Medford 's municipal irogress is shown by two events of the week the securing of supply the city with gas and largest street paving contract yet awarded in Oregon. The gas franchise was secured by J. K. Anderson of Pasadena, who will begin construction at once and expend $100,000 in tho next year, laying 20 iniles of mains, erect ing two tanks and equipping supply a city of 25,000 people. The paring contract provides for hard surface pave ment on nearly ten miles of streots and will increase Med ford 's paved area to a total of 15 miles, making it the best waved citv of its size in the Every da' brings something new in the creation of a citv.

MOTOR CAR The installation of motor car service by the Southern Pacific gives the Rogue River valley the best car service in its history It is new possible to visit any town in the valley in either direction and return after a short stay. The schedule provided by regular trains and the motor ear will prove most convenient to residents of southern Oregon and adds another advantage to life in this pleasant valley. The Southern Pacific is to be congratulated on its pro 'gressiveness, andits evident desire to accommodate its patrons. T WIDOW 10 WED Is Handed a Mitten Would Take Baroness Vaughn, Widow of King Leopold of Belgium, to Wife, But Loses Out. PARIS, March 20. Boni do Cas tellane, divorced husband of Anna Gould, former Princess Do Sagnn and now Duchess do Talleyrand, re cently offered to marry Baroness Vaughn, widow of tho late King Loopold of Bojgium, according to unquestioned authority today. Boni was flitly rejected. Friends of Count Boni believe that the volatile De Castcllane sought to replenish a somowhat flattened 01 ON ASKS purse by an alliance' with' Leopold's widow. Boni is up for re-election to the chamber of deputies this year, and it is said that he has nothing with which to make a fight for the place. His only asset is his title, and ac ording to society's statistics the ssatrimonial market at the present time is extremely dull. Boni was awarded a tidy sum re cently by tho courts under a con tract entered into by Anna Gould before her marriage to him, whereby Miss Gould promised to pay her prospective husband a stated marri , age portion yearly. The "sum, how evor, takon in consideration with tho Boni menage, is paltry. ZELLERBACH BUYS OUT PORTLAND PAPER HOUSE i PORTLAND, Or,, March 20.

DENY POWERS IN SECRET ALLIANCE Austrian Diplomats Openly Show Chagrin at Their Failure to Keep Russia Out of the Balkans Fed eration Is Wanted. VIENNA, Austria, March 20. Tho report that Russia and Austria had made a secrot agreement concerning Balkan affairs was discredited today when government officials announc ed that there was no agreement and probably would not bo any reached for some time to come. Austrian diplomats openly show their chagrin and disappointment at their failure to secure Russia's promise to ceaso from interfering m tho Balkans. It is common knowledge that Aus tria was planning to "interfere" by working out plans for its expansion to the southwest. Just as it was believed that this purpose had beon accomplished, a semi-official statement reached hero from Sty Petersburg that Czar Nich olas favored a Balkan federation and hoped that Turkey would join it. It is known that Czar Ferdinand of Bulgaria wants a federation of tho same sort, and he is a close friond of Nicholas. Ferdinand suid recently that noth ing ho fears so much as on under standing between Russia and Aus tria, because it would paralyze, tho federation. A prominent official close to tho Austrinl throno said today that it appears that Russia is trying to help the Balkan states become strong enough to resist Austrian aggression. Ho assumed that Foreign Minister Isvolsky of Russia is trying by dou ble dealing and delay to prevent Austria from accomplishing anything in tho noxt two years, when Russia probably will be in a position to nc fivoly assist tho stntcs against Aus tria. Then it ib expected, in tho light of today's developments, that .Russia will come forward and openly defy Austria in connection with her polioy in the Balkans.

Our agents asked the ice company for bids twice last spring and got the samo offer each timo on frozen water. The rato was approximately a ton. Tho treasury departmcut was not satisfied with this and in stalled au ico machine in the base ment of tho postofficc building. Thoy fouud, after running the machino oue week, that during that time tho aver ago cost of producing ico was 00 cents a ton. The trraft of S0.40 ner ton is so patent that our agents in tend to install tho machino. The dis patch says tunt at tho noxt session of congress probably a bill will be introduced to erect a national ice factory. The graft is still harder on the public, declares the dispatch, as the average price of ico in tho District of Columbia to the consumers is .$8 a ton. I will submit tho above as sufficient evidence to sustain the predictions frequently declared by the Socialists. Thnt is that competi- tion forced the croat combiuos. "sometjmes called trusts," into, ex istence; and, in turn, as competition is a hard master to serve, tho great companies were compelled to invent and bring into existence tho trusts. The trusts nro composed of one man or more. Thomas W. Lawson says there is no one supposed to know who they are. They nro something like tho American Investment com- pnny. When their representative appear ed befofo tho court to obtain a fran chise, in Juckson county, he wns asked who the members of his com pany were. Ho said that ho did not know who they were. The trusts have to do nil the hidden work that competition has 'compelled those great combines and mergers to have done; thoy have to see that all the offices of any import are controlled by large shareholders of those com bines and mergers. They (tho trusts), when it is ne cessary, whisper in all or any offi cers' ears from tho president down, tolling thorn what to do. So we- So- c-iuiiHis ucciaro mat 'tne immense robbery, comically called grafting (it is not grafting fruit trees, either) wjll compel tho nations of the world in the very near futuro to nccopt So cialism. Tho great inennco of those combines is already driving the neo pie into Socialism by the thousands. D. B. REAMK, CHANCE PEEVED BECAUSE KLING IS NOT REINSTATED MEMPIlfs, Tonn., March 20.- Frnnk Chance, manager of tho Chi cago Cubs, is very much peeved be cause holdout Catcher Johnny Kling hns not yet been reinstated by tho national commission and his applica tion is filed away with othor unfin ished business. Chnnco was so peeved that he took n little shot at Bnn Johnson, ehnir mnn of the national commission. "Bnn Johnson does not want Kling to got into condition by the timo tho season opcns,"vsnid Chnnco. Ho did not say just why Johnson did not want Kling in tho game.

No nlthpiiKh tho jieeessnry amount could undoubtedly bo pro cured from those snrno men, who have already demonstrated their Konorosity for tho people's comfort nnd improvement, tho burden must not bo iinpoeod on a few. Tho li brary is essentially a democratic in stitution. It is designed for nil sorts nnd conditions of inon nnd hence needs tho aid of all tho people. The public library hns boon called tho "flower of modern forms of co-op-orntion." Thonco it must hnvo tho henrty support of each citizen. On no other basis can it hnvo a suro and lnsting foundation. It must bo re garded as just ntt ossentinl a pnrt of our system of public nnd frco odu cation as our school system. In thta nspect it is only right nnd just that it bo supported by a general public tax and not by donntions nnd of forts of a few.
