Pathetic Appeal to
Wives and Mothers
Medford, Ore., May 28, 1908.
T. E. Daniels, Medford, Ore.
MY DEAR FRIEND: The time has come when I must ask you a
question, one concerning a thing, the contemplation of which
has caused me many sleepless nights and corresponding days of
of anxiety.
This is a subject of which I hate to speak to any one,
And yet I must know the worSt. I dare not communicate my state
of mind to my mother, for, as you know, she is so old-fashioned
about these things there would be only one answer. In my dis
tress I appeal to you.
It may surprise you to have me turn to you in so mighty a
natter, but because I know you so well, I feel that you nnder
stand me and that your heart is ever open to me.
I am asking a great deal of you, but while you are consid
ing this I beg you to put aside all cares, all social joys,
and devote your tine and faculties to the proper consideration
of the question I have to ask but I must come to the point.
Do you think it is time for me to put on my summer underwear?
Sincerely yours,
VOTE YES

about this "charge," which originat

"Echo," by calling at the office of

as though It were true. The fact Is,

South is Going Dry.
Clarence L. Reames of Jackson
ville, who has Just returned from an
extensive trip through the southern
states, stated yesterday to a repre
sentative of The Morning Mall that
it was his belief that other southern
states would go dry until they were
all more or less dry. lie was not sur
prised at the news In yesterday's Mall
to that effect.
Mr. Reames states that the one
great reason that the southern states
are going dry Is the fact that the ne

In Tennessee at present there Is a

states of the south that are dry.
Governor Patterson, who favors lo

Reames that the state will rote dry
at the next election.

Lock Out for the Itedily Amendment.
It reads like this: "For constitu
tional amendment, giving additional
and exclusive power to cities and
tovwis, within their corporate limits,
to license, regulate, control and tax,
or to auppress or prohibit theaters,
racetracks, poolrooms, bowling al
leys, billiard halls and thj sale of li
quors, aul'Ject to the provluiona of
the local option law of the State of
Oregon."
It .Means Vik--n Town. All On-r
the State.
This amendment Is proposed by li
quor mep who ate trying to save
their business from overthrow by
public opinion. For all good pur
poses the amendment la superfluous
as the cities and towns of the State
of Oregon have now home rule. The
real purpose of this law la to sus
perd the operation of the criminal
laws of the atate, as to certain prac
tices, within the bounds of municlnal-
ties at their pleasure. It is contrary
to ihe constitution of the Btate, and
Intended to violate the general cfcn
Inal laws.
It means minority rule, for It
would permit a few people, Incorpo
rated as a city, to override the laws
enacted by all the people of the state
and to defy public opinion.
Finally, the amendment does not
provide for expense of vice and crime
to be borne by the cities alone; but
the county must pay tbe cost of the
city crime, which the county Is not
allowed to suppress.

County of Lnnc.
D. A. Farrington, being first duly
sworn, says:
"I am and since the 9th day of
March, 1905, have been city marshal
of the ctty of Eugene, Lane county,
Oregon. Thnt prior to tbe first of
July, 190C, the sale of Intoxicating
liquors was licensed In said city, and
since that date there has been pro
hibition under local option.
"I am told that more arrests for
drunkenness have been made since
local option went Into effect In Lane
county than formerly. Is being used
as an argument that there is more
liquor sold and more Intoxications
in the city than formerly. As a mat
ter of fact, I am sure that In compar
ison with former times, there has
been, under local option, very little
liquor sold within the city of Eu
gene, and there has been very much
less Intoxication than before.
The records show seventy arrests
for drunkenness for the year prior
to local option and forty during the
first year under local option and
It must be understood tbat now,
whenever a person Is arrested for
being Intoxicated he I. formally com
plained ot and hi. coso becomes a
matter ot record, whereas under li

Class Day Exercises.
the ciass 'OS of the Medford Hlgb
school faced a full houBe lust evening
at their class day exo.-cises. Tbe pro
gram w as somewhat out of the ordi
nary, Inasmuch as the usual class his
tory, class prophecies and class plays
were omitted and a delineation of the
adventures of "Loving Mary" and
Mrs. Wlggs of the Cabbage Patch"
was given by the members of the
clasB. The characters of "Loving
Mary," who can see "(rood In every-
hli'B," and of Mrs. Wigs, whose
rough exterior but partially conceals
a big Irish heart, were ably delineat
ed by the class.
Tbe stige was beartlfully decorat
ed In the colors of the class,, the
background being of red roses upon
which the class number "08" was
outlined In white.
The features outside of the story
of "Loving Mary" were Miss Grace
Brown's solo, "Until You Came,
which waa rendered In the manner
which every one who has heard this
gifted young songstress expects when
her name is seen upon the program
tbe violin trio by Misses Alice Streets,
Ruth Merrick and lone Flynn, which
was a surprise to Borne of the spec
tators, who were unaware that Buch
talented young violtnistes were to be
found In these "wild and woolly" re
gions. It was a program of which any

