United States Court ol Ap
peals Sustains Demurrer
Against Southern Pacitic
!b Lumber Rate Case
SAN FRANCISCO. Cnl., Sept. :.
Judges YV. Ii. Gilbert, V. V. Morrow
and Erskinc M. Rosa, Hitting in I lie
United States court of nppeals here to
day, virt tally upheld the constitution
ulity of le federal rate law whieh gives
the interstate commerce commission
the power to fix railroad rates when
they mint ft hied the demurrer to the "n
junction suit of the Southern Pec i fie
and threw the suit out of the court.
Tbo suit regarding the redneing of
rates on lumber between Willamette
valley points and San Francisco.
The decision is the first of the kind
that has been handed down since t lie
passage of the interstate rate law by
eougress, and the victory won by Lu
ther M. Walter, the special attorney
for the interstate commerce commission,
means that the company cannot attack
the new rate on Oregon lumber ship
ments on any legal ground and must
contend that it is confiscatory ig it is
desired to have the court review it.
The decision today was on the de
murrer interposed by special Attorney
Walter by the interstate commerce com
mission and Joseph N Teal, attorney
for the Western Lumbermen's Manu
facturing association against the suit
I filed in the case of the Oregon Railroad
& XV'igation company.

and own-thing points to n fine display, j
latorost in t lie race program is ruiinliin i
high. A number of fine stoppers are
hero from Grants Pass, and it is the
general opinion that Meilfonl will have
to go some if they g' t their share of i
the money. Miss N'ora Smith of Knjjle j
Point has entered for the ladies' relay
rare, and Kugle Point is ready to liaek '
her to the finish. Miss Sleppy of Talent .
is also a eontestant for the nn purse ;
for the ladies' relay raee. She is get- j
ting together a good string of horses,
and her friends of Talent say she will .
h strietly in it. Mrs. Will rieliolio.im :
of .Taeksiinville says that if they beat I
her they will at least know they have
had a horse raee. Violet Foster, iln-j
little girl from Medford is a quiet little j
Boul, and does nit express herself as j
being a sure winner, but she is a light I
rider and nn i-xeelleat horsewoman, ami '
many think she stands a gooil ehnn

Th Cowboy Race.
As to the cowboy raee well, the I
cowboys are all on a still hunt, and if j
one were sure to be down to the traeh
about sunrise they would see Itnb Moore
changing horses at a clip that would be !
equal only to lluftalo Itill s pony ex
press. The trotters nnd pacers are
getting in good shape, ami there will
no doubt be some surprises in the way
of dlark horses that will come to the
front on this occasion. It is safe to
say that no other town in the state ever i
offered such an attractive raee pro- !
gram free to the public. Medford pays j
the freight and the f.llow gets the en-i
joyment. j
There has been some inquiry as to,
whether lady riders are to change sad
dies as well as horses each half mil-, j
According to the nil f the race eaea
lady will have two or more saddle:! and j
her horse will be saddled and held in

Signs of Recovery.
' ' Not wit list a ml ing the traditional
thinness ol a president lal campaign year
there are abundant signs lo ahow that
the coming months of this year will wit
ness an almost complete recovery from
the depression that lias prevailed since
last Ot-tnhcr. There are some locali
ties where tlie unemployed are still
confronted with a discouraging outlook,
ami ia certain lines of manufacturing
the tide of reviving trade has not as
yet begun to make itself felt; this. I
believe is particularly true of the lum
ber industry in the northwest; but on
the whole, the situation in nil branches
of industry exhibits symptoms of a
remarkably strong recovery, with a fair
assurance ot' permanent progress. The
fall buying, which is now in full swing,
is characterized by conservativism on
the pint of merchants in ordering stocks
but the indications are such a strong
demand will be made by the consumers.
Tanners Will Havo Money.
The farmers, wlut constitute the
bedrock of business acitvity, will have
more money to spend this year than
t hey ordinarily have, and this fact
alone will suffice to force increased
movements in the various lines of rade,
and tli us restore public confidence in
the permanency of the new prosperity.
The fanners of the southwest have reap
ed large am profitable harvests, and
the crop movement in the northwestern
country has begun two weeks earlier
than usual and on a larger scale than
was ;nitici:itci1. This means an un
usual flood of orders of merchandise of
all kinds, and increased act ivity alt
along the line from the retail merchant
to t lie jobbers ami wholesalers, hence
tn the factories.
"The reopening of idle mills and
factories, which will follow this new
impetus to trade, will result in the
furnishing of e'nploym.ntt to many of
the unemployed who lost their places
hist winter on account of recession of
business. Altogether the outlook is
niorefavorahle than it has been at any
time since tat Cell. ' '

