MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDITORD, OREGON, TUESDAY, JULY 5, 11)10. : i li CENTRAL POINT Mayor C. W. Lcovor 1ms erected a warehouse 22x28, o corrugated Iron, In the roar ot his big nnrdyaro store. The Christian Scientists ot this city mot Inst night and organised the Christian Sclonco society, the object ot which Is to aid In the work ot tho church. Tho Contral Point School board at a recent meeting decided on tho -adoption of tho Septic tnnk soworago and nanltatlon system. This wo bolloro to bo a wise move on, the part ot the board, as the septic tank system has proved an unouuallflQd success wherever Installed. While parties Interested desire no names mentioned It Is a fact that two now business blocks, in addition to that being erected by W. A. Cow loy, will bo put up durlnc the sum mer. One ot tho principal business firms of Central Point has under way plans which vhen consummated, will glvo to tho town a modern tlroproof business block. Particulars later. Tho people of Central Point, for tho past month havo been facing a threatened milk famine. Tho in auguration of tho new water system has, however, had a refreshening ef fect unon the cowa and there Is now a better competition between faucet and "Flosslo." X.eo O. Carrlgan, a mining expert from Creede, Colorado, arrived to day and will look over some prop erties In tho vicinity ot Ray Gold. A number of our young people are organizing a Home Dranatlc com pany for tho purposo of putting on tho board the temperance cantata, "Lost and Saved." The Rogue River Valley Cornet Band, Is rapidly forging to the front as a musical organization. There Is talk of an entertainment in the near future for the purposo of raising funds to purchase new uniforms. Such an entertainment should be liberally patronized by our citizens. The building near tho corner of Second and Pine Streets, occupied by Dr. M. Elwood's drug ctore, which must bo moved to make room for the now Cowley Block, has been sold to John Alberts, who will remove It to a new location on East Pine Street. The building is to be removed within fifteen days. The usuall activities of our pros perous town sank into temporary oblivion Monday morning, tho popu lace hieing themselves away to se questered nooks to celebrate the na tal day. Central Point was so quiet on Monday it reminded one 6f Ash land in boom days. Dr. and Mrs. McKnight of Wash ington, D. C, who are enjoying au outing in n summer camp on Rogue river near Trail, were visitors in Central Point today. Dr. McKnight is ono of the eminent physicians of tho national capital, having practiced there for many years and came to Southern Oregon 'or a season's rest. Both Mr. and Mrs. McKnight think so well of tho Rogue River valley that they havo decided to invest in property and build a permanent home in Central Point. Tho Central Point Five-Cent Re freshment club, through its nttorney, has signed a year's contract with O-be-joyful emporiums of Gold Hill and Medford with its 10-ccnt stines will miss the pleasant smiles and se ductive nickels of tho Central Point rtipplcr. Tho question of a sewage system is now entertaining the town coun cil at this place. Past experience has proven that scwerngo is abso lutely necessary as during the winter season stagnant pools are formed which becomo a breeding ground for microbes. Thnt tho septic tank sys tem is tho only logical system for Central Point is cleurlyl defined bv tho lay of tho land, and much cheap er than running n trunk sower to Bear creek, which it is believed would prove unsatisfactory and which would doubtlessly bo enjoined by the farmers and orchardists living along tho valley. We concede Medford tho right lo become tho county seat of Jackson county, tho metropolis and railway center of Southern Oregon, and, more thnn that, tho capital of Siski- ?ou or any otlior stuto which may be onuod of Southorn Oregon and Northern California, but wo claim for Central Point the right to estab lish and maintain tho "home of edi tors, nuthors and reporters," who havo grown feeble in publio service. Wo havo tho healthful site, tho moun tain sccnory, tho odor of apple blos soms and tho delightful olimnU. Come on, Medford, and as&ist u, with well wishes, if nothing more, in establishing tho "editors', authors' and reporters' national homo." I. C. Young, who recently purchas ed a farm ono milo east of Central Point, will ontor tho poultry busi ness on an extensivo scale during noxt season. Jim Smith, who hns been several monthB with J. W. Preoman as a harness maker, will go to Portland noxt week, whore lie will tako charge NEWS ITEMS of a large harness establishment. Mr. Smith is ono of tho most thor ough harness men in the country, and Central Point will miss him. James N. Hayes, u representative of tho T. W. Hallow Milling company of Humboldt, Cal., is here looking over the field with a view to estab lishing a lumbor yard, lime, briok, ce ment, paints, oils and all kinds of builders' materials, with a branch yard at tho now town of Tolo. Mr. Hayes is well pleased with Central Point and is especially delighted with tho climate. Walter RoardQii of Chchalis, Wash., who id camping on the Rogue river near Woodvillo, and who will