It seems to depend a great deal with the Democracy on from wbloh end of the question the view la taken. the hearty support of every Kepubli oan in the county. The Demooraoy doeBu't like the idea of the Kepubli oauB voting straight, and we can't blame thorn, for they must have Re publican votes in order to win, but they can't advanoe any reason, other than that of personal friendship, against a Republloan voting for bis party nominee. If there are any of the oitizens of Medford who aspire to a seat in tthe oity counoll let them wait in patlenoe. The opportunity will . oome to all, sooner or later. Republican voters, Just take a good look at your ballot before you cast in on Monday next. Compare the Ke publican candidates with their oppon ents and then reply sincerely to the question: "la there any reason, moral or political, why 1 should not vote for my party nominee?" Lay aside your personal prejudices and vote in . the interest of the whole community, and there will be no tear of the result.

It la essentially a tloket nominat ed by the people. The oandidatea up on that tloket oame out in the open ana waged their flgbt for the nomina tion and won, and are entitled to the BUif rages of all Republicans. The cam paign was made cleanly throughout and the defeated aspirants are all lined up in support of their auooess tul opponents. There waa no "maBB meeting," in eifeot a oonventlon, to "suggest" a ticket for nomination, but everybody was free to go befoie the people as a candidate. Ab a con sequence none but men fully qualified and whoso reooids would bear inspec tion made the race, and the result Is that the Republloan tloket 1b com posed of meu well qualUed for th of Uoe to whioh they aspire, and there is no reason why it should not receive There is just cause for complaint on the part of the residents along the Southern FaoiOo line from Dunsmuir to Roseburg, a diBtanoe of 245 miles, because they were not only deprived of mail service, but of transportation faoillties for over sixty houra laat week, on aooount of a landslide near Shaata Springs, There waB no reason why the people living along the line of the road between these two towns, and the oountry oontributury thereto Bhould not have been supplied with a looal service. The rolling stook and track from Dunsmuir north was in good oondition. If a mail oarrler on route that barely pays expenses misses one oall box on the line, he is called to aooount and lined unless he can show mighty good reasons for the omission, while a railroad can deprive a atretoh of oountry 245 miles long and nearly as many broad of a looal mail- without so muoh aa a reprimand. It don't look fair to most of the peo ple. Ask your grocer for Rogue River ureamery Dutter du ?ents per square Residence and Business Property in Medford. ITH the country filling up rapidly and the fact evident that Medford is going to double in population within the next three years, the sagacious among our citizens are getting hold of inside property and securing the most desirable residence property, in advance of the newcomer, and we want to call attention to the number of good business propositions which we now have on our list. Call and talk it over, and you will find some talking to interest you. AND RESIDENCE LOTS: We have concluded to meet the demand for small lots of good rich land by dividing the large lots of the Gamett Sub-Division into average sized building lots to give the people what they want, and will give good terms and cheap pricos. LOOK THIS MATTER UP and ACT at ONCE. THERE Never was a Botter Time to invest in Medford property than right now, and if you do NOT Secure a Nice Home this Spring, you will wonder in a month from now how you came to be so short-sighted as to let the opportunity goby. It will pay you to look over the List of Med ford Property for Sale, by the Rogue River Land Company, Iu the Exhibit Building. ;j The Republican Candidates. The county tloket nominated by tbo Republicans at the primary election is one of the best ever put up by any polltloal party In this county and ebould be eleotod from top to bottom. Below we give a few of the many rea sons why eaob individual oandidate should be supported. Wm. I, Vawter, for joint represen