FOR A CANNING
FACTORY HERE
Eastern Capitalist Looking
Oyer This Valley With
Object in View.
The Morning Mall does not claim
that there will be a canning factory
started In Medtord In the near fu
ture, but It can state that the pros
pects for such an Industry being lo
cated here are very good indeed.
A few days ago a gentleman of the
name of N. T. C. Cross of Louisville,
Ky., arrived In Medford and made no
secret of the fact that he was here
looking for a location. He was not In
the fruit-growing business, nor did
he wish to engage In It, but was on
the lookout for something In a bus
iness line.
"We need a canning factory here,
and need It bad," remarked one of
the active members of the Commer
cial club, when spoken to by Mr.
Cross.
"Then I will see about starting a
canning factory here," was the re
ply immediately given by Mr. Cross.
Soon after the conversation re
ferred to, Mr. Cross was busily en
gaged In securing all the Information
he could get In connection with the
canning business. This morning he
Intends to meet Mr. Welsh, of the B.
P. Theiss ft Co., the wholesale gro
cers, and secure additional informa
tion. Mr. Welsh some time ago took a
very active part in trying to organ
lie a canning company here and se
cured all the data necessary. Re
garding the matter of why It did not
materialise at that time, one of the
leading business men of the city
said:
"Mr. Welsh is a friend of mine. He
la a great hustler, but simply be
cause everything In connection with
the subscribing of the stock and fur
nishing the necessary capital Inside
of 15 minutes by the watch he said
that he bad no more time to spare
and made bis office In about three
jumps from the rooms of the Com
mercial club.."
Mr. Cross, It Is understood. Is well
fixed financially. He has had several
talks with Secretary Miller of the
Commercial club and appears to be
very favorably Impressed with Med
ford and Its prospects In a business
way. He also states that he would
like to make his home here In any
eent, but would prefer to engage In
some business.
THE HAAS SUICIDE.
Coroner's Jury Brings in Verdict Af
ter Investigating Four Days.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Nov. 23.
A coroner's Jury, which has baen
Investigating for four days the sui
cide of Morris Haas, brought in a
verdict this evening. The verdict is
as follows:
"That the said gu&snot wound was
self-inflicted by Morris Haas with
suicidal intent, following his attempt
.to assassinate Assistant District At
torney Francis J. Heney.
"We further find from the testi
mony of numerous witnesses exam
ined that gross negligence and In
competency was shown by the police
officials having In charge the search
ing of the prisoner, Morris Haas, in
not properly safeguarding to the bel
Interests of the public, thus mak'-ig
It possible for a small Derringer,
which caused the death of Morris
Haas, to remain secreted on his pcr
aon. "We also find there has been a
strong feeling of animosity engender
ed between the police department
and the district attorney's of flea,
which Is greatly to be deplored In the
present crisis through which our city
, Is passing. They should work In har
mony to the end that all crime In our
.midst be detected and punished.
"We, the Jury, recommend that Ihe
mayor of this city thoroughly Inves
tigate the condition of attars and that
he take such active and immediate
steps as he may deem necessary to
.remedy this palpable condition."
A CASE FOR SOLOMON.
Six Persons Claiming Baby Found
on Doorstep.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 10. Six
Mrinni are contending before the
city authorities for the right to take
possession of a small person not s
nrntli nM. who was found on the
doorstep of a North Eighteenth street
house early one morning. Meantime,
fh nolle nf this cltv and Pittsburg
are attempting to trace the. move-
Bents of the child s parents, who left
tfcia Htv that afternoon.
Most earnest, pernaps, of the ap
plicants are Mr. and Mrs. Ernest M.
rmmig of 249 North Seventeenth
street. In whose home the child was
U rn and by whom It came to be lov
ed as tbelr own son might have been.
PV- the Freemans have been married
seven years, but no children of their
own have come to them.
Bo, when a boy baby, was bora to
their lodgers they were delighted.
The parents were of somewhat mys
terious origin. They had lived In
Pittsburg. The husband was known
as Louis P. Ulrica, and the wife's
maiden name, she said, was Margaret
Sch warts.
They were devoted to each other,
and after the baby's arrival they
scorned more affectionate than ever.
The husband was a handsome fellow
and earned a good salary as an ele
vator constructor.
Then the young pair announced to
the Freemans that they were about
to quit their lodgings and return to
Pitlvburg. They went away with the
baby, and next Monday morning they
returned without It. They had lett
It In Oermantown, they said, with
friends, and were to go and get t.
They did not return to the Seven
teenth street bouse.
The Freemans read In the paper
that evening of the finding of a child
by a policeman in front of 120 North
Eighteenth street. They hurried to
the city hall and Identified the young
ster. . On Its finger was a plain gold
ring which Mrs. Freeman had bought
as a farewell gift.
The Freemans at once applied tor
Its guardianship. Later in the day
they were surprised to receive the
call of a woman who had read In s
newspaper an advertisement Inserted
by the Ulrichs, offering tbelr child
fcr adoption.
Then the little fellow wai banded
over to the custody of Visitor of Chil
dren Theodore P. Reese, who soon
found himself In difficulties. Six dif
ferent applications reached him, and
all the persons seemed aggrieved
that they were not awarded the child
at once.
GOOD FOR TALENT.
Tills Enterprising Town Will Soon
Have Electric Lights.
Talent is soon to have electric
lights. Messrs. Dunlop and Ovens,
who for the past two wao'ta have
been consulting our clt'.rcns, with a
view of inducing them to ake llnhts,
met with considerable encourage
ment and last Monday appearol an
the scene with a gaug of electricians
and are now busy wiring the buslnoss
houses and residences. A lurge arc
light will be placed In the center of
the street near Wolter's store,
which will light up three streets tor
quite a distance. Other street lights
will be placed throughout the town.
Talent people are alive to the need
of modern conveniences and the in
stallation of good lights Is a move In
the right direction.
It is planned to commence the
erectolon of the sub-station next
Monday, the work being rushed to
completion as fast as possible. An
other force of men will also be em.
ployed erecting poles and stringing
the street wires. Before long the
lights will be turned on. Talent

