ROGUE RIVER FISHING.

TO the Rogue river fishing bill Its
latest endeayor was an effort to get
an adverse report from the attorney
generals office as to the legality
OF the measure.
Much Of this opposition comes
from Misunderstanding Of the
facts in the case and much Of It was
created by fishermen who in years
past were not always careful enough
In observing the provisions Of the
fishing regulations. The catching OF
the salmon In the stream during
properly regulated seasons will bene-

ing Of the stream, and as II is the
sport fishing that our Jackson coun-
ty friends profess to be interested
In preserving, 1t would seem rea-
sonable that they would not oppose
the commercial fishing where It is
closely hedged about by stringent
and observed regulations. But they
say that the laws have not always
been observed, and that to open the
river at all has acted as screen be-
hind which the law could be violat-
ed. In this they have undoubtedly
had some cause for complaint in the
past, and unfortunately the sins Of
many, even some OF Jackson coun-
tvs fishermen, have been charged
up TO Grants Pass. The men who
benefit by this commercial fishing
are the very ones who should insist
upon the rigid and complete en-
forcement of the law. The law Is
constructed upon lines that will
serve both the man who fishes for
money and the man who fishes for
sport. There need be no conflict If
those who fish for money are willing
to abide by the reasonable regula-
tions imposed, and not attempt to
piece out their earnings by Illicit
fishing. This agitation for closed
stream has been brought about
largely through the fear that II
would let down the bars, and that
Illegal fishing would result In
Grants Pass the sentiment among
all fishermen is for complete law en-
forcement, and every man will as
sist in seeing that the law is en-
forced to the letter IL changes are
needed later they can be recommend
ed to the legislature.
Undoubtedly the greatest value of
the Rogue lies in its scenic beauty
and the sport which Il offers to the
fisherman The dollars that come
through commercial fishing are some
what more noticeable than those that
are brought in by the sportsman, but
they are no more numerous. The
sport fishing as an asset is seen in
the many desirable citizens who have
located here because OF the fame of
the stream, and the visitors who
come to enjoy the angling privileges
OF the river. This condition is fully
realized in Grants Pass, and here
the citizens are as anxious to see the
fishing OF the stream preserved as are
the Medford people. The present
commercial law enforced as It will
be with the local sentiment strong
for It's enforcement, can work only
for the benefit OF all should It prove
otherwise a large majority OF the
people OF this city win favor It's re-
peal. There is no real difference in
the way that this question is looked
at by Medford and Grants Pass, The
two can meet on common ground.
and each see It's desires fully accomp-
llshed.

STATE HIGHWAY COMMISSIONED

. al Il IllNIl w a OOMMlOOlONEh II
One of the most important offices
that Governor West will be called up
on to fill by appointment is that Of
state highway commissioner. For
this position it is essential that tnere
be named a man who has not only
engineering ability, but who is of
executive ability and OF originality
and resourcefulness as well. Such
a man is City Engineer F. E. Hobson,
who is supported for the appoint
ment by many who are anxious TO see
a business-like administration of the
office.
Mr.. Hobson has proved his worth
in Grants Pass. He has been able to
plan and to execute, and his work
here shows the quality of his service.
He is free from political cllques or
from the influence OF designing
agents of patent road building
schemes, and the governor can not do
better than to put the management
of the state highway system in his
hands.
