SENTIMENT
FOR V
UNIVERSAL
Thurston Daniels, Former
Lieutenant Governor of
Washington, Tells of the
Denver Convention
Thurston Daniels of Spokane, for
mer lieutenant governor of Washington,
Bon of a former governor of Idaho and
father of T. E. Daniels, the Med ford
clothier, stopped over Thursday to visit
bis son on his return from the Denver
convention.
' ' It was a most remark bio gather
inn," states Mr. Daniels. "It was all
Bryan from the start, and there never
was so much enthusiasm for anyone in
a convention before. The demonstration
following the mention of Bryan by Sen
ator Gore was most remarkable. It
was pandemonium let loose and alto
gether beyond description.
James Great Orator.
"flore is a .ne orator, but I think
the best speech of the convention was
that of Ollie James, the Keutucky con
gressman, who nomiunted Bryan. James
is immense. He is about six feet six
inches high and three feet broad, a mag
nificent physique, with a voice that
could bo heard easily throughout the
immense hall.
M After the convention I traveled
through the east extensively, as well
as on the coast. There is a regular
Bryan wave sweeping the country. 1
don't want to appear too sanguine, but
1 believe Bryan's chances of election
are excellent.
Will Carry California.
" It h ink Bryan will carry California
and Idaho and perhaps Wnshingtou.
He will carry Indiana antlo it need sur
prise no one if he sweeps the middle
west, for union labor is for Bryan
almost to a man. The country every
where is enthusiastic for Bryan, while
Tnft is greeted with apathy."
Mr. Daniels for 20 years ran news
papers, .for 12 years in Vancouver,
Wash., but retired some years ago to
enter the land business, platting and
aelling an addition to Spokaue.
NEED MANY
FIRE STATIONS
At Wednesday evening's council meet
ing Edgar Hafer called attention to
the lack of fire stations in Med ford and
suggested hat something be done at
once, before a conflagration Btarts. He
deserihed the Portland fire of Tuesday
evening, which he witnessed, and stat
ed that only fortunate conditions and
blank brick walls saved the entire city
from going. As it was, four blocka were
swept. Jf a fire started once, said Mr.
Hafer, Medford would probably suffer
severe loss on account of the distance
of residence localities from the fire sta
tion. He suggested the building of from
three to four sheds or temparory struc
tures in various parts of the city, each
to be equipped with hone and chemicals.
Action was postponed until next week
when the firemen will be osked to be
present to give information.
Sewer petitions for Oakdale avenue
also caused considerable discussiun and
the city engineer will be asked to re
port Tuesday evening.
JOSEPHINE COUNTY FISHERMEN
GET ALL THE FISH
GRANTS PASS, Or., July 30. The
run of salmon in Rogue river has been
quite- good of lale and daily shipments
of from 101-0 to 20)0 pounds of fish in
ice have been made to Portland and
San Francisco markets by the Rogue
River Fishermen's union. This organ
ization embraces all the fishermen in
and about Grants Pass and through a
manager does its own shipping. The
salmon industry of this section of Rogue
river is quite important, for there is
hipped from Giants Pass from $25,000
to Jin.noo worth of fish each year.
Trout fishing has been very fine this
season in both Rogue river and its
mountain hrook tributaries, and catches
of IW to 100 fifh are frequently made
by sportsmen.
Deer are more pbntifnl this senson
than for years past. A few years ago
the deer were almost exterminated from
the hills of sonthei . Oregon by deer
skinnerC nun who hunted deer for the
hides only, but since several of this
class of vandals were given long terms
of imprisonment and their ruthless
slaughtering stopped, the deer have rap
idly increased.
