FEEDING THE BIRDS
Tidings Representative Accompanied
Game Warden on Rounds of
Hills to Feed Quail.

A member of the Tidings force
had the good fortune to accompany
Deputy Game Warden Hubbard on
one of his trips to feed the quail and
other birds. They left Ashland on
horseback, going up Ashland creek
to the Watson cabin, feeding several
covies on the way. Upon reaching
there they saw where large num-
ber were coming regularly for feed.
Taking up the south fork of the
creek toward the Lamb mine, they
were compelled to leave the trail
because of ice and climb the sides
of the mountain, their horses nego-
tiating hillsides as steep as a house
roof while wading snow nearly two
feet deep.
Once fine covey of quail was
seen, but they had evidently been
hunted great deal and were very
wild. Another time buck jumped
from his hiding and went bounding
up the hillside.
On the way home voices were
heard up on the mountain, where
there was known to be no trail, and
short detour was taken to see if
anyone was trapping quail, but it
proved to be only couple of we'll
known Ashland men out on a skee-
ing expedition.
1t was very evident to the Tidings
representative that Mr.. Hubbard was
not only very alert to capture any
violators of the law, but that he was
interested in protecting and preserv-
ing the game in very way

MOROS ARE DEFEATED
u. $. Soldiers Capture Stronghold of
Head Hunters in Philippines,
After Hard Fight.

Washington, Jan. 29.-Details of
slashing fighting in the Philippines
in which more than 100 Moros have
been slain and hundreds wounded
during the past fow days were re-
ceived here today by the war de-
partment from General Pershing,
who is at the head of the American
expedition.
Pershings cable says that in yes
terday's engagement J. II. Hara of
the eighth cavalry was killed and
Corporal Joseph Bagala and Privates
Clarence Underwood, Roy Keller,
Robert Tracy and Sylvester Young
of the same regiment were danger
ously wounded
The troops besieged the Moros in
their stronghold for three days and
then charged the natives in the face
of withering fire. With drawn sa-
bres the cavalry attacked the twisted
bamboo stockade behind which the
headhunters <crouched, cut through
the tangled underbrush and barbed
wire and with the sweep of cold steel
drove the Moros from their trenches.
In the fortress piles of dead and dy-
ing Moros were found.
After the decisive defeat dealt
the NIT is doubted that the Moros
again will face the American steel,
and it is said that the depredations
of the bolomen will be ended for
ever. Every gun and bolo is expect
ed to be taken from the natives by
the troops who are securing all that
part of the country adjacent to the
Jolo, near where the last fight took
place.

DON'T LIKE PROSPECTS
MedfOrd Commercial Club Not Salts
fled With Proposed Legislation
in Behalf of Good Roads.

Medford, Jan. 25.-Medfordites
returning from Salem are very pes
simistic over securing much good
roads legislation from this legisla>
ture. They state that according TO
indications, an enabling act will
probably be passed to put into effect
the county bondins; amendment, but
little can be hoped for in the line
of state-built or state-aided high
ways.
THE grange has got the goat of
the house committee" said a mem
Der of the Commercial Clubs road
committee who returned Saturday,
and the house roads and highways
committee seems to think that the
two or three grange leaders who are
there as a lobby are the people of
Oregon, and so, because they are op-
posed to state-aided roads or state
built roads or a state highway COM
missioner, that the people of Oregon
are, and are not considering any leg
islation looking to the construction
of a system of highways by the state,
either by direct taxation or bonds
The house committee has reject
, ed Representative Reames' enabling
, act and, instead, endorsed the
grange enabling act, which the peo-
pie of Oregon rejected by a large
vote last November, The machinery
provided is complicated and cumber-
some and it is TO be hoped the sem
ate committee rejects this bill, even
: if the house passes it.
The house roads committee seems
; to think it has solved the highway
problem by its plan to cinch automo-
! bile owners and make them pay
heavy taxes for owning autos. In its
present form this bill is unconstitu-
! tional, besides working an injustice
on the auto owners. There is no
justice in taxing the auto and plac-
ing no tax upon other vehicles. But
the amount of money so raised will
be SO infinitesimal as to be of no
practical benefit.
Millions of dollars should be eX-
! pended upon our highways. Instead
of considering this the Legislature is
considering expending a few thou
! sand in each county-not enough to
make a showing-and as a result the
exposition year will find fine high
ways throughout Washington and
California, and mountain trails in
Oregon.
"No legislation has been intro
duced and none is being considered
for building the Pacific highway
Senator Won der HELEN has intro
duced the best bill yet before either
house, one providing for state aid
and the creation OF highway COM
missioner. He is sanguine of its
passage"

LOCAL ANGLERS
ARE KICKING
DON'T APPROVE OPENING ROGUE
RIVER COMMERCIALLY.
ARE SORE ON REAMES' ATTITUDE
Local SpOrtsmen Declare Action of
jackson County Man in Ignoring
Local SpOrtsmen is Breach of
Trust.

Many local anglers are up in arms
over the action of Representative c..
L. Reames of this county in intro
ducing bill in the legislature to re-
peal the act of the people of Oregon
in closing the Rogue river to COM
mercial fishing except with a hook
and line.
The act in question was passed by
the people on an initiative petition
by a large majority, and the last
legislature, through the efforts of
the Hume interests, which had a mo-
nopoly of the cannery business at
the mouth of the Rogue, passed a
bill opening the river. Governor
West vetoed that bill Mr.. Reames
has introduced similar one this ses-
sion.
The anglers of Ashland and vicin-
ity voted and worked almost solidly
for Mr.. Reames at the last election,
believing that he would abide by his
pledges to guard their interests, and
many of them are now outspoken in
their denunciation of his action in
introducing this bill without at least
consulting them before declaring
that the bill expresses the wishes of
the sportsmen of Jackson county.
They feel that they were at least en-
titled to a hearing and say that they
will be heard in the future if not
now.

GrOwerS Memorabilia Legislature
ON Fruit Inspection Measure.

The attitude of the Mail Tribune
and Professor O'Gara in opposition
to the bill recommended by the
State horticultural Society for a
state horticultural commissioner to
be appointed jointly by the governor,
the president of the State Horticul-
tural Society and the hOrticulturalist
of the experiment station at Corval-
lis is not being kindly received by
local fruit growers, who believe that
the bill should pass. The opposition
seems to be directed against the in
clusion in the appointive power of
representative of the Oregon Agri-
cultural College.
Just why this opposition to the
leading school in the state should
be manifest seems mystery to those
who know Of the good work being
done in the state by the school 1t
would seem impossible that any pro-
fessional jealousy should actuate
Professor O'Gara in the matter. The
attacks of the Mail Tribune on the
o. A. c. for the past few months
have been so continual as to remove
any lingering doubt as to there be-
ing either personal or political
reason behind them, and are react
ing in favor OF the college in this
section.
Fruitgrowers are circulating a pc
tition to the legislature to pass the
bill as recommended by the horticul-
tural society committee, and had
over 5000 acres of orchard repre-
sented, with many of the heaviest
orchard owners who are known to
sympathize with and approve the bill
absent from the city.
