W. C. Hale in Grants Pass
Paper Says Rogue River
Would Be More Appre
ciated by Eastern City
The following oxtraot from open let
; tor of W. C. Halo appearing in the
Oregon Observer, October 21, 1008,
' shows his opinion of Rogue river wa
ter: Boguo river, the source of supply,
would be highly npprecinted by any
eastern city or town; that water is
wholesome is shown by the absence of
all diseases in our city which could be
f attributed to its use. The quantity is
certainly umplu for nil time; tint intake
is in deep water fur above- the city nnd
nil sewerage. All the maximum consump
tion of wnter from the system is 750..
' OOO gallons per day. .No sufficient sup
ply of water of a better quality can be
secured.
"The couneil appointed a committee
to investigate and report the cost per
i month of operating tlio plant, and the
monthly receipts. The committee re
ported the average monthly copt to be

coat 7M.2S per month. That !
monthly reooip,, are 1114.13, !
the total
. " i-'F ,V ; I
leaving nn average monthly profit of
oration. , J
"That the receipts will increase as j
the city develops nnd expands is beyond
dispute, while the cost of operation will i
i not increase, as the power in contract-
' ed for 20 years at an average cost of
$180 per month; the capacity of the
plant is four times tho present con
sumption, with the power contracted
for at the, price stated the city can, if
it purchases the plant, furnish the pa-
trons four times tho quantity of water;
now furnished without increasing the
cost of operation or the cost to patrons. '
The engineer's report shows that the
pumping pant nnd mains are equal to
the full capacity of tho power con
tracted for; therefore the plant is fully
equal to any anticipated increase in
consumption for years o come.
,"Our city has a population of oOuo,
and covering a large area for Hie popu
lation. The city has now but 32 hy
drants for fire protection. These are
inadequate; for reasonable safety the
city needs 100 hydrants. Should the
city purchase the plant, ample fire hy
drants can be supplied for the initial
cost of installation, And ample fire pro
tection afforded. All appreciate the
necessity for "better fire protection.
"There is some agitation for a grav
ity system to supply the city; but it
should be borne in mind that such n
system would cost an enormous sum for
construction of a highline ditch or pipe
line, nnd in addition reservoirs would
have to be constructed ns well as a
distribution pipe system, which would
cost a further sum. This nil appears
from an inspection of the engineer's re
port now on filo in this matter.
"Prom tho experience of our neigh
bor city, Med ford, it is clear that not
less than $300,000 would be required
for a gravity system, and our city
would still be in competition witli the
present plant. Such competition would
he disastrous to both concerns, and cer
tainly would take from the city a large
portion of its revenue."

features of an open letter addressed to

The- letter begins by denying (hut
President Roosevelt was tlio author of
tlio charge that the donation came, from
the .Standard Oil and that an answer
to the question js not due the president,
luit is due to Hisgen.
The Hearst candidate declares that

John Xuveen & Company of Chicago,
bond buyers, are insisting that $20,

bonds be signed and returned to them
immediately. In regard to the accrued
interest on the bonds, they insist that,
the city pay all interest, which hns ac
crued on the first issue of $39,000, nnd
on ihe issue they now demand of $20,-
000, from the date of the bonds, duly

done, the bond house will pay half or
the accrued interest mi the remainder
of the bunds.
Council Meeting.
A special meeting of the council was
held Thursday evening to consider n
number of telegrams from Xuveen &
Company in regard to the matter, and
after considerable discussion the mat
ter was referred to the city ntiorney
with instructions to employ further
counsel hi the mailer in order to do

