It is a demonstrated fact that an irrigated orchard can be depended upon for a yearly crop- regardless of weather conditions; that irrigation is a form of crop in surance, yet but few orchardists use the water that flows past their groves.

Announces His Inten tion of Rctiriun hut It Is Extreme ly Unlikely That He Will Be Al lovcd to Do So. MIGHTY HUNTERS WEEK sign agreements to purchase water but two months' work resulted in only a few signatures to water contracts, and the project was abandoned. The Rogue lxiver Canal company is spending over a million dollars in extending its irrigating system, but though the water has flowed for several years, there are comparatively few users and the compauy litis been obliged to plant and sell its own land in order to find a market foi Us water. Its projected canals cover almost the entire valley, but unless the land owners will agree to use the water it. would be a waste of money to construct the canals. 7t i nmieniieo in f.-ilk- nlmnf inniH imirrtiiri'fl il'l'itv.'lt- ing systems when privately built enterprises cannot se- cure customers. If the water alread v wasted from present ' i svstems was utilized, thousands of acres would be in culti- vjirion. and with a market for the water there would be 1 a rapid extension of systems to fill the demand. "Water means work, and a great many of our orchard isfi? and farmers don't want work. There are altogether too main speculative and not enough productive tillers of, the soil in the Rogue River valley. Utilization of present water resources will double the labor and thribble the, productive output of the hind. It will work a transforma- rttTTTT tion m the valley and prosperity will iollow. Every acre of idle hind can be utilized at ti profit with water, but there is little effort apparent to use either water or hind along many of the irrigating canals alreadv , constructed. Land owners must come out of the specula-! tive dream of holding for an unearned prolit and come down to making land and watpr earn a real profit.

Tho 10 days' additional lime given tho Siskiyou Power & Light company to make tho city Bomu offer for tho municipal electric lighting plunt expired yester day. Although Mayor Nell notified tho company a fejv days ago that the, time limit was about to expire, no word Iibb been received from them. This Is taken to Inlllcate that the company does not Intend making any offer for tho municipal plant, as they had signified that they wero likely to do at the time tho 10 days' extension was grantod tlicm. Attor ney Iloamcs, who represents tho city in tho ejectment proceedings, is away and is not expected back until tho first of noxt mouth. Tho city cannot do anything in tho meantime, but emphatic assertions nro inado to j tho effect that tho ejectment suit ! will ho pushed and that every effort will be made to compel tho Siskiyou company to removo its system from tho city. COMMITTEE of citizens of more or less prominence has been "annroved" bv President Taft to take charge in Oregon of his campaign for renoniiimtion. Doubtless some of these gentlemen are puffed up and quite flattered at having been selected by the president of the United States as his personal representatives. As n matter of fjct, however, they were till seleeted by Kalpl. AVilliams, national committeeman, in the hope of making good his promise to deliver Oregon at the national conven- . tion, m return tor which he has been awarded the privilege J of naming stand-patters to federal of fiee. This Tatt committee is a clever combination ol assem bly tuid anti-assembly men, of alleged progressives and stand-patters. It is expected to pull the assembly and stand-pat chestnuts out of the fire. Ben Selling, president of the Oregon senate, Senator Dan J". Malarkey and pther prominent anti-assembly lead el's tire listed as members of the Taft committee. They owe their political prominence to advocacy of progressive measures to "which President Taft is utterly opposed. If they become supporters of Taft and his stand-pat policies, they repudiate the cause they championed and their insin cerity will be rewarded by their own repudiation by the people. It was not personal popularity that swept the anti assembly men into office it was the popularity of the jncaSures thev posed as representing Statement Xo. 1,1).