LEARN ABOUT GOOD ROADS.
Grants Pass Business Men Close
Stores to Attend Meeting.
GRANTS PASS, Or., Nov. 24.
The good roads convention that met
yesterday was well attended by a
representative body of business men.
All stores closed during the after
noon session. The opera house was
nicely decorated and back of the
speaker the Hogue River Fruit Ex
change had on display Rogue River
apples.
County Judge Jewel presided at
the meeting and In an appropriate
manner introduced the speakers.
The opening address was made by
County Fruit Inspector H. C. Bate-
am. He took for his subject, "Good
Roads and Their Benefit to Fruit
growers." His remarks were very
practical, Indeed, and well received.
Benton Bowers of Ashland ex
plained fully during his address the
road-bonding system of California
and Its efficiency In assisting rural
communities. Following his
marks, the principal speaker of the
day, John H. Scott of Salem, took
up the subject of good roads, and
presented It to the audience In a
most interesting manner. His Ideas
of community co-operation In build'
Ing roads was well received. The
speaker said with state aid that such
results could be brought about by
direct legislation; that a system
should be adopted like or similar to
the one In use in Michigan: that to
assist along these lines, convict la
bor could be used to prepare the ma
terial to bs used on the roads, and
this would lessen the burden of tax
on each district.
Mr. Melkle of Seattle was the last
speaker, and his remarks of what
was being done In Washington and
California In good roads movement
were well received. At the close of
the meeting a league waa formed,
We always feel sorry for a digni
fied man when the taffy Is being
passed.
E
THAN HE SAID
L. Hamilton More Than
Making Good on His
Water Proposition.
When the recent water con'.rsst
election was on The Morning Mail
may have said In substance that if
Mr. Hamilton was awarded the con
tract for supplying the city wlta wa
ter he and his company would "make
good."
The Morning Mall didn't have
much hesitancy In making that state
ment because Mr. Hamilton aald he
would and "Shorty's" word Is as
good as a government bond, but Is he
making good? Let us see.
In the first place, the Fish Lake
Ditch company closed the contem
plated deal for the purchase of the
upper Sllnger ranch. There are 156
acres in this tract, and $7600 was
paid tor It. Why did they do It?
Well, It was a good buy. to hsgln
with, and then Little Butte creek
runs through It for a distance of one
mile, and the company can, and u'U,
fet ce the creek on both sides tor this
full distance and there will ne that
much of the creek which cannot, be
come contaminated from any stock
which might happen that way. Then
again It may be that the water In
take will be on this land, and it so,
the land and right-of-way for this
Intake will not cost the city any
thing. Then again, there Is the "hurry-
up" or emergency water which the
company has agreed to supply from
the "Bradshaw drop." Nothing said
about this before election, out it will
be a mighty good thing to have lots
of water to spill around over the city
about next August time. It won't be
as good as we will get when the per
manent Intake Is established above
the Hanley ford, but it will be wet.
will put out a fire and there'll be lots
of It
The Morning Mall Is satisfied those
535 voters will never have cause to
regret doing what they did on No
vember 5, 1908.
The above telegram received yes
terday afternoon Incidentally tells
the story that the Chicago banking
firm of John Nuveen & Co. had
stepped down from their high horse
and agreed to do the square thing
with the city of Medford. The rest
of the story Is told by the following
telegrams:
"Chicago, Nov. 23.
'BenJ. M. Collins, Medford.
'We have sold part of the bonds,
our customers cannot wait any long.
er, therefore ship immediately about
$50,000 1908 maturity. We will pay

up balance at same terms, as you
need the money, or before, as we
need to fill orders.

The first telegram printed above
was a reply to the last one and
shows that everything Is now closed
In a financial way In connection with
the waterworks matter, and there Is
nothing new In the way to prevent
the work from being proceeded with.