DID M'KIEY
DAYTON, O.. Oct. 2:1. The inter
esting statement mado by Senator John
Polliver of Iowa that President Mc-Kinli-v
picked William H. Taft for the
presidency is being discussed generally
today where politicians congregate.
Senator Ihdliver told a big audience
about it hint night whih- h was mak
ing .1 political -qwech. He said that it
was while Taft was on the Ohio bench
that President McKinleV sent for him
and announced Ins intention 01 appomi-
ing him governor of the Philippines. .
"At first Judge Taft dcnurml, said
, the speaks. "Thep resident spoke up
saying:
"Xow judge, I want to offer you a
! gre-t opportunity to serve your race
Letter to Nebraskan-
kuowf How is the public to know?
"You say that you mado a false
staterui nt, and you apologize for it.
That is right. But must the president
apologize because your friend, Mr.
Mack, makes a false statement f The
president is not responsible for Mack
nor " for Mack 's falsehoods. You are
responsible for Mr. Mack, Mr. Bryan.
You are siugulnrly unfortnnnto in your
friends, Mr. Bryan. Here is Mr. Mack,
your intiinnto friend, slnted as a mem
ber of your cabinet in the clouds, who
publicly admits that ho is a falsifier.
Tho only question therefore is uot
whether Mr. Mack lied, but when he
lied."
Reviews Haskell Charges.
Hisgen then goes on to review. the
Haskell charges and declares that the
Oklahoma governor withdrew his suit
against his accuser through four.
He classes Mack and Haskell as " bud
"gg out f the same had basket," and
closes by advising Bryan that tho dem
ocratic standard bearer is "unfortunate
in his choice of friends." In naming
them he refers to Senator Bailey, Sen
ator McLnuren, Itoger Sullivan, Thom
as Taggart and John W. Kern.
Bryan has denied emphatically that
such a fund ever existed or that any
such donation was ever made. His do
ninl has been corroborated nnd sup
ported by statements from National
Chairman Norman K. Mack nnd various
other democratic, leaders.
ered to the city are dated July 1. The
bond house turned the money for the
distributing bonds over t-o the city
about October 1 nnd- dema'uded Mint
ho city paiy t-ho i-ntenest., a-houl; $800,
which accrued between t'h'es'o two d'afes.
Tho interest, according, to- t'hn ud-v-cntisc.-jnnnt

upon delivery of tho bond's-. Nofcv X'm-

months intervening between the di:ite
of the bonds nnd the date of delivery.
Thoy also want the interest on Hi
$20,000 between July 1 and dal-e f de
livery. Then 1 hey say they will pay
one half of the interest accruing on the
remainder of the gravity water supply
bonds.
As some of th bonds may not be de
livered for a year or two years, the
jiaying of this interest is a big prob
lem. The city attorney will look into
the matter and see if Nuvcen & Com

CRAWFOKItHVILLi:. Ind., Oct. 23.
William ff. Taft begun the r,econd
ilay of his campaign in Indiana state at
Brar.il today. The candidate's throat
is still sore nnd he has difficulty in
making himself heard by the crowds.
The principal annoyance to the candi
date comes from the sulphur fumes of
t he torches and colored fire used in
the night meetings. Or, Richardson has
requested the various arrangements
committees in the town where night
tays arc made to discontinue the il
luminations. In many places, however,
the request hat been disregarded.
C. P. HERALD
IN FAVOR OF
the rogue mm
Says the Irrigation Fea
ture of Condor Proposi
tion Is Best of All-Says
Rogue is Logical Source
Tho Central Point Herald makes the
following comments on the Medforil
water election:
To an outside observer it would ap
penr that the electors of Med ford
should havo but little trouble in de
ciding how to mbark their ballots at
the coming water election. Three pro
posals hiivo been submitted, one from
tho Crater Lake Lumber company at
a cost of $277,410, 0110 from the Fish
Lake Dilch company nt a cost of $2r4,
H 1), and one from the Condor Water &
Power company at : cost of $107,000.
The Crater Lake people contemplate
the use of nn elevated wooden flume
2 miles long nnd through a rough tim
bered country, and also a V shaped
fhimo alongside the water flume, on the
same foundation for carrying lumber,
wood, etc., for tho benefit of tho lum
b. r company exclusively. An i'lovat
ed wooden flume does not appear to
offer a very safe nor permanent menus
for delivering water to n city which
expects to grow within a few years to
2-00O or 50,000 people. Thero aro too
many contingencies which might nrise
nl any time that would put a wooden
flume out of business. A fallen tree,
a forest fire, a ilood, a laudslidu or a
jam in the Y-shaped lumber flume might
nt any time cut off the supply of wa
ter nnd leave tho people of Med ford
"up against it" as hard ns they were
last summer.
Fish Lake.
The offer of the Fish Lake company
'ontemplates the use of a pipeline all
of tho wavfi but there appears to be
considerable doubt in Med ford as to
the quality of Fish lake water. The
lake has been dammed at the 011' let and
the water raised nnd backed up over
a large scope of adjacent timber and
brush laeds, where it ia naid to become
stagnant and impure during the sum
mer season. AuoflM'r serious object ton
which is In ing urged against this pro
ject is that thero seems to bo a ipiestion
as to the water righlH of this company,
Mr. Hanley, owner of Ihe Wnsson can
yon rights, having frequently been quot
ed as wiving that he will at lack the
ditch company's right, to divert water
from Little Butte creek at the point
named in their proposal.

