tho sport of fish ing and no doubt had never en Joyed the close companionship that comes with a fishing trip with sonio real friend up and down tho hanks of uomo turbulent stream. Ho had perhaps never reveled in tho tingling atmosphero of a mor ning camp, nor enjoyed tho fra grant aroma of frying bacon and spudH, with a dnsh of onions at eventide when evorythlng Is quiet. "Then tho relaxation after sup per with feet toftHting and pipes smoking, and a hugo log burning Its 11 fo away before you. We felt that n man who hud experienced all thetm things who had over known tho pencofulness of a night of rest beneath the ovorhunglng houghs of fire and pines, could never refuse a fisherman the right to walk over his property along designated paths. ' " "" "From that dato on." continues llunlHtcr, "wo used nil our Influ-1 once, small as It ha been, to pro moto a better foe ling between the owner and fisherman. On mo pro tection associations, ono of which la very uctivo In southern Oregon, have done their utmost In thin cause and perhaps nfter another few years, tho rivor will aguin bo freo from theso signs except whero necessity demanda their posting. Our first experlenco camo In 187 and signs cumo moro In ovldcuco thereafter. It wus only this year, however, wo almost died of heart failure and became over joyed when wo rounded a bend on the river and saw a sign that said: 'This stllo was built for tho con venience of anglers, who nro wel cotno to pass through this properly along tho banks of (he stream. Your consideration for tho protec tion of the property la requested.1 "Tho neat sign was posted nt tho side of a strongly constructed stllo over the top of a barbed wire feqee," writes Itanister, "and gave neccsa to a cleared trail to tho i-lvcr on tho opposite vide. My first Idea nt sighting this evidenco of friendliness on tho pari of tho owner wus to shout for Dan and then I siit down on tho ground, laid down my rod and thought twtek over the years wo had been fishing and in all that tlmo hud been rebuffed with 'no trespassing signs. I Imagined this man must also belong to that great army of men who tram pod tho bunks of rivers and creeks In sunlight or rain, waded tn water to their waists und camo into camp nt night near froxen, with five or six trout too small to brag ubout "As the years roll by," the local man wrote, "tho spirit that Imbues tho real fishermen will become securely lodged in the land owners along, not only the Koguo river, but every stream In tho country, for it not only shows courtesy but the feeling that no real mun, treat ed fairly, will wilfully disregard the rights of the man who Is gen erous enough to allow him to walk through his property tn search of tho wily ' trout and the fighting steelhead.'

Their names are red. their hair und the fights they put up nro ulno red hot. The two boys aro Hed llandMiiker und Turkey Ited. Humlmikcr, from Ashland, hns fought several times in Med ford und other places around tho country. Ho Is a typical slugger und fightH every minuto of the time. Ited can bo knocked down but always gets up swinging. Turkey Ited. the school boy wonder, might easily be called the -'Ited , Tornado" duo to the action ho shows. Ho lucks ex perience, but every fight he has hud during the last year and a half has been a torrid affair. Tur key hits much harder than the average boxer and tho majority of his flKhts huvc been won by a Ko. Ho is Just a kid going to high school but due to hard training und earnestness he learn ed to hook and punch to n degree whore he It able to beat more ex perienced battlers than himself. With theso two fighting red hen ds in tho ring together the fans can look forward to seeing ono of tho best fights they have seen for some time. This bout will he a six round affair and the boys will weigh about 145 pounds each. Another six round bout that is mire to bo a frco-for-all slugging match will ho between two boys that have brought tho house down every time they havo fought In Medford. Oentleman Jim Jucobs and J mid Wilson. Jacobs is a tall slim boy who punches from all ancles and nil the tlmo he 1" in there fighting. Jacobs has been fighting nil over tho state and every matchmaker ho has worked for has said that they havo never seen such a crowd plcaser. His last bout in Medford against Al Ktraub was one of the movt sensational bouts tho fans hud ever seen. .ludd Wilson Is tho Irish-Indian lad that has stolen tho show both times he has fought In Medford. Hoth of his bouts were with Ited llunsaker. Wilson Is a slugger, and can take punishment. Hej and Jacobs havo hoen nt dagger points for sometime it is said. A four round bout will feature Chuck Horden and lied Wiep pard of Oakland. Horden ro cently had four straight bout In Kugeno and tho fans wero en thusiastic. Ho Is a body puncher of high degree und misery for a opponent. Sheppard Is a by who bus fought many bouts in California and Is Just the sort to mako Uorden n good fight for he Is a head puncher und a slug ger. Iloth of hrsc boys are main event boys and huvo been fighting so. The second four round bout will pit Vaul Abbott of Ashland nnd Jack Wilson of Klamath Pulls. lioth of theso boys aro out to win.

In fact, that Wash ington Stale collcRe's 235-pound superman Is itching to do sonic thine about it. Two "nationally known" boxing managers, the big boy confided, have offered to take him where Prlmo Camera tried to go. Ed wards neglected to nahib them, but his friends said not two, but "sev eral," contracts had been offered. "I expect to tako up boxing in' a big way," the titanic tackle said modestly, "after 1 am graduated. I don't know how far 1 can get Jn the fistic game, but I like it and there is plenty of cash "in It for the fellow who makes good." . To Graduate First But the heavyweight crop: can plug along unafraid for at least n year or two yet. Kdwards is only a junior, and if be sticks to bis de termination to be graduated before he finds a pair of gloves big cnougli to fit him he might change his mind. In several amateur bouts and a few unofl'icial fracases behind the barn, unfortunate victims stood be fore him only until he could nn limber his maullcs; and they went down like the Cougars did before Alabama New- Year's day quick and certain.
