"r - in1 Bankruptcy.
Irge land holders of the Medford .Ir

over the signature of five " farmers'
whose; lands lie In the district. ' Owners

the writers. :r M '--- rr-
Stating that the Installation - of the
proposed system would-require an issue
of approximately $1,500,000 of. bonds,
the letter declares - that this ' w;ould re
sult In the practical bankruptcy of the
people In the district. ' The writers state
that they will oppose the Issue , with
every -possible; effort. The letter reads
In part: -.' ; .
i "We wish to call attention, to the fact
that in the Medford Irrigation district,
which ' comprises in the neighborhood
of 20,000 acres, the land is of. a clay
character, and, that it has produced for.
(0 years or, more large and abundant
yields of grain and alfalfa without the
aid of Irrigation, such crops yield mg
each' year on an average not less than
25 bushels of wheat, 40 bushels of bar
ley, two tons of vetch, and four tons
ef alfalfa. I . '
"For 15 rears or more a nrivate irri
gation system has existed In this dis
trict, but practically none of the farm
ers have used water from it, and it has
been demonstrated conclusively that the
use of such - water . has not resulted - in
any material increased yield. The land
here cannot be compared with the lands
around Klamath Falls, which are of
Volcanic ash formation, where irriga
tion Is Indispensable to the production
ef crops. .. 'i
v -"Almost without exception the per
sons who are opposing this project are
men -who own. thejr farms, and have
them, paid ior, anq are out or dent and
prospering from farming their land, and
they have made, are , making and will
make a very substantial and satisfac
tory return from such operations with
out the aid of Irrigation. We are ab
solutely satisfied that ; the irrigation

. injury of the farmers - here gen

wound In tha back of the head, re

refused to give the name of his parents,
bis home, or any Information that
would assist the authorities.
Considerable -mystery ls attached to
the' case, but "the police, after thor

are inclined to believe that it was true
and that the man was murdered by
the man who lured him to tha deserted
spot on the pretext of hiring him as a

had been wounded, and his absolute re

of the police that, there was more than
the simple robbery behind the shooting.
Taking a $100 Liberty bond with him,
he met Coy. went with him to a tract
