SAYS PRESIDENT LACKED TASTE Member of Conservation Congress Executive Committee Charges Taft With Humiliating the Organiza tiefl. ST. PAUL. Sept. 9. That Presi dent Taft dl3graced tho national con servation congress by discussing pol itics when ho was exaected to dis cuss conservation, was the direct charge made yesterday before tbe executive committee of tho congress by Henry Hartner. "The president humiliated the or ganization,'' bo heatedly declared. "The reception tho delegates gave him was vry cool; so cool In fact that oven tho great office ho holds was not honored by It. "On tho othor hand, Roosevelt, a private citizen, was honored beyond measure. Tho president's political remarks were not In good taste. He was to talk conservation, and he didn't. President Baker of the con gress will verify this. "In view of what has happened, tho delegates should take matters Into their hands, eliminate all poli tics and talk conservation. Now that the political end of tho congress ap pears to have been reached, some persons actually are trying to ad iourn tho session tonight." Hartner's charges resulted In the Inauguration of a movement to elect J. B. White of Kansas City president of the congress. White's friends ehargo that tho efforts to end the sessions of tho congress are part of a plan to discredit Taft and honor Baker by tho congress. An attempt to adjourn tonight will Make Every Dollar Worth More Than a Dollar! Aii educated ad reader will iiever be poor. To "know advertising" is to have a prac tical knowledge of values of things rof when and how and where to buy. No one, having and utilizing such knowledge,-, could ever bo unthrifty, or in any sense careless or reckless of expenses. For such knowl edge makes for thrift for saving.. It makes one proof against t shams false values manipulated reductions. The intelligent ad reader uses as much thought and ability in buying things as is required in earning the money that is spent for them. And that amounts to a substan tial increase of the value of every dollar of the family revenue! Henry Riley of tho Roguo Rivor Plumbing company, is making ft de cided hit in this community. -When man who is building a now house in this community is approached con corning tho plumbing in his building and asked if tho job is lot, ho genor ally sings out, "Yes, I handed it over to Riley." J. 0. Isaacson, James Shields and Carl Cornell returned Wednesday evening from Payno's canyon, at which point they spent several days deer hunting. Tho party succeeded in bagging two deer, ono being a fiuo three-point buck. Mr. Isnacson says everything is so dry that successful hunting is extremely difficult, al though deor are plentiful. Dr. Ed C. llouser of Mt. Moriah, Mo., was looking over Cent nil Point Wednesday. Dr. llouser does not in tend to locate hero in a professional wav. but does expect to locate sorue- whoro in Southern Oiegon as n resi dence rilaco. Tho doctor has retired from actual practice and only seeks a place whore ho can spend a few years in pleasant retirement from tha strenuous life of tho family phy sician. The Ladies' Civic Improvement club, nt a recent meeting, perfected arrangements with tho Britt Lyceum company for a series of five enter tainments during the winter. The action of, the club meets with hearty support among the people hero, who nre simply starved for reputable en tertainment.

Our people may expect five high-class numbers from the Britts. ROOSEVELT AND HIS PARTY LIVINGSTON, Mont., Sept. 9. At the democratic convention for tho nominating of a congressman, rail road commissioner and clerk of tho supreme court. In session here, State Chairman George put Roosevelt and tho republican party on the grill and subjected them to a severe toasting. He charged that the republicans wore fostering the trusts through their tariff laws and accused Roose velt of thrusting, himself Into the spotlight through tho theft of demo cratic principles. T. J. Walsh probably will be the choice as next democratic state chair man, in order to further urge his candidacy for the United 'States sen ate. The Clark and Conrad forces violently opposed any senatorial en dorsement. -M - MRS. ED ANDREWS, 4- VOICE CULTURE, AT NATATORIUM TUES- DAYS AND FRIDAYS.

Hartner's declaration that Baker knew that Taft was supposed to con flno his remarks to conservation sub jects tho delegates appear to believe, will precipitate further difficulty un less tho resolution to continue the congress, which Hartaer himself will Introduce, receives favorable consideration. SULLIVAN GIVES MEDFORD BOOST Spokane Capitalist Much Impressed With Medford and Valley and Doos Not Hesitate to Tell His People About It. The Spokesman-Koview of Spo kane, Wash., on September G pub lished tho follewing: J. T, Sullivan, capitalist and con tractor, returned yestorday from a trip to Medford, Or., enthusiastic about tho future of that town and section. Said he: "What is causing the most stir thore is the projected railroad from Medford to Crescent City, Cal. I nindo u trip with Dr. licddy over the proposed lino and find it can bo con structed cheaply at good, easy grades through a country that will produce n great deal of tonnage and support a large population. "Tho Pacific terminus of the pro posed road has a natural harbor which onlv requires a little improve ment to mnko it ono of the best on tho coast. A section of the bay about a milo and a half or two miles square is cut off from the ocean by three small islands, and it only needs the construction of a breakwater con necting them to ninke it a safe anuh- orase. There is no bar to the harbor aud plenty of deep water in the bay. It is right in the heart of a great redwood country and if the harbor were improved as I liavo indicated thero would immediatclv spring up a big export lumber business. "The projector of the railroad is named Bowen, but since he got the matter of its construction pretty well arranged the Southern Pacific has put a party of engineers into tho field to survey a line between the same terminals. The genornl opinion at Medford is that the Southern Pa cific will crowd Bowen out of the field and build the road itself. "Another thing which is causing some stir in Medford is tho con struction of tho Pacific & Eastern railroad bv the Hill system, cast from Medford, to connect with the Oregon Trunk line. Another big un dertaking nenr Medford is the con struction of a great irrigation sys tem b3' Patrick Welch and R. K. Neill, northeast of town. There is also considerable activity in the min ing camp of Blue Ledge, which is tributary to Medford." ATTEND COLLEGE.