TO SUPPLY
CITY FROM
APPLEGATE
Blakeley Makes Proposi
tion to Council-Will In
clude Filtering Plant if
It is Desired
A special meeting of the city coun
cil was held Wednesday evening to en
tertain a proposal for 500 miners' inches
of Little Applegato water from the
Slorliug Mining company. The propo
sal was presented by J. C. Blakeley of
Roseburg and na explnin-ed by him
was merely in a hastily prepared form
and did not enter into details. If the
water committee would seriously en
tertain the proposition, he would go into
details and specifications, which would
be agreed upon later, by the city's en
gineer and his own representative. He
agreed to install a filtering plnnt if de
sired, and put in any kind of pipe to
the city limits from the reservoir abovo
Jacksonville that the city might desig
nate. Ho stated there would bo 21
miles ot open ditch and a mile and a
half tunnel from the Little Applegate.
The pipeline, reservoir and filtering
plant is to be deeded to the city for
maintenance
Br. Blakeley agreed to give satisfac
tory bond to maintain the ditch, and
to include a clause whereby the ditch
would revert to the city if not satis-
actorily maintained, nnd will agree to
turn it over to the city nuv way as
soon as the company's placer ground
was exhausted. The proposal, which
was referred to the water committee,
reads sa follows:
MEDFORD, Or., July 20. To the
Honorable City Council of the City of
Medford, Or. Gentlemen: On behalf of
myself and associates, I desire to sub
mit to your honorable body a proposi
tion for tho furnishing of water to
vour city. The puritv and quality of
the water supplied will be equal to that
of any city in the state, as the supply
will come from the snow-capped peaks
of the Siskiyou range, nnd in its course
will traverse a territory where nothing
of an impure nature can cause it to
deteriorate from its original purity. We
respectfully ask that a thorough inves
tigation be made, both as to the qual
ify of the water which we offer, as well
as the Quantity that, we will bo able to
furnish.
Our proposition, briefly stated, is to
deiiv-r to the city of Medford at its
city ln.iitK a perpetual supply of water
such as the city now or hereafter may
need or require for the use of its in
habitants nnd for municipal use, up to
500 inches. This company will also con
struct a large aad sufficient reservoir
system, to hold and store sufficient wa
ter to meet the city s requirements at
any time in ense of a break in tho line,
or other accident.
in consideration of this water supply,
the city is to pay us the sum of two
hundred and fifty thousand dollars, al
though this sum need not nil bo in cash,
as, in the event that the city should
find it more advantageous, arrange
ments could be made for the payment
of a part of this sum in the city's water
bonds.
This supply of water will insure to
the city, under our plan, abundant wa
ter for its present use and for alt uturc
time, no matter how great its growth
may be, and the pressure will be such
as the etiy shall designate.
Mr. Heard, manager of the Sterling
Mining company, who is thoroughly fa
miliar with our plans, will be ready at
any time to go into details regarding
our proposition, and to furnish to the
city or its engineers any and all data
required.
Regarding the purity of the water,
we ask that when your committee or
your engineers inspect the source of
this supply, they, in company with our
own engineer, tnke from the st renin
sufficient water and sen! the same in
proper jars and send the same, at our
expense to the Oregon agricultural col
lege or some other recognized headquar
ters for analysis, so that the purity of
the water can be ascertained and accu
rately established to the satisfaction of
nil.
Trusting t tint your honorable body
will give this proposition the most
searching nnd rigid investigation, to
be made both by your own city engineer
and any other capable engineer whom
you may see fit to employ, and that
your water committee, appointed by the
city council, will themselves visit and
inspect the source and general condi
tions Pi' this water right, and will also
take into acocunt the fact that all mon
eys expended in constructing this im
mense water system will he f$ent In
your own locality, 1 am, very respect
fully yours,

ASK FRANCHISE FOR
TROLLEY LINE UPON
STREETS OF CITY
Preliminary Move for Iuterurbau Car
line to Connect Cities of Rogue River
Valley Application Made by F. J.
Blakeley for Willamette Concern.
