Commercial ClubAleet
Tonight-Doan Ready
To Build Road To
Coal Pit.
There will be u special meeting of
Hie Commercial club tonight to take up
the question of securing a eight of way
into Med ford from the ' proposed rail
road from the Med ford coal mine.
R. A. I Joan, who represents Los An
geles capitalists, reports that the line
has been financed and that his people,
who are developing the mine, stand
ready to construct the railroad at once.
The building of this line will solve the
fuel problem for Med ford for all time
and the opening up of the mine means
more to the city than almost, nnv one
event.
The committee appointed to assist
the Pacific 4: Kastern in securing a
right of way in Medford is expected
to report tonight also.
.1. W. Dodge, owner of one of the
largest livestock ranches in the coun
try, at Talent, has sent, in money to
join the club and paid six months' dues.
His example is to be followed by other
farmers, and it is hoped to secure as
members all the wideawake people in
the county.
Kveryone in Medford who has not
become a member is requested to get
into the swim and help along the move
ment for upbuilding and developing the
Rogue liiver valley.

Many Miles of Crush'

To Be Laid In Med
ford Soon.
The city council held a short spe
cial meet ing Thursday night, and
passed an ordinance amending the tire
ordinance so that it is possible to erect
a structure not fireproof, in the rail
road right of way .when the majority
of t he whole council deems it to the
best interest of the coin in unity that
such a structure shall be erected. Speci
fications ant! designs must first be sub
mitted to the council.
C. A. Mulbneuf, di vision freight
agent of the Southern Pacific, reported
that his company would make a rate
of 120 cents a ton, or $1 11 car, on crushed
rock from Cold Hay to Medford. This
extremely low rate will enable the ma
cadamizing of six or eight miles of city
streets, and together with the bitulithic
or asphalt paving on Seventh street,
will make Medford the best paved town
in Oregon.
Mr. Malboeuf stated that, the busi
ness of the Southern Pacific at Med
ford and the Uogue liiver valley showed
no effects of hard times as reported
cast, but 11 constant, gain all along tlie
line, and he looks for the present year
to be the most prosperous in the history
of the railroad in Southern Oregon.

SAN FRANCISCO, Fob. 14. A
lengthy affidavit by Abe K'uef, disclos
ing considerable history regarding tho
now famous "immunity contract," and
the alleged pressure brought upon Kuef
to induce him to tell "all he knew,"
was rend by Henry Ach, counsel fur
Hind', in Judge Lawlor's court.
It relates the pressure brought to
bear upon Kuef through his mother,
father, sister, Rev. Jacob Nieto and
Rev. Hernard Kaplan, who with agents
of the prosecution urged him to tes
tify before the grand jury "for the
good of the community,' 'and how Ruef
finally, on tlie most positive assurances
and guarantee of immunity and permis
sion to withdraw his plea of guilty,
went, before the grand jurv and testi
fied. Affidavits of Ruef's father and Mis
ter were also read. They corroborated
Ruef's statements that he was to bo
given immunity. The case went over
until this afternoon.
Superior Judge Frank II. Dunne,
when approached for an affidavit
about what transpired at the alleged
mi. Iniglit meeting, wheu it is said that
he gave his assurances that he would
allow Ruef to withdraw his plea of
guilty, today ordered Frank J. Murphy,
