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. The Britt Lyceum com
pany was highly recommended to the
ladies bj Mr. Andrews of Medford,
who knows the show and entertain
ment in all its details. 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 -

undoubtedly result In the presenta
tion of resolutions that the congress
continue tomorrow.
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."
