Ttofnro tho water committee irrevocably tics up
Jv. i.ya v. v- .
city in its contract for pipeline and water from the north
fork of the Little Butte or Wasson canyon the proposition
to bring water from the Little Applcgate should he thor
oughly investigated. The water committee has as yet only
given'it the most superficial consideration.
Only three things are to lie considered by the city:
quantity, quality and price.
The Little Applegate proposition is for oOO niches
against 300 indies from the north fork of the Little Butte
or from Wasson canyon. In quantity the comparison
favors the former.
In quality, the Little Applegate is equal or superior to
any water in the country. Comparison is favorable even
with Wasson canyon. The watershed is the forest reserve
covering the snow-capped peaks of the Siskiyoiis.
In price, the Little Applegate is sfctfO.OOO, including
500 inches of water, interest in conduit and ownership of
reservoir and pipeline. Even if the contractor cuts his
figures to .$210,000 for the Wasson canyon line, there is
still the water to purchase and other expenses that will
make the total considerably more than the Little Apple
gate. It is therefore due to the citizens of Medford that the
committee have its engineer
sition thoroughly, for in cost, quality and quantity, it
makes more than a favorable comparison with the proposed
svfitem.
If the Mail hasn't got an angel back of it, if ought to
hunt up one, for the patronage given it would not support
a semi-weekly, let alone a daily, and it is (loomed to an
early grave in the immense graveyard of journalistic as
pirations. There was no call for its creation, and none for
ita continued existence, except in the disordered imagina
tion of its publisher, whom it will leave a bankrupt.
PEOPLE TOE PROHIBITION,
BUT AGAINST ENFORCEMENT
PORTLAND, Or., Annual H. " Maine
never has boon a prohibit inn mUIc in
spite of the fact thr.t for (17 yen kIic
has hnd a prnhiliitory Inw mi hor stnt
utc books and for iiiomI of the time
in her constitution," wive llolmun liny,
the well known rd'nor uml writer of
stories about the Pino 'l'rop Htnto, who
has just completed a study of the much
discussed Maine lienor luw for Apple
ton's magazine. As a newsneper innn
Mr. I)av has observed the working of
the prohibitory law in Mniue for the
past 'JO yeurs, anil he asserts Hint ut no
time since tho prohibition Inw ivn
passed has it been enforcod through
out tho state. In some plnces, chiefly
in rural sections, the open sale of liquor
has been almost entirely suppressed nt
times. In cities and other communi
ties where the majority sentiment hriw
been Hgitinst the nntiliuor Inw, the
sale has been permitted openly, nl
though illegally. Maine's experience
does not prove that prohibition is either
a good thing or a btid thing for a stale,
in Mr. Day's opinion, hernuno Maine
never hns had reul prohibition.
lTntll the ndoptinn of the Hturgii law
the sole power of centreing the lnt
utes against liquor selling rested in Ih
hands of sheriffs and other loeal offi
eials, who interpreted the law nt rding
to the sentiment of their own eomuuini
tiea. Under the Hturgis law a si
commission appointed by the gove
rrith m large number of deputies nt it
command, has bad charge of the
forcement of the prohibitory measure
According to Mr liny, the legislature
ia almost certain to roienl this law at
its next session, nnd the state will
back to the old plan bv which eneh com
munity regulates the matter for itself.
Thla will mean a resumption of what
baa come to he known as the llnngi
plan.
"Under the Jlinoor plan," hiivs the
Appleton article, 'fhe sheriff and conn
ty attorney permitted a certain niimbe
of saloons and hotels to sell liquor.
Prior to tho term of court nt which fines
wore to bo 'assessed' the eounty Httor-
ner or his Agent went to tho office of
the collector of internal revenue and
drew off a list of the ne.mes of those
in tho county who were paying n spe
cial liquor retailer's tax to the l'ltited
Htatcs government. The. list wns pre
vented to the grand jury, was accepted
aa evidence nnd the parties were in
dieted and paid the regular fine and
costs amounting to 1111,

"While any man who wants to ob
