R f WASHINGTON, D. C, July 14. The interstate commerce commission -will suspend the recently filed tariffs ot the various railroads providing for advanced rates. The decision of the commission was announced today. Tho suspension Is sweeping, includ ing all important general rate ad vances. The commission will begin at once an investigation into the rea sonableness of tho rates. Tho action la taken under tho railroad regulation law passed at the last session of con grew after tho government brought suit to enjoin tho western roads from advancing freight rates. The commission will hurry the In Testigatlon as rapidly as possible. Spe cific orders regarding the rates will be Issued from time to time as tho tariffs are considered. Bach suspen sion will last 220 days from tho date on which tariffs woro to havo gone lato effect. The suspensions today affect the Increases postponed after Taft's con ference with tho railroad presidents. A decision not to suspond tho in creased commutation rates affecting Kow York was a surprise, as it was expected that the Interstate commorco .commission would Investigate these crates first of all. Tho action today means tho suspen sion of 11,000 tariffs and affects ov er railroad in tho United States, ex cept thoso in tho southeastern part of tho country. It was intimated that Bomo of tho rates that shall bo ap proved will tako effect August 1. It is expected that tho commission will bo ready by tho lattor part of Septembor to approv nil th rats. If not tho commission will ordor fur ther suspension pendlnk investigation. INCREASED A A Connootieut pastor plans to use a movliig-pioturo mnchino to attrnot people to his church.

UT HAT interest can the Mail Tribune have in the site VV to be chosen tor a horse trough in Ashland?' asks Judge C. B. Watson, president o the Ashland Com mercial club, in a communication of protest published else where. AVhatcver concerns the wellfare of Ashland, of course, concerns the entire valley, and when an important subject like a horso trough arouses the various civic organizations of Ashland to action and the future of the community is declared at stake, and columns of space in the Ashland papers are devoted to the weighty subject, it becomes one of vital interest to the rest of us. Every fair-minded person will admit that horse troughs play an "integral part in the life of the community, and shape its destiny. jSTo country crossroads is complete with out one. How can Ashland hold its own in the strenuous competition of today without the horse trough? Enter prising Talent might install one and get the business. The civic organizations of Ashland were right in de manding that the horse trough be located in the cemetery. Contemplation of the dead, while sipping their beverage, will have a peaceful and soothing effect upon the minds of the fiery steeds, and in the somber, melancholy, and chas tened frame of mind engendered, no animal will be tempt ed to run away when scared by unseemly noises that oc casionally disturb the village calm. But, considering Mr. Watson's protest, the Mail Tri bune has no apologies to make for remarks made about Ashland. A close study of the paper will disclose, during the past six months, ten compliments to one "invidious" reference, and ten times as many good things printed about Ashland as any Ashland paper ever said about Medford. All that has been said about Ashland was merited. The truth often stings, but it is a good thing to be told the truth, and a good thing for Ashland to show her how she appeai-s in the eyes of the rest of the county, and helps her live citizens in their campaign for progress. Her own newspapers are edited by General Apathy. It is the height of absurdity to think that Medford is jealous of Ashland, or that the Mail Tribune reciprocates a jealous feeling. Medford has done far more to try and harmonize the two cities than Ashland. Medford sent a delegation down to the special session of the legislature to work for the normal school. Medford has sent speakers to Ashland Commercial club entertainments. Medford endorsed the normal school initiative bill and her citizens signed it largely. Whenever called upon, Medford has responded but we have yet to record much reciprocal action by Ashland. The editor of the Mail Tribune does not expect people will love him. There is no reason why they should. He offends too many. But the people of Ashland don't love their own editors, who are careful to offend no one. The editor of a live paper working energetically to build up his community is simply a catspaw to pull the community's chestnuts out of the fire and be burnt thereby. He must regard all things to a degree impersonally, and at times offend and antagonize, in striving to carry out what seems to him best for the public good. And so his enemies are legion. HELP SOLVE THE WATER PROBLEM. vote. I did not like somo of its ro- visions, but on tho wholo could see probable Kicnt Reed to result to tho wholo valley from tho building of nu iuterurlmu trolley line. I oxpoot to support it nffrtin, but am impelled to criticise the criticisms that so often and so jceriiiRly nppoar in the Inb uno directed against this city. I notice you, in a flippant way, rcl'crritnr to tho submission of n modified franchise to Mr. Allen, say that Ashland has a chouse of heart. This is not true. Tho former pro visions havo boon chnnircd to meet tho criticisms of thoso who opposed it. What is the nmttor with tho Tribune that you should indulge in so much of uukindness toward this city? Can you make pcoplo lovo you by troatini; them with oontumoly? It is looked upon by your subscribers hero ns unfriendly and unneiKhhorly. Such course is not consistent with your claim of working in the interest of tho wholo valloy. Ashland hns no jealousy against Medford why should von be noting ns though yon were reciprocating n jealous sentiment? What interest enn you havo in tho sito to bo chosen for a horso trough are both enjoying phcnoincnuV growth. Ashland, however, hns passed tho ago of rod-top boots and firecrackers, yot is willing that the youthful precocity of her neighbor should havo vent in a protracted Fourth of Jul v. Wo each e.xcol in our line, and that in which wo oxivl' nre not matters of competition be tween us. For instance, you are in tho center of tho valloy and ho arc better situated for commorco and trado.' Our attractions are mioli as properly handled, will make a groat place of resort. Tho rules of action from which growth must follow are not aliko. Now, Mr. Editor, (nkon hitch in your suspouded, and while dodging your huzz-wngons see if you cannot find occupation without invidious references toward Ashland, such as your subscribers hero havo boon called on lo read in your paper many times too often during the past six months. I am proud of Med ford's growth, though I would not oxehnnito Ashland for any place on oarlh. T also congratulate Medford on having an oxoollonN. go-ahead newspaper, though my friend who swings tho quill is sometimes indis creet. C. n. WATSON, President Ashland Commercial club. Married.

" CO-OPERATION of water users during the temporary stringency is asked by the city council, and eveiy user should respond so that everyone may secure suffi cient water to keep lawns green. Shortage is caused by the fact that only about 75 inches of water is available from the Rogue River Canal com pany's conduit. As soon as the city's pipeline is complet ed to the intake on Little Butte, the full 300 inches will be available. Inside of a month it is hoped to have the pipeline fin ished, but until then everyone is asked to go slow on water, use it for irrigation only during the specified hours, and to cease sprinkling the street in front of the residences. PINCHOT MAY 8E CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR WASHINGTON, D. C, July 14. That Gifford Pinchot may bo tho compromise candidate of tho Repub licans for tho Now York gubernator ial nomination is tho tronorul belief among politicians here, Pinchol's friends say he is not smoking office, but tlioy intimato that ho would not reject tho nomination if it woro of fered to him. His legal residence is in New York. Pinchot as a possibility is a sug gestion that is causing considerable gossip in political circles, where it is pointed out that Taft'B endorse ment of tho candidate will undoubt edly bo sought.
