Illegal Slaughter of Fish.

Medford Mail Tribune: There
seems to be something peculiarly de-
moralizing about market fishing
just as there is about market hunt
ing. No law, designed for the pro-
lection of fish, and hence to benefit
the fishermen themselves in the long
run, is safe from violation. If the
fishermen cannot get the fish fast
enough legitimately, they immediate
ly resort to illegitimate means.
The Rogue river and its tributaries
was closed by the people of Oregon
to all except rod and line fishermen.
The latter have been permitted to
sell salmon only when caught with
rod and line. That has not prevent
ed the few market fishermen who
haunt the stream from resorting to
both nets and dynamite.
Thousands of dead fish line the
banks of the stream, mute testimoni-
ais to the persistent lawlessness of
the fishermen-and suspicion points
to the market fishermen, for incen-
tive is lacking for others. The half
dozen nets confiscated also speak for
their illegal activity.
The season is too far advanced now
to make salmon fishing profitable.
The fish are spawning and unfit to
eat. 1t is only an occasional one
that is unspotted Hence we find
the market fishermen devoting them
selves to catching steelhead and
other trout, the sale of which is pro-
hibited by law. Go along the river
near the camp Of any market fisher
men, and you will find not only
dynamited fish, but various holes
baited with salmon eggs for trout
Why do market fishers catch steel.
head, except to violate the law by
selling them?
Every fish market that purchases
steelhead of other trout violates the
law. Every person who purchases
them from the markets, or from the
fishermen, violates the law and is
subject to arrest, fine and imprison.

more in few minutes than the
hatchery can turn out?
The steelhead and trout are most
ly marketed under the guise O
gifts" The fish are presents
from the market fisherman NJ
money changes hands at the time
but it does subsequently or previous
ly. No market fisherman can make ;
living by carrying his catch from the
river to give away, and those suppos
edly lawabiding, respectable citizens
in conspiracy with him ought to b,
ashamed of themselves-they are
miserable kind of sportsmen.
The wanton abuse OF their privi
lege by market fishermen can onl,
have one result-the absolute pro
hibition of the sale of all fish, n,
matter how caught. By their illega
acts these fishermen have not onl
brought upon themselves the indig
nation of the community, but hav
, created a strong public sentiment t
put them out of business altogether
They have proved themselves un
worthy of trust.

Mr.. Adams Important Business.

Many people there are who de-
light in just fishing for fish. Such
one was John Quincy Adams. The
story was told by one of his clients,
whose case was to be tried on a GER
tain morning, that he could not get
his counsel to leave his fishing boat
except long enough to write a note
to the judge, which read: Dear
Judge: For the sake of old Izaak
Walton, please continue my case un-
til Friday. The smelt are biting and
can't leave And the Judge, hav-
ing read the note, announced to the
court: ''Mr. Adams is detained on
important business"

ANTS DANGEROUS PESTS
Fruit Growers Warned Against Their
Aid to Other Pests BY Assist
ing in Propagation.
Ashland, Ore, Sept. 26, 1912.


Editor Tidings: An article enti-
tied Notes About Ants and Their
Resemblance to Man" appearing in
the current issue of the National
Geographical Society's Magazine,
contains a paragraph which is of
vital. interest to orchardists. That
the spread of the apple aphis and
peach aphis-which are rapidly be-
coming the most troublesome of our
orchard pests-is in some way helped
bv the ants must be the conclusion
drawn by every intelligent observer
who has had to deal with the pest
for a number of years, and he will
be quite prepared to believe, as
founding as they may appear, the
statements made in the article re-
ferred to. The author is Professor
William Morton Wheeler of Harvard
University, an undoubted authority
on the subject. Evidently the ant is
to be regarded by the fruit growers
in the light of an enemy, and since
it is hopeless to attempt its extermin-
alton, the only way of preventing
the mischief caused by his epicurean
desires would seem to make it impos-
sible for him to ascend the tree.
This should be done early in the
spring by painting a narrow band
around the tree with some sticky
preparation such as "tanglefoot."
WILLIAM TAVERNER.
Professor Wheeler says:
"One of the earliest departures
from an exclusively animal diet is
seen among the ants which attend
plant lice and feed on. their sacchar-
inc eXcrement. Many ants
are so inordinately fond of this food
that they not only acquire an init
mate acquaintance with the habits
of the adult plant lice and scale in
sects, but actually collect and store
their eggs in the nests during winter
in order that they may during the
ensuing spring distribute the hatch
ing young over the roots or foliage
of the plants. This is a well-devel-
oped habit among the species of
Lasius throughout temperate North
America and Eurasia."

