With no Insurance the loss falls heavy on the three owners of the mill although they have the satisfaction of knowing that they nrc out of debt, it Is not only a severe calamity on the owners of the mill, but It Is felt In the valley, for It waa the nearest and best place to get lumber, and the straight and honor able way they hare of doing business haa made them many warm friends In these part.

KPEAK8 OF OVK KOAIM. John F. Campbell, a prominent civil and mining engineer of Kal goorle, West Australia, is apendlng the summer In this aectlon of the country looking over several mining propositions here. He la especially Interested in the subject of good roada and atatea tiiat he hopes there will be an Improvement In the roads of Southern Oregon before a great while. 'We in Australia are In the throe of a mighty good-roads movement, ' said Mr. Campbell yesterday, "and I naturally am Interested in the mat ter of good roads wherever E go. I understand that thtre was some agi tation of this subject in this vallev aim time ago. and I trust that ther will be a revival aoon. 'In many waya I find conditions her. in Oregon very similar to those in Australia, though of course out country la newer and not so fully de veloped. Itoad building In Australia is attracting, much public attention; highway, many miles in length, are being constructed Into districts which a few years ago were given up en tirely Ho sheep graxfsg '. are using a foundation com-1 nosed of nine Inches of concrete. upon the top of which we lay a stir- face of hardwood blocks. You will understand that hardwood Is 'much more plentiful with ua that with you here, so the cost of the surfacing lr not prohibitive. 'I must admit that the roads here hare been a source or disappoint ment to me. In lue mining districts of Australia we expect to put up 1 with Inconveniences, but such a para-! dlse as Oregon ahould not be without I good roads." ' ! Mr. Campbell also spoke of an-1 other matter which may prove of in- terest to our farmers. He said: . . . i- j . , . I iu Australia me uairy cuw is (liieen. She has redeemed the coun-' try and hundreds of farmers, who .'through the city, and will do so loat nearly all they had by the I when they jet the time. They also drought of 1903. are now better off jagree to keep the park In good than they ever were, and It Is all dir.' ahapt. to the cow. Australian butter ranks I John M. Root spoke on the mat well up with the best butter In th!ler of an incinerator and, though no v.-orld. The Danish butter Is per-( vote was taken. It seemed to be tbe haps the best made, and next conies i consensus of opinion at the club that the New Zealand product, while Aits-; such r plant should be Installed by tralian butter la a good third. ur butter making Is all done by the co-oneratlve creamerv svstem. It has been years since ftie farmer mn butter on the farm. We have utile j use for a daul-purnose cow In Austral':- That la, the dairy, farmer wants a cow thnt will glre milk ten months In the year, and he uses It for no other purpose, while thore who raise cattle for beef' have no tl.nmht of milk production. Tue best dairy cow we find comes from crossing the Ayrshire and the Short horn. "There seems to re a lot of go iti . luei lea, and I think 1 shall cany back a good Impression of your country. "Just now the politicians of New South Wales are in a tangle over the location of the site for the fed eral capital. Under the constitu tional agreement, the capital must he located In New South Wales, but not In Sydney. Te parliament of New South Wales has the decision of this matter, hut the membera who have It In charge cannot get to gether." ran T ,r i IXMMEIU'1AL t'l.l'U MEETING. "Recall," "executive aesslons," "water committee, hired engin eers." "Wasaon canyon" and "coun cil" were a few ot the worda called most frequently Into use laat evening at the regular meeting of the Com mercial club, and thereby banga a tale. Editor Putman of the Tribune la anxious to know what the apeclal water committee ot the city council haa been doing at the recent execu tive sessions beld by tnem, and last evening he started In to and out. Councilman Merrick was the only member of the special water commit' tee of the city cour-cll who waa pres ent, and upon him devolved the duty of telling the reasons why the com mittee beld executive sessions. A great debate followed, which ended exactly where It started, after a dis cussion of nearly two hour. Many members of tb. club dis cussed the matter. A member could see no reason why the matter should not be given publicity, and some thought mat tue water committee waa right. Mr. Merrick stated that he knew that the matter was one of public business, but that the committee could do more If they were left to themselves, thus closing deala aa do busy firms. It, being a bad policy to "bunt ducks with a brass band." He stated that If any one had not confi dence In the committee that they were entitled to start the recall and that he. for one, atood ready to re sign when naked to. Although much of the diacuaaion waa of a most unsatisfactory nature, ytlll some light waa ahed among those present. The meeting of th eclub waa well attentat, about 40 being present The following bills .were allowed and ordered paid: Medford Book store. 13.20; rent, $J0: secretary's salary. 100- William Garnett, $10; R.

A communication waa received from the committee In charge of the Rose festival In Portland, thanking ;the club for Its assistance during the festival and asking for aid for next year. Th- con'mlttee on the matter of having the road to Crater lake fixed reported that Judge Nell would lend jhls support towards having $5,000 , appropriated to put the road In ahape. Within a week or ten days the matter of cleaning up the city will be undertaken.

SALEM. July 15. In an opinion by Chief Justice Bean, the Supreme court today reversed the case of Mc Kenna vs. the City of Portland, and upheld the amendment to the Port land charter. I authorizing the issu ance of bonds' for enlarging the wa ter system. The amendment was adopted by the people ot Potrland in June. 1907. the amendment hav ing been submitted to a vote by the city counril. This suit to enjoin the issuance of the bonds waa brought upon the ground that the council had no authority to aubmtt the ques tion without an Initiative petition. In the rourt below Judge J. B. Cleland held the amendment Invalid. The Supreme court reverses this In one of the shortest and most direct opinions ever handed down In an Important case. As a result of this opinion the city of Portland wUl be permitted to expend on city utilities the sum of $.".335,000. which was voted in 1907, and will be distributed as fol lows: Additional pine line to Bull Run. $3. 000.000; park and boulevard sys tems. $1,000,000: public dock, $500, 000; new Madison street bridge. $4.'0.000; flrebnat and water mains. . ,.1,000.
