HK BOYS WILL " GO ON STRIKE At n stonny meeting hold Monday ovonmg tho fire department agreed to itislinnd ami Inni the charter hack to th secretary of state unless tho wages asked were granted by the city council. The scale demanded call's for -flOO per month for chief, .fS." for assistant chief and driver and $7."i apiece for three men or .?-H)i n month total. The council lias olfered $S5 for the chief, $7f for assistant cjilef and four men at JCu, or a total of $420 per month. The distance between Medford and a fire department at present then Is $7fi a month. It thts Is not bridged tonight there will be no fire depart ment unless the mayor Is In a posi tion to form a new one. Tho position of tho council is that no provision has been made for rais ing money for a paid fire department and the city finances are in such a condition that the city cannot afford to pay more than the schedule deter mined upon. HOMESTEADER WINS PROLONGED CONTEST John Loughliu, homesteader, has won the content ease brought against him by the forestry bureau and after it prolonged contest has been nward u nrolonged contest has been passed Uon in favor of the entryman by the Lakeview land office. Tho facts appear, from the testi mony submitted, to be that, about ten or eleven years ago, the entry man made a homestead entry of cer tain lands in the Cascade Reserve, but prior to the time when tho same was established as. a reserve, and, about five or six years ago, made his final proof. The proof was held up for first one cause and then another during all of theso years, the entryman making every effort to secure a hearing of his case, so that he might get action on the proofs that ho had submitted as to his resldonce and cultivation. Numerous special agents of the Forestry department called on the entryman and other citizens and en deavored to get affidavits and other statements 'that might be used against tho ontrymau in tho trial of contest, which was evidently contem plated. But tho entryman refused to make any statements excepting those made In his final proof. I COMMUNICATION. Help' the Fire Boys To the editer: Tho city of Medford should not bo without a paid fire de partment. Jf tho city cannot afford to tiy the firemen living wage- the business men should contribute. It .should be n very easy matter to get twelve Iiumiiom firms to volun tarily subscribe say $73 u month to wards the paid department. If T was u little butter known in this city 1 could go out and raise the $i)()0 in a onuplo of hours. 1 would either mine the money or raise . Just think what u large nninunl it is 12 man to subscribe fr'O.oO n month. Now let a few more just u dozen, say, of our enterprising citizens fall in lino or fall in Hear Creek. Yon enn put me down for $0.50 a month for 12 months. It is not a very good advertisement for a yity of this size uud ciiterpri-o to be without a good paid fire depart ment. Are we going back? II. K.

The Associated Press, which supplies the majority of newspapers with telegraph news, is con trolled 'by tlie large newspapers, which, if not owned by the captains of industry are in full accord and sympathy with the latter, llenco wo see nwsi 01 me iuwiwihms i active in their denunciation of Theodore Koosevelt as they were a short time since of La Kollette. But these newspapers do not reflect public opinion. The majoritv of voters are insurgent in proclivities not onlv west, but east. The more studious of the insurgents undoubtedly prefer La Kollette but Hoosevelt is still the idol of the musses. There is a strong fight on in each party for control be twmrn lYvmrmuitivivi Mini roMi'timiiirics. There is really no difference between the two parties except the name. All the difference lies between the factions of the two. We are daily told in the press that Taft is receiving great ovations, that Ins campaign is maKing great iieau way, that he is becoming more nnd more popular, that Ti'Fnllottp is a collnmcd nhvsical wreck, that Roosevelt's boom is a fizzle and in all father o the thought. Koosevelt will carry Oregon by an overwhelming vote, Popularity cannot be liianufacturcd to order. Tuft's every utterance'stamps him as a reactionary of the deepest dye, Mini ovr-rv cmwnli lio mnlc-ps. tphiovps liini further from the ideals aiid systems favored l.)xr,ki.l4-.-. 1 . . j.- 1i .. -r TO LIGHT HIGHWAYS OF NEW YORK. A BILL has been introduced in the Xew York state legislature by Senator for the experimental lighting ot ten miles ot unproved highway. If this plan is approved concrete poles will he erected i.OO feet apart on some designated highway and high candlepower incandescent lamps installed on 12-foot mast arms. Experts are practically agreed that a few vears' test of this line will prove the feasibility nnd ccon omv of lighting the state highways cverv night. It was onlv a few veal's ago that nearlv cverv citv in T5 this country was shrouded in darkness after nightfall. The streets were unlighted and thieves, murderers, highway robbers -and ruffians took advantage of this dark mantle to ply their nefarious purposes. Jf people had to be abroad on the streets after dark it was necessary to pro tect them from accidents and ruffians by an abundance of artificial light and now, as traffic Increases on the im proved highways, it is equally important that the roads be lighted every night. It is evident that all the main highways will be lighted in a few veal's, at the most, and this test svstcin in ITov York state will be anxiously watched by every state in the Union as well as foreign countries. It will not cost much to accomplish this. A few years ago such a scheme would have been impossible, because tire lamps require too much attention, but the advent of the new high candlepower metal filament incandescent lamps are ideal for this purpose as they require no atten tion and can be turned on and off from a reasonable dis tance. This would eliminate lamp lighters, trimmers and most of the work incident to old style lighting systems. The poles will be of solid reinforced concrete .'50 to -10 feet high and will last for .100 years. These poles will also be rented out to the various telephone, telegraph and electrical distribution lines. It will be cheaper for such companies to rent the concrete poles than it is now for them to maintain a wooden pole line. Another revenue will bo obtained from the various electrical distribution stations of cities and villages who are anxious to supply thefarming districts with light and power but are now held back by the prohibitive cost of a pole line for this work. They can rent the use of the state poles for a nominal sum and thus reach all the farm ers within a .mile or, two of the main highways. It will be seen that the farmers are the ones to profit most by this illumination. The automobilist will also en joy tiro safety and convenience of a well lighted hiirhwav. and he will be taxed to pay who will receive the greatest beneht. lie will have the advantage of a well lighted way whenever and wherever he wants to drive alter dark, ho will bo protected from highwaymen and tramps by an abundance of light, stud under its rays he will be in less danger of being run down by automobilists. Our Apples Are Lallapaloosas (r'rom tho Portland Spectator.)
