It finds that the construction of a pipeline through his property would work "irreparable injury" to the cattle ranch, though a jury, who viewed the premises, assessed the daamge at $650. Medford faces a serious situation. A year of effort has been wasted, and the problem is no nearer solution than a year ago. All the work must bo done over again. There is no doubt but that tho right of way can be eventually secured, that another jury will place nominal damages upon the property, that another appeal will bo taken to the sirpreinc on some technicality and another Avinter go by before decision and still other appealsfol low. A holdup program gnu be successfully carried out with the aid of the law's delay indefinitely. "With the suit for condemnation is mixed up tho suit brought by Mr. Hauley against the city to compel the municipality to cany out the contract made with him for Wasson canyon water, wherein the council contracted for 250 inches for $25,000, and the people repudiated the con tract at the polls. If the condemnation suit doesn't pro duce technicalities enough, the damage suit will. It is good public policy, good business policy, good health policy;, to settle this water controversy, and settle it now not waste any more timo in lawsuits. Medford must have water, must complete its water system, must end the present conditions. It will cost the city more to waste time in litigation than it will cost to- settle with Mr. Hanley, even though it be a "holdup game," as niauy believe. Within ten years the city will need the additional water purchased, any way, and it will then be worth double its cost. BEAUTIFY YOUR STREET. BOOSTERS ON BLOCK DAY Citizens who contracted with ladies of the Greater Medford club for shade trees to be planted in front of their homes are strangely lacking in public spirit, when they refuse, as some have done, to accept the trees. "Toll us nboiit tlila Ulock Day scheme? Wlint Is It nil about?" quor led Mr. Justarrlrcd Eastornor. "Ia It soino got-rlchqutck, doublo-your-wlhl-cattorT" "Not so: bellovo mo," replied Mr. Ullthcsomo noostor, as ho buttonhol ed Mr. Easterner, "but It Is ono ot tho best Investments with surest roturus imyono over had tho opportunity ot grasping."' "Do toll," gasped Mr. Easterner, mentally plunging somo ot hla sbeckels Into this Koldon opportunity about to bo presented to him. "Now, In tho first plnco, tho surest thing about this Block Day plan Is that It Is backed up by tho Indies ot our Groator Medford cluball hus tlers nro born, not made, and these ladles aro hustlers of tho gonutno brand.

"An envolop with 'For Library Fund' on It will bo loft at each house In town and will bo colloctod with Its contribution, next Monday evening, April 25, by tho ladles. Now you know," concluded Mr. Uoostor, "that any amount Invested In a library speculation will bo tripled In social and Intellectual returns to this town." "Sure thlngl I'm In for tho Ulock Day," said Mr. Easterner, as ho walk ed down Main street, a gladder and a wiser man. BURNS AND LANGF0RD TO MEET IN SEPTEMBER SAN FRANCISCO, Oil., April 20.

They have repeatedly notified prop erty owners that the trees were ready for delivery, have even carried the trees in their autos to the various places, only in some instances to have them refused. Avenues of shade trees should line each street. Theyi not ordy improve the looks of the property, but increase its value, as land on a shaded street is worth more than land on treeless streets. Trees add to the attractiveness of homes and cities, and a city grows faster and is more desirable with many shaded avenues. Grape street, Holly street, Ivy street, North Central avenue, East Main and other streets, now! treeless, ought all to be planted. The ladies of the Greater Medford club are doing a great work in trying to beautify Medf ord. They have un- selfishly spent and are spending much time and energy i jn improving the appearance of dingy streets and trans-j forming the crude village into the city beautiful, and de serve the hearty co-operation and support of everyone. Those who withhold it should be ashamed. The city charter should be amended so as to give the council the authority to force shade tree planting on all streets, and a program of compulsory beautification car ried out.

' 'That portion of Lane ocunty In cluded in tho proposed county of Neemlth has never named a county judge, and it has been twenty-four years since it had a county commis sioner. The Douglas territory taken sever had either a Judge or commis sioner. And yet some people wondor why the people of that section are so anxious to create a new couaty. Coming events cast their shadows ahead. The gen eral protest against the Taft tariff, the unhorsing of Uncle Joe, the success of the insurgents, the election of demo crats to congress, the retirement of Hale and Aldrich, all symptoms of the revolt against the administration and its policy, indicate probable insurgent success in the coming congressional elections. The overwhelming victory of James, S. Havens at Roch ester Tuesday, over a republican in a strong republican district; democratic, success in Massachusetts a few weeks ago, under similar circumstances, show the extent of pub lic resentment against the now tariff. The people do not agree with Mr. Taft when he says the tariff law is a "good law." They do not accept his complacent view of the work of the old leaders and stand-patters. They do not sanction broken pledges. Hale and Aldrich see the handwriting on the wall and so are getting out of the way of the coming storm. TJncle Joe still continues to splutter and swear, an Ajax defying the lightning, but it will strike him, put him out of power. The old regime is passiang away. The spirit of political independence is abroad. The republican stalwarts pro claim the republican insurgents democrats and read them out of the party organization, and nobody knows what con stitutes a democrat.
