F. E. Day th baad of the firm ol
scobd a Day, ot Nea York City,
who Dandle a large quantity of tun
fruit grown la this Motion, addressed
the Rogae River Horticultural As
sociation at the last ngular ma ting
of tbe Association on last Saturday
afternoon. Mr. Day paid a high tri
bute to tba quality ol tba Irolt grown
In this Motion and aUUd that tba
pears and apples from to. Boaus

repptetloa fur tnemeelvM In New

Mr, Day's Arm handles nothing but
freih fruit and none but the best.
For thirty-eight years Be bas bern
in bnalneas and the statement that
the Bogne River la onexceUed In the
railing of apples and pears, oomlng
bom him, is In Itself a 'high toeti
monlal ) aa to the quality ot the
froltgrown here.
In the ooorae of tola remarks Mr.
Day sought to emphasize the faot
that the fruit men in tbta Motion
honld pay mora attention to quality
than to any thing eUe. He stated
that the Bpitzenberg apple led all
the other veiletiee aot even exoept
ing the Newtown. Ue stated furtbai
that the Oomloe pear was the flneet
pear that eould be grown and would
furnish the growers the largest re
turns.
Mr. Day's remarks oloaed with a
description of the manner In which
the fruit was disposed of In New

Tbe association dsnided not to en

tbe matter over to the Commercial

As was to be eiieoted tbe project
of obtaining tbe water supply of tb
olty from Wesson Canyon bas beta
attacked. However, a survsv of tbe
acts In tbe ease falls to sbuw where
tba elty la loser by any action takaa
so tar by tbe elty eouaoU or tba
water committee. A perusal of tbe
ordiaaaoe providing for tn. agree-
ment with M F. Henley will show
tbat tbe alty has not aa yet oloaed tbe
deal wltb Mi. Hanley but bas simply
taken an option on the water In
Wesson Csnyon. This, In tba flist
plaoe, disproves that the olty tn any
way baa been "buncoed" aa baa been
alleged. And the terms of tba con
tract with Mr. Henley, aftsr It Is
closed, are auob aa to thoroughly
protect tbe elty In tbe ease that there
le not a enfflclent amount of water In
Wesson Csnyon for tbe city.
Aeoordlng to tbe contract, which
la to be dosed witb Mr. Haoley, tbe
olty Is protected from litigation tot
a term of 13 years This allows .the
olty three yesis in which to oomplste
tbe line and ten yjaie caageof tba
water. Under the state law tbe water
right la established by ten years
oeaga. Ho tbe v It amply protect
ed in th'' " -o.
Furtb jley tehee 115,000
of tbe a. . . . te paid bim by tbe
olty, in bonds, which be s to place
In a hank for a term of ten years,
also putting up llo,ooo personal se
curity, as a guaiantee tbat there Is at
least 3oo lnobss of wster in the can
yon and avaiilable for tble olty. It
there Is not 3oo lnobes ol wster
Available, tbe bonds will revert to tbe
olty together witb tbe eecuilty. It
foolish . to enteitain tbe
tbongbt that Mr, Henley would cIom
a deal wltb tne olty If be oould not
fulfil the first requisite of bis agree-
t, tbat la, that there are 3oo
Inohee of water available.
If tbe weter ie not obtained from
Wason Canyon it will base to be ob
tained from tbe north folk of tbe
Little Butte. Big Butte, Applsgate
and Wagner creek are all eliminated
on aooount of the eost of obtaining
wster for the olty from thoee souroes.
Now If the survey is made to Wesson
Canyon It will terminate at lbs Junc
tion of Waison Canyon and Little
Butte. Tbe survey will be the same
whether tbe water la obtained from
ona or tbe other, and as the water
must be obtained from ona of these
two souroes there will not be any
needless exnenM by a survey or by
tne eonetruotlon of the pipe line.
As to the amount of water needed
for this olty 6o inohee le deemed
ample at tbe preesnt time but it le
tbongbt beet to look toward tbe fu
ture and put In a system tbat will
eupply Medford wltb a population ot
25,ooo wbloh may be tbe ease"rB five
or ten years. If It is shown thst tbe
water from Wesson Csoyon Is not
enough to eupply the city It will be
a very easy matter for the olty to
condemn the water In Little Butte
and put la a gate wbeie the II
croseee the river thus adding to the
supply from Wesson Csnyoo. Or It
will be possible for tbe city to Install
a storage dem In tne cenyon which
will store enough water to emply tide
over tbe two dry month nf the year
It is not deputed that theia will be
enough water available duili.g ten
montbe of the year. And tbe olty
baa a guarantee, backed uo by 815,
ooo, tbat there Is st least 3io Inches
of water in the canyon the year
around.
A number of residents of this city
claim tbat it would have been cheap
er to obtain the water from the Little
Butte creek at the Sllnger renoh
where tbe price put on the wafer was
$3ooo. These people have not stop
ped to consider tbat tbe Sllnger
tanch la two miles fuitber trom
Medford than tbe souroe ot supniy
In the Wasson Canyon, Aooordlng
to Engineer Kelsev it will cost til,
ooo a mils to oonrtiuot the pipe line
whifh would make the weter at tbe
Sllnger ranch cost 33,ooo, or (5o,-
ooo more than tbe price to be paid
to Mr. Hanley. And then It wonld
be Impossible to obtain tbe guarantee
that Mr. Hanley has put up.
Another argument In favor of t'.e
Wesson Canyon project ie tbe feot
that the weter from this canyon was
pronounoed to be tbe purewt and
best of all tba water submitted to
chemists for analysis. It is more free
of solids and vegetable matter, end
sltusted ee It Is, In a long, narrow,
deep csnyon it csn esslly be protect
ed trom roving bends of csttls, thus
Insuring purity to a greeter degree
tbaa would be tbe ceae If tbe weter
wee to cove from Little Butte.
Tbe water oommlttee of tbe elty
oounoll la to be commended upon tbe
way tbey have worked npon the wetei
project. Tbey beve spsnt time and
monsy In tbsir endeevor to do tbe
beat tnlng posslbls for tbe olty In

