Instead of two hotels, wouldn't it iibe a good scheme for tho promoters pi both now hotols to get together "and convort ono of them Into an opera liouso and business block? Medford needs a first-class theatre as much as a first-class hotel, and both will be financial successes, while two flno hotols will have tough picking. If the change is an-'increase it cannot take effect until approved by the Interstate Commerce commission unless the commission takes too long on the investigation. . It can suspend the rate four months for investigation and make a second suspension of six months so that an in crease can be held up pending investigation eleven months after it is filed. In any investigation of rates made after the first day of this year the burden of proof is on the railroad to show that the rate is fair instead of on the shipper to show it is unfair, as was the old law. It is made a misdemeanor for a railroad representative to tell a shipper what a rival is shipping or to whom he is sending it. The bill provides for a commission to be apr pointed by the president to investigate the subject of stocks and bonds oi the railroads and other corporations affected by the law and report to the president on the best method of controlling and issuing of such securities, the idea being ultimately to prevent watering of stocks. .No one district nudge will hereafter be allowed to sus pend the operation of a state law. An injunction having that effect can only be issued by at least two of three judges after hearing the ease, and at least one of the judges must be a justice of the United States supreme court or a circuit judge.

For Sale NOTHING DOING IN POLICE COURT WEDNESDAY MORNING A BITTER fight is being made upon the proposed new county of Nesmith by Roseburg and Eugene. A large fund has been raised and is being used in the dis semination of literature inimical to the secession. In ad dition two other county division schemes affecting the same counties have been fathered, in the hope, evidently, of so bewildering the voters that all three schemes will be turned down. Nesmith County comprises a small strip from the northeastern portion of Douglas County and a strip from the southeastern portion of Lane County, comprising the Bohemia mining district and that section of country trib utary to Cottage Grove. The other proposed divisions, Williams and Umpqua need not be considered, as they are evidently 1)linds. Roseburg and Eugene appeal to the state at large to squelch Nesmith, claiming that the law permitting the people of Oregon to' vote for county division is a menace to "home rule," and that only the counties affected should bo allowed a voice m the division. Ji this was the case, there never would be a county division, for the populous centers, beneficiaries of present conditions, will always successfully oppose recognition of other localities. It is the lack of home rule that has made the people of Nesmith anxious for segregation.
