THE ROGUE HI VEll PROPOSITION.
The Condor Water and Power company's offer to fur
nish water to Medford, published elsewhere, is certainly
worthy of more consideration than has yet been bestowed
upon it, for it is the cheapest way the city can secure an
unlimited supply of water. The proposal includes a pipe
line with a large capacity, two reservoirs and pumping
plants.
It is proposed to lease the plant and the distributing
system to the Condor company for operation it collecting
rentals and paying operating expenses and fixed charges.
No charge will be made for power for pumping until the
revenues are sufficient to pay all operating and fixed
1 . ..
The city issued $:tt5,000 bonds. Of these, only $55,-
000 can be sold. Sixty-five thousand dollars lias been
disposed of for the distributing system, $17,750 or 5 per
cent as commission on sale of bonds, 13,000 is set aside for
engineering expense, $3000 for rights of way. This leaves
a balance of $256,000 for buying water rights, construct
ing pipeline and reservoir.
Wasson canyon will cost $25,000 for water rights and
$247,053 as bid for pipeline and reservoir, or $272,053
total, an excess of $10,000 over the total amount of money
available. The Fish Lake proposition will cost approx
imately $30,000 less than "Wasson canyon ($20,000 less on
pipe and $10,000 less on water rights), or $2-12,053, or
$14,000 less than the amount of money available. Little
Applegate will cost $230,000, or $20,000 less than the
amount available. The Condor proposition will cost $107,
000 (as bid), or $50,000 less than amount available, but it
will be a pumping proposition.
Nevada, by r.-puMiranH, might decido
whirl) party in to control the national .
hotiHp in tho wixty first congress, Thero '
is a h'm uiiti C'annon tu'iitiment among 1
the republicans of the middle west. If
Tuft in elected, the fair presumption is '.
that the house will be republican, for
ulmost without exception the house
goes with the presidency on presidential
years. None the less, there is more of
a chance this year than for a long time j
that if the jejiublicaiiH win the presi-j
dency they will lose the house, because 1
of the anti-Cannon rovolt. 1
I hen-fore tho democratic anxiety to
pick up as many congressional seats
as possible in the far west. They can
not hope to make any very substantial
gains east of the Allegheny moun
tains. They may win a few scats in
New York, but already have more than
they are normally eneitled to in Penn
sylvania. If the democrats win the
next house, accordingly, it must be
through gains in tho west.
Hi s .iot likely that Secretary Metealf
will do any stumping work in the cam
paign, although some of the cabinet
members will be pressed into tho serv
ice. If Mr. Metealf does speak at all
it will probably bo in the nearby states, !
The republican managers are appealing
for cabinet oratory, but Mr. Metealf
has plenty of department tasks to en
gage his attention during the month of
October.

REPUBLICANS HEAR SOME
MOST DISCOURAGING NEWS
FROM THE PACIFIC COAST
(Special Correspondence to thn Sacra
mento lleo.)
WASHINGTON, Sept. IS.-An expert
of tho dopnitinent of agriculture who
has some expert knowledge of 1'acil'ic
const politics as well as Pacific coast
farming, has returned hero with a story
that greatly interests the politicians.
It tins leaked out, notwithstanding the
olfortB to keep it n secret.
Tho government ofliccholder in ques
tion was sent to the const a few weeks
ngo nominally mi nn agricultural er
rand, but likewise as is the esse with
inauy government officeholders nowa
day to Biy out tho country politically
nud to soo what he could do to help
tho republican cause along. He is just
bnck in town with word that there is
a most striking trend toward Hrynn
among tho fnrmers of California, iio.l
'.Uat the sorullid labor vote in mini
larly disaffected. He told the men
who seut him, and his words have been
carried along to Chairman Hitchcock
thnt thoro was danger the state of Cnl
norma, repiihlicuu though it he under
normal conditions, may flop to llrvan
m November, nnd that there is
ilar trend in tho other 1 'on fit
states.
occasional reports nhout California
politics of this character havo goner
ally been discredited in the east. They
have como with such persistency, how
over, as to bo commanding some nt
tention now. Republicans as well as
democrats are wondering whether there
is a possibility of California floin.ino
ana are recounting the sudden changes
more lias noon in ( nliforuio 's electoral
voto at a number of elections in the
last 30 years.
Tho suggestion from Cincinnati that
Mr. Taft might tour even to the IV
eific. coast is based on republican
nouniB ann rears as to the outcome
in California. Tliorn is so much de
mand, however, for Mr. Taft 's appear
mee on tko stump in tho middle west
especially in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Nebraska nnd Kansas that it is not
likely ha can be spared for the trio
through to tho Pacific oconn.
