HUD WINS FROM WORD LOS ANGELES MUNICIPAL ELECTION WARM AFFAIR LOS ANGELES, Nov. 13. With tho most remarkable campaign in liio history of nn American municipality at fever heal here the lenders, mule ami female, of both factions confi dentially admitted they were all at sea as to the result. While working too til and unil to ensure the election of their mayoralty candidate, th-jy result personalities of the bitterest type nro being indulged in. If rioting does not mar election dny, December 5, those directly in elinrgc of the ma ehinery will bo much surprised. The real troublo lies in the "silent vole." This is enormous, more than one-half of tho enroumous registra tion, 191,000, having been enrolled Mnco tho primaries, when Job Ilnrri mnn, socialist-labor union candidate, led George Alexander, incumbent, by moro than 3,000 votes. Since the primaries nearly 100,000 new votcis lmvo been enrolled, 83,330 are the women who will cast their first bal lot sinco the state enfranchised them And this is the vote that no one can get n line on. While the extreme faoeiety type nnnouueed when regis tering that its members would sup jwrt Alexander and the working wom en declared for ITnrrimnn, three quarters of the total declined to ex press any preference. And this si lent vote, tho grcntcst in the history of any community in American polit ical history, will decide the election mid say whether Alexander, who has tho united support of tho Merchants itiul Manufacturers' Association and every bank and big business man, or Ilai'rimnn, hacked by organized and unorganized labor will be Los Au gulcs next tnuyor. ' The Motto on the Clock. The old Temple clock in London bears a curious Inscription, the origin of which la ascribed to a chance re mark. Some 200 years or so ago n master workman was employed to repair and put in a now face upon the clock When his work wns nearly dono he asked tho benchors for an appropriate motto (o carvo upon tho base. The? promised. to think of one. Week after week ho came for their decision, but Was put off. One day ho found them at dinner in commons. "What motto shall I putou the clock, your lordship?" he asked of a learned Judge. 'Oh, go about your business!" his honor cried ungrlly. "And very suitable for a lazy, daw. dllng gangl" tho clockinaker is said to huyo muttered as be retreated. It Is certain that ho carved "Go about jour bus!uoM on the baso. Tho lawyers doclded that no better warning- could be given them at any hour of tho day, and there tho Inscrip tion still remnlns.-narpcr'8 Weekly. The many friends of Charlie Gay, a popular resident of this city, nro touting the above nppellation and tuning much sport nt the expense of Mr. Gay today following the publica tion of the work of nn ambitions hut not over-careful news sleuth of Sa lem. In the Sunday Oregon Journal, a story is told regarding a letter written to Wordeu Curtiss of the state penitentiary by C. H. Gay in which "one of the convicts presents a vivid picture of 'Westville.'" The "one of the convicts' is no one but Mr. Gay himself. But in spite of the fact that this error occurs Mr. Gay's letter is in teresting nevertheless. It follews: "Friend Frank and all: I suppose you are anxious to know how the boys nro getting along. They nro all here and doing fine. Wc nro getting the camp fixed up in fine shape. They have a stove hi each tent, also in the dining room, good bunks and all are happy. Dick is looking after tho commissary for me while I am busy outside looking after some oth er things. Some of the boys went out today to patch up a piece of road. They all like it. We will send the 'Lend a Hand' a few items in n few days. Canon will write n few arti cles for the Mnil Tribune. "The cook wants butter to fry steak in and I had io hold him down. I have kept track of the cost of feed ing, which is all for 40 cents per day per man so far. But I will be able to make ft about 30 cents per dny soon. The boys nil send kind regards and say to tell Mr. Warden and the gov ernor they arc all happy and need not bo afraid they will go wrong. They have a sign oiutlie road in big letters Westville,' and ns the eaple go by they all look up. They have ft big campfire every night and enjoy themselves. "Wcl, Frank, you will hear from me from timo to time. And with kid regards to you all, I am as ever your friend, ' C. B. GAY. "1. S. They nro talking of form ing a good government club. You might rend this to West over the phone." SOCIALISTS HAVE Cl TICKET Frank B. Sankey, Walter, Will Hake Race for Council In First Ward In stead of Tennessee Smith Who Withdrew From Contest. Local High School Team Meets First Defeat of Season Poor Playing Marked Mcdford's Early Playing. CHARITY HI CITY ORGANIZED (By Grid Iron.) Ashland high school turned tho tables on the Medford high school team Saturday by defeating tho local boys by the identical score that made Medford