pity of Medford against litigation, over
.100 inches of water from Little Huttn

TO THE BUSINESS MEN AND VOTEES.
Owing to dissensions und prejudice, the city council was advised to

Now, if Vou vole for the Hamilton gravity proportion, this will be
what you are in favor of, fur Hamilton 1ms not given any guarantee
on wood pipe In his proposition.
Hamilton has been asked by The Tribune a number of times if lie
would guarantee wood pipe, one ye.-n- or lunger. To thin r has made no
reply. Hence if yon vote for the Hamilton proposition yon will have to
take an unguaranteed wood pipe.

Now, if you vote for the Hamilton proposition, you will get a cloudy

penses, much lesa protect Medford in the expenditure of over .::") 0,000 ?
Tho Tribunes has asked a number of times what further guarantee
he will give against litigation, but Hamilton refuses to answer.
The Condor Wnter & Power company slnie plainly wh'it they will do
in their proposition, and they have answered all (pieniions promptly over
their signatures and are bound hot1! by their proposition and their an

The socialists call litem "plnd nil, and 1 guess they are right,

It is reprted that Hamilton hn purchased for the Fish Lake Water
eonipnny the Dick Slinger ranch ami wnter rights of about l.'O inchen of
water. If so. this is a step in Hie right direction, and is much better
than trying to sell something they oi ot own.
Tf they will purchase a few n re water rights, then they may be
tthlo to supply Medford with sufficient water, without litigation.
