Hill Citizen Thought to Foil Bomb Plot The recent bomb plot that has been sweeping over the country and ter rorizing men In almost every stable In the union, has had its effect on the nerves of a well known resident of North Main street, and when, a few days ago, he saw a man emerge from a halted car and run Into the ravine near, the highway, where be furtively hurled a package and beat a haBty retreat, he thought this Inci dent highly suspicious. The North Main street citizen, therefore, visited the spot where the man had thrown the package, and searched for the latter. Sure enough, he unearthed a parcel largj enough to blow Ash land Into smithereens. Gingerly In vestigating the package, while vis ions of securing a Carnegie medal for thus saving the life and property of a whole city, floated thru hlH brain, the erstwhile hero disclosed the wrappings of a well known Call- !,hn h. ,lo.lro nf h nnnMlta on.l the owner of the California bever age had doubtlessly decided to hide the clews of his purchase while the hiding was good. HOPE TO BEGIN ON WATER PROJECT SOON The M'edford Irrigation district nt the May meeting announced the sign- contract with the power company Is ' the result of exhaustive efforts on I 1 panlos to reach a fair agreement.

A final summing up resulted In grant ing to the power company all rights to manufacture electricity upon the canals of the district, while the waters In turn are to be released to the Irrigation district without let or hindrance. It Is the hope of the di rectors of the Irrigation project to bo able to begliTwork within ninety days. Schumann-Heink To Appear On June 18 Tlirn tin efforts of J.
