STILL NEW
PROPOSALS
FOR WATER
Findley Has 10,000 Inch
Proposition-Ray to Sub
mit Rogue River Propo
sal Again-Cut-off Pipe
Water is the subject of universal
discussion in Hertford ami a new pro
ject is born every few hours. Excited
groups debate the subject on the cor
ners and gravely pass upon the merits
of propositions they know nothing
about, condemning or lauding as suits
their fancy, just as if they knew all
about them.
II. T. Findlay is the latest to pro
sent a proposition. He believes iu do
ing business on a wholesale basis and
wants lo sell the city 10,000 inches
from the Big Applcgate for $50,000,
though just where the point of diversion
is, he refuses to reveal except to the
water committee.
Wellborn Beeson of Talent states that
the city can go two or three miles in
the Little Applegate above the point
of proposed diversion named under the
Sterling Mining company proposition
and take out more than sufficient wa
ter to supply the city and reach Mod
ford by a pipe 17 or IS miles in length
through the Wagner pap, tints avoiding
ditch construction.
B. II. Harris of the Butte Creek
Lumber company, is still figuring on
reducing his estimate and constructing
a flume from Butte Falls to Hertford,
bringing in Big Butte water.
W. T. Vawter is figuring on the cost
of an open ditch for the same water.
II. Zach Cameron and Miles Oantrall
headed ad elegation from the Little Ap
plegate valley Saturday, who were loud
and vehement in their protests against
even consideration of the Sterling prop
osition. "We own the Farmers' ditch,"
states Mr. Cameron, "and own water
rights for 000 inches. We are only se
curing .'100 now, and using even the
Sterling ditch water. We will defend
our rightsour rights in the courts. Our
ditch was-built ten years before the
Sterling mine ditch, and we will defend
our rights against all claimants."
Arthur Kleinhammer, who leases tho
('antral! place, states that the rights
on that place are prior to those of the
Sterling compnny to 250 inches of wa
ter, and that whenever water is de
manded, it is furnished on request, by
the Sterling company.
Dr, C. C. Hay is preparing to make a
new pumping proposition to the city,
which he claims will save from $100,000
to $150,000 to the city over any propo
sitnon now being considered.
BUSY TIME PACKING
ASHLAND'S FINE PEACHES
Scenes are lively about the local
fruit packing concerns, as they are in
t he m id st of t he busy peach season.
Early Crawfoids are being handled ex
tensively, and ere bng come the late
Crawfords and Muitrs, says the Ash
land Tidings.
At the plant of the Ashland Fruit
and Produce association several car lots
have already been shipped, mostly
peaches, along with some pears and
plums. Virtually all of these shipments
go north. From 1000 t 1200 boxes con
stitute a carload, and help and mate
rial are on the ground to nccommodnte
the rush. Over 20 hands are now em
ploved in and about the association 's
premises. In Addition to the output at
the pant it -elf. Manager Lininger states
that a larg. amount is brought in al
ready packed by patrons of the con
cern. This simplifies matters as in this
instance the fruit is ready for ship
ment as soon as it passes inspection,
which is rigid, as everything shipped by
the association is of high grade and per
fect condition. The new evaporator
is now in working order nnd is being
used at present for the dried peach
output, which is daily increasing. A
small amount of sweet corn has also
been dried, but as "yet for experimen
tal purposes only. Charles Alford at
tends to the ev:iHirating process, and
the dryer is kept in commission 24
hours per day. being taxed to its ut
most capacity in order to keep up with
requirements.

