Mr. Bhobloy, In his letter, states
furthor that If the racks wore re

allowed to ascend tho river, and If It
wcro poislblo to build a flnhway ovor
tho dnm, tho resultant fry would
havu to return to tho ocean, and on

It would bo a wasto of tlmo and

"Thoro la a plan," continues tho

will exterminate nil tho salmon In

"Kindly explain to tho persons

Is Impractical, and If built tho sal-

hut havo a hard fight against two

It was tho word ot a whlto man

months in tho county Jail awaiting
tho disposition ot his case. Oraham
was charged with selling liquor to In

nesses against him to tho effoct that
ho had sold tho liquor to them for
1C a quirt,

purpose of seeing what progress was
being made with tho examination ot
tho affairs ot the First Stato and
Savings bank. His visit is purely
routine. The work ot examining the
assets of tho bank Is progressing as
rapidly as possible and sufficient
headway has been made so that it
will not bo long, until a dale will be

The stimulating effoct of tho an
nouncement that the bank would re

Inquiries being mado Is Increasing'

"We are beginning to hear from

They breathe tho same loyalty that

It posslblo for its to so soon formulate
plans for reopening and It is what
will mako tho First Stato and Sav
ings bank one ot tho powerful in
stitutions ot Southern Oregon. An
other pleasing and none the less
gratifying feature Is tho large num

this community that augurs well tor
Its expansion and rapid develop

ALL HAVE DUTY
SATS PATRIOTIC
DAT SPEAKER
Judgo D V. Kuykcndall, principal
speaker at tho Chamber of Com
morco forum luncheon this noon,
sounded a popular chord when ho
romlndcd his hearers that oven
though It Is Impossible for ovoryono
to reach tho heights attained by
Washington and Lincoln, locally wo
havo a patriotic duty to perform In
working for tho betterment ot tho
city and county, and that oven
though thoro will be no Abraham
Lincoln to emancipate us, tho com
munity, working harmoniously, can
emancipate itself from tho many ob
structions foolish community discord
has placed In Its path. Partially
summing somo ot the needs ot tho
community, Judgo Kuykendall
named playgrounds for children,
parks, amusement facilities for high
school studonts, tho submorglng ot
tho person who permits bis auto
cut-out to disturb peoplo at any
hour ot tho night, the elimination
of Insanitary conditions, and tho
permanent removal ot flro-traps In
the city. Tho Judge also mentioned
tho high freight rates Imposod by
the Southern Pacific Railway com
pany, which wero excused under tha
gulso ot construction rates, when no
construction work was In progress
by tho railroad company.
Beginning bis talk. Judge Kuy
kendall said that he was somewhat
in tho position ot a person who tried
to rtdo two horses at once, tho chair
man having asked him to talk on
both Lincoln and Washington, bat
that ho would talk between both ot
these great Americans, with, a touch,
ot local color to assist 'film. It wis
hard, he said, to bandlo both sub
jects well. As an illustration, the
Judge said that while the county
court house controversy was holding
the boards alone, he bad no trouble
watching It, but now that tho city
had entered the field with a "scrap"
ot Its own, it bothered him some
what to stretch his neck both ways.
Adequate representation, tho
speaker said, was lacking from this
county, but In view ot the election
difficulties experienced here, It waa
perhaps a good thing that, they had
no representation. Taxation with
out representation, he continued,
was not so bad as taxation without
results, and no good result can b
obtained by this county until foolish,
differences wore waived and har
mony substituted.
W. O. Smith presided at the
luncheon, and handled the task with
the ability ot a person who "knowa
bow." He mentioned Washington
and Lincoln as great Americans who
were similar, and yet dissimilar.
Lincoln, ho said, was known as tha
greatest story teller In Amorlcan
history, and Washington was credit
ed with having never told a He.
Bert C. Thomas read excerpts
from Washington's farewell address,
and William McNealoy read the last
Impressive paragraph ot Lincoln's
Inaugural address, beginning with
tho Immortal werds: "With malice
toward none, and charity toward
all." R. C. Groesbock read tho
American's creed, while the entire
company stood with right band at
tholr foroheads in tho attitude ot
salute. t
Tho Chamber of Commerce quar
tet, composed of1 tho Rev. E. P. Law
rence, R. S. Veatcb, A. B. Epperson
and Dr. E. Mallett, sang several se
lections, which were vigorously en
cored. Following announcements by Sec
rotary T. i). Stanley, the entire as
semblage sang "Tho Star Spangled
Banner," this completing the pro
gram. Seventy-eight mon and one wo
man, Mrs. S. E. Henry, president ot
the .woman's auxiliary ot tho Cham
ber ot Commerce wero prosont. Tha
banquet room ot tho Chamber oS
Commorco quarters la admirably
adapted to the purpose, and every
member and guest seemed to appre
ciate tho greater room and froodom
afforded. The banquet was served
by the ladles ot tho Christian
church.

the nest fornm meeting wll ba held
