SINGLER LAID TO REST
Funeral of IaUe Sheriff Held Satur
day and Many Followed
Reinuins to Cemetery.
JUDGE DISCUSSES ATTACKS.
With business In Medford entirely
suspended, the last tribute was paid
by a vast concourse of friends to
August D. Slngler Saturday, who was
shot down In the performance of his
duty as sheriff of Jackson county.
Hundreds of people attended the last
services over the mortal remains,
-while every business house In town;
from bank to cigar stands, was
closed. A funeral cortege nearly
twelve blocks in deiigth accompanied
him from the church In the last trip
to the cemetery.
. The services were held in the
Catholic church, of which he was a
member, Father O'Farreil officiating.
The local lodges of which he was a
member escorted the remains from
the undertaking parlors to the
church. Local members of these or
ders were out in force, while their
ranks were swelled by members from
other towns in the valley. County
officials were all present as well as
the city officials of Medford, includ
ing the entire police force and mem
bers of the local fire department.
Father O'Farreil conducted the
solemn funeral services of the church
and then paid a glowing tribute to a
man who sacrificed his life rather
than falter in the performance of his
duty. He spoke of Slngler's great
devotion to his family and of the
many sterling qualities which se
cured for him the respect of all with
whom he came in contact. Appropri
ate and beautiful music was ren
dered. The floral offerings were so pre
fuse that difficulty was experienced
In transferring them to the cemetery.
The organizations of which he was a
member all sent elaborate floral
pieces, while hundreds of friends sent
flowers.
So great was the crowd at the
church that only half could be ac
commodate, while hundreds stood
along the course of the funeral cor
tege with bared heads.
The pall-bearers were; L. L
Jacobs, T. E. Pottenger, Con Cady,
representing the Elks; Guy Connor,
Martin J. Reddy, John Wilkinson,
representing the Knights of Colum
bus; F. E. Martin, W. T Shoults,
representing the R$jmen; J. M. Rig
gins, Ben Garnett, representing the
Modern Woodmen; T. A. Howell and
J. T. Broadley, representing the
Moose.
ine organizations in line were:
The Elks, Knights of Columbus, Red
men, Woodmen, Moose, fire depart

and county officials.
10,000 From Frozen Northland Look
'' ing Toward Oregon asKTheir''
.' Promised Land. '-'
Portland, "" April " 26". Willamette
valley and southern Oregon may re
ceive an" increased population1' of ral
ly iO.OOO thrifty people through one
single exodus of farmers from Can
ada alone, in the u'ext year tor' two.1 ;
A delegation of ; four, well-to-do
landowners of Saskatchewan province
is conducting a quiet 'investigation of
the Willamette, 'Umpqua and Rogue
River valleys, as the representatives
of more than 3,500 Canadian fanners
who are desirous of joining one vast
immigrative movement to Oregon. .
In case the delegates now in this
state find that the prices of lands in
the territory tributary to Portland
markets are reasonable, that the
transportation facilities arg adequate
and that the markets are of easy ac
cess, this unprecedented horde of
new settlers will make arrangements
to dispose of their Canadian lands
and come to Oregon as soon as possi
ble. It is estimated on good author
ity that with the families and chil
dren of these farmers it will mean a
new population of at least 10,000
and probably nearer 12,000.
The four delegates are being con
ducted through the Willamette val
ley by W. H. Jenkins, traveling pas
senger agent of the Southern Pacific,
and will gather their data . from
which to base their recommendations
from the sections tributary to Salem,
Albany, Corvallis, Eugene, Roseburg
and Grants Pass. ,
They arrived here the first of the
week and departed on this tremen
dously significant mission Wednes
day night. They were provided with
letters of introduction to the leading
bankers of the cities named, these
letters being furnished by Emery
Olmstead, chairman of the agricul
tural committee of the Oregon State
Bankers' Association, and the Can
adians will make their preliminary
survey of the western Oregon terri
tory through conferences with these
bankers, one of whose principal func
tions is to be thoroughly familiar
with what constitutes fair values for
farm lands in the communities they
serve.
Chairman Olmstead a?so wrote
personal letters to these financiers
advising them or the purpose of the
investigating tour of, the Saskatche-
an farmers. The most important
phase of the situation is that the
visiting delegates will have nothing
whatever to do with real estate op
erators during their stay in the Ore
gon valleys. They will be put in
touch with the actual landowners,
big or little tracts, directly upon the
recommendations of the bankers in
these various cities, and will deal
directly with owners.
Inasmuch as several different sec
tions are being investigated, it nat
urally behooves the bankers in the
different localities to make the best
possible showing to the committee.
In dealing with owners 'at first
hand, not only will inflated prices
and exorbitant commissions be avoid
ed, but the Canadians will be able to
get much more reliable information
about the soil, drainage, rainfall,
kinds of crops, etc., than they could
by resorting to the glowing pam
phlets of the. realty broker.
The moving cause in bringing the
Saskatchewans down here is the hard
and severe struggle they have had
against the inhospitable climate of
the north, the short seasons and the
narrow limits to the character of the
crops that can be raised.
This movement is further interest
ing for the reason that it is the pre
liminary step toward the future off!
cial activities of the Oregon State
Bankers' Association in assisting in
marketing agricultural lands of the
state at reasonable prices and on easy
terms in co-operation with the com
mercial bodies of the different cities
of the state. .,
Oliver Wendell ' Holmes, Gives Tm?ir
Side.
- Washington,' April i0.- Ho the
supreme court of" the United States,
or at least one member of it, views
the present' day criticisms'-' of the
courts 'Is set forth in a speech by
Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, made
public today in' the form of a senate
public ''doeumeht. Justice' Holmes j
delivered the speech recently at a
private ''dinner in New York'. -
1 Science' has'tauglit the world skep- j
ticism, the Justice said by way of i
preface, and1 made it legitimate to j
put everything to the test' of proof, j
"Of course, we are not excepted," j
he said, referring to the 'supreme j
court. "Not only-are we fold that i
when 'Marshall p onounced an act of .
congress unconstitutional he usurped j
power that the constitution - did- not ;
give,' but we are told that" we arej
representatives of a class--a tool of j
the money power. I get lotters,' not j
always anonymous, intimaiing that
we are corrupt. ' ' '
" "Well, gentlemen, I admit that it
makes my heart ache. It is very
painful when one -spends ali the en
ergies of on's soul in trying to do
good work, with no thought but that
of solving a problem according to
the rules by which one is bound, to
know that many see sinister motives
and would be glad of evidence that
one was consciously bad. , But we
must take such things philosophical
ly and try and see what w-a can learn
from hatred and disgust, f.nd wheth
er behind them there may not be
some germ of inarticulate truth."
The attacks upon the court, the
justice added, "are merely an .ex
pression of the unrest that seems to
wonder vaguely whether law and or
der pay."
"It cannot be helped it is as it
should be that the law is behind
the times," declared Justice Holmes.
As law embodies beliefs that have
triumphed in the battle of ideas and
then' have transplanted themselves
Into action, where there still is
doubt, while opposite convictions
s'ill keep a battle front against each
other, the time for law has not
come; the notion destined to prevail

