The engineers have found route that will give them a t per cent grais, ana inunra ia iuku wina its most difficult reaches between Port land and (Un VranctBcO. which will effect a, lessening of the running time - ef overland trains by about three hours. The changes of the route occur between .". Medford and the Klamath river. The preeent grade Is 2.SS per cent. - . Th a mw Hint, m.lr.a 4 nnaslhls to .'.-; eliminate the many loops by. which the Southern Paclfle now reaches the sum mi at the fltaklvaua. It will enable the . road to get through the summit with a tunnel two mllea long, while to secure ,' an equally easy grade by the present . route it would be necessary to tunnel ; four miles. ' . ; "' ' ' . JTew Tnnael ytopueea. f The proposed new tunnel is to be nn der the southeast' spur of Ashland butte, and nearly 1,000 feet below the crest of the ridge. From the summit ' the- road would run by Wagner creek divide, on easy grades, and intersect the present line of the Southern Pacific at a point between Tallant and Phoenix. The new route lies through a magnifi cent body of Pine timber, and tt Is said great development of sawmill Interests at and southwest of Medford would fol low Its construction. It would also lead to the construction of a branch line into the extensive copper country to which Dr. J. F. Reddy and others are now giving attention. Open Slew ttisMots. ' .'- There are known to be Immense clnna- bar depoelta In the regions of the north ern California line, not far from the pro posed route, and these would also be tapped. The opening of these rich dis tricts and the construction of the Med ford A- Crater Lake road into the great sugar pin belt on upper Rogue river will, it is said, make Medford one of the principal cities of western Oregon, and one of the leading lumber markets. : It is reported at Medford that the ' Southern Paclflo has secured an option on 100 acres of land north of that place for roundhouse and division point facili ties, and that Included in its plana is a pipe line from Butte creek to Medford by which an ample supply of pure moun- tain water may -be secured. The city council of Medford has been approached .for a franchise and 'contract to supply the city .with water, which is a public convenience much desired by cltlsens, as the present city water ia not used for drinking purposes. It is said that Presi dent Bsrnum, of the Medford Jack sonville road. Is trying to get sn option from the Southern Psclflo on the old line between Medford and Ashland. MAYOR WANTS CARS KEPT : OFF CROSSINGS r r ' .. Says Policemen Who Can't Make - 'Care Move Are Not Worth t Their Shoe Leather. ' While the police committee of the city executive board was trying Patrolman W. F. Teevln yesterday afternoon for neglect ef duty. Mayor Lane took oc casion to censure severely the officials of the Oregon Water Power Railway company for standing their cars on First street over crossings, thus comDelllnc people to wade through the mud In go ing around them. The charges against the policeman -t.w f.w-va.w V J ,11, WUV IHW ordered Teevln to notify the motorman ii vr laimiua; vn ini crossing . , at First and Washington streets, Oc tober . to pull up his car. The mayor ., said Teevln spoke to the conductor but that the car did not move until he had walked more than a block, when the motorman pulled his car over the cross ing at First and Alder streets so that ' pedastrlans were fcroedta paddle around the car In the mud. The mayor atated that the policeman did not compel the carman to art nromntlv. . -.

Jonee and Assistant Superintendent B. . F. Boynton, of the . railway company, testified In behalf of the policeman. They all admitted that the car had been across the crossing. "What we are trying to get at," aald Thomas . Greene, "i - why did not the of fleer pull the conductor for not pulling . the aT when ordered."

"We are having juet auch trouble la getting a little Juice into our " officers as the ear company has to get juice Into Its cars. It was the duty of this officer to have made the car move tin.
