WATER FOR
MEDFORD
Committee Members As
r serts Quantity and Qua
lity are all Right- City
Protected by Bond.
Publication of (he charges made by
R. TI. Whitehead and others regarding
Wnsson Canyon Springs water created
no little talk, but I lie general opinion
is that the water committee know what
it w:is about. Members of the commit
teo declare that the, facts are as pre-
Heated by these citizens and that the
city is amply protected, and that, a
sufficient supply of pure mountain wa
ter lias been secured.
The committee members assert that
they accepted the only proposition in
sight that had a guarantee attached,
and it is further set forth that if ad
ditional water is needed it can be so
cured from tho north fork of the Little
Butte, the same pipeline and survey
being used.
City Engineer Osgood states that the
pipoline will not be completed for a
year at least, and that in the meantime
accurate data will he collected regard
ing tho flow of Wnsson Canyon Springs.
As regards both quuutity and quality,
there is no question bill that the city
has made no mistake.
Mr. Whitehead and parly missed the
springs, which" are to ono side of the
main canyon. The springs do not head
in tho canyon proper. 'x
Mr. Whitehead offers to pay tho ex
penses of a party nf business men t(T be
selected by the council water commit

moved that tho trial bo transferred to
Now York because of the expense which
it will inflict upon thn couutv of Dutdi

involve tho sending of commissioners
to Paris, Monte Carlo and other places

sanity, and argued the case should be
concluded under tiro jurisdiction when
it originated, Attorney Graham for
Thaw argued the easo should bo tried
in the judicial district, where the ha
hens corpus was made returnable, and
that the statement of the cost of the
proceedings had been exaggerated anil
that tho function of tho New York dis
trict attorney ended with the murder

of the court and not the Duchess county

MYSIER TO DEMONSTRATE
THEORY OF PEAR RLIGHT
RIFLK, Col., Mav 4. To the Editor:
I notice in your Daily Tribune thnt men
tioa was made of the pear blight dem
onstration to be given between Profes
sor M. It. Waie of Washington. D. C
:ind myself at Medford, Or., in the lab
r part of June. I also note that Com
missioner (arson and others hold ad
verse opinions to me. This is perfectly
minimi for them to do, as they have
never had any fact presented lo them
onlrnry to tho established views of
scientists, however, if Mr. Waite will
go to your state and meet nie and fails
"explode the Colorado man's
idea " as mentioned in vonr paper)
hey will all be mv waxmest friends.
It will bo my purpose to prove that
light and its ally is due purclv to
lituatic conditions with its attendant
lements; that the germ has nothing in
ouimon with Ihe cause ofb light, but
that it is the result nf blight and not
the cause thereof.
To prove that this is true, I expect
o produce germs in grunt abundance
upon healthy trees, which scientists
aim is utlerlv impossible for mo to
to. but if I do it wit) have nccom
lished a work more valuable to t he
n ited St a t rs u nd lo the world. Iof
us all look f.rwurd lo this meeting with
