Moreover they eat more beef per

Figures for meat eating in 1909,
just made public by the Bureau Of
Animal Industry, of the department
OF Agriculture, show that the per
capita consumption OF meat for that
year in the United States, was 1862 20

DOING EFFECTIVE WORK.

The Fish and Game Protective as
sociation has taken hold of the pro-
ject Of creating the worlds greatest
playground and at the same time
solving some OF the economic prob
lens OF the age with an enthusiasm
that will surely spell success. The
officers and members OF the associa-
ton are not approaching their sub
ject with any degree OF timidity, but
are laying the base along extensive
lines. They are educating the pub
lie at the same time that they are
developing the idea they have in
mind. BY novel methods they show
the value Of the game animal and
the necessity for protecting him
from his enemies. But meantime
they are up and doing, and are ac-
complishing results. Their activity
extends over only a short period as
yet, but they have laid the ground
work for great undertaking and
have commenced the practical work
Of restocking the forests and the
streams. First the liberating of
10000 trout fry in the county
streams, with like number TO be
liberated next week, proves the ef
fective work which they have done
along that line. They have likewise
made arrangements for the liberating
OF many varieties OF game birds this
season, these to be shipped from the
state game farm at Corvallis.
There are none VINO dispute the
beauty OF the southern Oregon hills
or their attractiveness to the lover
Of the beauties OF nature. But they
have been depleted Of much OF their
wild life through the greed OF that
highest" form OF animal, man, and
II is now right that man should
make good the destruction he has
wrought The local association is
going at this In an intelligent and an
effective manner. II is entitled to
the assistance Of every thinking man
and woman In It's effort.

DON'T DELAY THE GAME.
be the fashion

Crescent City is setting the pace
for Grants Pass. She has shown her
desire to assist in bringing better
business conditions and in Fastening
the building Of the new railroad by
activity in raising the bonus that the
promoters and the hackers of the
project have demanded. There was
no delay by the people Of the coast
city in meeting the obligation that
had been placed upon them, and the
$500 that was asked is now
practically all raised while Grants
Pass is still sucking It's thumb over
the raising OF only 100000, and has
made no effort toward doing its part.
Under date OF August 1st, Judge
John L. Childs, OF Crescent City,
writes as follows:
THE subscription TO the railroad
bonus in Del Norte county up to
noon today amounts to the sum Of
s1s6,650. Hope that Grants Pass
is doing its part"
Over the long distance telephone
wire Judge Childs says that the
bonus there will reach the required
$3.50, 900, and he wants TO know why
Grants Pass has not made equal pro-
gress.
This city is asked to raise but
100000 as against two and one
half times as much by the much
smaller city at the coast end Of the
line. This amount should have been
pledged before now, In which event
the people here would have been in
position to ask that the company
make haste to come through with it's
end OF the bargain There is no
question about the willingness of the
people to pledge 100000 to be paid
when the road is built through to
the coast, and the quicker they are
solicited the better It will be for the
success OF the project. This city
should not be in a position where It
can be charged with delaying the
game.

fruit will approach the perfection Of

lighter than last year, but there are

can do is to get busy and meet the
condition imposed upon her. The
quicker it is done the quicker the
rails will get to salt water. There

barely per cent Of the total meat
supply When We compare this small
consumption Of mutton with that Of

presented.
Our small consumption no doubt
Is mainly attributable TO the exceed

But the day OF cheap meat is past
