TOUGH
ON THE
TROUT
Law by Implication Permits Them
Being Caught in Any Way

1t is claimed that there is now no
closed season for trout other than
those in the Umpqua river and its
tributaries. This condition has been
bought about by an amendment to
section 2O33, which, while repeating
the old section makes no closed sea-
son for any stream other than the
Umpqua.
The section as ameded reads
''It shall be unlawful for any per-
son to take, catch of kill or have In
possession any trout except salmon
trout, during the months of Decem-
ber, January and February of any
year, taken from the waters of the
Umpqua river or its tributaries, or
at any time to take, catch, kill, or
have In possession any trout, char
or salmon less than five inches in
length, or to take, catch or kill the
same by any means whatever except
with hook and line, commonly called
angling
1t 1 held that the closed season
provision Of this amendment of the
old law applies only to the Umpqua
river and its tributaries, leaving no
law whatever providing a closed sea-
son for trout fishing in any other
stream In the state. The bill was in
troduced by Representative Jackson
of Roseburg, and was passed without
changes The amendment is found on
page 50 Of the 1907 session laws.
The old section, which was super
seded by Jackson's bill and is no
longer in force, was:
II is doubtful If the law would
stand test of the courts. And he who
interprets the new section to mean
that he can catch fish at any old
time may find bunch of trouble.
II, however, the law will stand
then IL is equally cetrain that the
trout may be killed with dynamite,
caught with a net, or any other old
way the fisherman sees At to try, for
the same amedment, makes II un-
lawful to take, catch, kill or have In
possession any trout char or salmon
less than five inches in length or to
take, catch or kill the same by any
means whatever except with hook and
line, commonly called angling. This
clause applies, as is easily seen to
fish under Ave inches in length in
the waters OF the Umpqua only.

The Cars Pinched Him.

Ed. Wright. the genial conductor
on the Cemetery-Fair Grounds car,
sustained a painful accident yester-
day morning about s o'clock, in
front of the Portland General Elec-
tric Office on Commercial street. Mr..
Wright was adjusting the coupling
of his car, when one OF the motor
men, in endeavoring to bring his car
to the coupling, turned the power
on too suddenly, and the two cars
together caught Mr.. Wright,
breaking three ribs and painfully
bruising him about the body.

Why Fifteen Cent
Cotton is Conservative

Fifteen cents per pound, basis
miduling, is fair and just to the
grower because, first: the price
Of all staple commodities are
higher than ever known before
even where supplies of the raw
material are abundant, as in the
case Of coal, iron and oil; second,
because the supply of raw cotton
is limited and the prices of sup
plies and labor to make the crop
are higher than ever before in
the past; third, because the price
of yarn and manufactured goods
is abnormally high and advancing
to higher levels every week;
fourth, because the mills can pay
Is cents for the raw product and
continue to prosper as they are
now doing; fifth; because the
trade conditions of the entire
world were never in a more
healthy condition and likely to
remain SO far an indefinite period;
sixth, because the production of
gold is on the increase and more
economically mined; seventh, be-
cause the cotton growers of the
South are entitled to a good pro-
fit on the product of their labor
as is capital invested in any other
line of business in the world.
These are reasons enough to
clearly demonstrate the argu-
ments we are making and insist
ing upon for a staple price of at
least fifteen cents this season for
the cotton crop grown and to be
marketed in the season of 1913.

the Boys for Life Work

Inc cry comes repeatedly from
many who employ boys in vari-
Gus callings that they had so few
lads properly prepared for the
situations they are needed to fill.
While it is true that all the COM
mercial colleges, schools of man
ual training and technology are
crowded with earnest young per
sons, seeking to fit themselves
for responsible places in life, the
fact remains that the younger
element Of youths who are seek
ing employment, who are often
unable to even complete the edu-
cation provided in the public
schools are often totally useless
in any but the lowest and most
mental occupations.
Does not the fault largely lie
at the door of those charged with
the public elementary education
of our boys and girl? Should not
the principal efforts of all educa-
ton be to rightly fit each child
for the best and highest calling
that is possible? When a pupil
starts at the lowest grade of
school life, he or she should esti-
mate as to the possible future
position they may occupy and
such preliminary steps in their
culture just the cultivation of
each child as shall quickest and
ablest fit in their development.
Book learning must be aided by
experimental training. This isa
principle that is now the key
note of many of orr best schools
and colleges. Is it not possible
for the schools of Biloxi to make
a beginning in the application of
this maxim in the next term?

The Story of Eleven Poor
Lows.

John Adams, second President,
was the son of a grocer of very
moderate means. The only start
he had was a good education.
Andrew Jackson was born in
a log hut in North Carolina, and
was reared in the pine wood for
which the state is famous.
James K. Polk spent the EARL
er years of his life helping to
dig a living out of a new farm in
North Carolina. He was after
wards a clerk in a country store.
Willard Fillmore was the son
of a New York farmer, and his
home was an humble one. He
learned the business of a clothier.
James Buchanan was born in a
small town in the Allegheny
mountains. His father cut the
logs and built the house IN what
was then a wilderness.
Abraham Lincoln was the son
of a wretchedly poor farmer in
Kentucky, and lived in a log
cabin until he was twenty-one
years old.
Andrew Johnson was appren-
ticed to a tailor at the age of ten
years by his widowed mother.
He never was able to attend
school, and picked up all the ed
ucation he ever had.
Ulysses S. Grant lived the life
of a village boy in a plain house
on the banks Of the Ohio River
until he was seventeen years of
age.
James A. Garfield was born in
a log cabin. He worked on the
farm until he was strong enough
to use carpenters tools, when he
learned the trade. He after
ward worked on a canal.
Grover Cleveland's father was
a Presbyterian minister with a
large family and a small salary.
The boys had to earn their liv.
ing.
William McKinley's early
home was plain and comfortable,
and his father was able to keep
him in school. Rocky Noun

1t is a comfort to know that
the primaries are over. A dreari-
er campaign was never known
to the State. The discussions
were as a general rule of a
administrative order; the pol
icies suggested were mere out
lines to be filled in as best suited
the auditors, and lily considered
as regards results and effects.
Few arguments were submitted
that appealed to reason, judg-
ment or mans better nature. To
be sure John Sharp Williams in
his speeches endeavored to carry
his hearers into the great lines
of thought that now pervade the
national and international mind,
and gave discussion, color and
tone beyond the bounds of pro-
vincialism, but the conditions of
the campaign were so shaped as
to force him to accept whatever
castor was tossed into the loren
sic arena. 1t was a dreary
waste, the campaign that yester-
day concluded; a contest novel
to Mississippi. May we never
see it's like again. Aberdeen
Examiner.
