VOTE FOR WATER BONDS
AND
GREATER
FUTURE GROWTH OF CITY DEPENDS
UPON SECURING SUPPLY OF WATER
Tomorrow morning citizens of Mod fore I will be culled upon to vote an issue of
UU,000 bonds for the purchase of an adequate supply of pure mountain water and the
construction of a gravity system of municipally owned water works. The bonds will
lie disposed of in tl0,U00 denominations as needed and only as much as is necessary for
construction will be sold.
Med ford has reached a point where it must have an abundance of pure water in
order to supply the wants of residents.
Decause Medford has no such water supply, it is daily losing population that
would otherwise remain here.
.Because Medford has no such water supply, residents must pay double insurance
rates, and the city is likely at any time to be completely wiped out by fire.
.Because the city is now dependent upon wells for drinking water, an epidemic of
typhoid or some other disease is likely to ravage the community.
The bond issue is not too large, as the money is to be expended in the construction
of income-producing property.
It has been the history of other cities and will be the history of Medford, that after
the plant has been constructed its income will take care of it, and it will mean in the
long run cheaper taxation as well as cheaper water.
A good water system is always a profit-producer to the community owning il, and
no matter what the initial expense, is the best investment that can be made. Band com
panies are seeking this kind of investment and consider it the safest that can be made, on
account of its yearly appreciation in value and its paying its own dividends.
Abundance of pure mountain water is the best advertisement a community can
have and the most attractive feature to the homeseeker. Medford cannot grow with
out water, and plenty of it. It cannot be made healthful,
cannot be made attractive.
A vote for the bonds means a vote for progress, for
healthier, cleaner, prettier and better city.
A vote for the bonds means that Medford is on the map to stay to become what
nature destined it to be the metropolis of Southern Oregon the best and the most pro
gressive of cities in the vast region between Portland and Sacramento.
The Proposed Water Supply
1. AVasson Canyon Springs is the purest mountain
water obtainable and is furnished direct from springs fed
by the melting snows of Mount Pitt.
2. It is one of the oldest undisputed water rights in
the state and controls the entire flow of the canyon, and has
been held for more than half a century.
15. The city is protected by a sufficient indemnity bond
against any private or corporate ditch or power company.
4. It is the only available pure water supply within a
radius of about 20 miles which carries during the summer
months from :."0 to ."()() inches of water, an amount fully
ample for a city of 2.),000 inhabitants.
The greater portion of the canyon watershed is on
government land and there is every reason to believe that
it will be set aside for a reserve when a petition for such
is presented to the government. Being only six miles long,
such a reserve could be easily fenced, thereby protecting
for all time the city's water supply from any possible pol
lution. ti. The canyon is very narrow and precipitous, shaded
by tall pine trees, which keep it cool in summer, and its
banks, covered with ferns and moss, make it a beauty spot,
while its foaming, sparkling waters abound in mountain
trout.
7. The water is very soft and no city in the state can
claim a purer supply, and few as good. It lies in a direct
line over Roxy Ann from this city.
8. The cost of this project will undoubtedly come with
in the estimates furnished by J Kelsey on the Little
Butte scheme, and is therefore within reach of this city.
9. A I'ter having in great detail investigated every avail
able source of water supply in this locality, we unquali
fiedly recommend the Wasson Canyon Springs to the vot
ers and taxpayers of Medford as being the best and most
feasible source for the citv's water supplv.

Will Materially Reduce
Insurance Rates D. T.
Lawton Upon Project.
What wilt be the effect of bringing
:t yond water supply into Medford.' It
wdl reduce insurance rates materia Ily.
for one I king.
W. II. ( anon, the lire insurance agent,
states thai the rate of insurance will be
reduced to property-owners of Medford
on an average more than '.' per cent
if the proposed Wasson Canyon springs
proposition is accepted. The rate on
the best protect tl risks at Ihe present
time is on a basis of lilt eelil s on t he
Moo, whereas if there was a gravity
system in force in Medford the rate
gain would be at least lo cents on I he
iii. In addition to this. I he Ini.ard
limit would be extended so as to ma
terinlly benefit the property owner.
Mr. Canon states that there is no
water system eipial to a gravity system,
part iciilarly during a heavy fire, be
eanso of Ihe fa el that there is constant
pressure ami an inexhausl ilde sup ph
ot' water, as against ttie fad that under
the same conditions where water is
furnished by direct pressure from en
ginuM. tbetbt-itt- h-Iwuvh a danger' of
1 1 real; age during a fire. This fact is
ihvtiys taken into consideration by all
I'espousi ble insula uce com pa u ies.
Tin-re are buildings now under iusnr
Hue in Medford that cost (he owner
as high as l..itl on (tie $n0, which in
the event of a first class gravity sys
'em of water Would be reduced lieu fly
one hall'.

Kvery one who has seen the water the
city N to purchase is enthusiastic over:
il. Among those who are familiar with,
Wns-p.H ( 'an von springs is 1. T. Law

propMsil ion the best llutt the city tiuuld :
obtain. "The water is pure and cold,
coming entirely from springs. There are
no object iouabte fenllires," slates Mr.
I.ruvlon. " t hat Would be encountered
in tie- I'iIi Lake ditch proposition, as
t lie water from Wasson springs comes
directly from snow in tin- mountains,

lauts. Tin- council is to 1m ngralii
lated on obtaining smh n fine supply;
of water, with th" added advantage ofi
having to bring the water a distance of

Tlie city council, which figured for
over ti year on waler supply, adopted
the special commit I ee 's report without
a dissenting sole.
If lime and space permitted, this pa

Ctty Reaches Medford.
After two months of hardship, privn
tiou and suflering. trudging through
swamps, riers and forests and o er
snows and ni.Miutains, deserted by hi
two companions, (ieorge C. Meyers, who
left San I'lam-isco January -1 to walk
to Portland and win a li M I wager put
up by two California millionaires, ar
rived in Medford al S; :t0 Thursday
morning. A tl lioiiyh experiencing I in
greatest difficulties in crossing the Sis
kiyou mountains, he has kept well
ahead of his time, averaging over 'J'1
miles a day, and now in I lie best ol
health lie is ready for the second and
by far the easier half of his long walk
He is allowed six months to complete
the "oM mile journey. ' but in order h.
win the large stake, which is now on
deposit at I he I'irst Nal ioiial bank ol
San l''raiicisco, Meyers must md oiilv
not exceed the lime limit, but he must
also not exceed the llll given him when
he sel out t ivor his expenses 'and lit
must pay for everything he has. lie
eaiiliol beg, borrow or steal eilhef food
or lodging. No kindly disposed fanner
may give him shelter unless Meyers has
the money to pay for it. Tailure to
comply with tlo'se conditions loses I'm
htm all chance of reward for his la
bors. Although buying only the tie
cessities of life, during the luo months
which have already elapsed, his . i.n
fund is already c really d im i u ished , and
the fear thai he may become slranded
by exhausl ing his money allowance
urges him to press forward with I tie
greatest possible haste.
Nearly Lost Life, In Snow.

heard the terms of the wager, am of

Two ..(hers started with him, but both
gave up on the oile r side of the moan

money gone.
While coming through Ihe mountains
Meyers nearly b.sl his life by being
snowed in niibs from any habit a t imi .
