USE WATER ALREADY DEVELOPED.

the const nu'tion oC new irrigation projects so nmch

land owners nnder the present water systems do not take
advantage of their opportunities'?
It is a demonstrated fact that an irrigated orchard
can be depended upon for a yearly crop- regardless of
weather conditions; that irrigation is a form of crop in
surance, yet but few orchardists use the water that flows
past their groves.
It is known that with water, truck and market garden
ing is successful, potatoes and other produce can be grown j
at a large profit in the valley, yet there are thousands
ot acres or suitable laud under water, unulled and uncul
tivated. K-uhn Brothel's, who built the Twin Falls, Idaho, irri

professed. The people are determined to rule, even if
some of their hastily chosen instruments are off-color.
in the- eyes of tho Oregon electorate measures are
greater than men. When the men betray the measures,
i.hey are ruthlessly thrown out. Therefore the course of
the chosen of Tuft will be watched with interest as they
commit political hara-kari.

sign agreements to purchase water but two months'
work resulted in only a few signatures to water contracts,
and the project was abandoned.
The Rogue lxiver Canal company is spending over a
million dollars in extending its irrigating system, but
though the water has flowed for several years, there are
comparatively few users and the compauy litis been obliged
to plant and sell its own land in order to find a market
foi Us water. Its projected canals cover almost the entire
valley, but unless the land owners will agree to use the
water it. would be a waste of money to construct the canals.
7t i nmieniieo in f.-ilk- nlmnf inniH imirrtiiri'fl il'l'itv.'lt-
ing systems when privately built enterprises cannot se-
cure customers. If the water alread v wasted from present ' i
svstems was utilized, thousands of acres would be in culti-
vjirion. and with a market for the water there would be 1
a rapid extension of systems to fill the demand.
"Water means work, and a great many of our orchard
isfi? and farmers don't want work. There are altogether
too main speculative and not enough productive tillers of,
the soil in the Rogue River valley. Utilization of present
water resources will double the labor and thribble the,
productive output of the hind. It will work a transforma- rttTTTT
tion m the valley and prosperity will iollow.
Every acre of idle hind can be utilized at ti profit with
water, but there is little effort apparent to use either
water or hind along many of the irrigating canals alreadv ,
constructed. Land owners must come out of the specula-!
tive dream of holding for an unearned prolit and come
down to making land and watpr earn a real profit.

ASHLAND. Oct. 27. Tho 10 days'
additional lime given tho Siskiyou
Power & Light company to make tho
city Bomu offer for tho municipal
electric lighting plunt expired yester
day. Although Mayor Nell notified
tho company a fejv days ago that
the, time limit was about to expire,
no word Iibb been received from
them. This Is taken to Inlllcate that
the company does not Intend making
any offer for tho municipal plant, as
they had signified that they wero
likely to do at the time tho 10 days'
extension was grantod tlicm. Attor
ney Iloamcs, who represents tho city
in tho ejectment proceedings, is
away and is not expected back until
tho first of noxt mouth. Tho city
cannot do anything in tho meantime,
but emphatic assertions nro inado to j
tho effect that tho ejectment suit !
will ho pushed and that every effort
will be made to compel tho Siskiyou
company to removo its system from
tho city.
COMMITTEE of citizens of more or less prominence
has been "annroved" bv President Taft to take
charge in Oregon of his campaign for renoniiimtion.
Doubtless some of these gentlemen are puffed up and
quite flattered at having been selected by the president
of the United States as his personal representatives. As
n matter of fjct, however, they were till seleeted by Kalpl.
AVilliams, national committeeman, in the hope of making
good his promise to deliver Oregon at the national conven-
. tion, m return tor which he has been awarded the privilege
J of naming stand-patters to federal of fiee.
This Tatt committee is a clever combination ol assem
bly tuid anti-assembly men, of alleged progressives and
stand-patters. It is expected to pull the assembly and
stand-pat chestnuts out of the fire.
Ben Selling, president of the Oregon senate, Senator
Dan J". Malarkey and pther prominent anti-assembly lead
el's tire listed as members of the Taft committee. They
owe their political prominence to advocacy of progressive
measures to "which President Taft is utterly opposed. If
they become supporters of Taft and his stand-pat policies,
they repudiate the cause they championed and their insin
cerity will be rewarded by their own repudiation by the
people.
It was not personal popularity that swept the anti
assembly men into office it was the popularity of the
jncaSures thev posed as representing Statement Xo. 1,1).
