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. ESTIMATE OF JUNE 30.

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.

" 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.

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.
