satisfaction of knowing that they nrc
out of debt, it Is not only a severe
calamity on the owners of the mill,

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

'. 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

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

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.

M. O'Brien were admitted to iem-
bershln.
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. The city la to be
cleaned by sections, according to a
plan mapped out by Chairman Welsh
of the 2... 000 club.

DECISION REVERSED.
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