victors two weeks ago, G-0. Because tho man who was holding tho ball on the goal kick allowed It to touch tho ground, ono moro point wns denied Ashland. Kfforts nro be ing miulo to arrange another game later in tho season. Anyway it is figured Ashland do- served tho victory. They were called upon to punt 13 times for an avcrago of 27 yards, while Med ford punted 14 times for an avcrago of 26 yards, tho honors bolng nearly equal. Ashland gained almost two to ono on yardago and pulled oft four successful end suns for a total ot ISO yards. It was ono ot these that scut Phillips across with the ono touchdown of tho game. In tho early part of tho gamo Mod ford played way below usual form, fumbling repeatedly, .making no less than eight fumbles In the first quar ter. Tho Medford line showed strong at tho opening, tearing great holes In Churches, Lodges and City Unite to Direct Any Work of Charity Un dertaken in Meilfortl Holmes, Canon and Elfcrt to Act. A mooting of several of tho min isters of Medford, a represooututlvo from tho lodges of the city and a rep resentative from the city council met this morning for the purposo ot ef fecting an organisation which will hnvo for Its purpose tho distribution of charity among tho destitute ot tho city, should there bo any.. Such an organization wns effected and a com mittee of threo wns appointed to han dle tho affairs or tho organliatlou. Nov. A. A. Holmes, pastor ot tho Baptist church, was appointed to rep resent the churches, W. W. Klfort tho lodges and Mayor Canon the city. The object of tho organization to systematize the distribution ot de serving charity, it is tho purpose to establish a headquarters some plnco closo in whew applications for assistance may bo tnado and where clothing, bedding and foodstuffs may bo left by charitably Inclined people. Heretofore there has been uo organ ized system and some of the poor ot Ashland's defense, lint vorv fmv first downs wero made. Whom Ashland1"0 c,t' hnvo " lavishly provided excelled was in pulling tho Mcdford's. for U,ro,,Kh tno different channels ends In and making it possible for Ashcraft to circle around v with tho ball. Ashcratt Is no doubt the strong est player seen this season on the local field and qunrtorbnek Thorn ot Ashland is another star player. In another gamo Medford would stand a good chance of winning, for this timo it was Ashland playing des perately to overcomo a former defeat and tho red and black didn't quite rcallzo tho Ashland strength. Tho boys learned n lot and would go after Ashland in a different manner In an other game. The gnme does not affect Mcdford's championship claims, ns Medford de feated Grants Pass by a larger score than did Ashland, nnd as tho Ash land scores aro even up. Next Sat urday, Eugene, champions of the WII lametto valley, will como to Medford to play, and a great gamo is predicted. while others, equally deserving, have been overlooked. Tho churches, lodges and city coun cil will be asked to contribute In cash to this general fund and when this fund is established no nsslstanco will bo given except through thin organi zation, except that some church or lodge should want to take caro of some member Independent of the or ganization Support tho manufacturers of your homo city first, last and all the timo, and you will help yourself to prosper ity.

Medford Hardware Comp'ny 218 EAST MAIN ST. IRRIGATION IRRIGATION is the science of giving a plant just as much moisture as it needs, and just exactly when it needs it. IRRIGATION has added more wealth to the country in the last ten years than any three of the largest resources combined. Thousands of acres of worthless land have been reclaimed and some of this land has sold for tho highest prices ever paid for horticultural or agricultural land.. IRRIGATION will reclaim "tho desert," G500 acres will he developed into a vast orchard district. "The desert" when irrigated will provo to bo tho best orchard land in the Rogue River Valley. IRRIGATION will make the Rogue River Valley famous for its berries. Tho largest yields in tho next few years will come from "tho desort." IRRIGATION will add thousands of acres to tho producing area of tho Roguo River Valley, and in these new districts there will be no crop failure, for irriga tion is a guarantee of bountiful yields, and is real crop insuranco for tho grower. IRRIGATION in tho Willamette Valloy hns increased production from sixty to throe hundred per cent. It will do tho samo in the Roguo River Valloy. IRRIGATION will double tho population of Medford and the Roguo Rivor Valley in tho next few years. Now homes will be established. Orchards will bo planted on lands that havo never been productive. "Tho desort" will bo redeemed and a thousand families will bo added through this dovolopmont. Rogue River Valley Canal Company FRED N. OUMMINGS, Manager I ,'' v Medford National Bank Bldg., Medford.
