Six nioutkn ajo tike water committee decided upon 300 miners' inches, 4,800,000 gallons a day, as the amount of water Medford needed for present and future uses Now the engineer and committee figure that 2-18 indies, or 4,000,000 gallons a day, is ample. Jf Medford needed 300 inches last spring, its prospects of growth since have not lessened and it still needs that amount. In fact, the city had hotter increase the amount purchased than decrease it. Rules governing the per capita consumption of water in other places cannot he applied to Medford. This city, like Xorth Yakima, should be surrounded by an irrigated belt of small garden and fruit tracts. The sandy, porous soil drinks up the moisture, and plenty of water is needed to-transform a rather uninteresting looking town into a beauty spot. Jf the eity spends $3i35,000 and only secures 12-18 inches of water, it will be paying at the rate of $1-131 per inch and the 52 inches cut out under present plans mean a loss, at this rate, of $74,412. Can Medford afford this loss? SITUATION IN OHIO. The Portland Oregonian contains a special dispatch under date of October 1 from its Washington correspond ent virtually conceding Ohio to Bryan. The dispatch states : "Ohio, the home of the republican presidential nom inee, has become the most doubtful of all the normal re publican states. The Foraker following will be antagonis tic to the republican national ticket in .November. The situation is most serious. There is lack of good party organization; there is lack of party harmony, and there is an alarming lack of enthusiasm. Foraker has not lost all his strength. lie is still an idol with not a small repub lican following. There are at least -10,000 negroes, holding the balance of power in Ohio, who will follow Foraker's advice, and if Foraker persists in his fight, the republican ticket will fail." The situation in Ohio finds a parallel in Indiana, Ill inois, "Wisconsin, Iowa and other central west republican strongholds. The use of federal patronage and the big stick to force Taft upon the party is everywhere resented by the party, with the result that leaders are resentful and the rank and file apathetic. WHAT COL.

It is a I ho mirged that facilities be arranged here for caring for a large fleet, as if the necessity for th pro tection by such a fleet should arise, it would be rendered useless through the lack of docking facilities.
