BLUE LAWS
IN ROSEBURG
Era o! Reformers Ushered in By
Nailing the Lid on Sundays So
Tight it Can't Come Off
Sunday saw ull business in Rosobnrg
closed, evfii soda writer fountains, ico
(mam pnrlors and citmr stores. The
council onloreil tho city marshal to en
force tbo Suudny-closin law, which wus
dime with the co operation of the dis
trict attorney and constable. The Rosc
burg Review says:
"Smarting under the caustic criticism
of it administration, particularly as
regards the regulation (if the liquor
traffic, and taking it for granted from
the success of the prohibition issue at
last Monday's election that the town
desired an era of radical "reform, "
tho city council ordered the city mar
shal to enforce the state Sunday-closing
law commonly known us the "blue
law.' It ordered the immediate aboli
tion of private boxes in all restaurants
and tbo discontinuance of a bawdy
house.
What the Blue Law Is.
There was present just enough coun
cilman to constitute a quorum Micelli,
Long, Ryan, Patrick, Filter, Wortta
ingtou, Kohlhagen and Wright and
they voted unanimously on every item
of business transacted. The "blue law"
which was ordered enforced is as fol
lows: "Section 1. That section 1986, chap
ter VIII, of Bellinger & Cotton's an
notated statutes of Oregon, be and
the snnio is amended so as to read as
follows:
"Sectiou 1080. If any person shall
keep open any store, shopfi, grocery,
bowling alley, billiard room, or tip
pling house, for tho purpose of labor
or traffic, or any place of amusement,
on the first day of the week commonly
called 'Sunday or the 'Lord's day,'
such person, upon conviction thereof,
shall be punished by a fine or not
less than $ nor more than $50; pro
vided, however, that t lie above provis
ion shall not apply to theaters, the
keepers of drug stores, doctor shops, un
dertakers, livery stable keepers, butch
us and bakers; and all circumstances
ot necessity and mecy may be pleaded
iu defense, which shall be trented as
questions of fact for tho jury to de
termine, when the offense is tried by
n 'jury."
Putting On the Lid.
Councilman Micelli said:
"I don't see any reason why we
should not put this order into effect
a.t once. If tho people wnnt this so
called reform, let's give it t them
without any further delay. This coun
cil has tried hard and has succeeded in
putting the saloons of tho city on a
properly regulated basis and in every
other way consistent with common I
sense have we improved the town mor- j
ally. Notwithstanding this people from'
Tillamook, Eugene and Albany have
been imported here to tell us bow to
run our affairs and actually made most
people think we didn't know our own
business. Now, then, if we are going
to have reform, let's have the limit
and have it now. Close the town, put
on tho lid nnd show some of the cranks
who havo born harping at tho saloons
that they themselves cannot violate our
sacred laws any longer."
' ' A-men, ' drawled Councilman Fish
er, How to Fay Light Bill.
Councilman Micelli nailed the conn
cil's attention to the necessity of pro
viding some way to meet the monthly
light bills, averaging about $200. Under
the eiistiii'j charter, such expense is to
be defrayed out of the fund created
by the saloon licenses. Now that the
saloons' are to go out of business it de
volves upon the council to meet the
light bills some other way.
'Fay them out of tho general
fund," suggested City Treasurer Her
mann, who sat in the audience.
"But there is no general fund," re
plied Mayor Hoover, with mock sad
ness, hut a general laugh followed.
Upon motion to appoint n commit
tee, the mayor put the problem up to
Councilmen Long and Wright, nnd they
will probably devise some way out of
the difliculty by the time the next
meeting rolls around.

COMMUNICATIONS.
MEPFORI), Or., dune 8. To the Edi
tor: The Med ford Mail has at last made
a discovery. It has discovered a man
who has discovered that there is "lots
of water in Wasson." The name of this
20th ceutury Columbus is given as Cook
Clarence Cook, whoever that is. Was
son canyon, nccoidiug to this author
ity, has not only an nbundauce of wa
ter, but it is "cool and pure." More
over, ' the caavmi is so precipitous
aud uarrow, Mr. Cook asserts, th:.ti
the water cannot become contaminated
even it the canyon is not fenced bv
the city."
This Mr. Cook is the first witness of
record who attempts to just ifv the
purchase by the city of Wassou canyon,
and iu the ubseuceiof cross-examination
he makes a good snowing too good in
tact for a disinterested witness. It
has never before been contended, ev
by the agents of the city who bought
tho right "that the e an yon is so pre
cipitous and narrow that it cannot be
come contaminated. ' ' Hitherto it has
been admitted by all men that the wa
tor of this canyon is formed from
springs and seepage covering a large
space of eountrr and that cattle ami
hogs run nt large over it. Not more
than a month ago five men who are
among tho best citizens of this county
found ' ' cow puddles, ' which exuded
de'ided stench, even in cool weather.
seeping into Wasson creek.
Whv does not the Medtord Mail print
interviews from men like H. von del
ilellen, B. F. Adkins, Thomas Collins,
A. W. Stnrgis, Henry Vinson. S. L.
Benuett, It. H. Whitehead, V. Webster,
L. It. Kent. W. H. Bradshitw, Thomas
Nichols nnd a score more of the best
citizens of the county who know all
about this water proposition I Some
of these persons have talked with the
editor of the Mail, but no interview
was ever printed. . It is evident that
the Mnil is in favor of this deal to un
load n questionable. water right on this
city for a price four or five times high
er than its true value, else why does its
editor scrape up this practically un
known man to give a favorable inter
view? The Mail makes great pretension
of working for the good of Med ford. It
does good boosting occasionally, but
when it comes to the point where the
citv is paying $25,000 for about one
half of Mr. Hanley's water right, with
out even land enough to fonce it in,
wln his wholn ranch, all water rights
included, was listed for sale for $12,
000, the Mail sees in this a good thing.
But the $25,000 which goes to Mr.
Hanley isi a" small factor in this great
proposition. The city enn ten times
better afford to make him a present of
this amount than to expend the remain
der of the $300,000 in building a pipe
line .to tap a water supply that is both
inadequate nnd impure.

BRYAN PICKS MITCHELL
FOR RUNNING MATE
WASHINGTON, .Tune S. Tn looking
for a running mate, William .f. Bryan,
now confident that he will be nominated
at the democratic convention, has fixed
his eyes on John Mitchell, former pres
ident of the Fnited- Mine Workers of
America.
According to statements made by in
timate friends of the "Nebrnsknn today,
Bryan has practically made up hi mind
that unless one of the republican candi
dates is taken from it, it will be Mitch
ell or Johnson, providing either one
of them will accept second place. Bry
an wants this matter settled before the
convention meet.s
