proportions has developed at the mouth
of Tightening Creek about three miles
above Harpster. The local forestry
office sent out crew of Is men Tues

PROGRESS AT SALEM

The state legislature is only a
week old, but already the Rogue
river fishing controversy has broken
out in numerous spots about the cap
itol building. Representative Itch
enor, Of Coos and Curry counties. was
first In the game with a bill con-
structed after the suggestions of the
state fish and game commission to
make q dead line above the narrows
near the month Of the river Below
this dead line the bill would permit
only fishing with hook and line.
From the lineup in both the house
and the senate, 1t seems probable
that Representative Thomas of Jack
son county will desert his plan of
closing the entire river to CONNER
cial fishing. Already the delegations
from Josephine and Jackson are find
ing a common ground, Just as might
have been found weeks ago had the
jackson people been in the proper
spirit, and no doubt a measure will
result that viii be perfectly salts

At a recent meeting participated in
by the members from the southern
Oregon counties. Representative
Thomas. was selected to draft bill
to meet the wishes of the delegations.
II is proposed to prohibit the seine
and the set net anywhere upon the
river, but the drift net Of sh inch

anywhere upon the river unless spec
ifically prohibited, as at given dis

other obstructions. A four-months

TREES FOR SPRING PLANTING
Select Varieties Suited to Localities and Get Those Free From Flaws
 of Any Kind.

Consideration of fruit tree varieties for spring planting should not be long CT delayed. In making out an order special care should be exercised to select varieties suited to the locality, and to secure trees true to name, thor oughly healthy, entirely dormant and free from all evidence of premature digging. faulty storage or improper handling of any kind.
 This is best accomplished by or dering direct from responsible nur- series, after submitting requirements to several firms for bids. It is imma- terial where the nursery is located, if the varieties and quality of stock are right, and any nursery can hold trees until the right time for planting. One year-old trees, which are of good size but not overgrown, are recommended by the Pennsylvania agricultural ex- pertinent station. For home orchards or local markets, a wide range of va rieties covering the entire season is desirable.