tative, bases bis olalms for re-election upon bis reoord in tbe legislature of l'J05. Mr. Vawter'e residenoe in Jaok- son oounty of nearly twenty- years baa caused him to be thorougiy inter, ested in tbe progresa of Southern Or egon, and has made him ooapetent to look out for his constituents in legis lative matters. E. T. Staples, candidate tor state senator, is one of those men who ask no odds .. from anyone. Whenever Staples makes up bis mind to do any thing hf glvea bis entire mind and energy to tbe acoompllsbment of tbat objeot. He 1b aotlve, energetic and brainy. Jaokson oounty could have no better, representative In tbe upper house than E. T. Staples, Henry i. Kubli, for representative, is a "native son." He was born I Jaokaon oounty and has spent bis life time here. He has always been one of tbe leaders in every movement tend ing toward the piogress of Southern Oregoa,and hia ability to "do things' IB unquestioned.' J. W. Perkins, candidate for repre sentaive, is one of the leading fruit growers of the valley. He Is progres Bive, energetic and oapable. He and Kubli will make a strong team in the house, D. H. Jackson, candidate for sheriff. is well-known throughout the oounty, Mr. Jaokson has represented Jaokson oounty in the legislature, and waB al so In charge of the Jaokson county exhibit at the Lewis and Clark fair. He is fu'ly competent to fill tbe oHice of sheriff, Will K. Coleman, for oounty clerk, is another "native of the soil." He was born on the Coleman farm, near Phoenix, and has paBsed the greater part of his life In this oounty. He is now engaged in the general mercan tile bnsinesB in bis native village, and Berved a term as postmaster. He bus all the qualities tbat go toward mak ing a fiist-olass offlolal. Ja?. M. Cronemiller, oandidate for county treasurer, has resided in Jaok sonville since his infancy. For many years be worked with his father aB a blaoksmith, but for tbe past ten years has been oonduoting one of the lead ing merchandise stores of Jackson ville. He has been repeatedly elected treasurer of Jacksonville. He has a reoord absolutely untarnished. Joshua Patterson, for oounty com missioner, ueedB no encomiums from us. His reoord is known to the peo ple, and aa a result of that knowledge bis- eleotion ,1s assured. Ho Is an en thusiastic advooate of good roads, and with that embualsm has a lot ox prac tical' knowledge whloh he loses no op portunity to apply. ' R. T. Burnett, oandidate for reord er, iaa young Republloan who, after aeiving nls party faithfully, asks rec ognltion. Dr. Burnett, sihoe bis com ing to Jaokson oounty in 1890, has al ways been eager and willing to lend niB best efforts toward helping tbe cause of the Republican party. Be sides he is qualified in every way to fill the office of oounty reoorder and promisee to devote hisltime to the du ties of' the office. A. K Kellogg, oandidate tor ooron -, has been a resident of Jaokaon oounty slnoe 1891, and has been en gaged in-the furniture and undertak ing business in Gold Hill. Mr. Kel logg has served both as secretary and ohairman of tbo Republloan central committee and also aB deputy asses sor. In biB professional- oapaolty as II nni iTinn mnnn III limillbftL LAHU5 t WM. I. VAWTER, - of Jackson County, Republican Nominee for Joint Representative for Jackeon and Douglas Counties. an undertaker and embalmer he ranks high in the-oounty.- Uarl T.' Jones, for county eurveyor, isn't going to have any trouble at all. There are no candidates nominated against blm, bnt just the Bame he should be voted or, to ahow good will, If nothing else. A vote for Henry Kubli is a vote for an aottve, energetic, aggressive Re publloan citizen. You won't have to send out a searching party to find where he Is when he gets to the legis lature. You'll find him on tbe firing line all tbe time "doing things." He Isn't muoh on spread eagle oratory, but he oan and will work. DYKE IS FOR JACKSON The following letter from S. G. Van Dyke to Unairman McCown, of the Republloan central oommittee, is pub lished as a refutation of the rumor that Mr, Van Dyke and his friends were not supporting D. H. Jaoktwn forahoriff : PHOENIX, Oregon, May 28. 1006. To M. F. McCown, Ohniiman Repub lloan Central Conimittee,Medrord, Oregon.

