THE MAIL'S DISCOVERY.
The morning paper has discovered that there is a
water problem before the city. For months it has main
tained silence on the question, other than to censure The
Tribune for demanding publicity, and to champion the
water committee's policy of secrecy. Jt now misinforms
its readers by stating that there are three water proposi
tions the Fish Lake, the YVasson canyon and the Slinger
ranch. It ignores entirely the Applegate and Big Butte
propositions, and garbles the Fish Lake proposition to
make a favorable showing for the proposition it is really
advocating, YVasson canyon.
There is now little doubt but that if a majority of the
water committee had been left alone, it would have bound
the city to Wasson canyon, its HiO inches of water and
its supplementary ditch, and this course would have been
defended by the Mail, in spite of the editor's printed as
sertion that the Applegate proposition seemed to be "too
good to be true."
The Mail asserts that the point of diversion from the
north fork of the Little; Untie under the Fisli Lake pro
posal would have to be made on tin; llaiiley ranch, and
four miles of right of way secured from M r. llanley. En
gineer J. S. Howard, who has surveyed along the Little
Butte since iti('2 and for (Ik; past eight years annually
measured its flow, as well as that of all irrigating ditches,
states that water can be diverted a mile above the Kish
Lake canal intake at an levation of .1800 feet and a pipe
line with a gradient of ton feet per mile would reach the
reservoir at an elevation 12(H feet, above the depot, giving
a pressure of 8:2 pounds per square inch, ample for the
city, and the total cost be less to Medford by many thou
sands of dollars, than Wasson canyon.
I here are many old timers about .Medford, such as
George Nichols, Tom Collins, !. b). Miner, Gus Nichols an.
others too numerous to mention, who assert that thev have
seen 'Wasson canyon in previous years nearly dry, and that
it is absurd for the city to figure upon it as a source of sup
piy
An effort is being made to prejudice the public agains
an oi)eu conduit. I he open ditch is as good a conduit as
any other, if in the right character of country and so
wiui gradient enough, and reservoir storage enoiiuh is
provided to guard against washouts. An open conduit in
a mountainous country is not at all objectionable.
Three things beside title are necessary in select in,
water supply: The quantity must; be ample, the quality
must be good, and cost within the city s means. The qua
lty in all propositions is equally good. The quantity suf
iicient in tlie lush hake and the Slinger. and more than
sufficient in the Applegate and liig Unite. Why, then

BIO DAILY OUTPUT FROM
R. B. V. CIOAR WORKS
L. O. Coleman of (ho liuue liivt'r
Cigar fnetnry, which iiiiiiiufm-turiH (lie
famous Mi-ilfortl, It. K. V. and I t1 Mur
ca cigars, wears a liiiiy smile now
adays, for hit enterprise in this vnllev
1b prospering beyond hi mnt sanguine
hopes. lleginninK with pntetienllv noth
ing six months aga, the output Ii.ih eon
stantlv increased until at the present
timo it amounts to about Iim) boxes a
month, or an average "f -lull citr ti
day. These are all consumed here in
Medford nnd the in surrounding towns
of the valley. 1-'ollowiiij iu line with
the constantly increasing demand from
critical smokers, every up to date and
progressive cigar counter carries these
popular brands. In addition the set oral
hundred nutotnatic, aiir vending tn.-i
chines which have recently been in
stalled here are all slocked with tin
R. It. V. 10-ceut eioir. The reason tor
tho great growth in the biiNiness and
tho constant demand for these brands
of cigars As soon as they bccnine known
liea in tho excellence of the cigars tl i
selves. Every high grade cigar is nu.n
tifacturcd by hand, as all smokers know.
A private enterprise like the of
L. O. Coleman here can manulai'tiire
as cneapiy as the enormous lactone
of the trusts, ami with the added ad
vantages of not being under the in,.r
mnus expense of a huge advertising
campaign, and heavy sidling expenses.
This they save to tl innumer. A
further saving is umdc by importing
tho raw tobacco rather than the fin
ished article. The It. It. V. Cigar Works
nses the very finest tobacco obtain:!
bio and their IS cent cigar is cipial to
any smoke on Urn mnrket at any price
Tho H. R. V. lll cent cigar surpasses
any Itjpent cigar on tho market, at
tha hosts of discriminating smokers
who hny It will testify. na
T. II. MOORE WRITES
ON WATER QUESTION
Mr. I'Mitor: If I may be nllowei
ac.tco 10 piiiuiciiiiy uiivance 1111 opinion
inroiign your columns and now that out
sale opinion seems to be a little more
tolerated, I have a thought to advance,
though possibly 1 need not be alarmed,
First - I get the impression from at
tending council meetings n,.., jt ,
thought this city can be indemnified
by good and sufficient bond in protee
tion of water rights that may be pur
chased. Now this is the danger 1 see
for I know for myself that in a trans
acliou of this kind that I hero is 11,
such thing as a person, persons, or ti
company of persons furnishing such
null mini v lh.il will ever prove satis
factory. Therefore this city should get
nlml they buy, and get it at the time
01 purchase, mid I will take the posi
tion that the city need not protect me
as one or its taxpayers by looking to
any immi lor tiiluro protection, for it
will not do it in this particular ipicsliou.
