CONTRACTS FOR WATER
KM BROTHERS TO BUILD
LARGE IRRIGATION WORKS
Owners of Twin Falls Ten Million Dollar System Will Make Heavy
Expenditures in Rogue River Valley if Convinced That Demand
for Water Is Here Every Person Needing Water Is Asked to
Sign for It at Once-Representative Now In the City.
The Fish Lake water system is uu-
der option to ,r. 8. and V. S. Kuhn of
Pittsburg lilid New York, two of the
wealthiest bankers of tin smoky city.
They are heavily interested in water
:iud irrigation corporations, owning
over HI waterworks plants in various
parts of the country. They are at
present building immense irrigation
works at Twin Falls, 'Idaho, which aro
among the greatest in the world and
will eventually cover .100,000 acres of
land at a cost of $10,01111,111111.
W. S. Kuhn recently visited Medford
as guest of .led' D. Heard. Ho was so
impressed with the possibilities that
will result from irrigutuia in the
Rogue liiver valley that he sent his
engineers and lawyers here to make an
investigation and report. The ileal in

i no wont started and pushed to eoniple-
I ion in time to irrigate a considerable
portion of the valley this summer, and
I lie entire works be finished this fall.
To Invest Millions.
Should the Kuhn brothers exercise
their option il will mean an investment
of several millii.us ill the lloglle River
valley and probably lead to the devel

ever Kuhn brol tiers become interested
their investments cover a wide field.

ENGLISH HOrttROWERS IN
FRENZY OVER MARKET
The Kaglish hopgrowei-s have worked
th(-;!Wel-es up into u frenzy over what
Hicy term the "dumping" of American
hops on their market. Tlicy are still
holding iudigual ion meetings in the
various hop counties and loudly clam
oring for relief from the government in
the shape of n -lOshilliiig tariff on im
ported hops. The parliamentary iuves-
tie:;tin;; comeiiitee has held sessions for
two mouths past and heard a lot of
evidence, but as most of the commis
sioners are free traders, nothing is ex
pected lo come of the incuiry.
Some strange statements have been
made by Kuglish growers at the com
mittee hearings. The burden of most
if the evidence has been that Oregon
and California growers can produce
hops cheaper than the Knglish plant
ers, because Hie labor on this coast is
done by Chinese. A Cranbrook grower
and brewer named Winch declared to
II nmittee: "I have letters beg
ging me to buy 2U.I1II0 bales of Willi
Oregons at 2ils a cwt. I won't have
Ihem they're like so many black cur
rant, leaves." The Ilopgrowers' De
fense association stated that returns
it has received from every parish in
Kent shows that .T 1 -i! a "''res of hops
have I n grubbed since October .'to
last. The committee says that immedi
ate action is necessary to save the in
dustrv from utter ruin. At a mass
meeting ill Canterbury it wns proposed

'lopment of the Willamette valley to
the land values than any other work
that could be done.
Kuhn brothers' engineers seek to as
certain the probable demand by orch-
anlists for water and all those owning
pmcos wnicu they wish irrigated, oituor
now or in tho. future, should signify
their intention and join in (til endeavor
to guarantee to the parties ' proposing
to put in the waterworks that there
will bo sufficient demand for irrigation
water to insure the success of tho un
dertaking. Contracts Circulated.
Contracts aro being prepared and
will be circulated for signatures of the
landowners. Thoy will be deposited in
local banks to bo delivered only in
case Messrs. Kuhn faithfully perform
their duties as set forth in tho con
tracts, namely, starting work within .10
days ami completing it within n rea
sonahie period. Jn this manner full
protection is afforded thoso who pledge
, menisci ves to liny water.
The matter has been discussed with
the leading orchardmen of tho vallov
all of whom have been giving it. their
hearty support, realizing that a new
era will lie inaugurated with tho ad
vent of water, which will make the
Rogue River valley tho foremost fruit
growing district in tho United States,
wiin a consequent advancement of laud
values ami a stimulation of business
generally.
Mr. l-entress Hill, the representative
