Gov ernor Chamberlain, Oregon's non partisan aspirant for the senatorsblp. Is to take the stump In Oregon for Bryan. This was the Information given out yesterday at Democratic headquarters In this city. The na tional committee of the Democratic party is known to have been negoti ating with Governor Chamberlain for bis services as a campaign speak er for some time, and It is. under stood that he has consented to devote the last two or three weeks of the campaign to speechmaking for the Nebraskan. An Itinerary has not been arranged for the governor, but those in charge of the campaign in this state will Insist that be spend all of his time In Oregon for the as sistance he may be able to render in carrying the state for the Nebraskan. That Governor Chamberlain would take an active part In the campaign before it closed has long been sus pected, although to date he has un waveringly adhered to his announced non-partisan policy. He bas persist ently refrained from taking any part In a public meeting of the Dem ocrats since the June election. When the faithful held their rally in the Baker theater several weeks ago to ratify the nomination of Bry an and Kern, Governor Chamberlain sent his regrets and the audience lis tened to ex-Senator J. M. Gearin, State Senator M. A. Miller and other orators of the party, but the gover nor was not among those present. Again, when Alton B. Parker, the Sage of Esopus, exhorted the voters to support the Democratic nominee. the governor was at Pelican bay, flirting with Harriman. But apparently he has been smoked out. The first intimation that 'Our George" would soon resume his public appearances at Democratic runctlons leaked out the other day when George H. Thomas, chairman or the Democratic county central committee, announced that Cham berlain would ofllclate as chairman of the reception committee on the occasion of Senator Gore's visit to Portland next Friday. This was the opening wedge, and then the mem bers of the national committee got busy and Insisted that the needs of the party demanded that Chamber lain come out from hiding. The Interests or the governor. however, do not end with the possi bility or Bryan's success In Oregon. By carrying thlB state ror 'Bryan, Chamberlain could better assert his title to the senatorshlp and demand an election at the hands or the leg islature. The managers or the Dem ocratic campaign in this state have been much encouraged by the apathy and apparent Indifference or the Re publicans and have Insisted that by means or an aggressive campaign there is a good righting chance to carry the state. But to overcome the enormous Republican majority. notwithstanding the existence or factional differences within the dom inant party, the united assistance of every Democrat was needed. Viewing the situation in this light. the combined influence of the state and the national committees was di rected on Governor Chamberlain, and he has yielded. BUNCOM DOINGS. D. L. Jones of Forest Creek has gone to California. Gage Pierce, who lives on the hill near Buncom, Is on the sick list. C. M. Ruch of Ruch made a busi ness trip to Medford last Saturday.

Suit has been entered by the Ash land Electric Power & Light com pany In the Circuit court of this county asking ror an Injunction re straining the city or Ashland, the derendants, from Issuing bonds for the purpose of installing an electric light plant and for the coBts and disbursements. There was an election held at Ash land recently for the purpose of see ing If the people there wanted a mu nicipal electric plant and for the Is suing or bonds In the sum of 280,- 000 for the construction of the same. This was carried by an over whelming majority. In fart, there were hardly any votes against the proposition. Previous to the election It was ru mored that ir the proposition carried that the company would make every elfort to block It, but when the citi zens showed what tbey thought about It In such an unmistakable manner as they did It was thougbt the company would drop the matter right -there and then. Recently a horizontal raise In rates or rrom SO to 75 per cent was an nounced. This led the council to take up the project where work was left off before, and the people are strongly behind tbem in the present plans of carrying It through and In stalling a modern plant. Engineers' surveys and reports show the project to be entirely feasible to generate from Ashland creek more than dou ble the horsepower that Is now used In Ashland for both electric light and power. 4 uv wv wv iii vV vY wV Lf WV wv PAGE FENCE Best Treatment for a Barn.

