The authorities of Jackson county
are looking for Merle Reynolds, a
Medford youth on parole from the
circuit court on charge of forging
checks, as suspect in the recent epi-
demic of burglaries in Medford, Ash
land and Grants Pass. Reynolds has
disappeared since the crimes. 1t is
reported that he has joined the navy,
but this cannot be confirmed.
Both Eugene and klamath Falls

The scenic highway which is under
course of construction around Pros

for the work and exclamations over
the wonderful views obtainable along
the route were heard.

HOSIer Advises
Fishing Equipment

Harry Hosler of the Ewauna cigar
and sporting goods store, who is one
of the most successful anglers of
southern Oregon and is considered
as an authority on the subject of fish
and fishing, gives the following list
of necessary tackle and equipment
for shaking out the elusive denizens
of the creeks and rivers of the val
ley: The pole should be of fair
weight and can be either a common
bamboo or the more expensive split
bamboo jointed rod. The line should
be of good quality and should be able
to stand test of thirty pounds. The
matter of reel is optional with the
fisherman, some preferring one kind
and some another, but a good reel
adds considerably to the sport. The
hook should be number two and
the bait used fresh salmon eggs.
About six feet of leader and a sinker
consisting of two buckshot complete
the outfit necessary. Many other
conveniences and knicknacks may be
added which will add to the pleasure
of the excursion. A plentiful supply
of fish eggs should be taken along,
as nothing is so aggravating as run
ming out of bait. Another necessity
which should be mentioned is a fish.
ing license, which costs one dollar
one license, however, allowing the
holder to fish during the entire cur
rent year.
Our expert failed to mention one
very necessary adjunct, without
which any all-day trip would be in
sipid and unenjoyed, and that is a
great big lunch. The writer, VINO
has tried it and knows, would suE
gest that the prospective fisherman
take about twice as much food as he
deems necessary, and even then there
will not be any crumbs left.
Bear creek is lined with fishermen
from here every day lately and nearly
all are having fine success Some
big fish are being brought in, and of
course numerous monsters are
hooked but lost.

SISKIYOU PAVING
FUND BILL DEFERRED

Salem, Ore.-After a stormy de-
bate, the house Thursday sent back
to the committee on roads and high
ways a bill introduced by Representa-
tive Vawter, authorizing the state
highway commission to expend 20
per cent of it's funds for the bien-
mum to aid Jackson county in COM
pleting the Pacific highway over the
Siskiyou mountains.
Vawter, in championing his bill,
declared that Jackson county had ex-
pended 100000 under the direction
of the state highway commission in
building link of the Pacific highway
over the mountains and that it would
require $4,000 more to connect it
with the link of the road being built
in California. He represented that
the county would not be able to make
any more expenditure should it so
desire. Porter, of Douglas, fought
the bill, declaring that his county
would need aid from the commission
in building the Pacific highway. He
called attention to the fact that Jack
son county received aid last year
from the commission, and that Doug
las received none. Upon the conclu.
sion of the debate the bill was re-
ferred to the committee on roads and
highways, that the representatives Of
Jackson, Douglas and Josephine
counties might consider it, and if pos
sible map out some plan looking t.
the completion of the road

DIVIDE OVER LEASING
FERRIS BILL BEFORE WATER
POWER CONFERENCE.
National Drainage Congress Appropri
alton to Carry on Work Of Drain
ing 10000. 900 Acres.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Portland, Ore.-One big target was
before the Western States Water
Power Conference which assembled
here-the so-called Ferris bill for the
regulation of power development on
the public domain.
This bill, which passed one house
of Congress but did not reach a vote
in the Senate at the last session, will
be reintroduced and if today's mani
festations might be taken as any in
dication, will meet much opposition
from western congressman, many of
whom wish to give the states extern
sive or complete control over the re-
sources within their domains.
The talk, however. was not alto
gether one-sided. Henry S. Graves.
Forestry, argues sturdily that the Fer
ris bill was in line with development
along the general line of public con
troll.
He cited increased regulation of
railroads, the general abolition of
perpetual franchises and other mani
festations to support his case.
The conference quickly divided
itself into two camps; one favoring
absolute control by the separate states
of all the natural resources, while the
other advocated continued federal su-
pervision over the public domain.
Delegates to the conference and in
vited speakers and guests were vel
coined by Gov. James Withycombe.
Each of our states is held in leash, -
he said, "a leash grasped by federal
government none too indulgent, none
too sympathetic with the best mean
ing of the phrase states rights and
certainly none too familiar in some
phases of it's bureaucratic paternalism
with the facts as they exist in the
West today"
