JAPS PLANNING
ROYALWELCOME
Business Men From Coast
Cities Will Be Heartily;
Greeted in Japan
TOKIO, Japan, Sept. 15. The com
mitteo which will have chargo of the
welcome to be extended to tho Pacific
coast business men who will come bore
about October 10, today decided to ar
range excursions by which tho visitors
will bo conducted as far north
Nikko and as far west as Miyujima.
This will givo tho Americans an ex
cellent opportunity to view all the more
important features and. will give them
a 'clear insight into tho life of Japan
Kach chamber of commerce that joined
in tho invitation is working individ
ually as well as in conjunction with
, the others.
Tho committee is arranging recep
tions at various cities along the line of
the excursions and plans are being per
fected to make tho stay of tho mer
chants most attractive and intonating
in every way.
Reports received from various sub
committees shows that wide interest is
being taken in the coming of tho Amer
icans, particular! as the visit of the
American fleet has turned tho atten
tion of all Japan to America.
Will Sail September 25.
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Sept. 15.
Tho delegation of Pacific coast mer
chants, who will visit Japan this fall,
will sail September 25 on the Tenyo
Muni, for Yokohama. They will rep
resent Seattle, Portland, San Francisco,
Euroka, Los Angeles, San Diego and
other cities. They will stay in Japan
until early in November
BUFFALO BILL WILL NOT
PARADE THROUGH MEDFORD
One of tho strangest sights that our
streets have over presented will be seen
on the morning that Buffalo Bill's wild
west appears in this city. The engine
and ears which will he used in the pro
duction of tho great train holdup will
be taken through the streets from the
railroad train to the exhibition grounds
under tho engine 's own power. The
train will be escorted by tho original
bandit hunters, some of whom par
ticipated in tho very train holdup at
Wilcox, Wyo., upon which Buffalo
Bill's present production is based. In
planning for the great train holdup the
management experienced great difficul
ty in providing for an engine, ns it
would bo quite impossible to transport
a real locomotive from town to town
and use it in the exhibition. It is n
peculiar fact in presenting a scene
typicnl of the primitive west that the
latest invention of modern civilization
was called upon to solve a difficult
problem. An electric dray, used orig
inally in transporting merchandise
through tho city streets, was called into
requisition, as the basis for Buffalo
Bill's mimic locomotive. The wheels of
the truck, constructed to. suit tho pur
pose, form what are the driving wheels
of the real locomotive. Upon this basis
a superstructure was erected in imi
tation of n practical locomotive. The
inventive ingenuity of the Yankeo pro
vided the engine with an nppliance
which emits black smoke with the loud
puffing noise of a real engine There
is a whistlo and bell, an electric head
light of great power, and tho engineer
seated in the cab operates tho en
gine and all of its appliances after the
same manner that the railroad engineer
controls his iron horse. It can readily
be imagined that this imitation locomo
tive, drawii.g its rnrs, escorted by n
company of sheriffs, United States mar
shals and bandit hunters, assembled in
the west, will present an unusual sight,
surpassing ns a novelty in street pa
geants anything ever provided by any
exhibition in this or nny other country.
Add to this strange spectacle the sight
of a band of Indinns and the large con
tingent of horsemen with their nccou
ternients riding to the grounds, one
can form a better idea of what may be
expected in the performance given by
Buffalo Bill than could be gained from
a street parade, as it is ordinarily
constituted. When the paraphernalia
and horsemen arrive at the grounds the
public will be able to witness an equal
ly unusual sight in the erection of the
Indinn tepees, and the work of prepar
ing the arena for the exhibition.
The public is remindrd, however, that
in moving the properties and parapher
nalia of the Wild West from the rail
road to the exhibition grounds will in
itself constitute a pnrade of greater
interest and vastly more novnl than
any other organization can ofTer.fl The
engine and cars used in the great train
holdup will be accompanied by the orig
inal bandit hunters of the Union Pa
cific as an escort, and the sight will be
one which has never been seen in this
or any other country save in conjunc
tion with Buffalo Bill's exhibition. The
Indians and rough riders will ride their
horses to the grounds and the sight will
be an ample reward for.the elimination
of the hackneyed parade of other days.
Incidentally it may be mentioned that
when weather permits, Colonel Cody
will take a drive through the principal
streets to convince the public that tlie
old scout is still in the harness, ready
to appear, ns he positively will, at
every performance.
Anybody wishing a nice, new resi
dence property, 100x150 feet big, with
lawn, fruit and ornamental trees, lo
gan and strawberries, modern in every
way and located on the best street in

COMMUNICATION
, THE WATER QUESTION.
