THE PAVING-
In municipal improvements, as in other things, the
cheapest is not always the best. It is very apt to bo the
snost expensive in the long run. Improvements under the
Bancroft law are paid largely in the future and should be
of sufficient permanency to endure long enough so that
those who pay may enjoy.
This should be borne in mind in letting the street pav
ing contracts and considering the bids. No one knows as
jet what the paving will cost, as the streets have not been
cross-sectioned and the quantities to be removed figured,
.and the city itself provided no estimate of cost. The best
that could be done is an approximate estimate, for no con
iractor can tell what lie can do the work for until he knows
the quantities involved.
Medford has had one object lesson in buying the cheap
est The people chose, when they voted for the Hamilton
JEish Lake water proposition, a wooden main from the city
xeservoir to Roosevelt avenue. They selected it because
it was cheapest. Now, less than a year after it was laid,
it is found inadequate and impractical and must be replac
ed with cast iron pipe. Wood pipe fills the bill for con
duits when there is but slight pressure and few connec
tions, but when there is a heavy pressure, as in the case
of the pipe from the reservoir, it is unsatisfactory.
Those pavements which cost least may be least satis
factory in the long run. The council has plenty of time
to award the contracts and should go at slow speed, lest
haste make waste.
240,000 MINERS
MAY GO ON STRIKE
4f General Strike Is Called April I,
as Is Being Considered, Greatest
Walkout In History is Scheduled
'4s Take Place.
CHICAGO, III, March 10. If a
.general strike of minoworkera in the
&itnminoaa coal fields of the middle
west and Ohio river districts is call
ed on April 1 at least 240,000 miners
will walk out, according to conserf
.ative estimates made by union lead--crs
today.
The following table of ininework--rs
in five states and the western
portion of the Pennsylvania fields,
.prepared by local officials of the
anion, is declared to be ultra-con-rMrvative:
'Ohio, 45,000; Illinois, 55,000;
"Michigan, 7000; Western Pennsyl
vania, 65,000; Iowa, 12,000; Indiana,
20,000. Total, 224,000.
la addition to this number, it is
asserted that at least 10,000 inde
pendent operatives in the affected
district will join the strike. If the
rworkers in the southwestern fields,
j deluding Kansas and Oklahoma,
-lso -strike, nearly 40,000 more min
rra will leave their posts.
OREGON WILL ASSIST IN
BOOSTING IRRIGATION
PUEBLO, Colo., March 10. The
18th national irrigation congress at
Pueblo, September 26-30, 1910, is
assured of the hearty co-operation
snd support of the state of Oregon,
which has itself entertained in re
- cent years this greatest development
agency of tho country.
Governor Benson, writing to the
".board of control, extends his hearty
v gree tine and promise of aid, saying:
Ml beg to advise you that I am in
"hearty accord with the objects of
your organization and, while I can,-
not Btate definitely at this time
whether or not I shall be able to at
tend the sessions of the congress to
!be'held in Your city, I assure you
that I shall be on hand if more im
portant offioial engagements do not
interfere.
"In any event, I shall do every
thing in my power to secure the at
tendance of a large and enthusiastic
delegation of Oregon citizens at. the
congress, and when tho time comes
tei the appointment of delegates I
wall see that Oregon is properly
represented."
One reason why tho most desir
able housos, apartments and rooms
are always advertised is that the
-aaost desirable tenants never take the
trouble to hunt up places that are
sot advertised. .

ROME, March 10. It is reported
here today that J. Pierpont Morgan
probably will 'contribute financial
aid to Professor Rampoldi, of the
University of Pavia, who declares
that he has discovered a care for
cancer.
According to Professor Rampoldi,
he has made a number of experi
ments with his discovery, the major
ity of which, he asserts have been
successful
His treatment consists of making
local applications with an ointment
made from the juiee of a plnntU
grown in India, which the natives
call jaquerry. It is saia the plan
resembles licorice to a marked le
gree.
In addition to cunng cancer, P ro