In connection with the discussion i
of premature law, he expressed the

- ' Just so the good house wife digs from the hidden corners of the home, the winters :acqtffn-

Boosts Southern Oregon.
Portland Oregonian: "The at
mond trees are in full bloom in
southern Oregon, and the fruit-trees
-will soon be full-fledged with blos
soms," said Adjutant-General Finzer
having Just returned from a trip to
Ashland on business connected with
the erection of a new armory there
"The Rogue River Valley is green
and beautiful, and I don't believe
that I have ever seen a more pleas
ing sight than the view from Ash
land out across the valley.
"The armory, which is now ready
for the roof, is a splendid reinforced
concrete structure, and when com
pleted will be a handsome building
of which the people of Ashland,
city of many handsome buildings,
may well be proud."

Don't Forget our Paints and Paper Department
A little new paint and paper adds materially to house cleaning
effects. You will be surprised at what little cost the living or bed
room can be made clean and spank by a little touch of paint, or
covering the walls with one of our new spring patterns of paper.
a "vague terror went over the earth
and the word socialism began to be
heard," fear was translated by judges
into doctrines that had no proper
place in the constitution or the com
mon law.
"Judges are apt to be naive,, sim
ple-minded men and they need some
thing of Mephistopheles," observed
the justice.
Justice Holmes concluded by say
ing that as he grew old, he grew
calm, and predictedjhat competition
from new races will cut deeper in the
future than workingmen s disputes
and will test whether "wa can hang
together and fight."
"I do not pin my dreams for the
future to my country or oven to my
race," he said. "I think it probable
that civilization somehow will last
as long as I care to look ahead. I
think it not improbable that man,
like the grub that prepares a cham
ber for the winged thing it never has
been but is to be, that man may have
cosmic destinies that he does not un
derstand. And so beyond the vision
of battling races and an impover
ished earth I catch a dreaming
glimpse of peace."
Haff Gets Mines.
Gold Hill News: The final hear
ing of the contest case concerning
the Haff group of mining claims on
Sardine creek was held before United
States Commissioner Canon at Med
ford Monday afternoon. In depart
mental litigation for several years
the rights of P. P. Lang, a resident
of Idaho, timber entry upon the lands
concerned were effectually disposed
of. Numerous witnesses were called
to demonstrate the mineral character
of the quarter section, and before
half of these had testified Lang's at
torney gave, up the .fight, acknowl
edging the failure of his client to
make a case. Lang did not appear in
person, and a decision was rendered
which securely establishes Mr. Haff
and his associates in , possession of
the coveted ground. '- .