Will Court Hall's Reply to Dr. Clarence True Wilson's Article Regarding the Pro posed Amendment to the Local Option Law Make Votes? Mr. Court Hail, of this oity, has published in the Southern Oregonian, as bis own, a reply to Dr. Clarenoe True Wilson's artiole iegarding the proposed amendment to the looal op tion law. Asa matter of fact this re ply is oopied from a oiTOular letter wbloh Is sent out by the Brewers and Liquor Dealers' Association of Ore gon. It is not his own reply. This reply, therefore, ex pr esse not only what Court Hall may think of the looal option law, but the objections of the liquor dealers generally. There are three things to be said about this reply: First It la not Conrt Hall's reply; He has praotloed plagiarism. Second; It assumes tbat the liquor dealers' business Is just legitimate and right aB any other business and ao oughtjto be dealt with as any other business They oall them selves "liquor merchants" and plaoe themselves on the- same plane with other merohants. As a matter of faot they have no right to conduot suoh a business. No man baa the right to do wrong. The whole liquor business is wrong and though a' man may be li censed to run a saloon he has no right to do it and the people ought to have the right to piohlbit him from doing it. The propoBed: amendment, If oar ried, praotioally takes this right away from the people. Third. The reply doesn't take up and discuss a single important feature of the pro posed amendment; It barely men tions that under the proposed amend ment it will be neoessary to have thirty per cent of the voters on a pe tition to oall an eleotion. It now re quires ten per cent and that Is mure than is required for any other ques tion. They raise tbe per oent from ten to thirty to- make it praotioally impossible for an election to be oalled. It dlsousses at great length "PRE CINCT LOCAL OPTION. " Muoh of the reply is based on a would-be ar gument that local option is not looal iption unless it Is oonfined to a SIN GLE PRECINCT. When South Medford precinot wnt DKY" under the local option law the saloon people made a great ory that North and South Medford ought to have been taken together. , Before tbe eleotion they talked that the whole county ought to be taken together. North and South Medford preoinots ought to be taken together and so ought the whole oountry. There can be nothing "unfair" about county looal option. Prfcinot looal option is pretext to throw the reader off the real ohange which tne proposed amendment, if oarried, would make. Court Hall's reply (?) does not point out the unfair part of oounting all votos cast at the eleotion as being for the saloon, unless the voter votes against the saloon; he (?) does not point out the faot that all the articles in the present localjoptton law regard ing penalties attached for the viola tion of It are obanged anh greatly In favor of tbe saloon men. Dr. Clarence True Wilson's artiole la pub lished in trho Medford Marl and oovers all of these points. Read it. Read again the local option law and then the proposed amendment. Coplos of both cau be had at Dr. Corpron's office. Wll Court Mali's reply (?) make votes? When a saloon man comes e-ut In an artiole (-importing an aaiend- The Best and the Cheapest Our Stock is always complete, with Feed, Seed and Fancy and Staple Groceries. We handle the best and the cheapest; which do you want? MONROE & MILLER meat to a law governing his business, It Is time for thought: ul persons to ask if the proposed amendment may not have in it something tbat will be decidedly injurious to tbeir interests. Yes, Court HbII's reply (?) will! mikes votes but they will be-marked- 305 X No." They will be votes AGAINST the proposed amendment. FREDERICK W. CARSTiSNS. City Council Proceedings. A speoial meeting of tbe aity ooun- oil was held Saturday evening for the purpose of listening to prot sis, if any there should be, to the establishing of sewer ulstrlot No. o. There were no- protests and now the recorder is re ceiving bids for the construction of the system. The matter of a petition which had been circulated and signed by aoout 200 persons, asking that a speoial eleo tion be called, which eleotion would authorize the sale or lease of the lightrj and water plants, was brought up and dlsouBsed quite at length and quite heatedly. Tbe discussion was princi pally between Mayor Bradsbaw and Counollman Osenbrugge, In wbloh there was k deolded variance of opinion. The matter was not brought before the board. At this meeting Edgar Hater's resig nation as councilman was Sled and aooepted. A speoial called meeting waa held Monday at whioh the resignations of Mayor Bradshaw and Reoorder Toft were read and accepted. Tbe resig nations are elfeotlve after June 12th. Ben 3. Trowbridge was appointed oounoilman from the second ward, in place of J. W. Cox, resigned j ap pointment accepted. Scott Davis was also appointed oounoilman from the third war ; appointment not accented. The First National Bank, was grant ed a permit to put a new front into their building the Medford book store. A Misstatement Corrected A great deal of publicity has been given to the;statement that K. T. Bur nett, Republloan candidate for record er, would not, in the event of his eleotion, give hia personal attention to the office, but would delegate Its duties to a deputy. This statement is emphatically denied by Mr. Bur nett, and he assures the people that If they see fit to eleotr him, he will take personal oharge of the offloe and tbat tbev will always find him there ready and willing to serve them. No better selection oould be made for this im portant offloe than- R; T. Burnett. He has all the neoessary qualifications to make a competent and popular official. He is honest, obliging and has the olerloal ability to oarry on th office. Vote for Bbb Burnett and you oan't go wrong; For sale 65 acres of the Col. John E.

He haa been a resident of Jack son oounty for twenty years and has a wide acquaintance, and the people of Jaokson oounty want a man who oan handle the sheriff's offloe in a business msnner. This will be estab lished to a certainty by giving him a large majority. BERDAN BROTHERS 1 FOREMEN AND CONTRACTORO; Satisfaction guaranteed O ' .r,H!S.i'"! Bay or Contract. MEDFORD. . OREQ0N. A. C.
