River Fishermen
In LaWleSs Strife

Marshfield, Ore, August 3.-That
state of anarchy exists on Rogue
river and that without protection Of
the courts there is danger Of reign
of lawlessness, was the testimony OF
Roderick Macleay of Portland, presi-
dent of the Macleay estate, owning
large interests in Curry county, CIV
en- before Judge Coke in chambers
last evening.
The Macleay estate owns 1900
acres on Rogue river and operates a
big salmon cannery.
P. A. Seaborg this season opened
an opposition cannery, and it was
alleged last July that men fishing
for Seaborg have trespassed upon the
property of the Macleay estate oper-
ating under the name Of the We'd
derburn Trading Company
Judge Coke issued an injunction
restraining SO persons from trespass- :
ing on the Macleay property or har-
assing the cannery.
1t is now asked that certain fish
ermen be cited to answer for con-
tempt of court.
Macleay testified they had openly
violated the Injunction; had burned
down his fences, attempted to burn
his cannery, put acid on his nets, and
threatened him personally, and that
a state of anarchy had been brought
about. Macleay testified that it is
not local people who are making
trouble, but the men from the out
side who are attempting to terrorize
the community by taking advantage
of its isolation from the rest of the
state, and causing, if continued,
great loss to the petitioner and the
community.
B. X. Lawson, ex-warden of the
state penitentiary at Salem, has been
appointed a special state officer by
Governor Withycombe to preserve
peace on the lower Rogue river,
where fishermen and the manage
ment of the Macleary estate have
been in dispute.
The fishermen, who have been ac-
cused OF trespassing, had signified a
willingness to have the river pa
trolled.

WARM UP TO THE FARMER.

MIR. Town Man, how many ranch
ers around Ashland are you acquaint-
ed with, and with how many are you
really on friendly terms?
Don't you know that our ranchers
are one of the greatest and most val
liable human assets of this commun-
ity, of Ashland?
Don't you know that without them
we would have no town to speak Of,
that we would be just a dot on the
map, or not on It at all?
And don't you think it is to our
interest-to YOUR interest-to know
the rancher better, to make friends
with him, to give him genuine
hearty welcome every time he comes
to town?
Shouldn't we make him feel that
Ashland is HIS town as well as ours
There is not higher type or more
energetic class of ranchers in exist
ence than those of our own commun-
ity.
Let's get close to them-and stay
close.

We dropped into local store the
other day and found a clerk nearly
dead with a sick headache. But
when customer entered few min
utes later he was all smiles and right
to the front with a hearty and
whole-souled greeting, and he kept
his face and his spirits until the Gus
toner departed in a happy frame of
mind-to come again. No, never
mind who it was; but that fellow will
get ahead in the world, and the firm
he is with will always do business
while he is in the foreground.

THE LIGHT THAT NEVER FADES.

Every residence il. This town
should be lighted by electricty, and
every business house, workshop and
professional office should be similar
ly equipped.
And we go a little farther:
Wires should be strung out to
every farm house, and barn, and
granary, and other clubhouse, carry
ing the light that never fades.
The day of the tallow candle has
passed, and the lantern and the coal
oil lamp should soon be on their way.
Electricity today is no more ex-
pensive than the lamp or the candle,
while its effectiveness is increased
a thousand fold.
The way of the modern world is
lighted with electric rays, and the
community that refuses to become
modernsized soon slumbers in the
cobwebs of oblivion.
Let's light up and stay lit.

The editor hereby offers himself
as the first recruit in movement
to clean up this town and keep it
clean. We don't want to be captain,
or lieutenant, or even corporal, and
we don't want any honors. We just
want to see how many of you ener-
getic gentlemen are game to come
forward and plant yourselves by our
side with fixed determination to
make Ashland exactly what 1t ought
to be-a place worthy of the people
who compose its population. Who
will be No. 2 in the ranks?

Why is it men who are as sharp as
tacks in most things are as careless
as an infant in others? Get in a
car and drive around the country and
you will see farm implements every
where exposed to the elements,
plows standing in the fields, now
ers, rakes, wagons and dozens of i'm
plements out in the rain from Janu-
airy to December. Lift five spot
from the pocket of one of those fell
lows and he will want to either lick
you or send you to the penltentiary
to square up for his loss. But he let's
many times that amount go to rack
and ruin in exposing his machinery
and implements to the elements
without an apparent thought as to
their value, Queer-but it's true.

