SIGNALIZES A NEW ERA.
BUSINESS mou of Medford are now engaged in the
most momentous movement hi the history of the
southern Oregon metropolis in their effort to secure better
local freight rates. This moveonient marks a new era in
the development of Medford and the Rogue River valley
and if their effort meets with success it means that Med
ford is to be an important distributing point and jobbing
center.
The Medford demand at this time is extremely mod
est, since it is practically confined to a spread between
Hie carload and less than carload rates enabling local
jobbing houses to compete with the cheap terminal rates
given San Francisco and Portland.
Geographically, Medford is most enviously situated.
Contiguous is an empire almost as great in area as all of
New England and rich in varied resources, all as yet prac
tically undeveloped, awaiting only transportation at rates
sufficiently reasonable to enable them to enter the mar
ket on a competitive basis.
The Southern Pacific has long voiced a deep felicity
for Medford, and it now has an opportunity to show its
friendship in a practical manner, for the time has come
when Medford demands something more substantial than
promises.
"With the portentous figure of Hill looming on the east
ern horizon, comes the dawning of another day in south
ern Oregon, a morning golden in the promise of progress
and development, and of the coming of an empire into
its own. And the day is not so far distant when the South-
25 :::::::: w era Pacific will be courting the favor of the young Gulliver

Mulkoy's prospects for winning tho
republican prlmnry nomination fur
congressman front this district nro
highly promising. Ms opponent IinB
been n dyed-in-the-wool Cannon mnn
and tho methods of Cnnnonlsm nnd
tho Interests Mint woro sorvoil

ly stamped upon tho mlmln of tho
people that thoro Is no mistaking
their sentiments. Tho landslide In
tho Kansas republican primaries and
tho recejU lorn stato convoutlon nro
unmistakable evidences of forthcom
ing events. Tho usual oxcuso mado is
that a congressman must Instinctive
ly locate the powers that organlzo
legislative odlos nnd stand In with
them in order to secure pork out of
the barrel for his congrcholonnl dis
trict. In this respect tho presont
Incumbent has been reasonably suc
cessful. In serving Cannon, how
ever, ho has offendod everybody olso,
nnd It Is plain to be soon Mint Cannon
and his machine nro on tho tobog
gan slldo to retirement, Tho pork
barrel statesmanship point of view is
plain. The congressman from tho
First district should ho nn anti-Can-uoii

Ills luck In politics Is tho vory best,

not excel him from tho standpoint

their lives In tho schoolhouno nnd In

INSURGENT BREECH WIDENS.
(Continued from Page 1.)
amde is tho general expectation of
the politicians hero nnd the insurg
ents arc freely predicting that such
an answer soon will be forthcoming.
Senator Aldrich's letter, writ lei to
Chainrmnn William M. McKinley of
the congressional committee, admits
the .charge by Bristow that Aldrich
is connected with the Inter-continental
company, and also admits thnt
the rubber schedules were advanced
5 per cent as Bristow alleges. The
advances, Aldrich contends, were not
made for the benefit of his own com
pany, but because tho rubber indus
try as n whole demanded it, and be
cause the demands seemed fair to the
committee to whom tho evidence was
eubmitted.
After this stntement, however,
Aldrich, declaring that Bristow has
mnsstntcd tho facts, asserts that his
concern is by no means n trust and
goes into considerable detail, telling
of the business done by tho company,
the time of its first organization nnd
the manner of its reorganization.
Only an Importer.
The company, according to Aid
rich, is engaged solelv in the busi
ness of importing raw rubber and '
selling it to manufacturing concerns.
Senator Bristow charged that the in
crease of tho tariff on manufactured
rubber, which it wns implied tho
company sold, enabled the concern
to declnro enormous dividends.
This charge it emphatically de
nied. Bristow has charged that the com
pany recently reorganized is empow
ered by its charter to engage in
manufacturing, and nlso is empow
ered to engage in such business, such
as mining. This, Bristow charges, is
intended to help tho Guggenheim syn
dicate got possession of the mineral
-wealth in all parts of tho United
States.
Bristow emphatically stated that
Sis charges wore based on the char
ter of tho company, a copy of which
he bad seen.
Aldrich on Defensive.
Tho insurgents nro oxpootitng( tho
Kansas senator to ask Aldrich to ox
plain a Jtttlo more fully tho reasons
for tho chnrtor chnngos nnd tho in
crease of powers given tho company,
as he chnrgos was done.

THAT Herbert Hume, one of the heirs of the estate of R.
D. Hume, late "Lord of the Rogue," intends to per
petuate the monopoty on fishing in the lower river so suc
cessfully maintained by his uncle for thirty odd veal's is
shown .by an injunction he has secured against the Union
Fisheries company from catching salmon in the Rogue.
The Humes own the banks of the lower river for many
miles above its mouth, and the injunction curtails the
work of independent fishers so as to make it unprofitable.
Thus the entire Rogue river is converted into a private
I asset of the monopoly.
That Herbert Hume also -plans an aggressive legisla
tive campaign to maintain the monopoly is indicated by
the fact that he is a candidate for republican nomination
for joint representative for Coos and Curry counties.
The Hume lobby has been a familiar feature at every
session of the legislature for years. Through it, the wishes
of the people of the Rogue River valley have been repeat
edly thwarted, and the monopoly permitted to enjoy the
longest open season on the coast and reap millions of
profit for investment outside the state.
It is undoubtedly the monopoly's intention, should the
bill closing the Rogue to commercial fishing become a
law, to seek some modification of the people's edict in the
legislature. Hence it behooves the peoxle of Jackson
and Josephine counties to see that the right men are sent
to the legislature this year.
INSANITY DODGE OVERWORKED.
GALLAGHER, the assassin of Mayor Gaynor of New
York, has already framed a defense for the commis
sion of his act on the ground of insanity.
It is hardly likely that this, time-worn and overworked
refuge of every assassin who attempts the life of a useful
citizen will avail in the case of Gallagher.
Juries of New York city have lately been turning a
deaf ear to pleas of insanity or the unwritten law, arid if
Gallagher has no better defense than a plea of a diseased
mind on the part of some of his progenitors, he might do
the commonwealth, his ancestry and himself, a service by
entering a plea of guilty.
Albeit. Governor Brady of Idaho insists on a platform
as dry as an Idaho desert land entry before its reclamation,
those wljo know the Idaho executive and have basked in
the glory of his glittering countenance insist that the gov
ernor is compelled to wear dark glasses on account of the
brilliance of his nasal' organ, and that there has never been
occasion for the reiteration between himself and the gov
ernor of Montana of the celebrated commentary of the
governor of South Carolina to the governor of North Carolina.

WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug. 12.
A persistently recurring rumor that
President Taft has offered tho portfo
lio of tho Intorlor department tto
President W. C. Thompson of tho
Ohio state university Is attracting
attention today. It Is In tho way of
confirmation of tho report that Son
ator Crane's recent trip Into tho west
was mndo for the purposo of sug
gesting to Richard Achilles Dalltn- i
gor that he should resign, from tho
cabinet.
Much credence In given to tho
Thompson rumor. It is known that
ho Is In favo with tho progressives In
his state, also numbering many of
tho regular republicans among his
supporters. Moreover there Is no
Ohionn In the president's official

AT THE UPPER END OF THE GREAT SACRAMENTO VALLEY,
