The paring contract provides for hard surface pave

MOTOR CAR
The installation of motor car service by the Southern
Pacific gives the Rogue River valley the best car service
in its history It is new possible to visit any town in the
valley in either direction and return after a short stay.
The schedule provided by regular trains and the motor
ear will prove most convenient to residents of southern
Oregon and adds another advantage to life in this pleasant
valley.
The Southern Pacific is to be congratulated on its pro
'gressiveness, andits evident desire to accommodate its
patrons.

WIDOW 10 WED

Loses Out.
PARIS, March 20. Boni do Cas
tellane, divorced husband of Anna
Gould, former Princess Do Sagnn
and now Duchess do Talleyrand, re
cently offered to marry Baroness
Vaughn, widow of tho late King
Loopold of Bojgium, according to
unquestioned authority today. Boni
was flitly rejected.
Friends of Count Boni believe that
the volatile De Castcllane sought to
replenish a somowhat flattened

purse by an alliance' with' Leopold's
widow.
Boni is up for re-election to the
chamber of deputies this year, and it
is said that he has nothing with
which to make a fight for the place.
His only asset is his title, and ac
ording to society's statistics the
ssatrimonial market at the present
time is extremely dull.
Boni was awarded a tidy sum re
cently by tho courts under a con
tract entered into by Anna Gould
before her marriage to him, whereby
Miss Gould promised to pay her
prospective husband a stated marri
, age portion yearly. The "sum, how
evor, takon in consideration with tho
Boni menage, is paltry.

DENY POWERS IN
SECRET ALLIANCE
Austrian Diplomats Openly Show
Chagrin at Their Failure to Keep
Russia Out of the Balkans Fed
eration Is Wanted.
VIENNA, Austria, March 20. Tho
report that Russia and Austria had
made a secrot agreement concerning
Balkan affairs was discredited today
when government officials announc
ed that there was no agreement and
probably would not bo any reached
for some time to come.
Austrian diplomats openly show
their chagrin and disappointment at
their failure to secure Russia's
promise to ceaso from interfering m
tho Balkans.
It is common knowledge that Aus
tria was planning to "interfere" by
working out plans for its expansion
to the southwest.
Just as it was believed that this
purpose had beon accomplished, a
semi-official statement reached hero
from Sty Petersburg that Czar Nich
olas favored a Balkan federation and
hoped that Turkey would join it.
It is known that Czar Ferdinand of
Bulgaria wants a federation of tho
same sort, and he is a close friond
of Nicholas.
Ferdinand suid recently that noth
ing ho fears so much as on under
standing between Russia and Aus
tria, because it would paralyze, tho
federation.
A prominent official close to tho
Austrinl throno said today that it
appears that Russia is trying to help
the Balkan states become strong
enough to resist Austrian aggression.
Ho assumed that Foreign Minister
Isvolsky of Russia is trying by dou
ble dealing and delay to prevent
Austria from accomplishing anything
in tho noxt two years, when Russia
probably will be in a position to nc
fivoly assist tho stntcs against Aus
tria. Then it ib expected, in tho light of
today's developments, that .Russia
will come forward and openly defy
Austria in connection with her polioy
in the Balkans.

