LaGk of Interest Was the
Dominant Feature of the
Eledion on the Trolley
Line
The dominant featuro of today's elec
tion on tho matter of granting a fran
chise to P. J. Blakelcy for a trolley
line within the corporate limits of the
city of Med ford was lack of interest.
But little electioneering was done, the
polls for the most part, being void of
votors.
At ii o'clock this afternoon there had
boon 68 votes cast in the First ward and
fil in the Second ward, making a total
of Mil. Nor did there seem to he any
great rush at I ho polls at that time.
There was some attempt made at
eeetionoeroing soon after the polls had
opened on tho part of those opposed to
the grunting of the franchise, but the
lack of interest was seemingly too great
to be overcome and active work soon
ceased. .

BOTH CAMPAIGN FUNDS
ARE EXCEEDINGLY LOW
CHICAGO, August 31. There is an
aching void iti t lie campaign coffers
of both the republican and democratic
pa rt ies. accord i ng to pol i t ieal gossi p
today in the two big camps and the
leaders are beginning to knit their
brows over the out look, tl Both cam
paigns lit us far have been conducted
on an extremely conservative financial
basis, the managers being hopeful all
along that the conditions would improve
and money be forthcoming when the ex
ecutive committee got together and the
excitement of the contest began to
spread through the country. But some
things seems to have dampened t he
ardor of the supporters of both parties
who in former years contributed liber
ally, and there seems no prospect of
loosening of the purse strings. Further
more, (he wealthy corporations are out
of it, forbidden lo lend their aid, which
makes the prospect more sombre still.
Up to this time the democratic nation
al committee has taken in about $2.j,
000, which, added to the balance of
$00,000 left over from the Denver con
vention fund, amounts to a total of
$S"i.O00 with which to pay the expenses
of a $")00.000 campaign
The republican managers have on
hand a small but comfortable sum. con
tribute mostly by Charles P. Taft.
but it is much less than is usually in
the treasury at this stage of tlie game
and there is little more in sight.
WRIGHT BROKE AMERICAN
RECORD FOR AEROPLANE
LKMAN'S, France. August .tl. After
a wonderful flight lasting 56 minutes
over th military course at Avours to
day, Wilbur Wright of Dayton. )., was
forced to bring his aeroplane to the
ground on nccount of a slight accident.
The flight was the longest ever at
tempted in France and was one of the
most remarkable ever made. For just
four minutes less than an hour the
great hirdlike machine dipped and glid
ed gracefully through the air. under
perfect control of the aeronaut.
The machine seemed to have attained
perfection, the flight was easy and
was under such perfect control. Wright
made sudden turns and changed his nl
titude from time to time, swerving and
shifting his course with ease and grace.
Th' flight was the greatest the aero
nauts of this country ever saw and the
enthusiasm over the American is great
I er than ever before. The accident was
! of tittle conserpifnco and Wright an
nounced that he will resume his flights
thii evening
Change Made Applies Only
to Points That Are East
of the Cascade Moun
tains No change is to be mado in the
freight rate on apples to the east from
any point in the state of Oregon served
by the Southern Pacific. Such was the
positive statement made by District
Freight Agent C. A. Mulboeuf, who nr
rived in this city Monday morning on
one of his regular trips along the line.
The rate that will be in force this fall
is exact ly t he same as that of last
year, and no change is contemplated.
The rates from this section are the
same as those that apply from Califor
nia points.
The change which has been made ap
plies only from Portland and east of
the Cascade mountains. The rate in
force there has been raised to what it
formerly was before an emergency rate
was granted for a few years, so that
the large crops of that section could be
placed on t he ina rket i n t he M issouri
and M ississippi valley points in com
petition with heavy crops there. It was
the raising of the rate on this fruit to
its former standard, justified by the
pies ut conditions, ihat lias caused ap
plegrowers of this section much unea
siness of late.
The Prosent Rate.