FIRE DESTROYS CREAMERY.
Disastrous Blaze la Medford Occur
red Tuesday.
The quick work of the tire depart
ment was the only thing which saved
the residence of C. D. Vincent from
Injury and the Rogue River Cream
ery from total destruction yesterday
afternoon. As It was, the loss to tne
creamery, the machinery and the
household effects will amount to sev
eral thousand dollars, which Is only
partially covered by Insurance.
The alarm of fire was sounded at
the tire hall at 13 minutes after 1
o'clock and after the fire was out the
department returned to the hall at
9 minutes to 2 o'clock. That made
Just 38 minutes for the department
to hitch up, go to the fire, do the
necessary work and return to the
flro hall.
The creamery was situated on Riv
erside avenue and while attending
to his duties there as butter-maker,
M. McCrosky noticed the fire in the
front part of the building, which Is
used as an office. At that time the
fire was around an alr-tlght stove
and an effort was made to get the
stove out of doors. When It was
found that to do so was Impossible,
an alarm was telephoned In.
Before the department arrived and
while the firemen were at work, a
number of people assisted in remov
ing the contents of the building, in
the rear part of which Mr. Gaddis
and bis family lived. While engaged
In the work, Mr. Gaddis had a nar
row escape with his life. He, with
A. C. Johnson and Art Good, were
In one of the rooms when the flames
suddenly burst through the wall.
This happened so quickly that John
son and Good barely had time to
reach the door. When they did so
tbey found that Mr. Good was al
most overcome with the flames and
smoke. He was got to the door and
outside Just In time to save his life.
Mr. Gaddis, who Is the manager of
the creamery. Intends to rebuild Just
as soon as he can get things In shape
to do so. In the meantime the bus
iness will continue as usual, as the
machinery was but slightly damaged
and will be running again In a day
or two.
WAS TOO OLD.
Therefore Bride-Elect' Refused . to
Marry Groomsman.
NEWARK, N. J., Nov. 23. Some
brides have balked at the altar be
cause of the extreme youth or tot
tering infirmity of the prospective
bridegroom, but who ever beard of a
wedding called off because of the old
age of the groomsman?
That Is what has happened, and
while the weeping maid has returned
to her parents, her prospective hus
band has steamed away, aboard a
United States armored cruiser to for
get his woes on foreign seas.
The participants In this unique af
fair are Miss Amelia Wright, aged
21, a pretty young woman who lives
with her parents at McWharter and
Chestnut streets. Thomas Cunning

the United - States steamship Du
buque, now bound for the Carribean,
and Charles P. Phillips, more than
GO, and proprietor of the Rock Island
hotel, at Walnut and New Jersey
avenue. News of the strange ending
of the wedding to which a company
of guests had been Invited has Just
leaked out.
Cunningham, who was stationed at
the time at the Brooklyn navy-yard,
had secured a leave of absence for
the hsppy event. Everything was ar
ranged and the minister bad been
summoned. When the bride appeared
she was told that Mr. Phillips would
officiate as the best man. , Instantly
she balked, declaring that he was too
old to officiate In such a capacity.
No amount of argument would
swerve the young women's determin
ation, and reluctantly Cunningham
was forced to call off the wedding.

Will Be in Medford With a
Corps of Lecturers
Before Long.
There are to be great doings In the
agricultural and horticultural lines
In this vicinity In the near future.
Among them will be a visit of seven: .
men appointed by congress to Inves
tigate farm conditions, a visit of the
demonstration train which is being
run through the state by the South
ern Pacific railway and the showing
of the different kinds of Insects
which Infest the orchards.
The exact datea tor the above Im
portant events cannot be given for a
day or two, but due notice will be
given by The Morning Mall so as all
who are Interested can attend one or
both of the meetings. Regarding:
the visit of the delegates appointed..
by congress, they will be attended to-
by the fruit growers and the ranch
men.
The demonstration train la in
charge of Instructors from the Ag
ricultural college and great crowda
have attended the meetings which,
have been held so far. They have
everything so arranged that they can
give a demonstration of any line re
quired. The train has visited a
great many points In Oregon, and It
was thought that the Rogue River
valley was not scheduled. However,
word now comes asking for a date
which will be convenient.
The visit of the seven congress
men will be another Important event
as they will make a report of how
they find farming ' conditions
throughout the whole country. This
report will be printed and distributed
everywhere.
The slides for the moving pictures
have already been received from the
Agricultural department. They show
many of ,the insects which destroy
tbe trees, as well as vegetables and
grain. They are shown in an en
larged form while they are at work,
and a person can get a far better
Idea In seeing the pictures than they
can by reading about them. Then,
In addition to that, Professor P. J.
O'Gara, the government expert, re
cently sent here, will tell all about
the pests as they are shown on the
screen, at the Savoy theater.
As before stated, the dates for a!l
the events mentioned above will be
given by The Morning Mall. AH of
them are sure to be here, and this
should be good news to the orcbard
Ists and ranchmen, as well as to a
great many other people who are
more or less Interested In horticul
tural affairs.
