SAYS INDIANA
FOR BRYAN
Not One Chance In Twelve
for Taft In Hooster State
According to Wellman
By Walter Wellman

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 22, Unlesn
Bome thing like a miracle hup pens during
thataext 'fortnight Indtaimwlll give her
electoral vote to Brvun tikis year. As
thev case now stands, tbo only doubt
is u t6 th size of his plurality. This
'is not likely to be large from ten to
thirty thousuad ami on that account
th republitaiifl 1 liavo rot abandoned
hop. Thipy wiH of course continue the
brave struggle they havo made against
heavy odds since the beginning of the
campaign. Even now; with all the facts
against them, the republican leaders do
not openly admit defeat. They still
try,, to bopo that sumo lucky turn of
events, some accident, mcy enublo Tuft
to squeeze through. They nro fighting
politicians, these hoosiors, and they do
nott always know when they am whip
ped) and whPii they do know it they
do not confess it. Down in their hearts
those of them who know the truth, in
bo far no it ran be known, feel that the
guirie is about over and the senro a
gainBt them; but there is another inning
to play, and they go on with the strug
gle bearing as bravo an outward front
as they can under the circumstances.
It is a discouraging situation which
they face. If ouo dares toll the plain
truth) it is not so much the loss of the
stat on the presidency that gives them
grief as tbo fact that if Taft goes down
the- govern ah ip goes with it, the state
ticket, the legislature, a United Stilton
sen Worship.
It' is probnblo that thin announce
ment that Bryan, has Indiana today,
with every prospect of being able to
bold' it to the end, will come as a
shock to tho members of the republi
can''. National campaign and to many
thousands of loyal members to the party
One does not like to bo tho innr.sengor
witbJ ill-tidings, the destroyer of pleas
nnt'dreains. But the first duty of the
independent observed is to tell the (ruth
ns he sees it, and tho truth about Indi
4inai according to my lights, is that Taft
liasnbout ono chance in nd ozen of
snn tching victory from the jt:ws of
defeat.
YOUNG WOMAN NEARLY
KILLED BY HUNTER
Dr. A. L. Oolder returned to town
the-last -of the weok from tho home
stead at tho "Beaver Dams" on one
of tho forks of I.ittlo Butte crook, 27
mites east of Ashland and ono and
one-hnlf miles enst of Dondwood, where
he and his family are holding down a
claim, says tho Tidings. That he is not
now a widower is due to tho poor
marksmanship of a careless liuitor, who
fired point blank at his wifo while she
was4 fishing for trout in the small
stream that flows by tho Oolder cabin.
Tho' bullet whizzed by so close to her
head' that Mrs. Oolder almost dropped
from fright, while the reckless hunter
and a companion who were traveling
in a wngon toward Ashland over the
road close by, eon tinned on his way
without oven making an investigation.
It is supposed that he saw Mrs. Oold
er tlrwmgh the bushes, mistook her to
be a deer and with a recklessness too
common among people who nre allowed
to carry firearms, fired point blank.

reports cover it fully. Tu' regard to
the construction of the elevated pipe
line above mentioned our proposition in
detail is aa follows:
Rights of Ways.
The city is to secure rights of way

enable him to operate the said "V"
flume, but at no time shall he reduce
the total delivery at the lower end of

oss than three hundred miner s inches
or seven and one-half foot seconds. In 1
the event that the undersigned fair or
neglect to pay his share of the expense
of maintenance ns hereinbefore set forth

Roberta Estimate.
Medford, Or., Oct. 14, 1908. To the
Honorable Mayor and City Council,
Medford, Or. Gentlemen: Mr. Edgar
ITnfer has handed mo a plan to supply
Medford with water from tho Big Butto
Spring. This is the spring mentioned
in my former report of September 26,
concerning which I said the spring
''has had its advocates because the
quantity and quality of water wore be
yond question and the water rights
were not in dispute." It issues at an
elevation of about 2700 feet (Medford,
137.".) nnd flows about 2100 miners'
inches. Mr. Hafer proposes to bring
the water through a covered flume
About 2- milfs, thence by pipe to the
distributing system at Medford. The
capacity of the flnme he submits is not
less than 300 inches, with a grade of
. Teet per thousand. He has asked
rue. to furnish you an estimate of the
cost of sych a system, exclusive of the
flume, bawd on prices similar to those
used for estimates of the Little Butte
project.
