It is hoped that the water committee will leave its first

lull-, t usftuji cainon, King cimiign lo llioroilglliy UlVCSIl
gate me proposition made by the fsterJiiig ..Mining com
pany to supply water from the Little Applogatc.
If the water is there in the ipiantity and quality
claimed and can lie delivered in a satisfactory manner and
satisfactory bond secured, there is no good reason why the
city should pay $2),i): for from J 50 to 175 inches in
Wasson canyon ($247,05:3 for pipeline, $25,000 for Wasson
canyon water rights, $!)()0 for fencing intake and f'SOOO
for rights of way), when 500 inches of equally as good
water can be obtained for 2:50,000, or 15,000 less.
Furthermore, the 500 inches secured will enable the
city to sell water to both Jacksonville and Central Point,
besides for irrigation purposes. Jacksonville will probably
bond for $50,000 for an adequate supply, and so will Cen
tral Point. While the city cannot issue bonds to supply
other places, after the water is secured it can be sold,
even it necessary to pass a special act of the legislature
for the purpose. The sale of this water will eventually
reduce the cost of the system to Medford by ,$100,000 to
!fl;jU,WUO ironi the .2:J0,000 first cost.
One thing is certain, the present bond issue is not suf
ficient to secure the water from Wasson canvmi. .miin.lo

inontod by other supply, as it will have to he, and more
bonds cannot he issued. The bond buyers cannot object as
long as tne system is a gravity system.

-2 years, fell tivm a freight tram near
Lure Saturday bight. His kit arm was !
nearly cut off, only bunging by a small j
piece of flesh ou the under bide. His
shouldt-r was baldly bruised, and his '
head cut iu many places. Xutwithstand- J
nitf this, he walked a mile and a half
after the ut-cidi-iit, when another
freight train 'following picked him up
and brought him here, where he was
given medical attention. He luiit been
sent to the county hospital.
After arriving here be gave another,
exhibitiiia of m-rve and sand. It is the
custom of the train crew to stop at
the water tank nbovo town. Tin was
done Saturday morning, instead of
taking the unfortunate man on to the
depot, where be could receive imiim.t
attention. He got down from the train,
and takiitL' the (lamline left nrm in
his right hand walked the Ifoo yards
unassisted. The netinn of the crew was
much criticized.

The following mass of misinformation is supplied edi
torially by the Eugene .Register under the caption ".Med
ford 's Experience : "
"The busy, thriving city of JUedford has a gravity sys
tem, but the fatal mistake was made of taking water'from
a small, inadequate stream, with the result that the creek
w comparatively dry, the city is without fire protection
and now at a big expense the city is compelled to hunt a
Jiew source ol supply.
"The Albany Herald u notes Mrs. I) All,... i...i
ford, who is visiting Albany friends, and from information
received from her. speaks of the situation in her home town
us iouows:
" 'Medford has voted bonds for the establishing of a
thorough water plant, and they of the thriving cit v are do
ing their utmost to complete the same. ' "
" 'At this time they see the neeessitv of a permanent
water supply. They are without this important factor at
present. Deer creek is dry, and as that was the onlv source
tor water, it leaves Medford in a rather difficult posi
tion. " 1
