Sail For Yokohama on
October 10
MANILA, Oct. 2. Because of thc
prPBcnce of cholera on stum, tho poo
pie of Manila wore compelled to giv
their welcome to t lit Atlantic tied
from barges and launches that sailed
around the In; whito ships as they lay
at anchor in Manila hay tonight.
Sixteen battleships arrived in squad
ron dtvisiiMi formation. The provision
ship Culgoa was belated on account
of a storm. The A.jnx. on account of
an accident, is still in Melbourne and
is expected to proceed in a feu clays.
Waters Illuminated.
As thoy lay at anchor in Manila hay
tonight several thousand people cann
on as the searchlights of tho fleet
played on the waters of the bay and
the strainso f music were wafted across
the waters. The sailors who had look
ed forward to this visit to Manila, tlx
first home port since, we left Honolulu.
July 23, were sorely disappointed. They
crowded the rails of the ships ami
looked longingly at the lights of tin
city, which will be denied them, as
thero is thought to he danger of cholera.
The fleet steamed past Corrogidor is
land a little after noon and anchored
in the bay at 3 o'clock. A number of
small vessels went out to meet th
fleet and accompanied it to the anchor
age place, but the reception, such as
it was, was reserved for tonight.
The sailors were eager to hear from
tbeir countrymen ami the bands on
each ship played as the little launches
circled about the fleet with the occu
pants shouting, waving flags and cry
ing out welcome to their fleet for which
they had waited so long. The ships
were, nil illuminated.
No Shore Liberty.
Almtral Hperry had received word
from Secretary of the Navy Metcalf
that under no circumstances are the
mon of the fleet to bo permitted to go
ashore until nil dnnger of the cholera is
nbosl'ito'y over. There is no fear that
the disense will spread but chances are
to be taken.
The fleet will remain off the break
water milil October 10, when the ships
at pit for Yokohama.
Tie health of the men is perfect and
ivory pffc.rt is to bo made to keep it
so.
The epidemic nt Manila has been a
s.'vero blow to business interests on the
islands. Governor Oeneral Smith says
tho situation ;o w II in hand and report
that tho cholera will be entirely undei
control soon.

who put in the water distributing sys
tem. On Wednesday Recorder Benja
min Collins forwarded the bonds, signed
by hiins If and the mayor, to John Nu
veen company, accompanied by a sight
draft for .l"."oil odd.
Tie- U(e was originally for $05,0110,
hut as the entire bond issue of $305,
mi" was til . 10,11110, n proportion had
t.i be cut from the . i m ,ooo. Then from
this amount had to be deducted the com
mission, leaving some .'1000.
The delay was ncrasiotu-d by the
slowness which was employed by the
brokers in determining the legality of
the issue and in getting the blank bonds
lithographed. Tin' blanks were receiv
ed a short t ime ago and these have
I iff n ret u rued to ( hicago. signed.
As soon as the money is received it

Large Crowds in Evidence
Today at District Fair
Judges Are at Work On
the Awards
Ashland sent a large delegation to
Medford Friday to attend the district
fair on ' ' Ashland lay, ' t ho grounds
of the fair b ing much more crowded
than they were upon the opening day.
However, Sal urday is tho day when
tin ij real est number of people are ex
pected, as many ol Die residents ot the
surrounding country await Saturday be
fore coming into town. Tin day was
given over to Ashland, and the sister
city on the south responded well. The
morning train was crowded and a large
number came by automobiles and in
carriages.
The weather continued threatening,
which fact probably kepi many people
from attending the fair. To start out
from Ashland when it seems that il
will rain at most any moment is not n
condition that is an incentive to travel.
Notwithstanding, there wore many peo
ple on hand from that city.
Making Awards.
The work of awarding the prizes in
t lie different exhibits was undertaken
shortly before noon today and will con
tinue this afternoon ami Saturday. A
large number of ox hi lots are entered
and the judges have much work before
I hem.
Of nil the exhibits there is probably
nothing that is attracting so much at
(cation as the fancy work. The main
building has almost half of it given
over to displays of art work, somn of
which is very fine. Among those show
ing Ihe best pieces of work along this
line is Mrs. S. C. Wright of Apple
gate, Mrs. .T. Hauck of Medford and
Mrs. White of Medford. Mrs. II. P.
Jones of Wildervillo, although 77 years
of age, has on exhibition some splendid
work.
Th" china painting exhibit is, in the
opinion of some nf the ladies who have
si udied this form nf art, as fine as
Dial shown in eastern cities. The
judges on painting are Mesdames Page.
Tattle and Tracy. Tin judges on fan
cy work are Mrs. 11. K. Morrison, Mrs.
Hollis ami Mrs. !Will Warner.
The judges lu.ve not yet. been chosen
to determine the merits of the fruit
and other exhibits.
Dr. Whilicomb of Cnrvallis is in the
city to make the awards of the stock
exhibit.
The various boot hs about I he fair
grounds are attracting much attention
now that they have been fitted up and
completed, (if all those on the grounds
there arc none that is attracting more
attention than that of Bak-r Hutehason
company. This firm has a model show
room fitted up and have on display
some exhibit of each of their lines. They
did not spare expense in fitting their
booth and as a consequence are attract
ing much favorable comment.
The exhibits will all remain in place
until 1 o'clock tomorrow. Saturday, afi

The place includes J! acres of elegant

Mr. Hurley's phice has long been
noted for producing Home of the finest
fruit grown in this valley or in the
world, and his exhibit of fine grapes

Bespit" protest by John Nuveen &

The bond election ealted for the selec
tion of a gravity system, and why Nm
veen & company should bo ho interested
is lo which direction the water wns
lo eoiiio from and tho insistence upon
a c.eilniii bidder securing tho work has
given rise to the rumor that the bond
buyers are interested In the contracting

taken unless this firm secures the work.
Roberts Can Out Price.
Kngineor Roberts confidently experts
to bring tho cost of water from Little
But tee under the Fish lake proposal
within tho amount of money available
by tho bond issue, It 15, 000, including
tho city distributing system. This he
figures can be done by letting the eon

made by vnrious bidders on various
classes of work, the engineer has made
a complete estimate of cost nt $.V4,287
as against ;t72,O0O under the unit bid
of the American Light & Water com
pany. This estimate includes prices
made by the Jacobnon Bade and other

CFTHR1K, Okla., tOct. 2. Tt nppears
today that further trouble will grow out
of the efforts of tho Prairio Oil com
pany to lay pipelines along the high-,
ways of Rogers county, while tho dis
pute between flovernor (.'. N. Haskell

since has become an issue in the na

Tho board of commissioners today
sent an appeal tn West asking if under
the law they had the power to grant
the company tho right to construct the
lines. West warned the commission to
day that, they did not have such power.
It is certain a determined effort will
be made to stop the laying of tho pipe.
The attitude of tho governor and West.
it is the opinion, that tho subsidiary
of tho Standard Oil interests will he