GRADED SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT.
Baccalaureate Sermon by Rev. Mr..
Fulenwider in Opera House
Clerical Error on Invita-.
tiOnS.

1t seems that there is some misun-
derstanding as to the place Of the bac-
calaureate sermon to the high school
finishing class. This sermon will !e
preached by Rev. Edw. Fulenwider in
the city opera house Sunday evening
at $50 o'clock, and it is hoped that a
large audience will be present
I desire also to state that the alb
sence of Miss Annie KILLERS name on
the high school invitations was alto
gether an oversight of the printers.
Miss Annie has stood well in all her
classes throughout the year and it is
with regret that we found her name is
not on the invitations. AS has been
said before, the senior class of the
high school numbers eighteen young
ladies and two boys. All these will
finish and Miss Annie Kibler takes
high stand in her class.

DIR. J. B. Halfacre, died at her home
in the city on Wednesday morning at
1.35 o'clock. Mrs. Halfacre was 81
years old. She had been unwell for
the past several weeks, but her condi-
ton was not thought to be at all Sc
rious until a day or two before she
died, and her death came as a surprise
and shock to the community at large.
Mrs. Halfacre was consistent and
devoted member of the A. r. P. church,
and the vacancy Of her place in the
congregation, as well as in the home
and in the community, will be sadly
felt. Before her marriage she was Miss
Lula Amelia Neal. Her mother was
formerly Miss Fannie Reid. Her faith
er was Spencer Neal, who was killel
att the battle of Chickamauga Septem-
Der 1920, 1863.
Besides her husband Mrs. Halfacre

lows: Mrs. w F. Hipp, of Spartan
burg; Messrs. F. H. and P. S. Halfacre
Miss Ruth, Mary Frances, Lula Neal
and Elizabeth, all of the city.
The interment was at Rosemont
cemetery Wednesday afternoon at s
O'Clock, service at the grave conducted
by her pastor, tine Rev. ]. W. Carson.
The pallbearers were Messrs. w. H.
Hunt, l. H. Hunt, j. B. Hunter, F.
R. Hunter, J. H. Summer and Dr.. O..
B. Mayer.
The sympathy of all is extended to
the bereaved husband and children in
the hour of sorrow at the death of
this loving and beloved wife and
mother, who will be mourned and miss
ed by them and by large circle of
other relatives, and numbers of friends
who were attracted to her by her
genial disposition and friendly man

MR.. JOE WILBUR INJURED.
Sharp Blade Strikes Him in Chin
Narrow Escape From Much More
Serious Injury.

Mr.. Joe Wilbur, of the Wilbur broth
ers, who conduct a dairy and modern
farm, about two miles west of New
berry, met with a very serious acci-
dent on Wednesday, but which fortu-
nately will not prove fatal. He was
operating cutting machine prepar-
ing provender for the silo when one
of the blades broke and struck Mr..
Wilbur on the face just above the chin,
inflicting a very ugly cash and a
severe wound. The machine was be-
ing run by a gasoline engine. If the
blade had struck just a little bit low
er, it is probable that Mr. . Wilbur's
throat would have been cut, and he
would have been instantly killed.
DR.! w. G. Houseal was summoned
and dressed the wound, and it was
stated on Thursday afternoon that Mr..
Wilbur was doing nicely, and that no
bones were broken, and no serious re-
suits feared.
