home of Colonel Muse, of the Marine

were engaged neiore ana naa become
estranged, parted and had so held any
communication for more than a year.
Tbey met, however, at tho wedding of
Miss Macrae and Lieutenant Hall, and
a reconciliation was effected, which re
sulted in the wedding of today, all of
which happened inside of twenty-four
hours.
The bride wore a handsome gown of
gray and the groom was attired in lull
uniform, as were the many officers who
were present. The orlue was given
away by Colonel Muse ; the best man

A special session of tliu city ooun- j
oil was held on Tuesday ovoning of f
this weok at which a resolution wns lM
inirouuceu, nnu pnssou invornuiy'
upon, which virtually binds the
town to purchase water from thoj
ditch company provided it con
structs the;' proposed liutto crook
Medford ditch.
The resolution in brief is to this '
effect: Tho Town of Medford, Ore
gon, to purchase from the South
ern Oregon Irrigating & Power Com
pany tho required amount of water
for all purposes of the town at these I
figures: Four conts per thousand
gallons for tho first 250,000 gallons
used per day; two conts per thou
sand gallons for tho next 850,000'
gallons, and one and a half cents
per thousand gallons used over the

last namod amount. The irrigating jft
company binds iteelf to furnish tho
water in our oight-inch main at the tjfk
west side of the Bear creek bridge. j
Tho vote on tho resolution stood jfjfk
Bradbury, aye; Lindley, ayo; Er- ffi
ford, no; Jones, absent.
Tho first proposition made the Ifk
town by the company was the same (ji
as above except that the water was i tjfy
to bo delivered at the reservoir about ' ffi
two miles east of Medford. J
It has been figured out that the ffi
town is now using over 300,000 gal- j ffi
Ions por day, and it has been esti-.
mated that the amount used daily ff
during the year will average 250,
000 gallons.' This estimate Tiik
Mail believes to be large, as during
five months of the year there is no
water used for irrigating purposes
-or sprinkling.
Now that Medford has done its
share toward securing the much ' tfk
needed water supply for tho valley fjfK
the matter rests entirely with thej
farmers who have land to irrigate (JJl
land which can becoverod by water j (fl
from the ditch. If enough land iatfl