And further, it is my opinion that not
l.ss than .soil to I1I1I11 inches of water
Id be available, and to be personal
on the point of one nroieet. Ihe '
anyon. 1 wish to sav that the mere
Ion or H'.il inches of water ami Hill
measured, as is my iiiub rstaiuling, with
out pressure, is not worth thn l,;i
iin'oiiifiuing II, ni its greater cost.
"Mb any other supply.
When it is possible to get the aupplv
from one source, summing up. there arc
are to sour the more feasible of
all others via Itig or Little Hull,, creek.
T. II. MOOKK.
recent issue the Cincinnati Un
published the following us its
view of the present campaign outlook
at that date:
" Xews from the west, frum til! the
country west of the Ohio river, give
ample evidence that iu every htnte
or the vast region the republican party
has divorced itself from the element
in its ranka that opposed or failed to
President Roosevelt. The bold utter
ances, Ihe loud criticisms t lit? abuse and
reviliiigs by politicians and represent
atives of buslnes interests have sudden
ly censed as against those policies, back
etl as they are by the party's candidate
the party indorsement, popular approv
al, magnificent crops, ami a renewal
of prosperity.
"It is difficult for an onlooker to
se how the democrats can gain rcpuh
liean votes in the west under these con
ilitiona. Their chaaco was thero three
mouths ago, but the republican new
alliance ib aurely now a barrier. Mr.
Itryan can offer no greater inducements
than aro offered upon the bargain
counter of the republican party in the
west. Not an important radicul rcpnb
lican lender has bolted bis party. Why
should he under such favorable eon
ditions to radical ideas f Not an im
portant conservative republican enn
leave , for all other tloors are closed
to him.
"Tt does not. look so favorable to the
democrats in the west us it did one
intuit It ugo, a fortnight ago, or fl week
ago."
Turning now to the other side of the
fuse, wo find Secretary Onrfieltl quoted
in the New York Tribune (Rep.) as
admitting that hard work will have to
be done to save Colorado from the dem
ocrats, and thnt Montana iH doubtful
The New York Sun which is supporting
the republican ticket reports that in
Indiana and Wisconsin "conditions look
bad for the Taft candidacy," and many
papers express the opinion that the
bitter fight within the ranks of the
republican party iu West Virginia may
also turn that state over to the detu
ne nils.
In reply to the foregoing from the
F.iiijiiircr I lit, Omaha World-Herald sums
up the campaign conditions very differ
ently. We quote:
"Our Ciiicinniiti contemporary never
blundered into a sadder mistiike. It.
has i-i'iiehed a conclusion directly con
trary to fact.
"The plain truth, as it is known to
every reasonably close observer of
political conditions in the west, is that
Mr. Itryan 's caiitliilncy is today much
stronger than it was tho week of his
nomination, and is growing stronger
every day.
"Another plain truth, a eorrollary
or 1 no nrsl, is that the rati leal, pro
grossivo republicans of the west are
today more kindly inclined to Mr.
Bryan, ami iu larger numbers than it
was thought possible they would be
when 4 Roosevelt won' at Chicago and
Taft was placed ill iioininntitm.
"Tho reasons are not far to sek,
nor difficult to detect when found.
I. President Itoosevolt hns instilled
into western republicans a profound
dislike for' predatory wealth' and en
mity for the great industrial trusts.
These Hllllie republicans now see every
leader of predatory wealth, and all the
Irusl influence in the country lined up
solidly back of Taft.
' ' - They know more about School
craft Sherman. Tuffs running male,
now than thev did th" day of his Horn
illation.
'.I. I hey set men like Sheldon,
lloise I 'en rose, Fredrick W. I'pham, and
their like iu charge of the financing of
the republican campaign. They know
what Mint means; where the republican
funds are to come from. Their know!
edge is mailt, the surer by the refusal
of Mr. Taft ami his managers to prom
ise 10 tlisclose, liotore election,, the
sour tf their campaign funds.
" I. They noted, with keenest in
terest, that the railroads made reduced
rates and rati numerous excursions to
the Taft notification, and exacted full
rates nnd did evervthini' in their newer
to discourage the attendance at the
Mrvnti notification.
"0. Their comiueudat ion has been
won by Mr. Hrynn's untiialifietl pledge
that, if be is elected, ho will call im
mediately a special session of Congress
to net on the popular election of sena
tors and the oilier an railed 'La Follette
planks' of the Denver platform, which
ere brutally turned down nt Chicago.
"ii. The plunk of the Denver plat
term which declares for a guaranty of
bank deposits anneals to them e'verv
lav with increasing force.
7. Senator La Foil, -He has been ad
Iressing Chautnutiu.i assemblies dailv
throughout the west since the conven
ions, speaking to immense audiences;
11 every speech he has lauded llrvun
silent as to Taft, ami held repub
lican senators and congressmen up to
scorn anil detestation
Senator La Follette is but one
of the instrumentalities throueh which
stem republicans have been aroused
o a while heat of anger over the record
made by the last session of congress
strongly republican in both its branches.
Western republicans are bv n
irfe majority for tariff reform and the
and the more thev ntii.lv
what was true in his two former cam '
paignil. The republicans are distinct
ly on the defensive. They cannot beat
beatg? charge. They have nothing with
whivti to frighten or delude the Voters,
M they Ud iu and Their
campaign, to date consists in iterating
and reiterating the idea that Taft is as
good a Bryan man us Bryan is bimaeelf.
That kind of a fight isn't winning und
cuu 't win. The petiole, when it comes
to such a choice, prefer the original und
genuine to the second hand imitation
article. "
