To tho Editor of tho Tribune: Hav ing seen tho editorial in tho Sun of tho 5th, I wish to reply in the follow, ing manner: In the first place, tve have a pure food and dairy law which fully cov ers my businels, and tho state dairy inspector has called on mo twice in the last year and made analyses of any products, and at one time gave a milk test' of 4.2 per cent and the other time 4.4 per cent butter fat, and as the law only requires 3.2 per cent, which shows that I am giving my customers the pure, fresh milk, as it comes from the cows without any adulteration. I will pay to any per son the sum of J500 who will .take milk off from my wagons at any time and havo same analyzed by compe tent authority who finds same adul? teratcd in tho slightest manner. I havo furnished parties In this city who havo young babies, who will gladly give testimony that their chil dren have dono nicely on tho milk and will state that In some cases they even found the milk too rich. I am in no position to state what class of milk my competitors are sell ing, but hardly think they lay them tent authority who finds some adul terating their goods, and while we havo a state law protecting the peo ple against tho sale of adulterated milk, I would not object In tho least for this city to pass an ordinance con forming with tho state laws, and fur ther, at any time that the city health officer would like to test tho prod ucts of my dairy ho Is welcome to do so, and remember, my offer of J500 holds good. I also ask any officials or individ uals to como and visit my dairy at nny time and I will show them around, J. W. SNIDER. Medford Dairy, September 5. "OELTEV1NG that (ho development of the entire state - of Oregon, and more especially those sections of the state commonly called "interior ' trom Portland, are be ing greatly retarded and grievously hampered by tho -current system of freight rates, the Medford Commercial club has very properly endorsed the movement initiated by the Medford Traffic bureau to submit an initiative bill to the people looking to a modification of tho present freight rates. A uniform rate bill was smothered in committee at the last session of the legislature. The bill in tho form drafted might have been objectionable, but if the purpose had been present in the minds of the committee, auy ob jectionable features could lmvebcen removed and the bill reported. That it was not reported clearly indicates the need of direct appeal to the voter for application of the remedy to freight rate inequality. The fact is before the public that the railroad commis sion, on its own motion, in a readjustment of rates out of Portland, increased the privileges already enjoyed by Portland that had been conferred upon her by the rail roads to the disadvantage of transportation interchange between cities outside of Portland. While it is true the reduction ordered by the commission has resulted in a direct saving to the consumer, yet by enlarging the dis tributive monopoly of Portland, it has indirectly injured the interior to a greater extent than the benefit of a direct saving by restricting the industrial development of in terior trade centers with its corresponding benefits to surrounding territory. In the accomplishment of simple justice Medford has invited state-wide co-operation in the furtherance of the movement to perfect an organization to go before the vot ers of the state and submit for their consideration uniform maximum distance class freight rates. STANLEY DAM IS DEDICATED Larrjfst Private Irrigation Scheme to the World Opened by Secretary Wilson Who Discusses Presidential Situation. HOW RAILROADS FIGURE TO MAKE SURE LOSS ;m' SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. V. The Santa Fo ra'tlionu is run at n los-s and pays out $1.08 for every $1 worth of business done in California if tho figured "presented to the state commission of Statistician Amos I'cnbody may he credited. PeabodyV Btalislics were jjivon as a part of tin Snntu Fo's testimony in the Sun Joucquin Valley rate cose, in which Snu Francisco shippers are seckiu;; lower tariffs from tins city into the lower valloy. Poabody said the slate busincsf. was all a loss bccniisa tho ears did Hot run full, tho stntions wero too far apart, etc., etc. lie declared nil tlio other earnings of tho Santa I'o were made in interstate business. Pressed for a reason, Pcnbfldy admit ted that tho cost of tho state service had been figured at five times tho cost of interstate traffic. DENVER, Clo., Sept. 7 James Wilson, secretary of agriculture ded icated today the Stanley dam near Denver, the largest private irrigation enterprise in the world, and also the largest public or private in close proximity to a large city. Prior to leaving the city Wilson voiced his opinion on the political sitpation as regards presidential pos sibilities. After stating that one of the purposes of his western trip was to discover, if possible, how the west would line up, Wilson said: "I think that President Taft un doubtedly will be renominated. He deserves it. Speaker Champ Clark apparently is the strongest candidate for the democratic nomination al though Woodrow Wilson is also strong. Clark's greatest followiug comet? from the thickly populated middle west. Asked if he though former Prei dent Roosevelt would be a candidate in 1916. Wilson was non-commital. "I couldn't sny," Wilson replied. ''No body knows what he will do or what his strength would be." Salem, Ore. (Special) With the horsemen racing against their own money as they are at the Oregon State Fair from September 11 to 18. there is bound to be rare sport. All the classes have filled and as a result the unusual spectacle of the drivers and owners racing for their own money coming from entrance fees is presented. This insures hon est racing and the cards show that the fast horses have all been entered. Secretary Frank M. Heath of the organization which has its track and exhibit grounds at Salem, Ore., Is happy because of the showing made. He has had the track improved and it will not "cup" as much as in former years. The "doctor" reported that the fault of the track was because the clay mixture was dead. Some new clay was spread and as a result the track has been "regenerated" into a fast one, with the objections of vet eran horsemen nearly removed. As a consequence all the classes have filled and everyone is waiting for the "go" of the first race. Governor Oswald West has prom ised to attend the races this year, and President L. W. Hill of the Great Northern Railway Company has as sured Secretary Meredith that he will be present on the closing day, Sat urday, to participate in the Good Roads Conference and demonstration. Altogether, it looks as if the Ore gon State Fair, with improved grounds and better track and build ings, will be better than ever. Hardly a county is lacking in representation and the competition for prices in the various exhibits will be keen, prob ably unusually so in the stock show events. Reduced rates are in effect on all railroad lines for this exposition of the best that Oregon has to offer. NOTED AUTHORESS IS FOUND DEAD Katherine Cecil Thurston, Writer of the "Masquerader," and Other Works Passes Away in Hotel Husband Proved Unworthy. CORK. Ireland. Sept. 7. Kather ine Cecil Thurtson, author ot the "Masquerader" and other works, was found dead in her hotel yesterday She had been living a quiet lite here since her divorce from Ernest Temple Thurston, whom she marrid in 1901 In 1907 Thurston left his wife, declaring that for the purposes of lit erary work It was necessary for him to go to the very bottom of society. He took up a residence in the Soho quarter with another woman. When getting her divorce Mrs Thurston told the court she would forgive Thurston if he would return. He refused to do so on the ground that he was unworthy. He also com plained that his wife was making more money out of her literary ef forts than he was with his.
