Van Wrinkles opinion as written
from Cranston said in part:
while you do not state the con-
flict which is claimed to exist, | am
informed by the letter of A. E.
Reames, representing the Rogue Riv-
er Fish Protective Association, that
it is claimed the conflict is between
the provisions in the title to pro-
hibit the fishing for, or taking from,
Rogue river or any of its tributaries,
at or above the mouth of the Illinois
river or from the Illinois river or its
tributaries any fish OF any kind, ex-
cept with hook and line, commonly
called angling, and section five of
the act which does not absolutely
prohibit the taking of fish from
Rogue river above the mouth of the
Illinois river, but leaves open sea-
sons when fish can be taken and reg
ulates the taking thereof"
After citing various court opin-
ions and rules of law, the opinion
says
For these reasons it seems to me
that the statute, while there may be
some ambiguity in the respect point
ed out, should be considered as valid
and binding upon the administrative
officers of the state to carry it into
effect until such time as it is held
unconstitutional by the courts, and if
such time should ever arise, bearing
in mind that the court will hold valid
unless it is Enthusiastically in conflict
with the constitutional require
ment."

RAILROADS IN GERMANY.
No Danger OF a Train Starting Until
Everything Is Ready

A returned traveller who spent much
OF his time, In Germany drifted into
the observation of railroading in the
empire. He rode the most on local
trains, though not having set pur.
pose, and proceeded only for short dis.
tances.
On one OF these vugrant trips he had
surrendered his ticket and had nothing
on his mind but his destination when
the conductor came and said
Extra fare, please"
"WhyT demanded the experienced
voyager.
Because" answered the conductor,
i've have cut out five stops and the
train Is now an express"

he first beheld the start of German
railroad train. The impression Is self
evidently vivid to have lasted so long
