VP TO THE PEOPLE FOR CHOICE.
It is now up to the people of Medford to say what water
system will be selected for the city, Big Butte .Springs,
Fish Lake ditch, or Rogue River. Any one of the sources
provide better than a majority of cities possess, and little
fault can be found with quality. To make assurance
doubly sure, the Rogue river system comprises a filtration
plant. ti '
The Big Butte Springs, which Messrs. Vawter and Da
vis, who own the land on which it is located, offered free
to the city last .summer, is perhaps the most ideal water
supply ever offered to any city, bursting like a giant foun
tain of ice water from the earth with a flow of L'tiOO minors'
inches in the dryest time of year, it would be one of the
biggest advertisements the city could secure. The Fisli
Lake ditch water is water impounded in Fish lake by a
dam and carried in the natural channel of the nortlifork of
the Little Butte.
The Condor Water & Power Company offer is a pump
ing proposition, and provides for the construction of a
pipeline from Cold Ray to Medford by the city, the total
investment to approximate 197,000. This, together with
the distributing system, will be leased and operated by
the company and the water sold at rates fixed by the coun
cil. Interest and sinking fund are to be deposited for the
city from the earnings, and no charge will bo made for
pumping until revenues are great enough to pay all fixed
charges and operating expenses, when 2") per cent of the
not profits will be turned over to the city and 7.3 per cent
retained by the company, which is also to have the sale of
surplus water outside the city.
The Crater Lake Lumber company offer provides for
a covered flume l(i by l!!) inches, 2 miles in length and
.15 miles of pipe. The flume will cost 110,000 amftiie
offer provides for the delivery of !$()() inches from Big
Butte Springs to the city, though the capacity of the flume
is much greater. A V-shaped flume will lx built along
side by the company for fluining lumber down, and the
acceptance of this proposition means the establishment
of a big lumber mill in Medford, with a big payroll. En
gineer Roberts estimates the cost of pipeline, reservoir,
extensions, etc., at Ki7,H0, making a total cost of 277,410.
Contractor Bade estimates the construction of the pijMi
line at 10,000 less than the figures quoted.
The Fish Lake Ditch company proposes to :'ll the city
.'500 inches of water on the llauley ranch and construct
'2'.):. miles of wooden pipe, reservoir, etc., for !251,1(H). The
pipeline will carry 2 10 inches of water to the city.
The Contract ing firm, Jaoohscn-Badc companv, also
submitted a bid for constructing the Fish Lake ditch pipe
line, reservoir, etc., for 2:5-1 ,000, to which if the 15,000
for water is added the cost is 2I!),000, or ;,(()() ,.ss than
the Fish Lake Ditch company's bid. Through a misun
derstanding, the contractors did not aecompanv their bid
with a certified check, and the Fish Lake company an
nounced that the former proposition to sell the city water
for 15,000 had been withdrawn. The Stinger ranch could
be purchased and the water delivered with the .Jacobsen
Bade bid for 211,500. hut thi nroi:,! win lln) ... ,..
What Papers Say
THE OUTCOME
(.SuiTiiiiii-litu Bee)
Orxpite dll the fl Uriah aud lioantin;
. ft the Tuft mid Slit'riiiun side of the
(utititr, with mythical offers of "b'
imiii(y" at 4 to 1 or otlH-r great odin
on tin. Wall street ticket, and "no
tak'j 8," the ttutii id thut the result i f
t-itt November flection in so much in
ii.iiin and ho uucerrliin that no man
equally wine and well-informed can
venture fl prediction. Aa late as the
Mth instant the New York Nation, which
is supporting Taft but taking u critical
view of the campaign, very pertinently
said iu this regard.
Kverybody knows how confused tli
electoral battle really is, and how im
possibio is a prediction of the outcome
With party lines wavering and broke
as never before; with conflicts in
National issues and confounding the
wisdom of tho politicians; with guer
rilla fighters turning up at every patch
f bushes; with business still depressed
and a great army out, or work; with
campaign funds mengcr; with the evi
deuce of popular i-xcttement small-
is absurd fur any one to pretend to
know what the result will be.
As a rule, the least informed are the
most confident of the issue of the pres
ent conflict that victory will be on
their side, whichever that may be!