spend the summer and fall hero in tho interest of Mrs. Roardon'3 health, is so pleased with the valley and Central Point that he announces his intention of establishing a mod ern barber shop and bath-house here. Mrs. Reardon's health has improved every day since arriving in tho val ley. M. G. Womack and fnmilly de parted Monday night for their now homo at Woodville, where Mr. Wo mack takes charge of the develop mciit work of the Enterprise Devel opment company, a newly organized mining concern of which he is the general manager. Ancnt the Anient dam, the fisher men of Central Point are almost at the point of volunteering to assist in blowing it up. In many parts of the country the thing would not be allowed to stand for a day. and those responsible for it would bo quickly embraced by tho strong arm of tho law. The master game wardeu knows these things, the nttorney- gencral knows them, and the Anient dam people know they arc respon sible for the death of all tho game fish in the Rogue river. The law should be enrorccd or tho dam re paired, and many a Central Pointer, "one of which we are what," would gladly donate a day to its destruc tion. Booth Lee, an aged and respected citizen, died at Medford Monday morning while on his way to Jack sonville to celebrate tho natal day. Funeral sen-ices and other particu lars later. A. Conro Fiero of Woodlawn or chards, adjoining this town, hails with delight the fact that his apple crop will be a bumper; that his or chard is tho cleanest in Jackson county and that every tree is a per fect picture of health and hardiness. Mr. Fiero is making some excellent improvements at Woodlawn and the place is a veritable fairyland. Some of our farmers are harvest ing the second crop of alfalfa, which U proving belter than the first cut ting. Quite a number of farmers nenr hero have decided to erect silos for next season's hay crop. Your correspondent visited a num ber of orchards in this vicinity re centlly and finds, on good author ity, that apples, peaches and pears will bo more- than an average crop. Tho "Ashland disease" is not inter fering with Central Point fruit. Our trees are healthy. Rev. Hazleton of this place has re signed his position as pustor of the Gold Hill M. E. church and will de vote his entire time to his Central Point congregation, which was great ly enlarged by tho recent revival. Baseball is to live again this year. 0. B. Nash, a veteran knight of the diamond, will resurrect the sport and put a newly organized team in the field. With Nash in command, the team should make a winner. COUGHS AND COLDS.

TO PROMOTE PEOPLES RULE Democrats at Washington Orrjanlzc Federation to Bring About Needed Improvements In System of Party Government. WASHINGTON, 1). C, July 5. During the cdoslng days of congress some 25 ot the progressive democrats started an organization named tho Democratic Federation ot tho U. S. A., which covers a now field. Tho central Idea Is a federation tit organizations throughout tho country, composed of democrats, that shall stand for the needed Improvements In tho systom ot party sovornment and other progressive Issues, and oporato by selecting In each state and In tho nation, by postal vote, only those Is sues upon which public sentiment Is ogreed or can readily bo brought to an agreement. Thon through tho executive committees ot tho state and national organizations tho candidates within tho democratic party who aro to como before tho prlmnrlos will bo svstomatlcallv Questioned and tholr replies published to tho mombors ot the party. Thus the Issues will bo raised, it is said, and It Is expoctod that tho democratic voters will at tend tho primaries and protect tholr luterests vote for tho candidates who aro pledged to tho needed Im provements In tho system of govern ment and the other reforms. Tho voters' self Interest Is rolled upon to cause them to vote that way. Illustrations to that effect aro In. ho literature of tho now organlzalon. It 13 pointed out that It was through this general system of questioning candidates for tho re-establlshmont of the peoplo's rulo that tho Initiative and referendum wero secured In Maine. Missouri, Oklahoma and oth er states. There the lssuo wjis raised by a committee representing tho or ganized farmers and tho organlzea wago earners. The essence of it Is tho selection of Issues by tho progressive democrats, followed by the questioning of all democratic candidates upon these is sunes, beginning a consldorablo tlmo before tho primaries aro hold. Here tofore the issues havo been selected by the delegates in tho democratic state and national conventions, ex cept as tho voters, without organiza tion, have managed to instruct tho delegates. In 190S in the doraocratlc national convention tho dolegates from two-thirds of tho states wore thus instructed which resulted in tho peoplo's rule program and tho nomin ation of rogresslve leaders. It Is pro- nnsod. sav tho founders of tho Demo cratic Federation, that practically all of tho dolegates In tho 1912 demo cratic national convention will bo in structed, easily and with full details, and that In 1911 and 1912 practically every democratic state platform will declare for a people's rulo system of government.
