Representative Thomas has intro
duced a bill, which has for its pur-
pose the removal OF any dam which
has been found TO De a menace TO
public health and safety. The bili
is particularly aimed at the Ament
dam in Josephine county, which is in
an unsafe condition. and besides is a
barrier to fishing on the upper
Rogue, as the fish ladders are in a
very bad condition and many Ash
are turned back and kept from COM
ing up over the ladders at this place.
f'he bill empowers the count, court
to start proceedings against the own
ers or caretakers and II found to be
in such state OF unrepair as 10
deem the dam a nuisance, the court
can order the destruction of the
dam. Mr.. Thomas has the support
of the Josephine county delegation
on his bill, they contending that il
will only be short time until high
water will break down this dam and
in the event this occurs the big steel
bridge at Grants Pass will he endan-
gered and possibly washed down III,

GIRLS CLUBS WILL
 GAN ON THE SHARE

Tucson, Ariz., May 12. (SpeciaD- The fruit season is not far away, especially in the lower valleys of the state. From all indications there will be a good crop and to prevent any great loss something must be done to look after the surplus that cannot be shipped Canning in tin cans on any large scale is practically out of the question for a serious shortage of tin cans is known to exist. The only solution is to round up every available glass jar and then to make arrange ments with growers whereby the can ming can be done on shares.
 To meet this emergency all of last years girls canning clubs have been reorganized and strengthened and oth- CT new ones formed. Meetings are now being held with these clubs and instructions given in the cold pack method of canning. Fortunately this work has been under way over two years and throughout the state over 5000 women and girls have either re- ceived literature on the cold pack method of canning or have witnessed a canning demonstration.
 Growers of fruit who anticipate a surplus should write Leland B. Parke, state club leader, Tucson, Arizona, and steps will be taken to put such grow CTS in touch with the girls canning clubs in the locality.
 Anyone interested in receiving can ming literature or organizing a girls canning club should also write the above address.
