BIDDEN DANGERS.
Nature Gives Timely Warnings That
No Medford Citizen Can Af
ford to Ignore.
DANGER SIGNAL No. 1 comes from
the kidney secretions. They will warn
you when tho kidneys ure sick. Well
moneys excrete a clear, amb-r fluid.
Sick kidneys send out a thin, palo and
loamy, or u thick, red. ill-mneliine
urine, full of sediment and ii regular
of passage.
DANGER SIGNAL No. 2 comes from
the back. Back pains, dull and heavy,
or sharp and acute, tell you of sick
kidneys and warn you of tho approach
of dropsy, diabetes and Bright 'a dis
ease. Doan's Kidney Fills cure sick
kidnoys and cure them permanently.
Here's Medford proof:
Mrs. J. H. Boussum, living corner of
Twelfth and C streets, Medford, Or.,
says: "I suffered bo severely from kid
ney trouble that I was unable to ,'o
my housework. My kidneys were very
irregular nnd caused me much annoy
ance. My back pained me severely when
stopping or lifting and sharp twinges
were often present in my loins. I ran
down in health and at times felt very
miserable. Doan's Kidney Pills were
brought to my attention and I procured
a box at Haskinns' drug store. They
helped mo from the first, so I contin
ued taking them and was entirely cured.
I have recommended Doan 's Kidney
Pills to othr sufferers."

RAY SAYS HOWARD HAS
MADE MANY MISTAKES
Pays Tribute to Engineer But Says He Has Misre
presented Many Matters Regarding Water Propo
sition o! the Condor and Water Company
Mr. Howard wm in tlio employ of
the Condor Water -A Tower compnuy "ff
and on for a number of yearn, ami his
services as an engineer were always
highly satisfactory, ami ho was loyal
to our interests while- in our employ,
lie happens now to bo in tho employ
of the Fish Lake Ditch company ns
consulting engineer, but notwithstnud
ing this, wo do not believo ho would
knowingly make any misrepresentations
about us or anvono else. '
Mr. Howard is a very busy man, nml
evidently has uot had timo to read or
understand our proposition thoroughly,
otherwise he would not make so many
misstatements about our water prop
osition.
First The " butt-in " article, which
has "riled" Mr. Howard was written
by It. CI. Smith, attorney for our com
pany, and we admit that he is not n hy
draulic engineer.
Second As to how tho law provides
for the water supply of municipalities,
I refer to Attorney Smith's article on
tho question which will apponr in Mon
day's Tribune.
Third Mr. Howard states: "That
in tho Condor proposal the city pays for
everything and tho Condor company
takes all tho profits."
Mr. Howard evidently has not read
the Condor proposition, or ho would not
deliberately mako such misstatements.
The truth is, our proposition sponks
for itself and means what it says, and
ns Mr, Howard says, "wo nro long on
finance," it must bo good.
Tho fourth clause of our proposition is
is follows:
Fourth We 'proposo to pay tho city
of Medford 25 per cent of the net prof
its nnd retain 75 per cent of the net
profits, and rctnin tho rovemrt derived
from the sale of all surplus water (not
used by the city of Medford) outside
of tho city limits of said city of Med
ford, Settlement to bo mndo quarterly
or monthly ns revenue is collected.
Water furnished freo for firo protection.
Fifth deferring to operating ex
penses, wo would bo willing to guaran
tee same to be less under our manage
ment than tinder city management un
der like conditions.
Now, Mr. Howard, you must admit
that tho city gets 25 per cent of the
profits nnd wc get 75 per cent (if there
nro any).
You must admit that our proposition
costs less than tho Fish Lake.
You must admit thnt. our operating
expenses will bo less than tho city's
under like conditions, hecnuse wo guar
antee it.
The pumps and motors and renewal
of the same and operating expenses nt
the fl old Hay pumping end find the elec
tric, current for pumping nro furnished
at. the expense of tho Condor company,
in consideration of which tho Condor
company gets 75 per cent of tho net
profits within the city limits nnd all
of tho revenue derived from tho sale
of surplus water (not used by tho city
of Medford) outside of the city limits.
If Hamilton's proposition wins, then
the city must pay more for the construc
tion of the system than ours would cost.
It will cost moro to keep up nnd
maintain this line thin ours, because it
is twice ns long.
The bond interest nnd the deprecia
tion nnd tho sinking fund will be more
because it will cost more.
Our opernting expenses will bo less,
wscftuse we gun ran tee it less.
Our management and service will be
better, bemuse we have proved it in
operating the electric light system, and
you know that tho city went in debt
every year in opernting the light svs
tern, as well as the water system, and if
you will go to the city recorder's of
fico. you will find that the city is now
getting nt the rate of $1000 per year
as th.fi r 5 per cent of onr gross revenue
from the lighting nystem nnd that
addition they are getting most of their
stTcet lights free.
What, then, is the difference between
the pumping system and tho gravity
ayatem, when the city of Medfnn! will
get water without cost by pumping ex
cept the contingent profit and the sur
plus sale of water outside of the city
limitst
The sal1 of surplus water by us means
under our propositi n that we must sup
plv the citv of Medford first. All the
water it will use, even though it takes
all our proposed pipelino would carry.
When Medford grows sufficiently to
use nil the water our proposed pipeline
would carry, then we would bo compell
ed to build new pipelines at our own
expense to supply our irrigation con
tracts outside of the city limits.
