TITE MEDFORD DAILY TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON', FRTDAY. JTTLY 17, 1908. imu aoui inin 1.11 naiiLHiiu POWER PLANT Gpite City Concern Files Articles o! Incpjpprfltlon to Give Light and Powe; Tb (irauito City l4iht aoil Pownr company has been incorporated at Ash land, capitalized at $100,000, in shares of $20 each, by K. K. Anderson. C. It. Hosley, 0. V. Burroii, Deoi-go W. Owen and I. N. Shook of Ashland. The oh joqis of the corporation are to develop anjj furnish light and power to Jack son, county consumers, The incorporator own over three- quarters of u mile, of Ashland ereek, imemdiately above the intake of the lower water system, and ' cd iiwiiltmt witli such owuership have the riparian right to use all the water of the creek. provided it is returned to tlm channel above the city water works. Thev also own the Anderson ditch and water right, Ihunti giving them absolute con trol of the water, subject only to what rights the city has for the lower intake of Vhe water system. The amount of water available with the fall obtainable on the property will generate sufficient power to furnish the tity of Ashland with all the light used by tho municipality for street lighting and for individual use at the lowest stage of water, and for nine or ten months in the year furnish hundreds of hortfe power besides. The estimated cost of installing the plant and wiring the town is from $50, 000 to $75,000, owing to whether the pole or coudutt system is used, and the eapital stock of the eoiupaitv is fixed at $100,000. The articles of incorporation are broard enough so that a local street ear line may bo established, should the stockholders think best, at any time in tho future. BUTTE FALLS ITEMS. Frank Lewis aud family of Kagle Point are visiting Mrs. Anna Hccka thorn, and while here will endeavor to sell some of the property belonging to. the estate. J. H. Miller had a narrow escape late y from serious injury. They were standing on the banks of Big Hulte fishing aud without warning a large fir tree fell and struck within a few foot of them, scattering dirt, limbs and boughs over and near them and strik ing the ground with a thud that made the earth tremble. It was a very nar row call. William Uurieh of Kagle Point is making a visit to the Falls. The new schoolhouse is under con structiou aitd supplies of lime, cement ana other necessary materials are ar riving daily from Medford. Attorney Pentz is in his office at the Falls looking after matters of busi 1 ness for our townsmen. There was an enthusiastic meeting of the Conrmereial club held Tuesday night, at which the question of a per niauent supply of water for the town was considered ami a committee ap point ed on survey and right of way. Butte Falls hae a splendid source, from which to provide abundant pun spring water, and it was deemed of vital im portunce that immediate steps be taken to secure this water, and the committee will at once arrange mutters. Tlie in corporation of the town, the building and repair of roads and many other questions weru considered aud acted upon, after which a musical and literary entertainment was given by Misses Ma honey, Milter and Uuprev and an ex cellent paper rend by Mr. Baker. A party from Ashland aud Phoenix. chaperoned by Mr. Roldey, drove into town Tuesday and remained over night and the next morning left for the hills. Much satisfaction is expressed that the parties who have been writing let ters to the land department against the homesteaders have been turned down und their reports fouud malicious. It has done much to soften the feelings of these worthy homesteaders, and i Uncle Kam will find that a kindly con sideration of the homesteaders will tend to a more friendly relation towards the government. Messrs. UeorgH und Jeffries who have with their families been visiting in the valley, have returned to their home steads. Frank Sutherland, who Iiub been quite sick, is able to be up and take gentle exercise. C P. Briggs has purchased a resi dence lot and expects lo immediately utilize the lot.

July Id Coloud Wil liam H. Aolabird, who was a visitor here a few days ago, while ea route fo Pelicau Bay, spoke enthusiastically nr tne possibilities of the soil aud cli mate of the whole of Butte Creek val ley, for which large territory Dorris is the natural business and shipping cen ter, t'olouel Holabird has carefully stud ied the conditions here and in the Klamath project district aud speaks from the standpoint of one who knows. One of his suggest ions is that the land owners should get together and ' sink wells aud establish a system of pump ing plants to supply water for irriga Hon purpases in Hutu- Valley, power for which (mmping plants ina be so cured shortly from the uew electric plant at .knny eroek if wanted. . Water is to be fouud withiu a very few feet of the surface of the grouud anywhere in the valley, aud in unlim ited quantity, so that every acre of land in the valley ran easily be brought under, irrigation. With water to use when needed, there is no eud to the variety and-qnantity of crops that can be produced here. RUSH ROAD BUILDING FOB HARRIMA-N'S BENEFIT Dorris is soon to lose the distiuctioii of being the termiuu. of the California Northeastern. Laying of steel across the hill from Onrris has already start ed aud withiu a few days the line will be completed to Cnlor and it is thought that by the end of this month the ter minus of the road will be at Worden, which is but a short distance from the edge of the marsh. The grade across the tunnel hill has been completed and the steel gang is alreadv past the ton of the hill where the deep cut was made, says tho Klamath Falls Herald. It is understood that the Harrimau party will arrive here about the first of August, and the extension of the road is made at this time no that the party will avoid as much of the stage ride us possible. As soon us the road is built to Worden those, who claim lo know stale that a temporary ter minus will he established at that place until the road can be completed to the navigable water. - ' BRILLIANT DRAMATIC CRITIC PASSES AWAY K:ice Whitney, aged IS years, is dond ut Salt Lake of neuritis.

RUSSIAN SPIES IN AMERICA Czar Plans a Systematic Campaln of Misrepre sentation in America -NFW YORK, July Hi. Forty two Russian secret servii-e agents are on their way to Ajuorica today, where they will spend several mouths in a campaign of misrepresent at ioa of conditions in the czar's domaius, according to infor mation received by Dr. Paul Kapluu, chairman of the Pusslau revolutionists u Xew York. Among the spies sent to the United States are 'JO brilliant orators, who will deliver courses of lectures calculated to deceive the American people into believing conditions in Russia much bet ter than they actually are. Forces have also been sent to the principal countries of Europe, where similar steps will be tukea. Knowledge of the movements of ,Rus siau secret agents reached tho revolu jionists society here through the ehief of the Russian bureau who recent Iv deserted the service of the czar aud joined the rebels. .When he abandoned his important post at Si. Petersburg he took all his books and records with him and placed I hem in the hands of his new friends. These will prove invalua hie to the rebels, as they contain des criptions of every member of the Rus sian secret police. The ollicial who deserted (he ezar for the rebels knows nverv member of the secret police, having hired each one personally. While his identity is con- ealed by Or. Kaplan, it is understood that his uame is known throughout the world. KLAMATH FALLS BREWER SUING FOR A DIVORCE Asserting that his modesty was shock d bv the pictures that his wife exhib ited to him, showing her in scant attire, Autoiie Cast el. a brewery man of Klam- ith Falls, is fighting his wife's suit for divorce in the Multnomah circuit ourt. The pure art in the pictures ippnreutlv failed to impress him so much as the fact that masculine forms were also visible in the pictures. Castel also alleges that his wife has for several years been troubled with a great unrest that has caused her to travel from city to city at his expense, leaving him isolated and nun tin lit Klamath Falls.
