PUTNAM, Editor And Manager a Entered nn nocoml-clnns mutter n Moil rani, Oregon, umlor the net of March 3, 1S70. Paper of tho City of Medford l-npcr or jncKson wouniy Offlclnl Offlclnl CITIZENS oC Portland arc today oxpivssiug at tho polls their choice for the .mayoralty. Tho choice lies between .Joseph Simon, present mayor, former United States senator, one of Oregon's loading attorneys, for many years a political boss, and Council man A. 0. Rushliirht, master plumber, a well to do citizen. hut with very ordinary abilities. Mr. Simon belongs to the old regime, lie is a stand patter and a reactionary and has no faith in tho rule of the people. His training, his sympathies, his tendencies are all with the "interests." During his term the public cor porations have been in the saddle. Mr. Rushlight professes faith in popular government and his intentions are probably good. J lis course as coun cilman has not shown him a strong man, not proved his capacity for leadership, but rather a temporizer. There is nothing in his career to indicate that he is fitted to be come tho executive of a great city. To a disinterested onlooker it seems a choice between evils. Portland is in the same predicament that many an other city finds itself in on election day under tho present system, where belief in a national tariff is a qualification for administering thy a f fail's of a municipality.

PROBE TO START Landis Issued Strict Injunction to Grand Jurors Not to Talk to Any one of What They are Investigation. , CHICAGO, June 5. United States District Judgo Landis today empan eled a special grand Jury to investi gate the lumber trust and its opera tions, Unusuai secrecy and consid erable mystery surrounds the pro ceedings and every effort was niade,j to prevent any information leaking out. The court instructed tho jurors hat they "must not talk" about tho case to anyone. Judge Landis instructed the grand Jury to investigate whatever United States District Attorney Sims and As sistant Attorney General McKcrcber suggested. In charging the jurors, the court said: "I want to toll you one thing. In the past the grand jurymen talked. This must not occur again. Themat tcrs which you aro to Investigate will be brought to your attention by the proper authorities. Under no circum stances must any member of this grand jury discuss tho investigation with anyone or tell what is being In vestigated." Following this charge to the grand jury Judge Landis summoned the newspaper reporters to whom ho said: t'lf you reporters see anyone talking to a momber of tho grand Jury the IT IS a matter of regret that Judge "W. !aL Colvig has resigned as president of the Commercial club. The directors should refuse to consider it and insist that he fill out his term. Judge Colvig has made an enviable record as execu tive of thq liveliest and most progressive organization of its kind in Oregon. His life-long residence in the valley, his close relations with pioneers, his sympathy with them and their views, his co-operation with the newer cornel's and their progressivencss, peculiarly qualified him as a harnionizer of the two elements. Medford and the Rogue River valley owe Judge Colvig much for his earnest efforts in upbuilding city and country, for his sacrifice of time and his unselfish devotion to pub- lie welfare. He has alwavs been readv when called upon and times innumerable has responded when called upon for the common good. The Commercial club still needs Judge Colvig 's serv ices. There is no man as well qualified as he to fill the position. The club's members should take a more active interest in the club's affairs, turn out oftener, and by heart' co-operation back up the officials in the efforts to better the country.
