Observance of
Sunday.

The Divine Architect of the un-
iverse hallowed one day out of
seven to be Sabbath and dav
OF rest and devotion to the SER
ious things of lite. 1t is a dav
dedicated to thought and rever.
ence.
This day is not one for sports
and pleasures. That is not the
intent or foundation Of its obser
vance. Base. ball and other
sports should not be tolerated on
the Sunday.
The Sunday is a time for medi
tation and quietness. 1t is no
time for loudness and boisterous
sports and games.
Oakley people are firmly oppos.
ed to PROCLAMATION of the Sabbath
day. Ii we cannot have base =
ball except on Sundays, we are
better without it.
We know however, that we
can have baseball and atheletic
sports and can have them at a
time when all can enjoy them.
We can have and should have
have a half holiday every week
tor these sports and recreations.
but we cannot afford to profane
the Sabbath Day.
1t is a holy day, and not hol-
Iday.

Quiet Pleasures.
ALL SHOULD ENJOY THE BEAU
TIES OF NATURE.

i
There are many pleasures to
be enjoyed in every place for
which their is no price to be paid
there is nothing required of YOU
but the power of appreciation
and enjoyment.
Nature is very prodical of her
gifts in southern Idaho, but in no
place more so than in Oakley
and its environs. Our trees and
landscapes are things of beauty,
and a Joy for ever.
We can see around us in the
material form of our mountains
and our streams, in our trees and
our beautiful vistas the source of
power and happiness. They fur
nish the highest form of art and
glory known to humanity.
When we are alive to the beau
ties of nature, we are truly alive.
and not till then.
We are then in communion
with the soul of the Universe. Az
Wordsworth says, 1.-The world
is too much with us" He means
the material, sordid world of
business. He laments that we
do not enjoy the beauties of nat
ure SO bountiously spread before
us.
Nature excites our feelings and
occupies our imagination, and
pleases and delights us. Nature
is always beautiful. 1t causes
the inmost fibers of our beings to
vibrate in harmony. This is true
pleasure, true happiness; and ma
ture alone is able to produce
this.
This is indeed being in tune
with the Infinite. Greater hap
plness hath no man than this.

Clerk,

We believe that there is too
much )oitering of children on our

there should be curtew every
night at "a specified hour, and no
children allowed out after the

We believe that the general eff
ect of such an ordinance will be
beneficial and we know that all
sensible parents would support
such a measure.

Gambling.

III an article unOcr TINS hcad1nR
and published by the Burley Bull
letin under date OF June 13, 1913
we get the impression that the
county officers are censured for
the efforts made to enforce the
gambling laws as provided in
our statute books in this state.
And in the same article we are
ccnsured for not going outside
OF the statute and handle pro-
miscous betting, which our legis-
lators have not seen fit to pro-
ide for.
Sc far az the Sheriffs Office is
concerned, we have said that we
stand for the enforcement of the
laws as they stand on our stat
ute books, and there is where we
intend to stand all through the
game.
And we think that will take
sufficient OF our time and the
counties money without going
outside Of the Statute, and jeo-
pardising our bond and laying
the county liable to damage
suits.
We have tried to. inform our
selves as to what our duties are,
and we appreciate very much all
the encouragement we can get
from the newspapers, and we
realize this fact that they are q
very strong factor in creating
sentiment, either for or against
our success.
We think our Legislatures have
taken the more sensible view in
the matter that this article in the
Bulletin call to our attention,
and have lett the handling of
these matters to the cities, vii
lagos and their respective officers
Chapter 9 of the revised Codes
OF the State of Idaho, make it
a misdemeanor to play at certain
games, naming them, or for u.s.
ing cards, dice or other gambling
device for money. checks or re-
presentatives of value, but no.
thing covering promiscous bet,
ting.
Our present Legislators recoK-
nised the fact, that their was
nothing in our laws covering
such, and they went a little tar
ther and gave us SO me legislation
along these lines, as we find by
referring to chapter 76, Session
Laws of 1918, but that is not in
effect until the last day OF the
present month, June 1918.
The Sheriff would like very
much to be in attendance at all
the ball games but we do not
think the people would like to
take care of his expense even if
other duties and obligations
would permit.
But there is much better
way, let your village ordinances
provide for taking care of your
ball games and amusements. and
then use your Village Marshals,
who are always on the ground,
and In better position to ham
die these matters than the Sheriff
would be, even if it were possible
for him to ofrom place through
out the country.
Your Obedient Servant.

WARE
HOUSE FOR
SALMON
Gill Meters Pre-
pare for Season
of Commercial
Fishing in Rogue

The commercial fishermen of the
city are preparing for the sixty days
Of open season which will commence
on the Srd day OF June, in accord
with the law passed at the last ses-
sion Of the state legislature.
The interests of the fishermen To-
cally are in charge Of the officers OF
the fishermen's union, of which or
ganization Tap Cole is president, and
H. q. Gething secretary and man
ager. A fish warehouse 12x12 feet
in the clear, with cement floor, is to
be erected on ground which the
union has leased from the city OF
Grants Pass, the site being nine
tenths of an acre on the edge of the
city dump ground. A three-year
lease is taken on the property. and
the union agrees to keep the prem
ises in sanitary and wholesome
condition at all times.
Ten boats belonging to members
Of the union are now ready to conn
mence fishing With the ofezins 5s
] 1.-THE season. Each beat will drift with
its nets from a point mile below the
steel bridge, where the fishing is to
commence, to the mouth Of the
Jump-0 -0ff-Joe creek, the down stream
limit, where the nets must be raised.
This fishing is done at night, and
wagons meet the boats at the lower
end of the fishing water, and bring
back boats, fishermen and catch. The
fishing water covers distance OF
about fifteen miles.
All members of the fishermen's
union will take the salmon caught
during the night to the concrete
warehouse on the banks of the
Rogue, and here the royal chinooks
will be prepared for shipment. They
will also be offered for sale to any
one who wishes to purchase them at
the price being paid by the Portland
market, which usually ranges
around seven or eight cents per
pound. No fish will be cut up at
the warehouse, but whole fish will be
sold at the ruling price. All not sold
locally will then be shipped to the
market that is making the best re-
turns, the bulk probably going to
Portland, although in past years
when fishing was permitted ship
ments were made to many points to
the south.
In other years when the fishing
season was longer and more Of the
stream was open to the gill nettefs.
thirty boats operated on the river.
This year the number will not exceed
half OF that number as only two or
three that are outside the union are
expected to operate.
