MEDFOTCD MAIL TRTBTTN1E. MEDFOKD. OREGON, THURSDAY, MARCH "16, 1933. PAGE THREE BE LATER- Almost invariably. In a normal sea son, the flnst chlnook salmon caught on rod and Una Is taken from Rogue river near the We-Aak-U Inn at Sav age Rapids, about March 18. Season after season, the time seldom varies more than a day or two. Last sea son, and many other seasons in the past 10 years, the first salmon was taken on the exact day, which proves how regularly the cycles In nature occur This season, it may be later before the first one 1b taken, not because the water will still be high and roily on that day. This Is a late spring and the creeks and tributaries are running full and strong, with lots oi snow on tne higher eleva tion still to melt and run out. Placer mining Is the one big in dustry that Is bringing revenue to southern Oregon during these times of depression and the people of this section would feel the depression and hard times even more keenly were it not for the thousands of dollars worth of gold dust that Is being brought in every day from the placer workings In almost every gulch and tributary that empties Its waters in to th? Rogue, with all the banks of the nation closed, and all kinds of business dormant, awaiting settle ment of the confusion in financial circles and the return of confidence In our banking Institutions, old na ture's banks are still open and the amount that can be drawn is only limited by the efficiency of the meth ods used to draw the money out. And this Is surely a Godsend to the people of southern Oregon. From all Indications the Apple gate. Illinois and other tributaries below Grants Pass will likely be mud dy until quite late In the season. Most of tlje small streams above Grant Pass are emptying a steady flow of highly colored water into the river. That which comes from Pleas ant creek and Evans creek Is par ticularly rich in color, a deep yellow ish red, the color of good mineral palat. Once this substance is in sus pension In the water It does not set tle or precipitate but continues to . discolor the water as long as there Is movement. The water from the mine on Sardine creek is of a darker hue, being mostly sand and loam, and settles more quickly Some muddy water is still coming In from Foots creek as all the small placers on both forks are still working, and will con tinue as long as the present flow of wator keeps up. However, In an Interview with D. H. Ferry, superintendent of the Rogue River Gold company, operating the big dredge on the rlghthand fork of Foots creek, the writer was assured that as soon as the water in the river clears sufficiently to permit salmon fishing, he would cause all the muddy water coming from ' the placers on both forks, as well as the overflow from the dredge pond, to be diverted into the settling basins that have been prepared and that no serious dlsoo:oratlon from the waters of . Foots creek will be allowed to reach the river. Mr. Ferry's elaborate clarification system has prevented any discolora tion from Foots creek affecting the river in fishing season for the past three years. A sudden deluge from the Foots creeK watershed during one of the heavy winter storms washed out part of the diversion system that had been in operation for the past two years, but this has been replaced and a new dam built that will take care of the normal flow of the stream. This hearty cooperation on the part of Mr. Ferry and the company he represents Is sincerely appreciated by all In this community who are In terested In fishing, either from a business standpoint or as a recrea tional sport. With a plentiful water supply in all streams, the placer miner is having his day and work n the mines will continue later than usual. Let us all be thankful that wo have one industry that is pro ducing revenue. The fishermen can wait. Fender and body repairing. Prices right. Brill Sheet Metal Works. Society and Clubs ' Edited by Eoa Nealon Hamilton Bommer Writes Play On Life of Jackson. Southern Oregon's dramatic groups are welcoming the announcement that Prof. Angus L. Bowmer of Southern Oregon Normal school, who has ai- ready established a reputation here in the field of drama, has written a play about the life of Andrew Jack- son, which will be produced in the near future for the pleasure of the local public. The play promises to be the most elaborate bit of home produced enter tainment ever offered southern Ore gon's theater-goers, and Is far from amateur, in plot and lines. Professor Bowmer, whose ability is well known to the Medford public. Is also directing the play and .the cast has been chosen from Southern Oregon Normal school's most sea soned actors. The play makes vivid the pictur esque' life of Andrew Jackson, who was destined to set a new goal for American democracy. Of the produc tion a local critic has said: "Jack son's life was like a story a pathetic story filled with misfortune, disap pointments and struggle always filled, however, with a great and beautiful love love for a woman whom the world looked upon as an outcast. But in the end It was Jack son who became the idol of the masses. As the first president from the common people, he stands out as a glorious achievement In the history of America. And now the pen of a southern Oregon dramatist, Prof. An gus L. Bowmer, has caught and re corded the Incidents of Andrew Jack son's life." Mrs. Zeiroff Hostess To Gold Hill Unit. Mrs. P. O.

It further pro vided that grades be published after each grading period and also In cases where anyone is degraded for cause; should this occur the party so affect ed is placed in a lower grade than he was in. until such time as he can again comply for a higher grade. Fundamentally, the milk ordinance, like any other ordinance, Is a regu latory measure and I made primarily for the protection and safety of the consuming public, therefore. If con fidence can be established with this same public that the ordinance la be ing complied with, both in spirit and letter, by producer, distributor, and Its surveillance. Just to that extent It stimulates consumption and makes Medford a more desirable place in which to live, both for those now here, and for all who enter our midst. Viewed rightly, we are all associates, the consumer, producer and distrib utor, and each should appreciate the sincere efforts of the - others to co operate in furnishing a milk supply second to none at a price equal and just to all.
