Salmon Season Has
Opened On Rogue

The salmon fishing season opened
Monday night at midnight on the
Rogue river, and fishermen along
the river have been busy ever since
with their boats and drift-nets. Ac-
cording to the Grants Pass Courier
H. e. Gething of Oakland, Ore, who
handled the fish for the fishermen
last year, is again in charge this
season. Mr.. Gething stated that only
about zoo pounds of salmon were
taken the first night. He says the
water is high and swift and the riv-
er is still rising, and does not pre-
dict any heavy catches until about
the middle of May.
While there are a number of sal
mon Just below the dam, Mr.. Geth-
ing says he does not believe there
are many in the stream at present.
The price, however, is very flatter
ing, the fishermen receiving 16 cents
a pound for the salmon.

1t would astonish many of us
sometimes if We could know what
our neighbors think of us. Every
man has some kind of a standing in
the community where he lives, and
he is sized up a great deal closer
than he has any idea Of. You may
set it down as fact that there isn't
twelve-year-old boy in the neigh
borhood who hasn't his opinion of
you, and he wouldn't be slow about
expressing it either, If stranger
should ask him for it. Every man
is always making character, whether
he is doing anything else or not.

Price Committee to Act i'm AL
legged PrOfiteering Case.
Farmer Must Refund or Atty
Gen. VIII Prosecute, Claim.

A fragrant violation" of its order
fixing maximum prices on wood was
reported to the county fair price COM
mittee today and the committee was
preparing to put the screws" to the
alleged profitees
A resident of Topeka made affidavit
before w. H. Kemper, chairman, and
c. d. Skinner. secretary, of the com
mittee, that a farmer living six miles
south of the city charged him So for
1,1OO-pound load of wood which
the Topekan himself hauled in from
the farm This was at the rate of SIS
ton for wood not delivered, the COM
mlttee said. The maximum price for
wood delivered is $40 a ton
kemper said today that the commit
tee Immediately will summon the al
legged velator to appear before it and
will give him a chance to refund to
the Topekan the difference between
his price and that set by the commit
tee. If he refuses, Attorney G eneral
Hopkins will be asked to prosecute
him for profiteering.
This means that the farmer must
pay back $4.50, covering the differ
ence and allowing 81 for hauling.
The victim in this case was entirely
out of fuel and made the six mile haul
because of his serious condition. His
wife and two children were facing suf-
fering from the cold.

SEES GENERAL SESSION
Gilman Also Pledges Support of Al
lens Industrial Program.

Kansas will see a general legislative
session this winter. according to Repre-
sentative J. NJ. Gilman of Leaven-
worth county. Gilman, who visited
the state house today, pledged support
of Governor Aliens plan for new in
dustriaI enactments.
Gilman is one of the leaders of the
house and the older members of the
lower legislative body in point of SER
vice. He was a candidate for the
speakership last winter and will pro-
bably be in the race again in 1921.
Letters from many members of the
house and senate have been received
in the governors office. Without eX-
ception they urge new laws looking to
relief from future strikes in essential
industries thru drastic state laws. A
number of changes in existing laws
will be asked by heads of state depart
ments and constitutional state officers.
Many members will revive measures
whichfailed of passage last winter or
which were killed in committee or died
on the calendars when the legislature
adjourned.

TALKS TO ROTARY
KimbaH Explains Merits of
State Manager Plan.
Criticises Inefficieney of Heat
ing Plants at Institutions.

BY pointing out the superior effi-
cheney of buying in volume for all
twenty seven institutions, James A.
Kimball. state business manager, in a
talk today to the Rotary club at the
Chamber of Commerce. indicated the
necessity of gaining statewide sup
port of the efforts of the board.
Kimball declared that state eXpendi-
lures for education. charitable and
penal institutions We're approximately
as follows: Education. s6,500,0 900;
charitable, So, 500 900, and penal. ST.
100000. He pointed out that the diff
ference in expenditures between edu-
cational and penal institutes was in
dicative of the high character of the
personnel of the state as whole. He
mentioned the fact that so per cent
of those now held in penal Institutes
were non-residents of Kansas.
Attacks Heating Plants.
Probably the most serious criticism
the state business manager offered
against the present status of the
prevalency of inadequate and in
efficient heating equipments found
in all institutions. He asserted that
money expended in supplying them
with modern heating and lighting
equipment, after simply scrappinS the
old apparatus, would be saved in
eighteen months thru increased eff
cheney in the operation of the plants.
He Incidentally mentioned the fact

to settle differences more peacefully
than thru strikes and lock-outs.
Thus in November the division was
able to adjust but one case. while in
August the corresponding number was
five cases and in October six.
The records of the division also
show that during November the num-
ber of women affected directly in
strikes, lockouts and controversies in
which the difficulties failed to reach
the strike stage was IT .439. 1t is true
that in some strike cases, the exact
number affected could not be learned.
But in comparison with some others
of the summer months, November
shows a big reduction in the number
of men directly affected"