Smith and Jones stood gassing on
a street corner. A young lady passed
by and Smith made pert remark
and both men laughed uproariously.
A few minutes later another lady
tripped along and Jones let loose a
few verbal shots. And then the fight
commenced, for the second lady was
Smiths sister. Moral Think more
and talk less.

Mr.. John Wanamaker of Philadel-
phia, ex-cabinet member, merchant
king, and big man generally, you
have our profound sympathy in this
your hour of meditation, consterna-
tion and evaporation. Your sugges-
ton that the United States pay Ger
many a hundred billion dollars for
Belgium and present that country to
the Belgians, who already own it,
has fallen so flat that even the funny
paragraphers will have nothing to do
with it. Too bad, John, but we fear
you are getting old-old and silly.

With the inventive brains of the
country at the disposal of the gov

safeguard the lives of other people

RAISING FOOD FOR AMERICANS
IN ALASKA.

We've known for some time now
that Alaska is supplying Uncle Sam
with his gold for many years Alas
kan salmon has helped to feed the
people Of the United States; Alaskan
furs have been big item of export;
we have known that pretty soon
Alaska will begin to keep the Pacific
coast warm with her coal; and we
know also that her vast mineral, wa
terpower and timber resources are
practically untouched and that the
future will see an enormous develop
ment in those industries. But we
had never quite realized that Alaska
might be a big storehouse from
which the states could draw large
portion of their food supply. Some
how, it hadn't occurred to us that
cattle raising might some day become
an important item in Alaska's indus
trial development. And so the in
formation which comes from the
United States department of agricul-
ture, showing that successful cattle
raising of ordinary domestic cattle is
even now going on near the Arctic
circle, is rather surprising
In the fall of 1911 j. A. Reiger,
who conducts a road house about fif-
teen miles from the town of Circle
on the road from Fairbanks to Circle,
brought in twenty-six head of young
cattle. He believed that stock could
be wintered on the native hay or
swale grass IL he converted it into
ensilage. He built silo of logs, on
a small creek near his road house,
calked with moss and pointed on the
inside with cement. At the head Of
his creek are large natural meadows
The coarse wild grass was cut, float
ed down the creek, put into the silo
and rammed tight with a small mix
ture of salt.
The stock were grazed in the open
until October 12, after which they
were given the fermented grass,
which they ate eagerly. They were
provided with log barn for shelter
in the extreme winter weather. They
were fed on the ensilage alone until
April of the following spring, when
it was all consumed, and hay had to
be imported. They grew fat on the
salty food and retained excellent
health. At present Reiger has forty
five head of the finest cattle to be
found anywhere, and at no time since
the first winter has he imported any
hay for them.
The Importance of this experiment
lies in the fact that the entire Yukon
flats from Circle to Fort Hamlin,
nearly one hundred miles in width,
furnishes thousands of these natural
meadows on which this grass grows.
With an enormous reindeer indus
try already started in Arctic Alaska
and already shipping reindeer
meat to the states, with the introduc-
tion of domestic cattle in interior
Alaska, and with the breeding sta
tions of the agricultural department
proposing to develop a special strain
for the country, the future of the
meat industry in Alaska looks very
promising.

 France did not declare war against Austria until the tenth, and England followed two days later. Montenegro also declared war against Germany the same day.

Holland is getting together 3 million men, il is said, to be prepared for eventaalities. Holland is friendly with the allies, rather than with Ger many. That is to say, should she be drawn into the war, it will be upon the side of the allies rather than up on the side of Germany. Holland is afraid oe Germany, in the sense that she seems to believe Germany has her eyes upon a Holland port. Be sides, Holland does not relish the oc- cupation of Antwerp by the Germans.
 NorWly, Denmark and Sweden have given no indication of their prefer ences. They seem to have remain ed absolutely neutral. But the truth is since Germany invaded Belgium, all of the little coan ries of Europe are alarmed and somewhat antagonis- tic to Germany.

PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

There are now eleven nations at war, and it is some trouble for the average man to keep the progress of events clear in his mind. Put it is such a tremendous event in the history of hte human race, it is go- ing U be So long before there is any thing else big to talk about, that we ought to study it very closely, and remember as many of the details as possible. For the rest of our lives it will be the greatest subject on earth to discuss. We shall never again be able to get away from 1t, and from it's various features, Unto the end of time, so far as we are concern ed tlis war will be the shaping event in history.
 The countries at war are England. France, Russia. Belgium. Japan, Italy Servia and Montenegro on one side, and Germany, Austria Hungary and Turkey on the other side. Those fighting with England are called the Allies, and the others arc generally referred to as the Teatms, because Germany, a Teutonic nation, domin- ates.
