Adam Bede, famous as the house humorist and person ally popular with men of all parties, but conspicuous as a Cannon lieutenant, went to the people of Minnesota and asked for re-election, and the people said: "We Want a Change 1" John J. Jenkins, another Cannon lieutenant, went to . Wisconsin and asked for re-election, and the people said: "Wk Want a ChanueI" Senator Fulton went to Oregon and asked for re-election, and the people said : , ':rK Want a Change!", Senator llansbrough went to North Dakota for re- election, and the people said : ''We Want a ChanqeI" Senator Kittridgc hoard it in South Dakota, from the people: "We Want a Chanue!" Senator Long asked the peojde of Kansas for re-elec tion, and the people shouted: "We Want a Chanue!" Senator .Hopkins went to Illinois and asked for re . election, and two-thirds of the republicans of Illinois an nounced: "We Want a Change!" Almost one-half of the republicans of Jowa when asked by their distinguished Senator Allison, replied : "We Want a Change!" Senator Ankeny went to the state of Washington and asked Jor re-election, and the people said: "We Want a Chamois!" The voice of the people is unmistakable. Wherevei they have earnestly lifted their voices, saying: "We Want a Change!" That sentiment is sweeping the whole country. "Wk Want a Change!" promises Interesting dexelopments in case Dick Slinger Says Engin eer Roberts Over Looked Him Entirely. THE SLINGER It ASCII. In an interview published elsewhere J)iek Slinger makes some very good points Jor his offer of a source of supply to the city. It is the only proposition yet sub nutted which provides deeds not only to water, but to land for headworks and watershed reserve as well. , Ilc offers acres of land and water rights covering several hun dred inches of filings, on the north fork of Little Butte, about 200 of which are used, for $7500. Mr. Slinger complains, and with some reason appa rently, that his proposition has not met with the consid eration deserved, and points out that the engineer's re port recommends acceptance of the Fish Lake proposition and the taking of the water out of the stream at the Ilanley meadows, just below the ranch Slinger offers to sell, when a few rods further would bring the intake on the land offered. "It" Mi-dford is to take water from tlio north furk of Little liut to ubuv the Haulcy much, my proportion should have first thoiee, asserts Dick Sltngc of the upper Little Butte valley, who viHited in Medford this week. "I offen-d the city my upper much uljoiiiing and above the Ilanley tract consisting of 334 acres and water righto covering several hundred miners' inches, 200 of which are used for irrigating the ranch, for $7500. This will give the city its intake, enable it to fence a mile of creek bed above and keep cat tie out and provido any elevation ue sired for pipe, gradient and reservoir. Both Land and Water. ' ' No ot her proposition made," con tinned Mr. Slinger, "provides land as well as water, and both nt a price so low as to be ridiculous in comparison wit h ot tier proposi tions. Mr. II anley wants $21,000 fur water ulone, nnd the total flow of Wassoit canyon is not as great as the amount of vator di verted on my place. 'The Fish Lako Ditch compeny of fcrs :t0O inches for $15,000, no laud accompanies the offer. My ntncli has as good a right to HOD inches an the Kish Lake company. My wuter rights are incontcHtibb. You cannot be en joined, and vn don 't have to await the completing of dams above to guar aatee the water. If thero ts not water enough on the ranch, and 1 claim there is, it is an easy matter to supplement it from the Fish Luke supply. Neglected by Engineer. 4 ' I cannot understand why the en g.ni-er should recommend Fish lake wa ler to bo taken out of the Little Untie at the Ilanley meadows, where they will have to purclintic a right of way and diversion site, when n few feet further would give hint all ihe laud needed for diversion and reservoir. My proposi- I inn, by far the best ou the Little Hut te, is not even mentioned in the engineer's report, which is not n stpiare deal. ! "If Medford goes to Little Unite fur water, my proposition is tho only me to consider. I offer abundant pure water, ground for di version and pro oct ion, ample elevation nnd everything he city is searching for. Who can beat it?" MISSIONARY SOCIETY TO MEET IN SPOKANE ANOTHER RAILROAD IS NOW BEINO SURVEYED KLAMATH FALLS, Or., Oct. 7. A surveying crew of railroad engineers is working north from the present ter minus of the McCloud Kiver Railway toward this city. A party of hunters from this city ran across the surveying crew this week, nnd this was the first knowledge gniued here of the fact that tho Me Cloud people had surveyors at work. Vears ngo it was supposed that the first railroad to reach Klamath Falls would be the McClond line, but work stopped, aituougli the line was surveyed. Tho fact that n crew Is now in the field going over the old line raise many conjectures here ns to the pur pnse. On account of the Southern Paeifi surveyors now running the permanent line from Alturns north, just east the old McCloud line, leads some believe that there will be n fight over Nnufhern Oregon nnd northern f'atifnr nin territory.

We always find a desirable tenant before a good building has been "to let" more than 24 hours, and land owners know we can always find a purchaser if a reasonable valuation is put on property. Consequently Medford does not impress the homeseeker as being "under the hammer." This is as it should be. This is the season of the year when home seekers want winter accommodations.