Is tho Crater Luke Lumbor company

Yes; upon the letting of the contract.

Beneficially. It will provido steady

in Medford and in tho forests. Will
also help solvo tho fruitgrowers' prob
lem, ns during tho fruit packing season
tho sawmills and other manufacturing
plants could run with a small crew,
thus allowing u large number of men
to assist in tho handling of fruit dur
ing tho season.
Hns the Crater Lake Lumber company
any riparian water rights on the Big
Buttof
Yes, as it owns- llio land through
which tho stream flows, and also owns
tho land at tho proposed point of db
orsion. In addition, water rights are
Heeured by water filings.
How does the water of Big' Butte
Hpringf compare with that of Pish lake
or the Rogue river f
Butte springs water is the finest sup
ply ever offered any city.' 'H 4rt supe
rior in quality to that eirher'mf Fish
lake or the Rogue river, as the wnter Is
taken practically at the springs, frhtch
gush a river in volunio from the earth,
there is no chance for impurities to
mprcgnntc the waters. On the other
hand, the water of Pish hike is during
a large part of the season unfit to.
Irinkthe lake being in fact a snbmerg-.
ed forest, and the decaying trees ren
der Ihn water injurious for tiso. Much'
uf the time tho lake is. covered with a
green scum nlong the edges and campers
find it necessary to row into the center
of the lake to secure water fit for use.
Prom Fish lake the water is dropped
into the north fork of Little Butte,
whoso watershed is n vast cow pasture,
and where several thousnnd head of ent
ile aro wintered. In addition many
ampers spend the summer nlong the
banks of tho stream polluting its wa
ter. It is admitted that tho Rogue
river water will have to bo filtered
before it is fit for use. All that is
necessary for anyone to make up their
mind o ntliis subject is to visit tho
proposed sources of supply, and tho
verdict will be unanimous for Big Butte
springs. ' t
DEMOCRATS DISSEMINATE
REPUBLICAN THUNDER
CHICAHO, Oct. 23. Republican! at

over on incident which they say "evens
up tho blunder of tho Omaha Bee edi

a carload of Taft literature in Yiddish,
Polish, Bohemian and the Slavonic lan
guages. Draymen became confused and
delivered tho literature at the demo
cratic headquarters in the Auditorium
annex. The democrats had ordered a
similar output for Bryan and welcomed
tho draymen with a good "tip." There
was no one in the headquarters who
could read the circulars and no one
suspected the character of the litera
ture. '
The shipping bureau promptly souzed
it and expressed two wagon londs off
to foreign voters with a Bryan leaning.
Another load was on the way to voters
when a Lit human visitor discovered
the dreadful mistake. Frantic efforts
are being hiade to prevent deliyery of
