JUDGES UNABLE
TO GIVE PROPER
CREDIT FOR WORK
(From Tuesdays Daily


Announcement OF prize awards
for school exhibits displays during
the Winter Fair was made this
morning by the judges. Accom-
panylng the prize list was the fol-
lowing statement from the judges:
in making the awards Of the
prizes for the school exhibits, the
judges felt for various reasons they
could not do justice to all the con-
testants. One was, that a award
had to be made even though, In
many cases, there were several just
as good as the fifty labeled prize
winners, and yet there was no way
of showing the other contestants
that the judges realized the quality
of their work. Especially was this
so In the class which included me-
chanical drawing and manual train
ing work, for there were other draw
ings entered that would have receiy-
ed prizes had the judges been able
to award on mechanical drawings
alone.
The whole school exhibit was OF
such high class work that anyone
who had posters, drawing or sewing
exhibited need not feel disheartened
because he or she did not individu-
ally receive mention. There was a
noticeable improvement over last
years exhibit in poster like quail
ties. All of the work submitted was
neatly done and in many cases so
painstaking that the maps were
drawn according to scale.
"The judges are sorry that they
had to take the responsibility of
singing any out for prizes, in that
the points on which the awards had
to be made were not understood in
like manngr by all of the Contestants
for instance, tie two schools
worked along different lines. One
emphasized originality and suggest
ed outside help as to ideas; the 9TH
er wanted its work to be absolute
ly the students own endeavors, and
therefore was more like a classroom
display. Both had a claim to con.
sideration, for we surely want al
exhibit of the students own work
yet, at the same time, children have
\ to have suggestions In order to stlm
ulate originality. Too. in compe
tition of this kind rt is fun to get the
whole family at work on ideas and
make regular game out Of the les
son involved, instead of a mere duty
Of getting up a poster, and all goes
toward helping the child get inspir'
alton and cooperation In his work
if at the same time sufficient care
is taken to have the finished display
entirely the students work.
perhaps, in the future fairs, a
basis of competition can be settled
before hand and then there will be
better feeling over the outcome.

DYNAMITE AMENT
DAM THIS WEEK

J. w. Berrian, superintendent Of
the Butte Falls hatchery, went to
Grants Pass yesterday to represent
the state game commission in the
work of dynamiting the Ament dam
to make a clear passage for fish.
The work will be done by the own
ers of the dam by agreement OBJ
tanned by the game commission.
For several years there has been
lots of kicking about the Ament
dam blocking the way of fish going
up stream and considerable money
has been spent by the owners and
the state to better the condition. A
high water some time ago took out
part of the dam. but left 1t in such
shape that fish could not get
through the opening. Another pas
sageway was made and that served
the purpose temporarily, but the
work to be done now will make a
clear passage for fish to go through
the dam, much to the delight OF the
sportsmen and everybody.

afternoon, as he sat In his college of
flee at the close of a hard weeks
work.
"Oregon's agricultural college Is
cramped for room because former
regents have not had vision to see
how the institution was going to
grow" declared President Kerr. "A
big tract of land lying Immediately
west of the machine shops was once
offered for $500 Prof. Witty
comb, who at that time was presi-
dent of o. A. c., was so sure the land
would later be needed and that 1t
would then cost much higher price,
that he offered to loan the regents
$500 with which to make the pur-
chase. This tract was finally pur-
chased by the college in small par
cells, which cost up to $4,000 each
The site on which the mines build

SOUTHERN OREGON FISHERMEN
OPEN WAR ON CANNERIES
AND SILK STOCKINGS"

That a stronger union of OregOe
hunters and fishermen will result
from the action taken at the meet
ing held here Wednesday evening is
the opinion of local sportsmen, who
voted to amalgamate the Ashland
Fish and Game association with the
Jackson County Game Protective as
sociation. The latter is part OF
the state game protective association
which is composed of the county as
sociations now being organized,
The value to the general public OF
protecting and conserving Oregon's
fish and game was strongly stressed
by Bert Anderson, member OF the
state game commission; c. NJ.
Thomas, president of the new coun-
ty association; f. W. Gould, secre-
tary, and other speakers at We'd
nesday's meeting. The value Of
good hunting and fishing In attract
ing tourists is scarcely realized by
the average citizen, according to
these gentlemen.
Oregon is the only state in the
union where winter fishing is en-
joyed." says Henry Hosler. one OF
Ashland's most devoted and success
tul disciples OF Isaac Walton.
Southern Oregon sportsmen have
had a long, hard fight to protect the
Rogue river fish from the Gamers.
and now the silk-stockinged summer
fly fishermen are trying to take
away the privilege Of winter fishing
with hook and line. on the false
plea that IL is unsportsmanlike.
"In the Umpqua. Willamette and
Columbia rivers. commercial fisher
men are permitted on certain win
ter months to take steel head trout
out OF those streams with a net.
They would be doing the same thing
in the Rtgue river but for the ef-
forts OF the Ashland Fish and Game
association and others who have
taken an active interest in closing
our streams to commercial fisher
men.

CHRISTMAS SEALS
(From Tuesdays Daily


With the sale of more than 1000
Christmas seals to their credit, the
pupils of the fourth grade Of the
Junior high school, won the silver
cup offered by the Jackson County
Health association. Fifth grade pu-
pills of the same school were second
in the race, having sold over $500
seals. The Hawthorne school won
the cup last year.
The total number of seals sold by
the school children OF Ashland was
over 1900, amounting to $40, an
encouragiui increase over last year.
Beginning Thursday, tne seals will
be on sale at the post office, drug
stores, Rose Brothers, Prices and
perhaps elsewhere, continuing until
Christmas. Mrs. II. T. Elmore who
has charge of the sale in this city,
would appreciate II II ladies who
have few hours to spare next week
would volunteer to help sell seals at
the post office.
The proceeds Of the seal sale goes

gram from Senator Charles l.. Nc
Nary, to this organization, "by gov

suit. | strongly commend your work
and sincerely hope that this four

will result in greatly increased reve-