A dispatch from Washington says: "Seventy thousand acres of land on the California-Oregon line have been set aside by President Roosevelt as a bird reservation. The president's order makes a res ervation of all the Islands In Lower Klamath lake and all the marsh and swamp lands in the lake basin which are not suitable for agricultural pur pose. Half the bird reservation lies in Oregon and half In California. The order says: "The taking or the destruction ol birds, eggs, nests and the taking or killing or any species or native birds ror any purpose whatever is prohib ited and warning Is expressly given to all persons not to commit within the reserved territory any or the acts hereby enjoined." The order Is made subject to and is not intended to Interfere with the use or any part or the reserved area by the reclamation service. The bird I reservation Is to be called the Klam ath Lake reservation. The tract Is probably the greatest breeding place In the United States ror wild geese. ducks and other water row). TAKKS LIKK FOR WATER. BELLEFONTAINE, O., Sept. 21. Fighting over the last drink or water left in camp, the drouth hav ing dried up all the wells and springs in the vicinity, Frank Dadish was shot and killed by two men at the Ohio electric railway construction camp today. Dadish wanted the wa ter ror his wire, who Is living in the camp. The police are seeking Mike Rulu and John Barlca, who are charged with the shooting. Only enough water for one drink was left In the camp. Rulu and Ba rlca arrived just as Dsdlsh was pouring the last bit of water into a cup to carry to his wife. The other men demsnded that he divide up the water. He refused and the shooting followed. BEAVER, Pa., Sept. 21. For the first time In over 30 year the Ohio river Is so low as to expose at Smith's Ferry, just below here, the famous picture rocks, of which col umns have been written In history, and which are mentioned in several historical novels, among the latter being "The Lattlmers." The picture rocks, which are In dian hieroglyphics, were carved In the stone of what Is now part of the bed of the Ohio river, and are sup posed to have been placed there 200 year ago. They are life-sized and represent horse, a parade of In dian, an Immense turtle, and many footprints, which a life-sized Indian I examining carerully. KAGLK POINT. The Baptist church, the only one at Eagle Point, will be dedicated to morrow night and quite a crowd will go rrom Medford to assist in tne good work. Rev. O. F. Clevenger has been laboring In "the master's vine yard" for some time and at last his good work has brought forth fruit. The cany trials encountered in es tablishing a church In a sparsely settled community cannot be realized by those who are accustomed to pat ronizing the city churches. How ever, the members of the First Bap tist church or this city and its pas tor. Rev. Mr. Hall, have shown in every way that their hearts and souls have been In the work at Eagle Point and the bread cast upon the waters has returned. Although this Is a Baptist church, yet all Christians are Invited to at tend the dedication ceremonies. Just how the Medford people will go there has not been srranged as yet, but lull particulars will appear In to morrow's Morning Mail, and every member or any church In Medford who can do so should go and "boost" for the little church at Eagle Point. BKNSATIO.XAI. 1EVKL01'MKNT. DETROIT. Mich.. Sept. 22. The moat sensational development In the present campaign was the sending to day by Colonel Bryan ot a telegram to President Roosevelt demanding that Roosevelt produce proof that Governor . Haskell of Oklahoma, treasurer of the Democratic national committee, ever was connected with the Standard OH company. Seizing upon the opportunity thus afrorded, Bryan took occasion to serve notice upon the president that he would not permit any responsible member or the Republican organization to misrepresent the attitude or the Democratic party In the present campaign, and further, that the Dem ocratic party was "making an hon orable, honest fight" In defense of its principles and policies, and that It expected fair and honorable treat ment from those In charge of the Republican campaign. Copiea of the telegrams were giv en out for publication just before Bryan's departure for Ann Arbor. Bryan spent five hours In consulta tion with his advisors before send ing the telegram to the president In response to the statement of the president published this morning, In which the president Indorsed the charges made against Haskell by Hearst, that Haskel had been con nected with the Standard Oil com pany and had attempted to bribe Attorney-General Monett of Ohio. Up to a late hour tonight he had received no reply from Roosevelt. Bryan arrived here early this morn ing and was given a rousing recep tion at the station by thousands of workers on their way to places or employment. The Journey to Ann Arbor was made In special car and when he arrived there was accorded a cordial greeting. To a gathering of several thous and persons, Bryan spesklng from the balcony of the Cook house, di rected his remarks especially to young men, discussing the trust, tsr Iff, labor question and government guarantee of bank deposit. Bryan severely criticised Taft. Returning to Detroit this evening. Bryan addressed a monster meeting In Light Guard armory. To the thou sands outside, who failed to gain admittance, Bryan gave a brief over flow talk. In both addresses he compared platform of the two par ties.