To the Editor: Mr. Hafer and others
seem to think that the selection of a
water supply for the city should be
left to the election of the people. 1
do not agree with them for these rea
sons:
Not one In hundred know anything
about it, except by hearsaly. They
have no knowledge otherwise of the
peculiar conditions which surround the
various sources of supply that is being
offered by the partisans of each prop
osition. They onoly know by hearsay
tho quality of the water, the quaitity
and the cost and accessibility of getting
it from any particular source. I notice
that our newspaper men, after seeing
Wasson canyon, came to tho conclusion
that it is not a "hog wallow," or the
drainage from cattle ranges. Hearsay
had miseld them, and actual observa
tion put them wise. I am from Mis
rousi. You will have to show me before
I can vote intelligently.
I made a critical examination of the
Wasson canyon supply Borne years ago,
while it was involved in some litiga
tion. It is good, Boft, cold, pure wa
ter. I am a partisan in its favor, but
what do I know about tho othor prop
ositions? Nothing, from my own ob
servation. I suppose Jen! Ileard could
tell me the fine points in the Sterling
supply. Shorty Hamilton could tell me
more about the Fish lake project. Mr.
Vawter or B. H. Harris might draw
rainbow pictures concerning the foun-1
tains of Big Butte. Dr. Ray could turn
his artists looso and swing many votes
for old Rogue river, etc., otc. Yet tho
election would be based on ignorance
of the voters of tho facts involved,
A committee of gentlemen who have
looked into all the tacts and circum
stances of tho various offers should
make the selection It is the only sen
sible way. I havo lived in southern
Oregon about 57 years. I know it
pretty well, but I am not propared to
vote intelligently on the proposition
without making a study of each scheme
offered, unless I take someone's word
for It. This I will not do. I will abide
the decisioti of an intelligent committee,
because they have examined tehso va-
rious sources of supplv. If I havo to
vote on the selection, it will be Was
son canyon. 1 know it, and do not
know tho other offers except by hear
say. 'You will have to show me."

TO FIND WAY TO RECLAIM
ARID DISTRICTS OF HAWAII
SAX FRANCISCO, Cal., Sept. 15.
Having aa his object tho bringing of
irrigation to tho dry sides of tho Ha
waiian islands and their ultimato set
tlement by honiuseekers, who will live
on small holdings, Frederick Hayes
Newell, director of the United States
reclamation cervice, left today o:i the
army transport Crook for Honolulu.
Newell was accompanied by C. .T.
Blunchard. and Mrs. Newell. The par
ty will remain i:i tho Hawaiian inlands
for some timo studying conditions and
formulating a report to congress on the
possibilities of reclamation eshemes in
the islands.
The visit of Director Newell to the
islands follows a visit made n short
time ago by Secretary of the Interior
Garfield. Garfield promised the resi
dents of the islands that ho would look
into the possibilities of establishing re
clamation areas on tho dry sides of the
islands and giving out tho land in
smalt parcels to homeseekers.
The wet c'de of the islands is taken
up by large sugar plantations, and there
is practically no agriculture on the dry
side.
BUTTED TO DEATH
BY E KB AGED BULL
QUI NOV, Sept. in. At the Oanhcr
ranch, west of town, Thursday night,
while attending to his duties in con
nection with tho farm, C. E. Schwartz
in a n n was almost instantly killed by
a vicious bull. Tho animal cornered
the unfortunate man in tho barn and
butted hi in to death against a manger
nnd the ground floor.
When tho body was later found by
Oausner, the yet mad bull was stand
ing over it, ready for more fight. He
would not be driven away until Onns
ner secured and n pplied a pitchfork.
Coroner Baeher held an inquest late
that evening, the jury determining the
cause of death to have been as stated.
Sohwartzmann's spine had been brok
en in two places and his chest mashed
almost flat, nearly every rib being frac
tured. The vicious animal had been de
horned, otherwise the victim's body
would havo been worse mutilated than
it was.
SANTOS HELD TO ANSWER
FOR SHOOTING MAN
KENNETT, Cal., Sept. 14 Juan
Snntos' preliminary examination on the
charge of assault with a deadly weap
on was finally ended yesterday after
noon. Five different hitches were tak
en at tho examination, which was com
menced three weeks ago. Justice Har
dey held Hantos to the higher court in
a bond of lo00, which he was not able
to give.
Hantos shot at one man and hit an
other E. Kranchette who was only
slightly wounded.
At the Bijou.
The Bijou theater has billed a par
ticularly strong performance for to
night. An extra reel of films will be run,
ni.'ikinn tli performance longer than
ever All of the subjects are exception
ally 'guild, making a very strong per
formance. "The Patriot" is a strong wnr story I
and iirturi'! war scenes and the horrors '
of war in a niot realistic manner. "The
Mturv the Hoots Told" is one of the
most clever and extremely cute pic
tures ever hilled at the Bijou. "A Trip!
to the Hmlan" is another interesting,
foreign picture; it is highly education- j
al as well. This class of picture should
not be missed by anyone. In the course j
nf entertainments at the Bijon pictures
are shown on all countries of the world. :
Three comic subjects of a high order
are also billed. They are all capable,
of producing . gr st dcnl of laughter.