COMMUNICATION.
To tho Editor:
The outrageous graft of tho Amer
ican Ice company has forced tho na
tion's agents at Washington to go
into tho ico business for themselves.
Our agents asked the ice company
for bids twice last spring and got
the samo offer each timo on frozen
water. The rato was approximately
a ton. Tho treasury departmcut
was not satisfied with this and in
stalled au ico machine in the base
ment of tho postofficc building. Thoy
fouud, after running the machino oue
week, that during that time tho aver
ago cost of producing ico was 00
cents a ton. The trraft of S0.40 ner
ton is so patent that our agents in
tend to install tho machino. The dis
patch says tunt at tho noxt session
of congress probably a bill will be
introduced to erect a national ice
factory.
The graft is still harder on the
public, declares the dispatch, as the
average price of ico in tho District
of Columbia to the consumers is .$8
a ton. I will submit tho above as
sufficient evidence to sustain the
predictions frequently declared by
the Socialists. Thnt is that competi-
tion forced the croat combiuos.
"sometjmes called trusts," into, ex
istence; and, in turn, as competition
is a hard master to serve, tho great
companies were compelled to invent
and bring into existence tho trusts.
The trusts nro composed of one man
or more. Thomas W. Lawson says
there is no one supposed to know
who they are. They nro something
like tho American Investment com-
pnny.
When their representative appear
ed befofo tho court to obtain a fran
chise, in Juckson county, he wns
asked who the members of his com
pany were. Ho said that ho did not
know who they were. The trusts
have to do nil the hidden work that
competition has 'compelled those
great combines and mergers to have
done; thoy have to see that all the
offices of any import are controlled
by large shareholders of those com
bines and mergers.
They (tho trusts), when it is ne
cessary, whisper in all or any offi
cers' ears from tho president down,
tolling thorn what to do. So we- So-
c-iuiiHis ucciaro mat 'tne immense
robbery, comically called grafting
(it is not grafting fruit trees, either)
wjll compel tho nations of the world
in the very near futuro to nccopt So
cialism. Tho great inennco of those
combines is already driving the neo
pie into Socialism by the thousands.

CHANCE PEEVED BECAUSE
KLING IS NOT REINSTATED
MEMPIlfs, Tonn., March 20.-
Frnnk Chance, manager of tho Chi

cause holdout Catcher Johnny Kling
hns not yet been reinstated by tho
national commission and his applica

Chnnco was so peeved that he took
n little shot at Bnn Johnson, ehnir
mnn of the national commission.
"Bnn Johnson does not want
Kling to got into condition by the
timo tho season opcns,"vsnid Chnnco.
Ho did not say just why Johnson did
not want Kling in tho game.
Chance believes tho application
will bo granted, but that his star

WHY YUUH MtLr .
IS ESSENTIAL TO
THE LIBRARY
4.
It hns often been Hinrirested mid
even advised that donations o $100'JI8! Alice llopkinn, removed tho pa-
...... '
or more be, solicited irom somo ul
our lending, open-honrtod citizens'
for tho library project, nnd with this
fund to immediately begin operations
for a public library that is, nn in
stitution for tho benefit of nil.
No nlthpiiKh tho jieeessnry
amount could undoubtedly bo pro
cured from those snrno men, who
have already demonstrated their
Konorosity for tho people's comfort
nnd improvement, tho burden must
not bo iinpoeod on a few. Tho li
brary is essentially a democratic in
stitution. It is designed for nil sorts
nnd conditions of inon nnd hence
needs tho aid of all tho people. The
public library hns boon called tho
"flower of modern forms of co-op-orntion."
Thonco it must hnvo tho
henrty support of each citizen. On
no other basis can it hnvo a suro and
lnsting foundation. It must bo re
garded as just ntt ossentinl a pnrt of
our system of public nnd frco odu
cation as our school system. In thta
nspect it is only right nnd just that
it bo supported by a general public
tax and not by donntions nnd of
forts of a few.
Let each one of us ask himself
nnd nnswor honestly, "Am I not en
joying tho benofits of tho library
which is now supported by tho In
dies of the Greater Medford club 7
IIow much encourngomont hnvo I
ever given either of word, timo or
monoy to show my appreciation T"
Therefore, wo feel that any plan
by which overy mnn, woman nnd
child of Medford may have tho op
portunity to contributo to tho li
brary support will bo most glndly re
ceived. Wo of Medford recognize
that our present success nnd pres
tige are due to tho fact thnt more
than nny other town in tho west, wo
hnvo succeeded in securim? nlwavs
tho hctivo nnd practical co-operation
ni tho whole peoplo m all our public
minim.
In tho whole people now wo nro to
find the support of our library pro
ject.
