PIONEER TELLS OF
EARLY IRRIGATION
L. C. Coleman Was First Man to
Aty Water to What Is Known
as "Desert Country" Tells of His
Experiences.
Ij. C. Coleman, ono of tho pioneer
merchants ot Southern Oregon, and
fit III a largo property ownor lioro,
la In Mcdforif looking after his busl
snx Interests.
"I bollovo," said Mr. Coleman,
"that I was among tho first, If not
tho first, man to conceive the Idea
of Irrigation of what was then known
8 tlio "desert country," comprising
at that Umo nearly all the territory
cast of Dear Creek from Medford
to Eagto Point. I took tho mat
ter up personally with tho late Coi
ns V. Huntington at tho Umo when
tho through connection of tho rail
way botween Portland and San Fran
cisco was made In 18S6. Mr. Hunt
ington was very courteous and
seemed Interested In tho Idea of de
veloping this valley, but ho had so
many things to think ot that ho
could not spare tho time. Ho re
ferred me, though, to RIchaid Koeh--ler,
then president of the Oregon
"lines. Upon my representations,
Mr. Kochler and Mr. Mills went over
tho lands, and wero impressed with
tho possibilities of making a garden
spot or the Rogue River Valley. They
Interviewed ono of tho original
knockers, however, and that spoiled
the scheme. 'You can't raise a dls
tnrbanco on that land,' ho said, 'no
saattcr how much water you put on
it. All you'll get will be frogs and
skceters.' Financial and other
matters, along with the knocking,
prevented tho Southern Pacific com
pany from taking hold of the
scheme to irrigate the Roguo River
"Valley. I am not saying. that things
-are Just as well, if not better than
Jf thoy had, but I believe that my
conception for the irrigation of the
so-called desert lands of Jackson Is
the original one."

Commuters between New Eng
land and Now Jersey points have
complained at the action of the rall
Toads in Increasing the rates so that
tho citkets cost from $2 to $5 more
monthly than the former rate. A
suit 1b apt to follow.
Attorney-General Wlckcrsham to
day declared the administration had
4 been urging a law which gives the
Interstate commerce commission
power to investigate rates before
they become effective. He declared
that the roads already cued had en
deavored to keep the rate in
creases Becret until too late for the
shippers to act.
When tho resolution offered by La
lolletto urging Wickersham to en
join tho Western Trunk Lines from
Increasing their rates, was filed
camo up in the senate today. La Fol
letto was not present and action was
deferred. It is probable that the
resolution will bo withdrawn.

WHILE FILLING TANK
PORTLAND, Or., June 2. With
400 transfer teamsters on strike,
Portland is threatened today with a
strike of 300 skilled mechanics em
ployed in local machine shops.
The Machinists' union, one of the

increase of 10 cents a day in the

to equal all other Pacific coast cit
ies. The question of a closed shop
is not mentioned.

VACATIONS, SAYS WILSON
WASHINGTON, D. C, June 2.
"Vacation junkets" to tho national
parks and forest reserves, combined
with business supervision, no longer

Gifford Pinchot inaugurated a policy
of combining tho men's vacation
with an inspection tour of tho for

knowledge of the service.
This year Secretary of Agriculture
Wilson has issued an order that the
men must stay at their desks. When
vacations are allowed the secretary
will supervise all traveling expens6s,

supervision will ho a close ono.
