BAKER DEFIES MEDFORD CHALLENGE AS TO RESOURCES TO BE ACCEPTED. Eastern Oregon Town Says It Can Show Greater Diversity of Products Than Other. FAKER CITT. Or.. Oct. ,31. (Special.) Manager A. S.

Mr. Ashley wrote some time sgo to the Medford Commercial Club, offering to take up the challcnre which has ap peared In the literature sent out by the club, and which has also appeared In the magaxlnes. He received a reply which did not reciprocate the good-natured rivalry expressed in his communication, and now he proposes to make them show their hand and make good the statement. He Is familiar with the conditions In and around Medford. having spent some time there, and la confident that when the Jackson County list of resources Is made known, that Baker can come through with a showing thst win have thera completely backed down. This is the substance of a statement he made to The Oregonlsn representative today, and the local papers will tomorrow print his reply to the Southern city- aa a direct challenge for Medford to come out la the open and compare the re source a of Jackson- County with those of Baker. In his statement to tbe local papers, Mr. Ashley says: We can uae that 850OA to good ad vantage and aa Medford has not seen fit to accept the rivalry expressed In the friendly manner It was given, we are coming out and calling their bluff, and they as the challenging party have got to make good their talk. I know from personal knowledge that Baker County haa them 'skinned a mile' in the mat ter of diversified resources, and I am not at all afraid of the result If they will coma out and make the comparison which they are advertising broadcast that they are willing to do."

Or., Oct. II. (Special.) Where was Railroad Commissioner Os wald West today when the case of the Southern Pacific Company against the State Railroad Commission, was being heard In the Clrouit Court? This case Involves the Edenbower spur In Douglas County and In the ac tion the Southern Pacific attacks the constitutionality of the act creating the Railroad Commission. It also at tacks the constitutionality of the act of the Railroad Commission Itself In ordering a spur. track to be placed at caenoower. Case Most Important. In many ways this is considered one of the most important cases that has ever come before the Commission, inas much, should the Commission lose Its point, it would be practically powerless from that time on to order a switch at any point whatsoever and there might be 1000 points in Oregon, Instead of one, affected vitally. Consequently many people are won dering why Oswald West did not take sufficient Interest In this hearing to be on hand. The case was of sufficient import to get the attention of Commis sioners Campbell and A itch I son, both of whom were In the courtroom. Com missioner Altchlson took an active part In the proceedings. A number of West's most staunch supporters here, who have overlooked his many weeks' absence from the or flees of the Commission, say they are not quite ready to overlook his absence when a case up for hearing seems to threaten the very life of the Commis sion Itself. The Southern Pad 11 o hits squarely at the constitutionality of the law which created the Commission and there is every Indication the whole case will be threshed out in the highest court. Taking these facts into con sideration people are asking why West Is not devoting at least two or three days of his time to this most Import ant bearing. Need of Spur Great. The case originally came before the Commission in the form of a complaint from John Botcher and others, and the Commission ordered a spur built at Edenbower to connect with the county road and to be of sufficient length to hold at least three freightcars. Eden bower Is situated one and one-half miles south of Roseburg In Douglas County. Tbe residents In that vicinity have a great amount of fruit to handle and they say Installation of the spur track la of vital interest to them and means many thousands of dollars to them. Following the order of the Commis sion the railroad secured a temporary restraining order In the State Circuit Court of this county. Judge Galloway is hearing the case. A number ef rail road officials were on the witness stand today, the burden of their testi mony being to the effect that the pro Dosed spur would be locatedxm a grade and would result In haxardous opera tion of trains. If the order Is carried out. County's Cans Deserted. Douglas County men who are In the city to participate In the case brought by the Southern Pacific against the Rail road Commission are not only disheart ened, but disgusted at West's desertion of their Interests. These men took up the Edenbower case with West orlginal lv and have been banking on hlra to sup port them when It came to trial. He Is supposed to have the fullest knowledge of any of the Commissioners in this ac tion and they supposed he had taken an Interest in it. But now they find that he even Ignores them In the courtroom and will render them no assistance. Some of them believe his Interest, in the ease was merely a "bluff," that be attempted to Impress the Douglas County complainants with his import ance as a member of the Commission and that he Is now backing away from any attempt to compel the railroads to fulfill the order aa originally demanded by the Commission. Green Fruit Demands Spur. At any rate West's absence angers them and they are asking wliy he has deserted the Douglas County men at this crucial moment. The present -case is of Interest to every green fruit exporter. It is absolutely essential, they say. that green fruit be delivered In carload lots over a high hill that makes transporta tion by wagons impracticable, to say the least. Not only la Edenbower interested In this move, hut every town and ham let, every green fruit shipper to Salem snd Ashland, has the keenest Interest In the case. West's preference for his own Gubernatorial campaign as placed against an opportunity to help the people of Oregon will undoubtedly destroy every hope he has ever had for a vote of any frultman In Western Oregon. Some of the men who are interested In the .case believe that when West Ig nores this action he Is showing himself aa a partisan of the railroads. They cannot comprehend his absence on any other ground unlesa he Is playing a purely selfish hand, which they consider Juntas culpable. "W West does mt care enough about our Interests as Railroad Commissioner in time of need to be present at this hearing and aid us when ws need every bit of aid we can secure, no matter how small, then West will never make a good Goevrnor." raid one of the fruit men today. "If he passes us up like a frosen brick.' aa Railroad Commissioner, 1 cannot believe he will give aid to the people of the State of Oregon as Gov ernor." a, Clackamaa Spends Cash on Roads.

PENDLETON MAN SEIZED Northern Pacific Sleuths Arrest One and Comb Portland for Other Suspects Plunder Biggest in Years. PENDLETON. Or., Oct. SI. (Special.) Local officers and Northern Paclflo detectives have unearthed what ap pears to have been a systematio ar rangement of wheat pilfering- from (sraln warehouses at Hells and .Van Sycle, In this county, by warehouse em ployes. Roy Blake, an employe of the Pugret Sound Warehouse Company at Helix, was arrested this morning- and is held tn the -County Jail In default of S750 bonds demanded by Justice of the Peace Parkes.

As to the manner of Its disposition the warehouse managers are uncertain. It Is believed, however, that part of It was sold to farmers and others who called for wheat and thought they were buying direct from the companies.

It Is estimated that the peculations, though small considered Individually, .will amount to several thousand bushels. Some grain was stolen after being loaded on oars for shipment. There has always been more or less pilfering from loaded cars In transit, but this year's operations hare far exceeded all former thefts. pan y, also cruised the Bowman tract, which comprises several thousands of acres, located In the same district.