Fourth In referring to length of our
pipelino ns ten miles, wo referred to
tho distance from Gold Ray to Med
mm. Hi o intake above Hear creek
having no pressure thereon, can be built
very cheaply, nnd tho distance is not
two miles. The distance to our pro
posed reservoir sito 200 feet above Med
ford is not two miles.
It does not matter what tho length
of line is above Hear crook or to the
reservoir, inasmuch ns we have Had a
bid to put in tho complete system for
$1117,800.
Fifth If Mr. Howard will r?ad our
proposition ho will see that the 40 Ts
or taps cost, tho city nothing.
Sixth Why shouid not the Condor
company receive the outside revenue
from water sales outside city limits of
tho surplus water not needed by Med
ford, "when this costs the city nothing
for power or for vater nnd Medford
gets Its wnter and power for pumping
free Insido city limits, except tho con
tingent profit, of 75 per cent duo tho
Condor company f
Does the gravity system promise Med
ford something f r nothing?
Seventh Tho Condor company would
be under ample bond and with a half
million nssets bnck of the bond to gunr-n-iteo
that Medford would receive nil
of the pure water it needed nt r.ll times.
Tho Condor company is putting in
moro power at, Prospect, es Mr. Howard
knows, nnd will hnvo p.mplc power to
meet nil demands.
Eighth As to tho right of wny, the
Condor company offers freo to tho city
whatever rights it possession along its
pole lino right of way nnd if that is not
room enough or sufficient, it will cost
far less for the f w inches more need
ed than tho gravity pipolino proposed
by Hamilton's, which is over twice ns
long.
Ninth Tf Mr, Hownrd will read our
"yellow literature" ho will find out
that wo proposo to pump watr to a
reservoir at (lold Kay 300 feet high,
nnd that the water will flow from thcro
by gravity to Medford, which is
208 feet higher than Gold Ray,
nnd that wo propose to repump the wa
ter at Mfdford 200 feet higher than tho
city.
Tenth The Condor company ngroe'i
t'p pump nil tho water -Mio city needs,
and this means just whnt it si'-ys and
does not mean "thnt the Condor com
pany will bo the judge, nnd Mr. How
ard knows this to be n fact."
Klevonth Please explain, Mr. How
ard in whnt. way tho pumping and light
ing service has been unsatisfactory In
tho pnnt.
Tho only difference wo know of is o
difference of opinion in regard to the
contract, nnd we are entitled to our
opinion until it. is proved wrong.
Twelfth Ir. concluding, Mr. Howard,
ymi say to be "gcod or moro later on."
Do you mean by this that we shall ngreo
with you in saying that the "Hamilton
proposition is a good onet" If bo, we
shall reply thnt wo are not in the em
ploy of tlie Fmh Lnk company or Mr.
Hamilton.
Wc know you will rend this reply, and
if the correspondence is kept up long
enough, we know thnt ws will convince
you that our proposition in the best for
the people nnd that you will admit it, ns
will nny fair-minded citizen who will
r-i.d nd ii.-vestigate eur proposition,
without prejudice.
Respectfully,

citizens of this great country,"
In 18(10 Abraham Lincoln wob elected
president because ho believed In "equal
rights to nil and special privilege to
none," Ho wns tho great friend and
leader of tho common people. He sym
pathized with the unfortuunto and gave
courage aud hopo to tho struggling
masses everywhere. But if Lincoln
wore living today would he be n sup
porter of tho republican cnudidate and
tho policies for which ho stands! Would
ho oppose tho election of United States
senators by direct vote of the people f
Would ho opposo a pure ballot and the
publicity of campaign expenses f Would
ho opposo the right of the people of the
different Btntcs to make their owu laws
for the government of their locnl affairs
through tho initiative and referondumf
Would ho oppose a proposition granting
to tho laboring man tho right of trial
by jury tho same ns is nccorded to the
lowest criminal f Would ho believe in
giving full sway to the trusts and other
great combinations of wealth, or would
ho favor legislation looking to their
regulation in tho Interest of tho people!
A nod, finally, if tho gieat emancipator
were alive today, how would ho stand
on the paramount issue of the campaign,
Shall tho people rule!''
Those aro quostions that should' bo
cnrefully considered beforo ensting your
ballot for tho republican candidate.
Oregon todny is tho pvido of tho nation
on account of its recent legislation hi
tho interests of better government
Sinco tho adoption of thoso measures
of reform tho stato has received more
fnvornblo notice than over beforo in
all its history. Do you want to take n
step backward f Do you want a mnn
for president who is opposed to all
your reform legislation f Tf you do,
then vote for Taft. Ho is opposed to
this aud cv,cry other stato running its
own affairs, being n firm believor in
a centralized form of government, and
ho is stronglyand unequivocally against
the initiative nnd referendum. Should
he bo elected the new members of the
supreme court whom ho shall select will
share his views on these vital questions,
and they would have it in their power
nnd very likely would declaro all those
moasures of reform to be unconstitutional.
Compare the Platforms.
To those who nro still in doubt ns
to winch enndidato is tho moro deserv
ing of their suffrage and which one
stands for good principles and for better
conditions for the people of tho country
would suggest that they carefully
read nnd compare the platforms of the
two grent pnrties.
William Jennings Bryan believes in
the-pcoplo, in the lending champion of
their rights, nnd believes that they
should rule, Ilo is before the people
today for the highest office within thoir
gift because more than forty millions
of men, women and children believe
in his leadership.