Italian Colony for This Valley.
It is reported that a colony of
Italians will arrive In Medford some
time during the summer and will se
cure considerable lnnd In the valley
in order to plant grapes and later
meet a winery. A certain business
man of this city has practically
closed the deal for the Bale of the
land. While willing to give out the
story, the gentleman did not wish his
name to be used in us connection at
this time.
The Itnlian colony will come di
rect from New York City and will
number about 20 families. They will
have a place of about 400 acres
which they will set out entirely to
grapes and will later erect a winery.
In speaking of the matter the busi
ness man handling the sale of the
property said:
"Some time ago 1 received an In
quiry from a friend of mine In New
York asking particulars about the
climatic conditions here and the con
ditions surrounding the culture of
grapes. I replied and he wrote back
that there was an Italian In to see
him who wanted full particulars. I
was placed In correspondence with
the gentleman and have since tbat
time practically closed the deal. The
colony of Italian. I. expected to ar
rive here during the summer, so
that they will be In a position to
plant th. vineyard during th. fall
and spring."

Considerable Pipe Laid.
Tbe ditcher at work on Riversil)
avenue is proving to be a great i
cess and Is disproving the statement
made by a number of persons thii. i
could not cut through the harrtoan
on the north end if the avenue.
When the ditches were dug in tnU
section of the ctty for the Bewera ji
system tho contractors were forced to
blast out a part of the ditch, but th!
immense ditcher is cutting Its w.iy
down the roadway at the rate o
four feet a minute. At one tinr
number of stones were encoun'
e4
and the machine was forced to ct;
its speed to two feet a minute. H jw
ever, the machine has dug a good llt
over a quarter of a mile since H
started up on Tuesday afternoon. A
yet the adjustments have Dot nil
been made.
On Riverside avenue men were put
at work following up the machUn
with the work of laying the pipe, an 1
between 9 o'clock yesterday mom
tng and 5 o'clock last evening ov r
1200 feet of pipe was laid, cemented
together and was ready to be testo
At this rate It will not be long be
fore work will be completed.
Whenever the pipe has been tested
the contractors will start refilling
the trenches. This will be done with
teams and graders, as It will be much
faster than If the work Is done by
shovels.
Manager Bade of the company. In
charge of the work, stated yesterday
that he had decided to put the ma
chine on Seventh street on the west
side of the Southern Pacific tracks.
He looked over the street Tuesday
evening and decided that it would pay
him to put the machine on that thor
oughfare. Each street In the city will be torn
up to some extent, as the system is
designed to be most complete, afford
ing each and every part of the city
an adequate water supply.
Street Commissioner Damon has
just finished laying 1900 feet of six-
Inch water pipe on Oakdale avenue,
which will be connected with the
water supply that Is being put In by ;
contract. The main Is on the west I
side of the street od the property- j
owners on that street are to ask for
the privilege of putting down
sewer main on the east side ot th"
avenue will be petitioned for. Tho?e
public-spirited citizens are to tilt)
have the avenue macadamized In tho
near future.
Crushed Rock for Medford.
It will not be long before the city
will he in a position to take out
crushed rork for the streets from the
new quarry In Jacksonville. Man
ager Sandry has a force of 14 men
at work and things are rushing. Yes
terday he finished the grading of the
road for the track from Jackson
ville to th quarry was completed,
and as Boon as the ties and rails for
the track arrive they will be put
down.
Manager Sandry stated Sunday
thnt there was not a great deal of
development work to be done before
It would be possible to get out the
rock to be crushed. The crusher will
probably be in place within a couple
of weeks and ready to run. It is
not expected that there will be any
of the crushed rock brought to Med
ford before the latter part ot June,
but the quarry will be In such .
shape that after the work once starts
there will not be any hitch In con
tinuing to put out the material.
Manager Sandry Is an experienced
time. He left that position to take
charge of the quarry In this city.

Republican Nominee
Reames Broke up Meeting.
While Clarence L. Reames of
Jacksonville was in the Kast ho
took occasion to -break up a boost
ers' meeting in a little town In Kan
sas. And he did it st iply by d t
tributlng among the crowd of bo.t-
, era about 40 booklets descriptive of
, Medford and the Rogue River val
ley.
Mr. Reames was gazing from Vie
window of his Pullman when be l
tlced a great crowd gathered noir
the station In one of the little towas
where the train had stopped for a
considerable length of time. Ho
wondered what the excitement wa
and left his car to learn.
When he reached the crowd he
found that It was a boosters' meet
ing for that section of Kansas. He
stood there for a few moments ami
then thought that he had learned
about all that be wished to know of
what they had to boost. He thought
that perhaps thore might be those In
the crowd who would enjoy reading
about a really good country. So he
hurried back to his section and got
out about 40 copies of the booklet
issued by the Commercial club t
this city and took them out to the
crowd, where he passed them around.
According to Mr. Reames, they fo.
got all about boosting their country
at that time and tried to get a hold
of the literature that he was passing
out. He says that it he had had
400 copies of the booklet he could
bave used them In tbat spot to a
good purpose. He was besieged with
questions during the time that the
train stopped there and he talked
furiously and fast for the few mo
ments that he had. Probably he has
planted the seed that will cause some
families from that section of Kan
sas to come to Medford.