At I lie present t iine Med foul has a
rate of $1 on apples shipped to New
York, or .."00 a car. Thin the South
ern Pacific hauls 7-l.nuo pounds to New
York the cars weighing -t-l.oiin pounds
a distance of .'tilmi miles, at about
4 mills a pound. The Southern Pacific
has always given Medford a low rate
and in many ways has encouraged (lie
industry in this place.
Mr. Malboenf furnishes some very
interesting figures in regard to the ap
ple industry in the I'nited States. The
product ion for the past III years has
averaged lin.VI-T cars. Last year Med
ford produced about 20ip cars or .oonl
per cent of the en t ire out put in t lie
I'll it I'd States. This was done with
2."hi acres of fruit in bearing. In five
years time there will be oii.ouo acres
of apples in bearing in 1 he county,
which will increase tie- output to looO
cars, or per cent nf the entire out
put.
The production tut- each year during
the past 1H years has been as follows:

The Redwood Timber Land
Near Santa Cruz Is the
Scene of Raging Forest
Fire
SANTA ClfCZ, Cal., August 31.
Over 100 acres of valuable redwood saw
timber laud has been burned over al
ready today by the fire that is raging
in Blackburn gulch. Hundreds of farm
ers are fighting to keep the fire away
from the homes. The firo is rapidly
progressing toward La Ye agpark, where
some of the big redwoods grow.
The fire was started by the burning
of a barn on the Troventhnn ranch. The
flames spread to the trees nnd dry
ground nnd grass of the forest has
been burned over the John Walsh ranch,
a part of the CrnnduH's summer resort,
the Morgan ranch and Dr. Hnhuquist s
ranch.
Fire fighters at the Crandall place
saved the buildings and the Holinquist
ranch buildings were saved only after
a hard fight.
l!ack firing from t he Doyle gulch
kept the fire out of that canyon, which
is thickly populated.
It is thought that tho fighters will be
able to save- the Lit Vega park.
HARRIMAN IN THE MARKET
FOR 7000 FREIGHT CARS
SAX FltA N'ClSCO, Cal., August 31.
llarriinan is in t he market for 7000
cars, mostly freight cars. Some of the
new iiiipTuent will be cars for con
struction purposes on new branch line.-.
There will also be loo cabooses. The
new equipment will be divided among
the Southern I'acific, I'nion Pacific,
Oregon Slmrl Dine and tho O. Ii. & N.,
llarriinan 's four big lines in the west.
This decision was reached at a con
ference at Klamath lake last Thursday,
where llarriinan is spending his vaca
tionfi ami where he is holding confer
ences with most of the leading offi
cials of the Noealhd llarriinan system.
When it is remembered that an order
for a large number of cars means or
ders anad specifications for steel, steel
castings, bar iron, malleable iron cast
ings. railroad speeitlties of various
kinds, car wheels, lumber and a large
ariety of other material, it will read
ily be appreciated that this business
affects a great many interests scattered
t hmnghout t h" count ry.
.Mr. llarriinan is representing there
is ging to be a big improvement in
business all over the country in n few
months, because of the large crops. He
is in close touch with all reports from
the agricultural districts, and from the
industries and merchants dependent
upon the fanners.
A few days ago he was in receinpt of
advices to the effect that this yearn
crop won hi amount to fully 2,fif i.OOO
bushels, as against 2."02.0oO for 1007,
and that the wheat crop would amount
to i;72.ooo,ooo bush -Is, as compared with
t;:tl. 000,001) bushels last year.
Friends who ha e recent ly talked
with llarriinan at his su miner retreat
say he express'1- the opinion that the
lip! half of ions demonstrate.! that, the
country is in a very different condition
from that following any previous finna
cial panic. During its years of prosper
ity it has accumulated actual wealth.
The enormous investments of the last
ten years have been more promptly pro
dii'tive than tho" of anv previous ie-
r i I of expansion.
