In that case the United States. ac-
cording to one lawyer. would have no
recourse aside from the drastic step
OF declaring England's action "un-
friendly"
Other state department experts,
however, hold that the matter will
be one for the strictest sort Of pro-
test, II II could be proved. And. there
Is no mistaking the temper Of at
least a part Of the department on the
subject.
The expert who believes there is
no ground for protest, says that Eng

diction, and that this Jurisdiction in
cludes the territory OF her ally, Rus
sia. In other cases, where the
United States has protested, British
Interference was charged as between
the United States and countries other
than England's allies.

AN APPRECIATION

From all over the state newspapers
are singing the praises of the Rogue
river valley, Of the Siskiyou high
way and Of the scenic wonders OF the
Crater lake trip. This comes by way
OF dividend from the effort put forth
BY the people of Medford to enter
tain the editorial association in its
annual convention. True. the natural
attractions of this most favored re-
gion were here for the edifications
OF these people regardless Of the
meeting OF the association. but
coupled with the most hospitable well
come and the generous treatment ac-
corded by the people OF Jackson
county, all the other things were
given an added value. Medford
may have her faults, but lack Of hos
pitality is not one Of them. Ben
Sheldon. who was in charge Of the
arrangements for the meeting of the
association. was a power unto him
self, but without the wholesouled CO.
operation OF all the people Of Medford
his work would have been without
results. The spirit Of Medford Is
the spirit that has builded' one Of
the most remarkable cities in the
west. It is the spirit OF cooperation.

DON'T TAKE A CHANCE

Last season five residents OF the

mades who mistook them for deer.
The number was less than upon any
previous recorded season. but 1t was
Just five more than, 1t should have
been. With the opening Of the hunt

ters the woods takes his life in his

get the idea that State Game Warden
Shoemaker is trying to hammer into
the public. Shoemaker says Don't
take q chance." Better lose your
deer than have the haunting thought
following you through life that you
were responsible by your criminal
carelessness for friends death. So
don't take chance. Remember that
a man makes the bushes move and
that Imagination sometimes puts ant

are right before you pull the trigger.
You do not need venison bad enough
to take a chance.

VALUABLE CARGO

 Three Hundred Thousand.

TACOMA, Feb. 8.-Some idea of the enormous trade between Tacoma and European ports may be gained from the fact that the freight charges on cargo Of flour which was ship ped from Tacoma during the past week amounted to three hundred thousand dollars The cargo which was destined for France and was routed via the Magellen Straits, was valued at four hundred. and twenty thousand dollars.
