Wins Hose Race From Bandon. The Marshfield Fire Department's hose team was an easy victor in the hose races at the celebration in Ban- Idon yesterday. The Marshfield and Bandon teams were the only com petitors, Marshfield getting water in a fair and full criticism of my pro j forty seconds and Bandon in slxty- Because Law Was Not Complied With.

Certain questions raised by Mr. Douglas relating to the streets cover ed by my application and to the proposition of abandonment or the field team has a record of nearly 1 0 sec onds less In Marshfield but here they run on the pavement while In Ban don the run was made on a gravel course. The Marshfield team returned to day. Those who r.-in were: L. W. Traver, Ed. LIndberg, Geo. Gulov- son, Dan Keating, Louis Keating, Wm. Longstaff, John Longstaff, Ray Ollivant, Carl A'lbrecht and U. G. Keenan. Guy Lattlu was also present but did not run with the team. The Marshfield boys speak highly of their treatment while in Bandon, refusal on the part of the operating every possible courtesy being extend company to accept business offered eu- them, The celebration there was have already been answered in a 'a decided success, even though the previous leuer irom mo winch has , raln Interfered some. y been mado public. Ho does raise, however, a very novel question relating to forfeiture, and which involves a proposition which must be absolutely rejected by me, and which rejection is based upon a conclusion which he states In his own letter, as to the ultimate effect It would have upon the in clination of the operating company to submit to unfair treatment from the city rather than to take the chance of losing the franchise by a resort to the cour s for redress. He says substantially that al- hough I leave with the city In tho first Instance tho right to fix fair and rcasonablo rates to bo charged for handling tho cars of other railroad companies, still tho refusal to accept cars at rates that might be consider ed unreasonable, should be penalized after an adjudication by the courts that they nre reasonable by a decreo of forfeiture. For, says he: "If this refusal should carry with it a penalty such as forfeiture, you or your assigns would naturally hesitnto a long whllo hefoie jeo pardizing tho terms of tho fran chise, because tho penalty would bo too great." Just so; and I am will ing to submit that, In tho Interest -of fair piny nnd common equity, no such advantage Is desired by tho jiuDiic or nny Individual property holder; for, as I have explained In another letter, my ability to leave the settlement of tho rates In these cases, with the city In tho first In stance rests absolutely on my right to resort to tho courts on an equal, nnd not unequal, footing with tho public. To oluntnrIly place myself at n disadvantage in a matter of this kind would be to give the public an advantage to which It does not aspire. ,., Tho spirit of Mr. Douglas' sug--Bestion, ns stated in his own words, is uini sucn a requirement would have tho effect of leading the operat ing company to submit to what, In fact, might bo unreasonable do mands on the part of tho city through fear of consequences should it seek a fair adjudication of its rights. This is plainly unfnlr would havo tho direct offect of pie venting tho financing of any project Very truly yours, J. M. BLAKE. There was a good attendance and everybody had a good time.

The fault found with the elec tlon Is that there had been no peti tion circulated requesting the city council to call the election, this part of the election being made necessary under the new Initiative and refe rendum law. "On account of this oversight Myrtle Point will not be able to im prove nnd repair its water system this summer. It is believed, how ever, that the work 'can be done in the fall or early winter by getting prompt action toward the calling of store. John Prmiss, Prop n new election, ana tnus tne system would be available for all of next summer. Meanwhile the question of Immediate water supply is quite seri ous. The reservoir was cleaned out, however. Wednesday and the pump started Thursday and it is probable that some arrangement will be made to keep the pump going during the greater part of the summer. The residents higher up on the hill are already out of water, and unless the pump Is run there will, be mighty little water available for anyone in another week or two. Temporary repairs to the pipe line will probably also be made when the pump Is run ning so the leaks can be found." TITLE iGUARANTEE & ABSTRACT CO, HENRY SENGSTACKEN, Manager. i Marshfield, Oregon.
