WANTS BOND RAISED

William L. Martin, attorney general, has applied to the circuit court for an order increasing the bond of the Alabama Fidelity Mortgage and Bond company from $500 to $5400 in order to protect the state in proceedings brought by the company to prevent W. l.. Lancaster. state treasurer, from disposing of the compSnys securities now on deposit in the treasury for the satisfaction of a Judgment obtained against it by the defunct Jefferson County Savings bank.
 Attorney General Martin contends that the bond is not sufficient to pro- tect the state as the law requires Q company bringing the proceedings to give bond for two times the amount of the judgment and the judgment was for more than $2700.
 The Alabama Fidelity Mortgage and Bond company has declined to pay the judgment on the contention that the obligation was contracted by the Ala bana Fidelity and Casualty company which was absorbed by the present company, and that the present con- pany is not responsible for the ohl- satiohs of It's predecessor. The attor- ney general contends that the company is responsible, having taken over all assets and liabilities of the former romnanv

Portland or Seattle, and reshipped
into the Rogue River valley and sold
at high price.
The Medford editor who takes a
stand as sportsman is all right and
we want thousands more of them to
whip their flies on the Rogue, but the
man who tolls all day in the field and
wishes to step down to the river and
spear salmon for breakfast should
have his rights also. AS to the finan-
cial side of the question, more money
is invested for fishing tackle and all
that goes with the sport up the river
than there is at the mouth of the
river.
Many wealthy residents of the val
ley were attracted here by the good
fishing and many more will come,
and the thirty thousand people in this
valley will not allow the fish to be
destroyed where they enter the mar
row river, where the conditions are
totally different from salmon fishing
on the large rivers.

Merrill Urges Law
Allowing Spearing

f. T. Merrill of Ashland writes an
interesting letter which appeared in
the Oregonian of Wednesday and is
reprinted herewith, upholding the
contention that residents of the
Rogue watershed should be given the
privilege of spearing or gaffing sal
mon for homo use. The letter fol-
lows:
Ashland, January z.
To the Editor: There are a few
points to this fish controversy in the
Rogue River valley hero that must be
taken into consideration, as there are
two sides to every question.
For forty years the settlers in
Rogue River valley and its branches,
if they wanted a salmon, went down
to the river with spear or gaff and
took what they wanted, and did no
harm to the trout or other fish. 1t
Is true they did not make their living
by commercial fishing, but they did
clear up the country, build the roads
and bridges and make tho valley what
it is, and they own several hundred
miles of land along the river and its
tributaries. 1t is hard for them to
understand that it is not special priv
ilege for one man with little strip
of land, at the mouth of the river,
to have the right with seines to catch
nearly all of the salmon that come
into the river
With the salmon, the steelhead and
other trout are also pulled out
Granting that the trout are all
thrown back into the water, the
pounding they get by the heavy fish
and with the sand they get in their
gills and the handling they get in
being thrown back, they are put in
such condition that very few ever see
the upper river. A few steelhead
with fungus growths about the head
and gills, caused by handling, can be
seen in some of the dead water of the
upper river The man who takes a
salmon with spear takes the fish
he is after and disturbs nothing else,
but under the present laws, If he does
take one salmon he will have heavy
fine to pay and his fish is taken from
him, although he may own twice the
river frontage that the special privi-
Elege man at the mouth Of the river
does. If he wants salmon for break
fast his only alternative is to hitch
up and drive to town and get piece
of salmon at the market that was
caught out of his river, shipped to