Fred J. Blakeley Weduesday night
applied to the city council for an. elec
tric streetcar franchise, to run upon j
such streets as designated by the coun
cil. ' Mr. Hiakcley explained his plans,
which woro to run a trolley line west
from Bear creek to Jacksonville, and
ones north and south, which would be
a connecting link between Ashland and
Contral Point. Ho favored Seventh
street and either C or Rivorside ave
nue. He promised to begin work at
once, laying rails nhoad of pavement
on Seventh if granted tho franchise,
and to have the lino ia regular opera
tion within a year. Otherwise the
franchise- would be forfeited. The mat
ter was referred to the street commit
tee, consisting of Messrs. Merrick,
Trowbridge and Ohvell, who spent the
day with Mr. Blakeley going over the
streets to bo covered. It was agreed
that in addition to the main line north
and south, Mr. Blakeley would bo re
quired to construct a loop about the
city to connect the various schoolhouses.
Aproximately the line wilt bo run down
Riverside to tho North school, thence
west to J street, down J past of the
West Side school to one of the streets
near the new Catholic school, thence
east to Riverside.
The franchise will be asked fur Sev
enth street and probably Riverside ave
nue, though this will be determined this
afternoon.
A special election will be necessary
for the granting of the franchise, which
will be modified from the original ap
plication to meet tho council's views,
with the objectionable features re
moved. EVEN MONEY OFFERED

CARS
TABLE GRAPES
Shipments From California
Larger This Year Than
Ever-Season Favorable
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., July 30.
As tho season for shipping grapes is
not far off, the California promotion
committee today issued the following
statement in regard to tho prospects for
the 1008 crop, indicating tho general
situation throughout California:
Tho shipment of tnble grapes from
California during the season of 1907
was 3400 cars, which was an Increase
of something over 1400 cars, over any
previous year. For tho season of 1908
(he shipments will be equal to tho above
figures and probably a little larger.
The season thus far has beon partic
ularly favorable for the growing of
sproing grapes. There is no milldew
and other defect and both tho refrigera
tor and transportation servico is bettor
than has been for seven or eight years,
so that the growers are disposed to
ship, believing that their product will
be landed iu the eastern markets in
strictly first clnss condition.
The growers, too, are appreciating
this, and value necessity of strictly
first-class pack, and In several large
grape growing districts committees of
growers have been selected to sen that
ao milldew or otherwise unfit grapes
are put in crates for shipment, nnd they
are also to arrange for uniformity in tho
packing of the output. Theso things
will be conducive to a larger and bet
ter output of grapes and even wider
distribution lhau has ever been hnd be
fore. ARCHBISHOP IRELAND

My sympathy is with tho Polish

NEBRASKA!!
ON HEARST'S
PLATFORM
Number of Planks Similar
to Those of Democratic
Party-Nothing For La
bor, Though
FA1RVIEW, Lincoln, Neb., July 30.
There were no visitors at Fairview
this morning. - Bryan was working early
on his analysis of tho platform of the
independence party. He dictated the
following statement today:
'Tho platform of the independence
party contains a number of planks
identical or substantially as some of the
planus of the democratic platform. It
demands the election of senators by a
popular vote, as the democratic does.
Tho tariff plank is on the Bame lines
as ours. The plank relative to trusts,
while opposing private monopoly, is not
so specific as ours Tho railroad plank
does not differ from tho plan in the
ilemocratic platform on the subject. The
plnnk on Asiatic immigration is similar
to the plank on that subject in the dem
ocratic platform. Tho labor plank is
also nliko. "
Bryan pointed out other similarities
in tho two platforms. In discussing
what ho terms tho shortcomings of the
independence party pint fornix the dem
ocratic candidate said:
Tho platform of tho independence
party does not, howovor, advocate the
establishment of a department of labor;
it does not opposo imperialism and its
plank with reference to the publicity
of campaign funds is not nearly so
strong as ours.
'Tho question that much confront
every member of tho independence par
ty is 'will lie assist in the defeat of
tho democratic party?' which stands for
so much that he favors, morely because
he cannot get all that he would likef
Either democratic or republican party
must wiu.
'Tho question is not whether one
can get all tho reform that he wants,
but how he can got tho most reform."
