ELASTIC ENGINEERING ESTIMATES.
Engineer Roberts is out in the Morning Mail with an
other estimate of the cost of the proposed pumping plant
under the Condor "Water & Power company's proposal.
this time increasing the cost to $252,004. A contracting
firm has offered to install the plant for $197,800.
It may ho merely a coincidence, but Engineer Roberts'
present estimate of $252,004 approximates the cost ($254,
.100) of the Hamilton proposition, which the engineer now
favors, as his previous estimate iriade .Tune 30 approxi
mated the then estimated cost of the Wasson canyon pro
ject, which the engineer then favored.
Here are the three estimates on the cost of the Rogue
river pumping plant, niado by Engineer; Roberts under
date of June !J0, .July 18 and October .1, respectively, and
the wide margins between them, particularly in the cost
of filtration, makes one wonder. The estimated cost of
engineering doesn't vary much, though.

I SAMPLE OF UNFA IRNFSS.
Tn its customary unfairness, the Morning Mail says:
"Harris offered to build a fhiine carrying 1000 inches
for $(:y.S2. "Why pay llafcr $110,000 for a similar serv
ice? lias a councilman a better right to sell the city ma
terials for higher prices than other citizens?"
Mr. Harris made a rough estimate on the cost of a
flume, which lie probably found was far under what the
actual cost would be. At at any rate, Mr. Harris did not
formally present his offer, and no certified check accom
panied it.
Neither Air. Harris nor anyone else could build such a
flume as that offered by -tire Crater Lake Lumber company
for $(i:!,5K2, nor for $li;:i,.rS2, and no one will offer to do
it and give a certified check to guarantee good faith.
The fact that Mr. llafcr is a coTEiicilnmn has nothing to
do with it. The people ami mil tlw council are deciding
the imestion, and should Mr. Ihfor's projiosal be accept
ed by the people he will at once resign "his office.
WHO THE WHITER. IS.
The Morning Mail wants to know what the writer of
tlio coininunicati'oii in The Tribune signed "One of the
Common People" is.
For the benefit of tlw Mail, the writer makes known
his name, it is Knicry .). Kastman, a "reputable and re
spected citizen of Medford.
. The reason that Mr. Mast man did not publish his name
..i. il. - a : , - . i . i i . . .... . .
ai- uic nine, ne siaies. was necause it would ailil no weight
to the article, as lie was simply "one of the common peo
ple," a plain toiler, who viewed the subject as it appears
to the workingman, and there are "more communications
where this came from."
Hut, as Mr. Mas! man points out. none of the arguments
he advanced are answered bv the Mail, and the eharui
that the editor of (he Mail was an interested party be
cause a stoi-kholder in the Kisli Make company is not de
nied.
Bryan Speaks to Students
Regarding New Menace
to Their Independence
XEWAHK, O., Oct. 24. Observing
among the crowd he wax addressing a
number ox studi-ntH, Mr. liryiiu huh!
in tlioin that ho hud dincuHed (tin laboi
tuHt ion as he hail bei-aum? "of t hr
now menace to their independence. "
Addresimig hi in ho f specifieiiilly to tlio
Htii'li'iitH, Mr. liryan said they build
Iheir lives upon ideals, nnd continued:
''The young man who in preparing for
a car cor in learning, or ho ought to
learn, that thero is but one think that
;h invincible and that in truth. He
ought to born that truth will triumph
in time ovor evory obstacle. With hln
ideals he is interested in pure politics.
All he wautH is a chance und h is wili
ng to take his chances under fair con
ditions and under equitable laws. I
wnnt these young men to understand
the context which lies before us. T have
been nominated without the aid of a
:remdent. Xn man with an army of
.freeholders was behind inn to coerce
men into my support. I had not great
corporations to threaten its employes
if they did not fnvor my nomination. I
1 1 ad no rich relatives to put up money
for the circulation of eulogies of mo.
I have had to fight my wny from the
lime T was a schonlboy and I have had
nothing to build upon except the cou-
udencn of those who beliovcd with me
that I believed what I said nnd would
be faithful if intrusted with power.
"And now I have been made Iho can
didate of my party, just as one of these
ichoolhoys might ho made the candi
lutn of his party in the years to come.
ami T ask these schoolboys if they nre.
not interested in purifying polities so
that a man can have, a chance to make
a fight for the people and not have an
dection bought away from him by the
(erret contributions of predatory wealth
-vhich nre not to known until the people
have voted. We are making fti honest
'ight. We nro giving you the names of
nur contributors. Wo are putting in our
platform what wo think ought to be
lime. we, are appealing to the intelll
ronee and to the .judgment of the. Amer
ican people, and all we ask is that
evory citizen shall be nl lowed tn think
is ho plenses nnd then nllow ft man to
vote as he thinks. That is our platform
Mir plan. We leavo our easo with you.'

Many
signs of this character about Medford. 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
he.
This is the season of the year when home
seekers want winter accommodations. Use