Quality. "
The city of Medford Is indeed for-
health and lives of Its citizens by
contributing negligence In supplying
polluted water to any customer.
I'ltystctans and sanitarians ngrce
that polluted water Is responsible for
the larger portion of typhoid fever
eases and deaths, and that impure
water so lowers the vital resistance
of the human organism that other
diseases increase the mortality
where contnmlnntcd water is used in
n system. It Is not sufficient that
water issue clear and cold at its
source, but lo be satisfactory to the
consumer it must be protected and
safeguarded from Its source to the
distributing system

other things being equal, It Is

''ttt iff t pply and whatever
of the gradient may be modified by
n change In elevation or Intake or or
reservoir, or or both. Of tho four
functions relating to flow or water
either In pipes or open channels,
viz., quantity, slope, velocity, size,
any two may be assumed, whence the
other two can be computed. The us
ttnl practice Is to assume the quan
tity to be delivered (first), weterm
Ine the slope available by a survey,
the elevation of the reservoir, con
trols the diameter. Thus, If 4 3 feet
per mile is available, 14 -Inch pipe is
used; 22 feet, lfl-lncb pipe; 13 feet,
lS-lnch pipe; 11 feet, 20-Inch pipe.
The topography Is rixed, hut tho slope
nnd then compute the velocity nnd
size or pipe or channel. ir the diam
eter thus computed ditfora from the
commercial size or factory made
pipe, then that size may be chosen
which conforms nearest to tho re
quirement, nil hough not exactly.
Thus, It an IS-lnch pipe were chos
en and the slope or gradient nvnll
ahle were only 12 feet per mile, the
flow would not bo 4,000,000 gnllons
n day, but somewhat less. The third
condilion governing cost Is tho
strength or weight or pipe heavier
pressures requiring heavier pipe,
lighter pressures, lighter pipe. It Is
for this reason that a single survey Is
Insufficient to determine the moat
economical nnd efficient line, and
herein Is tho wisdom of making oth
er surveys that none bit tho best lo
cnllon for the pipe Hue nmy be adopt
ed. Five hundred dollars spent on
surveys that will reveal a Hue cost
ing $.1000 less for pipe is wisely ex
pended, and $."ilil spent on a survey
that reveals a saving of only $."iiifl
for pipe, but a greatly Increased ef
ricloncy, and a continued reduction
in cost or maintenance Is worth the
price

Itlghts, quality, quantity, cosl -It
Is needless for me to say that the
unmistakable "right" to tho divers
ion or the quantity or water paid fur
must be paramount lo any discus
sion or a given source or supply, or
any plan to construct from that
source.
Itights. A. M. lteaniea, attorney
tor Ilanley, furnished Ihe coiumlltee,
date, May 7, 11)08.
One of the ninny ailviinluges in the
Ilanley water right, is that there is
not much opportliuily for iiiiv conflict
with riparian owners. The Hlreiiins from
which the waters are taken area luxeit
entirely on llanley's laud. While Was
son canyon empties into Little Itulle,
yet for so many yearn llnnlev has used
all of the water on his adow. and
none of it linn found its way into Little
Ituttc that llicn uld be no riparian
elniuin.
If the city hud taken water from
Little Ituttc creek proper it might have
hud trouble from rip-iriaii rights. It is
taking spring water that lias not found
its nay into Little Uuti,. creek for so
many years that there appear to be tin
riparian claims to the use of the water.
Of course any other stream that could
he found in the countv Would be subject
claims of riparian owners iilono; t lo
st renin.
Here is a stream whose waters conic
from cold mountain springs oa hilhiiiles
and for inanv vears have been led bv
lili-lies over the Ilanley meadows, and
hence litlie, if any. of tin- waters lime
ver found their way into Little Ituttc
creek, but were used almost entirely
upon the lands upon which the springs
are situated. Tliere has probably never
been a time during any irrigating sea
son, or during tin- season when water
is lowest, lint what there has been more
Hum 300 inches turned over these inctnl-
ows, and winch water wits not taken
out of Little Ituttn creek, nor does it
ever find its vav into that stream. II
is therefore plain t lu t tliere is less
liability of any suffcssful litigation
of riparian claims against tin- city's
right lo the use of thin water than of
auv other water that was nvailcble for
ity purposes.
It Is not for me, but for your at
