FISHERMEN SUSPECTED
OF CATCHING FISH

Who would suspect a party COM
posed of Deputy Prosecutor John
ston, Judge Opdycke, Former Mayor
Myers and Barney Hall of having
more fish than the law allows? Ger
tainly the mortal who would must be
suffering from a delusion or from a
superabundance of Medford spirit.
Tuesday evening this party was auto
ing along the road between the Ament
dam and this city on the south side
of the river when they were summar-
lily halted by the roadside, and an in
dividual who said he was a deputy
fish warden and that he came from
Medford proceeded to look through
their effects for contraband fish. OF
course he found no fish of any kind;
no one ever did see that crowd with
fish.
The next auto down the road was
driven by Elmer Dunbar, who, with
Il. A. Robie, was returning from Med
ford. These gentlemen thought it
was a sure-enough hold-up, and COM
menced hunting through their pockets
to see if they had escaped from Med
ford with any of their hard earned
ducats left. When asked about fish,
they disclaimed ever having seen
one, and came on their way rejoicing.
An auto containing party OF
tourists headed for Crescent City
was next held up by the denizen of
Bear creek valley, and little later,
when news of the hold-ups reached
the sheriff's office, the sheriff and his
chief deputy started out in an auto
in the hope that they, too, might en-
Joy the distinction of a hold-up. The
wearer of the badge Of authority

fects of the "Medford spirit"

COMMERCIAL CLUB ASKS L. s
OFFICIAL HERE.
TO VISIT MARBLE CAVES
Would Eliminate Several Sections
From the Siskiyou Forest
Reserve.

Henry S. Graves, chief forest rang
er of the United States, will be asked
to stop off in Grants Pass on his
present tour of the coast, and to pass
upon several questions regarding the
public lands of this vicinity. He will
also be asked to visit the Marble
Caves of Josephine county, and to
lend his influence, If on investigation
he thinks 1t advisable, to change the
cave territory from national manu-
ment to national park.
This action was determined upon
at the regular meeting of the Com
mercial club Monday evening, and an
urgent invitation will be forwarded
to Mr.. Graves, who is now in Port
land, where he will remain during all
of this week, to stop in Grants Pass.
There are number OF sections Of
land in the Illinois valley country
that are included within the boun-
daries of the Siskiyou national for
est, but which are lightly timbered
and which cleared would make ex-
cellent agricultural lands. 1t is de-
sired that these sections be thrown
open to homestead settlement, and II
is thought that II Mr.. Graves would
make personal investigation that
the order would follow. Efforts along
this line in the past have been un-
successful. The club authorized the
appointment of a committee of three
of its members to place these matters
properly before the chief forester II
he will accept the request to come.
The construction of a wagon road
through the forest to the caves will
also be taken up with Mr.. Graves on
his present visit.
Mazamas Are Thankful.
A communication from the Ma
zamas submitting to the club the
resolutions recently adopted by the
organization was read, expressing the
gratitude of the mountain climbers
for their treatment here, and for the
great pleasure of the trip to the
caves. The Mazamas pledged their
support in every way possible in max
ing the caves known to tourists.
Agricultural Expert Discussed.
r. X. Hackett called the attention
OF the club to a law passed by the
last state legislature whereby the
state will give $1,000 to the counties
that make like appropriation from
their funds toward the maintenance
Of an agricultural and horticultural
expert in the county, the expert to
work in harmony with and under the
direction OF the state agricultural col
lege in furtherance of the state pol
icy of agricultural extension Mr.

at their recent convention endorsed
the plan, A committee from the club
