Stock Market Neglected
By .LlzestOrs Today

New York, jan 23.-The New ork
Evening Sun financial review today
says:
Between the digestive process neces-
sary to an understanding of the presi-
dent g peace address before the senate
and the lure of the "leak " inquiry now
in progress at the custom house, the
stock market was left much to its own
devices today. There was but little in
the overnight news developments.
The price changes were for the most
part, narrow and quite devoid of signifi-
cance.
The copper group was narrowly irreg-
ular. The industrial list as a whole had
q firm undertone. At one time the sugar
shares made a good show of strength,
but there was a reaction of a point or
SO later. The shipping stocks turned
soft after early gains. Movements were
variable throughout the speciality list,
but little importance was attached to
them. Business was practically at a
standstill after midday.
Prices tended to firmness with few
exceptions. The railroad list was feat
ured by strength in Long Island and
weakness in New Haven, the latter los.
ing more than two points.
Some of the specialties which were
reactionary early recovered and ad
vanced to substantial gains Steel moved
idly near lib. The shipping shares lack.
ed support and eased off to some extent
The oil and gas issues were strong.

FIGHT
OVER FISHING BILLS
Rogue River Situation Comes
Before Legislature For
Settlement

That there is a big fight brewing on
the fishing bills, and especially the
bill to prohibit the use Of set nets and
seines in the Rogue river, is the belief
of those who are interested in the case.
This morning marked copy of the
Coos Bay Harbor, printed at North
Bend, was placed on the desk of the
representatives. The issue contains a
half-page of matter concerning the
Rogue River Fisheries and alleged that
the ruin Of one of the leading indus
tries of southeastern Oregon will re
suit, that the greater part of Curry
county will be destitute, and more thar
5000, 900 lost to the people of tha
country if commercial fishing is pro
hibited at the mouth of the river.
TIE representatives of southern Ore
gon who are interested in theabill dc
clare that the measure will not pro
hibit commercial fishing in the rive
but will prohibit the sweeping of thu
mouth of the river with set nets anC
seines, which they state leaves nothing
for the independent fisherman. These
representatives state the demand for
free and equal chance to fish in tht
waters of the Rogue river is universa
and the only one who is interested II
the present status Of affairs is Roder
lex Macleay, owner of the FISHING
monopoly there.
The representatives of southern am
southeastern Oregon declare that Ed
tor Mcdaniel Of the Coos Bay Harbo
is going too far when he declares tina
| it will ruin commercial fishing on tn
Rogue river, as there is nothing in tn
bill which prohibits such fishing ex
cept with set nets and seines. IN
use of drift nets is declared to be al
lowed under the provisions of the act
which is aimed to give the Independent
fisher an equal chance to catch rs
and make living as the Macieay FISH
ing interests,
Should the Macleay interests cor
tinue to stir up controversy concern
ing the fish bills now up, it is declare
bill will be introduced into the hous
that will absolutely prohibit CONNER
cial fishing in that river.
/ District Attorney Burlington OF Cul
~ county, who is here to watch tn
proeress of these bills, declares thel
il only one man in the whole count
that wants the law as it now is an
that is Roderick Macleay.

Bone" Dry Hearing DraUs
Large Crowd and Various
Interests Are Represented

Like a shot ont of hell, is the
way Representative Thomas, of Jack
son county, described how automobiles
returning home from a Sunday trip to
Hornbrook just across the Oregon line
dashed down the grade from the sum
nit of the Siskiyou mountains along
the 100000 highway the. people Of
Jackson county built to enjoy the seen
cry Of the mountains, and from which
the citizens and their families were
forced because of the reckless driving
of the booze filled drivers.
His talk came as sort of climax to
the open meeting held last night in
the house of representatives for the dis
cussion Of the 'bone dry law by the
senate and house committees on alcohol
ic traffic. About q thousand people were
present and the large hall was filled
with those who came to discuss and
those who came to listen.
Representative Thomas talk was
forceful and epitomized the spirit OF
southern Oregon in regard TO the pass
ing Of an effective and absolutely
bone dry law. He continued:
'' come from county that wants q
dry law Multnomah county wants to
90 easy. We DON want to go easy.
We want dry law and are entitled to
have our sentiment in favor of it.
In the main the people feel that
the penalty is too light-it ought TO be
largely Jail sentence. When the man
engaged in the bootlegging business
can make a gallon of alcohol into a
vat Of liquor, money count no figure,
and punishment must be measured by
the penalty. This may be severe but
is perhaps the result of local condi-
| tions.
SIN Portland there are many cellars
stocked with the wherewithal to with,
stand long dry spell. Many men are
going to have booze for them selves
land their friends long after the law
goes into effect, if the provision that
all that is on hand when it goes into
effect can be kept.
81 have no sympathy with those who
have shipments out which will require
perhaps a week to get and who fear
to lose their money. They knew this
was coming. Perhaps the date ought to
be set for the time Of going into eff
fect-say July or the Fourth, SO that
! the stock on hand can be gotten rid of.

How to Decide What Price to Pay

Above all things have no hesitation
about visiting the Columbia dealer
and playing records and having rec
ords played as many times as you
feel like before you buy. The more
you know about the Columbia
Grafonola, the higher the chances
will become that it is the pheno-
graph that you will finally decide to
buy.
But whether you are ready to buy
a phonograph now or not, by all
means visit the Columbia dealer and
hear the Columbia Grafonola played.
Do this, if for no other reason than
because of our assurance that you'll
be made welcome there.