Professor Rampoldi said that hd

crats and Chairman Norman
E.
Mack of tho Demorcntic national
committee as a probable candidate
for the presidential tiokot in 1012,
Mack admitted today,
The press has carriod a repoij; in
effect that National Committeeman
Rogor Sullivan of Illinois and John
son of Texns aro to be joined by Mr.
Mack at San Antonio, Tex., "to dis
cuss the probable candidacy in 1012
of Mayor Gaynor for president," he
was tol.d.
"That report is unfounded," said
Mr. Mack, "for I have no engage
ment in Texns with the committee
men, but I will say that Mayor Gay
nor is doing tho things that Demo
crauo presidential candidates are
mado of, and ho will be weighed
ca&efnlly when the mntter of cast
ing about for a leader begins."
Many Democrats of the south
have found it convenient to visit Hot

The chairman will remain here
throughout March.
PINCHOT CLOSES
THE PROSECUTION
Ballinger Will Now Havo Chance to
Reply to Many Charges Made
Against Him Fifteen Hundred
Pages of Testimony.
WASHINGTON, I). C, March 10.
Tho "prosecution" in tho UnHinger
investigation before tho congression
al committee practically ends its
easo with the testimouy of former
secretary of the interior Garfield to
day. Already over 1500 pngos of testi
mony havo been printed. Much of
tho evidence is circumstantial and
much doponds largely upon infer
ence. All of the oral testimony except
that of secretary of agriculture Wil
son has been in support of the con
tention of Gifford Pinchot, tho de
posed chief forester, who charged
Ballinger with boing false to his
trust
From tho testimony submitted, tho
attorneys for Pinchot believe that
they have established tho following
contentions which they say tho Bul
lingor witness will bo called upon to
disprove:
"That Ballinger, as commissioner
of the general land office and secre
tary of the interior, hns more than
a 'formal knowledge' of tho Alaskan
coal land investigation.
"That as a commissioner ho di
rected tho final steps for securing
the Cunningham claims, estimnted to
be worth $00,000,000. notwithstand
ing that a few days before he had
directed L. R. Glavis, then field
ngent, to investigate them as to
their fraudulency.
"That while theso steps looking
toward the securing of tho claims
wero authorized on January 4, 1008,
Glavis was not notified until two
days later, barely in time to prevent
tho consnmmation of the pntents."
Found Large Sum. . j
Emmett Moss, son of the late J.
E. Moss of Redding, and brother of
Mrs. Roy Payno of Dunsmuir, found
$755 a day or so ago just as he was j
about to cast ono of his father's!

ruuuisn in me ones ynra.
Tho eldor Moss died December 4
Jast and left no wilt. Emmett was
cleaning np the home premises. He
had thrown several articles of dis
carded clothing in tho firo when he
picked np an old coat of his fathoms
and was about to throw it into the
flames when he noticed some papers
protruding from a pocket. Investigation-
showed that they wero certif
icates of deposit in the Bank of
Northern California- for sums- aggro
gating $755. It was not known be
fore that he had money in tho bank.
The estate was just about to be- set
tled, being appraised for $1100,, and
because this amount was less than
$1500 the whole estate, by law, goes
to the widow. The sum found makes
the estate. exeeed $1800. So under
the law the widow gets only half,
the remainder being distributed
equally among nine children. Duns

I iako grvut plonsuro in testifying
to tho successful results of treat
ment of tho Great For-Don. My sou
Frank Schofield had been a victim of
catarrh for a number of yonra, had
been treated by a uutnbor. of phys-'
icians and taken nearly all remedies j
known to the public, and nil without
satisfactory results. Ho called on
For-Don at Pasadena, Cal., and was
told that ho could bo ourcd. Ho had
littlo fuith, but was induced to make
tho last effort. Much of his ns well
ns to nil lus friends' surprise, ho was
cured and hns had no return of thot
catarrh for nearly two yoars. I
eaniostly suggest thnt nil who are
sufforing frqra catarrh or any other
chronic disease call on these doctors
and place theirselves undor their
trcntmont.

wholesale grocers in which there is
bulletined a committee on rotail
prices. It is asserted that work that
snch a committco would engage in
would be clearly in' violation of th
Ohio anti-trust act. Two mombor
of the committee- live in Ohio and
they aro to be placed on tho witness
stand.
Thomas OTfrien, president of the

changed way of living. Now house