THE CITY
The Butte Falls and Western Ra'l

wltbln tbe next wsek fur their eleo
trio line between Eegle Point and
Butte Falls. 01 tba thirteen mllo
between tbat. two points five miles
of grade most be built so tbat an

chinery for tba grading baa been
shipped from Portland and ahonld be
here within few days. First tbe
oompany Intends to meke ready tbe

faraa tbe Falls without difficulty
and sucb grade will make It possi
ble for tbe oompany to get out con
elderable amount of tba lumber tbey
have cut at their mills on their pro
perty near Butte rails.

Monday ttaeio be bad been to pur

The oompany at present bas on band
(3500 woitb of grading machinery
and this is to be added to, to a con
siderable extent. Tbe surrey for tbe
grade from Butte Fails, ovsr the
Obenobain range to Eagle Point baa
been completed and aooordlng to
statements made by Mr. Harris to a

Tbe company owner 19,000 acres of
timber land, nnvlng recently pur
chased tba righto of tbe Botte Falls
Sugsr Pine Lumber Company, which
waa foroad into a leoeiver'e hands by
tbe failuie of tbe Oregon Trust and
Savings Bank of Portland. Tba in
terest ot the dolonot oompany was
purchased by tbe firm witb which
Mr. Harris Is oonneoted for 150,000.
The new owners will not state any
time in getting to woik developing
tbsir new property.
Col Dewing Is tbe bolder of a first
mortgage on the Pacific & Eastern
railroad la an amount of 150,000.
This mortgage la . now In tba courts
and It la expected that It will be
Mttled within the next thirty days.
Only two months ago tba Injunction
against tbe mortgage waa raised so
tbat CoL Dewing oould prooeed In
th matter of foreclosure. It Is a
question whether tbe present owners
of the Paolfio A Eastern road will pay
tba mortgage or give up tbe road.
If tbe Paolfio ft Eastern road falls In
to tba banda of tbe Butte Falla A
Eaetern Railroad Oompany tbe el ac
tio line of tba company will be over
tbls Una, if not, tba company wlU
conatruot a new line from Eagle

Tbe oompany at present has a plan
nlng and ablogle mill in oparatlon
and they contemplate putting In box
factory and a furniture factory. Tbe
new factor lee will be located In or
r Medford. Tba oompany bae
large water power mill at preMnt
running and tbey have 1. ooo, ooo feet
ot lumber ready to! bring out to
their property near Butte Falls. This
is the reason they will rush tbe mat

CoL Dewiog Is expected to be In

snd will probably map out tbe work
of the company for tbe coming sum