One portion of the Medford irriga
tion flying squadron was in Ashland
Saturday afternoon. . They were here
in the interests of the high line ditch
and assert that water from Fish lake
can be put onto Bear creek lands up
to the 2,000-foot level. Their work
they state is in no' conflict with the
proposed scheme to irrigate 8,000
acres from Keene creek, but will
supplement that.
Mr. Conner, who was with the
party, 6tated that an English com
pany which has become Interested in
the matter has offered to finance the
canal, providing the neceisary acre
age can be signed up on such terms
that it will not be necessary to pay
any portion of the $50 per acre in
the first three to five years, and the
total payments will be spread over
twenty years at 6 per cent. The
maintenance fee will be $2.50 per
acre, payable annually.
Those In this city Saturday were
W. J. Mundy, D. R. Wood and G. W.
Conner of Medford, and T. H. Jack
son "of Jackson county."
They stated that the water from
Fish lake, Four Mile lake and the
connecting watershed was sufficient
to irrigate 95,000 acres, but that
they only Intended to irrigate 55,-
000, and would start work if 20,000
acres is signed up at once"" They also
state that they have practically
signed up the Watte lands on Bear
creek opposite Ashland.
Dr. E. B. Pickel of Medford has
written the following regarding the
use of wats on Rogue rive. lands:
"Will the use of water pay in the
Rogue River Valley?
"This should be a pervading ques
tion in the mind of every citizen in
this sectior. cf Oregon. To analyze:
The mean preclptation during the
past 24 years for the six months be
ginning wjth the first day of April
and ending with September is 5.64
inches, ranging from the minimum
of 2.71 inches in 1903 to a maxi
mum of 10.42 inches in 1912.
"The requirements for a maximum
crop yield during this season of six
months, granting a proper distribu
tion, ranges from 10 to 15 inches
according to variety of products
grown. The cereals, including
wheat, oats and barley, will do well
with, a precipitation -of 10 inches,
while corn will do better with 12
and alfalfa with 15 inches. The
truck gardener will need his 15
Visit inches and small fruits may be placed
in the same class.
"Now let us turn our attention
to one of the most Important factors
In our future prosperity the pear
and apple. The pear being a compar
atively early fruit in its maturity
will reach perfection, in ordinary
soil, with a water supply of 10
inches, while apples, after reaching
the full bearing stage, will demand
no less than 15 inches.
"Proper distribution of our aver
age rainfall cannot be expected, con
sequently our deficiency Is greater
than our mean of 5.64 inches would
indicate. The fact is self-evident
that in order to have a full yield we
must make up this deficiency, rang
ing from 5 to 10 Inches, from some
artificial source, and the only feas
ible means of obtaining this is
through the medium of a general
system of Irrigation. s
"Some have advanced the argu
ment that certain soils do not re
quire more water, being naturally
supplied , by sub-irrigation. This
area is. so limited we may pass it
without further notice. Where is
your garden spot that does not de
mand an almost daily supply? The
feeding roots of the pear and apple
trees rarely extend below 12 inches,
and your sub-irrigation would have
to run shallow indeed to be benefi
cial. "Another trite phrase is that in
fticky' you can make mud balls at
pny season of the year. I would an
swer yes, and at the same time your
trees have stopped growing, your
fruit is small of size and immature
through lack of moisture. Having
used water on various kinds of sticky
I know this to be true.
"Does it pay to irrigate? One
acre irrigated is worth three without
it This will be verified by the divi
dends of tho future.
"E. B. Pickel."
Representative Moore Defends Payne
Tariff Bill. .
Washington, April 25. During his
speech on the Underwood tariff bill
in the house today, Representative
Moore of Pennsylvania put over a
"tariff catechism." He had the clerk
of the house read questions tracing
the history of tariff legislation,
Moore furnishing the answers.
"Why was the Payne bill passed?"
asked the clerk. '
"Because the -democrats continu
ally misrepresented the tariff ques
tion," Moore answered.
"Did It revise the tariff down
ward?" "It did, and equalized many du
ties." ' "If the people enjoyed wonderful
p-ogress under the Payne law why-
did they complain?"
"They listened to ambitious poli
ticians, . conscienceless , agitators,
journals with axes to grind, maga
zine essayists who 'found 'it more
profitable to write fiction than to
work, theoretical college professors,
non-producers and a few sincere re
formers who were misinformed and'
misled."
"What is the Underwood bill?"
"A bill Introduced by Representa
tive Oscar Underwood, tho exponent
In the house of President Woodrow
Wilson's theories."
