"There vas my first experience
with a inlddlcnan, and I have lived
to know thatthoy are all alike. That
boy's flrts ambition was to obtain his
own supply of elder. Ilo then lost
Interest In tho Job and forgot to send
any along. Your middleman can al
ways pull In his own direction better
than ho can push your way. You
r-annot rcallzo the capacity of a man
or boy until you get him In tlio mid

stream. Yoli gentlemen nro Inside

Of course they laughed, and then

thought to bo unanswerable:
"Whnt aro you going to do about
it?"
"Looking back 10 years I now seo
vhat wo Httlo boys should have
done to get tho sharo which belonged
to us. Wo choiild have gone to every
farmer who brought anples to that
mill and told him of the outrage
which seemed so largo to us. Mean
and cowardly as many of them
were, thcldca of boys trying to ob
tain their rights would have stirred
them, and when ho saw they meant
business, that old Yankee would have
paid us with heaping measure. To
day wo are children of a larger
growth taking our petty little share
of tho consumer's dollar, becauso
vo are trying an individuals to work
against organluztions. One of these

Do It resolved by tho City Council
or tho City of Modfeicl:
Kctctlon 1. Thoro Is hereby ordered
to ho hold lu tho City of Mcdford
an annual election for tho election
,or city officers, pursuant to tho chnr
,ter of said city, and also for the pur
pose of submitting to the legal vnt
cia of said city tho following pro
posed act to amend tho charter or
said city:
1. An act to amend tho charter
or tho City or Medford, Orogon.
Raid annual election is ordered to
bo held on January 10, 1911, be
tween tho hours provided In tho
rlwrtor, tor tho holdluj; ot annual
elections.
The following officurfl shall ho
elected ut said electien: One man-
ciliuun from oaeh ward, aud a
mayor.
The following are the places In
said city designated aw tho places at
Which bald election will bo held:
First waul Over Hasklu'b Drug
Store.
Second waid Hotel Xuhh s.unplo
room.
Third w .ml City hall.
Tho following aro hereby doalg-
uaioii as Judge's or said electien:
statement of military aiithoiitics
stationed at' Vancouver IJarracks.
Patriotic civilians ncr that invad
ers would be drhen into 'the sea,
should tlloy laud on this count. Prac
ticed army officers say, on the con
trary, that tho coiiMt would tlii; up
any sum that might be demanded bv
tho iiivadeis. This argument has
been started by the .statement from
Washington lately submitted to con
gress that the United States is vir
tually helpless in case of war.
"This country was never so un
prepared, e.ceitj at tho beginning of
tho Civil war, ilo meet tho nllucks
of a foreign enemy," said Colonel
James Jut-knelt 'formerly a squad
ron commander in the Fourteenth
United States cavalry. "The military
forces we now. hnve on tho Pacific
coast are in&ijpiificnnt, and such
navy as, is hero would be helpless-.
"It is true that the few coast for
tifications wo hne are perfect Hi
equipment, but there is a lack of men
to handle the units and whole bat
teries are now out of ctonuuissicni un
der Iho euro Ot squads that can do
no more than krep away Iho rust.
While these forts ate formidable in
front nnd could blow a fleet out of
the water, they are helpless from the
rear and could bo captuicd by u
few plntUuuis of. infantry. To pro
tect them from such a danger, luit'u
bodies of troops would have to be
kept as supports, dining a period ot
hostility."