C. Benjamin, n prominent business man
of Aberdeen, is dead today following
the extraction of one of his tech. For

FIND ABUNDANCE OF
WATER AT HEAD OF
UTILE APPLEGATE
Inspection Party Visits Proposed Source of
Supply Under Sterling Mine Proposition
What Was Seen-Stream on Ideal Moun
tain Brook-Land Under Irrigation
Mayor Roddy, Councilmeu Eifort,
Trowbridge and Wortman, former Coun
cilman Osenbrugge, Kditors Bliton and
Putnam were taken to the headwaters
of Little Applegato Friday by Messrs.
Blakeley and Heard of the Sterling
Mining company nnd shown tho source
of supply for tho water system they
propose to construct for the city. The
upper Applegato was found to be n
picturesque stream, an ideal mountain
brook, traversing a wooded canyon with
precipitous sides. A total of 590 inches,
as measured by the city's engineer, was
found available iu this dry est of dry
years and the sparking water is of the
purest.
The trip was made in automobiles to
Buncom, from thence by wagon to the
caretaker's cabin, near the head of the
Sterling mine ditch, and from theuce
to tho point of intake and up the can
yon on foot. At the point of diversion
between 400 and 500 inches of wnter
are turned into the Sterling ditch, near
ly all from the Little Applegate. This
flow can be supplemented by from 200
to 300 inches from Cilade fork, a branch
of the Little Applegate, which it is
proposed to divert into the new conduit.
From Ruuh up the road follows the
Little Applegate. Tho hillsides are
lined with dry ditches, built for placer
mining, most of which are now aban
doned. Many of the gulches and
stretches along the hillsides have been
washed and sluiced and great piles of
cobblestones show the work of the
gold seeker. Nearly all of the valley
carries color nnd moat of it is move
valuable for mining thnn for ngriculture
The hillsides are covered with scrub
timber, valuable only as fuel.
Amount Under Irrigation.
At a guess, 1000 acres are in alfalfa
under irrigation in this valley above
Ruch, nnd nowhere does alfalfa look
finer. To irrigate this 1000 acres, a
ditch takes the water out of the Little
Applegate below its junction with Ster
ling creek at Buncom. Its capacity is
claimed to be 000 inches, and more
water is now wasted than used.
Most of the land is owned and farm
ed by the several Cameron nnd Can
trail families, who secured donation
claims over 40 years ago and have since
been in continuous possession, nnd claim
that their water rights would be jeop
ardized if the water above was sold to
tho city.
Climate, Bedrock and Water.
"Our land would be useless without
water," said Robt. Cameron, whose ap
ples were sampled by the excursionists.
"We couldn't raise anything. All we
have is climate, bedrock and water, and
to take our water will make it impossi
ble for us to farm. We have used it
for over 40 years and it belongs to us."
This legal end of the matter is up to
the lawyers, but the Sterling company
guarantee the wnter sold to the city,
and to a lavnian it looks as if the nat
HUNTERS HAVE POOR LUCK
ON THE KLAMATH LAKES
KLAMATH FALLS, Or., Sept. 5.
Hunters returning from their first day's
sport after the ducks show evidence
of having been very successful. They
state, however, that it is more work
getting the ducks than in previous
years. This is not on account of the
lack of game, for there are millions
of ducks along the rivers and lakes, but
on account of the lack of water.
The best posted hunters were sur
prised in going to the best duck ponds
to find them completely dried up. Near
ly all the shooting yesterday was done
on the open water, and it is predicted
that unless there are rains soon the duck
hunting will be difficult sport. The
ducks will soon be scared from the open
water and will have to go so far into
the swamps to reach protected water
that ther will be inaccessible.
CHTNA THANKFUL FOR
RELEASE FROM INDEMNITY
VAN( OCVER. B. C, Hpt. 5. News
was brought today by the liner Em
press of India that Tang Saho Yi, the
Chinese official who will stnrt fr
Washington in November to tender
thanks for the American government's
generosity in releasing China from the
nnpaid balance of the Boxer indemnity
is reported from Peking to be also
commissioned to arrange for a loan
of f-n.fKvri.rwtn from America for the de
velopment of Manchurian resources by
Americans to counteract the activity of
Japan in Manchuria.
ural flow of Littlo Applegato below
tho proposed point of diversion might
be sufficient to arrigato all the land
under cultivation iu the valley, for the
stream constantly increases in volume
as it nears Ruch from the Sterling ditch
intake. At any rate, this same water
in the Rogue River valley will increase
production tens of thousands of dollurs
annually, where it increases it thou
sands now in the Little Applegnte val
ley. Valley Grows Narrower.
Above Buncom the valley narrows,
tho farms grow few in number and the
verdant alfalfa fields diminish materi
ally in acreage. Soon the winding road
becomes little moro than a trail, dodg
ing trees and boulders, full of sharp
turns and angles, while the song of the
brook makes music in the air:
"I slip, I slide,
I leap, I glide,
To join tho brimming river,
For men may come
And men may go,
But I go on forever."
Tho foliage through which gaily
slants the summer sun, grows thicker
as tho stream is ascended. After cross
ing the rivulet for the twenty-eighth
time, the road leaves tho wooded bot
tom anil ascends the hill to the ditch
and thence to tho cabin of the ditch
walker, a distance by road of about
25 miles from Medford, by air line of
perhaps 15. Tho elevation as shown
by the aerometer is 3140 feet above
sea level.
Aftor a much enjoyed luncheor., the
party followed the ditch to its intake
and some of tho committee went up the
canyon and. looked at Glade fork,
which to tho eyo carries nearly as much
water ns Littlo Applegato proper. Tt
is a mile nnd nn eighth from the head
of Sterling ditch to the proposed point
of diversion.
Water Is There Alright.
The wnter shed consists of steep hills
largely covered wil h timber, though
here and there n bald k noil rears its
barren crest. Most of the watershed
lies in the Ashland forest reserve nnd
in ordinary years the stream is fed con
tinuously by tho melting snows of the
high peaks of tho Siskiyons.
There is no doubt in the minds of the
visitors of the quality and quantity of
water. The engineering problem,- and
the legal phases nro for others to pass
upon. . But if satisfactory agreements
are reached, and the Little Applegate
chosen ns a source of supply, Medford
may be proud of its water syr.tom.
Some of the party of inspection will
visit Wasson canyon nrd other pro
posed sources of supply. The editor
of the Tribune intends to see each
source proposed nnd write of what ho
sees for Tribune readers.
RAWHIDE, NEV., IS ENTIRELY
DESTROYED BY FIRE
RENO, Nov., Sept. 5. Reports from
Rawhide say that the entire town it
doomed to destruction iu a fire which
started at Ksmeralda nnd Main streets
at 9 o 'clock this morning. The fire
spread rapidly and soon all coininuni
cation was cut off. As the time of
the last message the bank, postoffice
nnd two drug stores had been destroyed
There is no hojie whatever of stopping
the fire, as there is no water supply
with which to fight it.
The whole place, which was a typical
mining camp town, made up of frame
buildings, probably will be wiped out
unless dvnnmite is used successfully.
The fire started in a lodging house
over a drug store.
WARDE N MADE A
TRUSTY OF ORCHARD
BOISE, Idaho, Sept. 5. Members of

because Warden Whitney has seen fit
to make a trusty of Harry Orchard,
nnd have given strict orders to that of
ficial to treat the slayer of former
Governor Steunenberg the same ns oth
er prisoners serving a life term.
Complaint was made to the board that
as soon as Orchard's death sentence
was commuted to life the warden took
him under his charge as a trusty and
that the prisoner was not compelled to
wear either the regular prison garb
nr a number.
