GRANTS PASS, Or., Juno 7, 1910
To the Editer: I notice In your Is-
-sue of the 5th Inst, an article In which
you say in substance that the attor
-ey general is aiding parties to se
cure water rights on Rosno river det-
Tlxncntal to Irrigation, and calling
"sptm people to protest to the state
engineer, and that tho state engineer
las given out figures detrimental to
irrigation projects other than the one
the attorney general has been aiding
titli his advice. The article also in
timates that the parties whoare try
'JSag to promoto a plan to irrigate
Jtoguo Rlvor valley in the vicinity of
Grants Pass and Merlin wish to die
Sate the torn of irrigation to the
jeoplo of Josephine county. The arti
cle appears as an editorial, hence I
--conclude you aro responsible for the
same, and, as your article Is evident
ly based upon false promises, I hope
you will bo fair enough to eivo this
'-communication au prominent a place
in your paper as you did said article.
First I wish to say that tho state
enginoo-, Mr. Lewis, has given out
bo statement or figures against or in
favor of any project whatever, but
bas answered letters as to the amount
of precipitation, drainaso area of wa
ter basins, and oilier like inform,
lion relative to different portions of
Joscpliino county, therefore, please do
jjot say nnythlcs detrimental to him,
as he is entirely innocont of favor
ing any plan of Irrigation, or of dis
couraging any.
Second Tho attorney general lias

Oscaloosa, la., and his associates in

of land which ihoy wish to lraprovo

Rogue River valley.

submitted to tho peoplo of that vicin

Fifth A portion of tho lands aro

Sixth The point of diversion for

WILL PAVE
EAST MAIN
Improvement Temporarily Held Up
Until Wood Pipe Is Accepted From
Contractors and New Assessment
Is Made on Property.
Tho city council at its regular
mooting Tucsdny evening considered
tho matter of paving East Main be
yond Roosuvclt. which has been held
I .
up on account oi mo condition oi tue
wood pipe main. As a result, a new
inspection will bo mado and the
wishes of the property owners car
ried out, though this will bo one of
the last streets paved, as tho pipe
must bo aaccptcd from tho contract
ors first nnd n new assessment of
pioporty mnde.
Mayor Canon stated that tho rea
son the pavement had not been laid
was becauso of the condition of the
wooden main, and that tho city did
not have the funds to rcplnco it with
castiron pipe.
J. D. Heard said that tlio pavement
could be laid over two-thirds of the
width of tho street and finished af
tor iron pipo hod been laid. Even if
laid tho total width, it would not bo
any moro trouble to dig a trench to
tho pipo and replace it thnn it is for
the tclephono comnnnioH to die
trenches for their cablo lines.
City Engineer Foster was of the
opinion that tho pipo could bo paved
over suceesstully. Most of tho leaks
had been stopped.
W. M. Holmes. T. E. Daniels anil
othors owning property on hn ntrnnt
expressed their willingness to tnko
chances on tho paving and benr tho
brunt.
Councihnen Eifert and Welch wore
of tho opinion that if tho proporty
ownors wanted tho pavement, "give it
to them."
Tho council will investigate tho
conditions nnd decido upon it at
once. It was suggested by tho city
engineer and others that u tilo drain
laid below tho pipe to carry off the
loakago would prevent nnw dnmago
to tho pavement and would settle tho
question for tho time being at least.
You aro pretty snfo in assuming
that if a storo has anything to soil
which will "stand bolng ndvortlsod"
It will bo ndvortlsod.
