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

' 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.

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

not supply your wants, InBlst that tho

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.
