Government Ownership In

Will Be Eebuffed.
Washington, P. C Sept. 24. Already
lines are being drawn for a battle royal
whlth will occur In congress this Win
ter over further railroad regulation re
forms, which President Roosevelt will
urge. The movement on the part of
certain railroad men to come to an un
dnretandlng with each other and their
colleagues, and with the president, has
failed and there will be a renewal of
the tactics of the last congress designed
to take the sting out of President
Roosevelt's recommendations. In an
ticipation of a struggle, both, sides are
preparing for the campaign of educa
tion.
It has developed that the president
recently sent an official to Europe to
investigate methods of regulating railroads-
In England and on the continent.
and especially in Oermany and other
countries owning lines. It Is the purpose
of the president upon receipt of this
information to Insert it in Lis annual
message.
Conservative forces In congress have
sent men to Europe on a like mission.
and the latter will be depended upon to
Show conditions which will cause the
people to halt In favoring the enactment
of any legislation which might tend to

(Special DUpttcb to The Journal.)
Medford. Or., Sept. 24. Medford,
Jacksonville Central Point and Ooid
Hill spent the first dry day In their
history Sunday, as the result of Sheriff
Jackson's reform crusade.
For 60 years the lid has been off In
the Rogue River valley, and the Inno
vation was not taken kindly to by tho
majority or citizens. Tne sheriff and
his deputies spent a busy day looking
for violators of the closing edict, but
none were found. To aggravate the sit
uation, the day was one of the hottest
of the year.
The attempt to contest the slot ma
chine removal order resulted In a flr.ile.
The cigar dealer who volunteered to
make a test case ot cold feet, and In
stead of fighting the case as agreed
upon, abjectly surrendered, pleaded
guilty and paid 110 fine, promising to
be good. The test may vet be made.
because of a conflict between the cltv's
charter and the state law.
