FISH AND GAME
PROBLEM SETTLED

State Capitol, Salem, Ore.-A new
fish and game commission drafted to
wipe out the present commission, re-
organize the fish and game depart
ment and dispose of the knotty fish
and game problem, was passed Fri
day
The measure provides for a COM
mission of five members, of which the
governor is to be the chairman. The
four other members are to be ap-
pointed by the governor. Two of
them must live in that part of the
state west of the Cascades and two
in that part east of the Cascades.
This commission is empowered to
appoint a master fish warden and
state game warden each at a salary
of $4,000 year. The bill also pro-
vides an educational and biological
department. An ample supply of
deputy fish and game wardens is pro-
vided.
The fund problem is disposed of
by having all the money collected
from game and fish licenses turned
into the state treasury, where it is
to be retained in a separate account
for game protection purposes. The
state treasurer will have access to
the money at all times for other pur-
poses, but the fish and game commits
sion will have power to draw upon
the fund to the extent in which fish.
ing and hunting licenses are contrib
uted.

MAY COOPERATE TO
BUILD HIGHWAYS

Salem, Ore, Feb. 19.-Counties
are authorized to cooperate in the
building of roads by senate bill 1877,
introduced by Hollis and Vinton, and
which passed the house yesterday af-
ternoon. Provision is made that the
county courts of the counties desir-
ing to cooperate shall meet in joint
session and decide upon the route of
the highway to be built and the funds
to be contributed by each.
Another road bill which passed the
house yesterday afternoon was SEN
ate bill 1913, by Smith OF Coos and
Curry. 1t provides that county courts
shall, as often as they may deem it
necessary, but not oftener than once
year, divide their counties into road
districts for road-building purposes.

The City of the Dead.

Editor Tidings: l would like to
say few words through the columns
of your paper with respect to the
above heading. We all speak of Ash
land as the City Beautiful, but not a
word is said of the city of the dead
as being place of beauty. 1t. is a
fact that our cemeteries are in a most
deplorable condition. l am speaking
more particularly now of Mountain
View cemetery. In the first place, it
was started wrong. On our first en-
trance into the cemetery we have
barely room to drive in without inter-
fering with the lots that are already
occupied. At the outset landscape
architect should have been employed
to lay out the grounds, then the city
council should have formulated some
rules and regulations for its exist
ence and perpetual care There is
no reason why our cemeteries should
not be as beautiful if not more so
than our city park. 1t has given me
unfeigned pleasure to know that the
ladies of the Civic Improvement Club
have taken up the work of bautifying
the last resting place of our dead,
and hope all who are interested will
join hands with the ladies of the
Civic improvement Club in their en-
deavor to consummate the noble
work they have so we'll begun. |
would further say it is the duty of
every citizen (more especially the
lot owners) to see that the last rest
ing place of our loved ones is prop
erly cared for and made both beauti-
full and attractive. Nature has done
much for us with her attractive seen
cry and verdure. She has given
Mountain View a most pleasing as
pect. Then let us assist nature and
make the city of our dead one of
the beauty spots around Ashland.
One more suggestion, and a very
important one, is to secure more land
adjacent to Mountain View cemetery,
for cemetery purposes. In less than
decade there will not be lot avail
able in the present cemetery, and
should the development of our min
eral springs bring one-half of the
population here that is expected, the
mortality will correspondingly in
council will formulate a proposition
in the, near future to provide a fund
for the perpetual care of our ceme-
teries. 1t can be done and should re-
ceive more than passing notice.
S. PERMISSION.

CrOwson-Will.

A quiet little wedding was solemn
lied in the presence of the immediate
relatives on February 10, at o'clock
when Mr.. Clarence C. c. Crowson and
Miss Kate NJ. Will were united in
marriage at their nicely furnished
home. The beautiful and impressive
ring ceremony was performed by the
Rev. Vallandingham of the Christian
church. The bride looked very
charming in a beautiful gown of mes
saline and shadow lace, and carried
bouquet of white carnations. The
groom wore the conventional black.
After the ceremony a sumptuous
wedding dinner was served. The
happy couple were the recipients of
many beautiful and costly gifts.
Their many friends wish them much
happiness in life. The young couple
will be at home at their residence,

Young people to the number of
fourteen gathered around a bounti-
fully loaded table at the home of
Billy Briggs last Wednesday evening
and enjoyed dinner that would have
made Delmonico's best blush for
shame. Some OF, the feminine mem
bers, assisted by their knights for the
night, had spent the afternoon in pre-
pairing the tableload of viands, and
the culinary efforts of the young
chefs were worthy of the undivided
attention of the diners, which, it is
needless to say, they received. The
table was artistically decorated with
smilax and carnations. After two
hours spent in demolishing the ef-
forts of an afternoon, those who were
able adjourned to card tables and
