To the chagrin and disappointment of many of his supporters, Joseph Simon, Portland's new mayor, an nounces a continuance of the closed town policy inaugu rated by Mayor Lane. There will be no restricted district, no gambling will be permitted and saloons will be strin gently regulated- The Oregonian, which fought every move made by Lane and ridiculed his every effort, ap plauds Simon's announcement. Mr. Simon's way has been made easier by Lane's efforts. Harry fLarne, all things" considered, made a good mayor for Portland, and left the city in far better "shape than he found it. He had the opposition of a corrupt city coun cil, was constantly abused and misrepresented by two of the three newspapers of Portland, and his vetoes of fran chise grabs and steals saved the taxpayers many a dollar and would have saved more had the council not frequently overridden them.. Mr. Simon will have the support of the newspapers, of the council and other city, officials and in following Lane's footsteps ought to lie able to accomplish far more. If he doesn't, he will have only himself to blame. SAN FRANCISCO WANTS DIAZ TO MEET TAFT SAN FRANCISCO, July 13.

This shows the cost ol the gravity system to bo aomo $'2H'J, 100. Iiul with incidental expenses, which will include n right of way across the Hiinlcy premises, tho build ini; of H telephone linn, and tho like, tho cost will come very close t i $300,000, which with thu distribut ing system will make the total cost of Modford's water supply nearly $500,000. Tho income from the present sys tem in Mi'dlord Is approximately $11,000 n yenv. Thiu " ill be inereim ed to nt least $30,0ti0 when the sys tem is completed. When one cuts from the total cost the amounts which have been paid in the past, such its for the oltl system, it can easily be figured that the city will brenk even nnd will be ithln to pity interest and set aside it sinking fund for the retirement of the bonds. A source of pure water for n citv is one of its greatest assets. No city can thriw mid be iorly equip K'd in this direction. Medford litis realized this and n water system sen. ond to none is the result. And the system was pot built for today alone. Ample provision has been made for the future the supply is adequate for a city of 25,000 people.
