HK BOYS WILL "
GO ON STRIKE
At n stonny meeting hold Monday
ovonmg tho fire department agreed
to itislinnd ami Inni the charter hack
to th secretary of state unless tho
wages asked were granted by the city
council. The scale demanded call's
for -flOO per month for chief, .fS." for
assistant chief and driver and $7."i
apiece for three men or .?-H)i n month
total.
The council lias olfered $S5 for the
chief, $7f for assistant cjilef and four
men at JCu, or a total of $420 per
month.
The distance between Medford and
a fire department at present then Is
$7fi a month. It thts Is not bridged
tonight there will be no fire depart
ment unless the mayor Is In a posi
tion to form a new one.
Tho position of tho council is that
no provision has been made for rais
ing money for a paid fire department
and the city finances are in such a
condition that the city cannot afford
to pay more than the schedule deter
mined upon.
HOMESTEADER WINS
PROLONGED CONTEST
John Loughliu, homesteader, has
won the content ease brought against
him by the forestry bureau and after
it prolonged contest has been nward
u nrolonged contest has been passed
Uon in favor of the entryman by the
Lakeview land office.
Tho facts appear, from the testi
mony submitted, to be that, about
ten or eleven years ago, the entry
man made a homestead entry of cer
tain lands in the Cascade Reserve,
but prior to the time when tho same
was established as. a reserve, and,
about five or six years ago, made his
final proof.
The proof was held up for first one
cause and then another during all of
theso years, the entryman making
every effort to secure a hearing of
his case, so that he might get action
on the proofs that ho had submitted
as to his resldonce and cultivation.
Numerous special agents of the
Forestry department called on the
entryman and other citizens and en
deavored to get affidavits and other
statements 'that might be used
against tho ontrymau in tho trial of
contest, which was evidently contem
plated. But tho entryman refused to
make any statements excepting those
made In his final proof.
I
COMMUNICATION.
Help' the Fire Boys
To the editer: Tho city of Medford
should not bo without a paid fire de
partment. Jf tho city cannot afford
to tiy the firemen living wage- the
business men should contribute.
It .should be n very easy matter to
get twelve Iiumiiom firms to volun
tarily subscribe say $73 u month to
wards the paid department.
If T was u little butter known in
this city 1 could go out and raise
the $i)()0 in a onuplo of hours. 1
would either mine the money or raise
. Just think what u large
nninunl it is 12 man to subscribe
fr'O.oO n month. Now let a few more
just u dozen, say, of our enterprising
citizens fall in lino or fall in Hear
Creek. Yon enn put me down for
$0.50 a month for 12 months. It is
not a very good advertisement for a
yity of this size uud ciiterpri-o to
be without a good paid fire depart
ment. Are we going back?

TAPT AND ROOSEVELT.
N, . h
fNE-'PENTJIS of the press of tho country is con
trolled 1V bier business, stand-put and conservative
interests. The Associated Press, which supplies the
majority of newspapers with telegraph news, is con
trolled 'by tlie large newspapers, which, if not owned by
the captains of industry are in full accord and sympathy
with the latter, llenco wo see nwsi 01 me iuwiwihms i
active in their denunciation of Theodore Koosevelt as
they were a short time since of La Kollette.
But these newspapers do not reflect public opinion.
The majoritv of voters are insurgent in proclivities not
onlv west, but east. The more studious of the insurgents
undoubtedly prefer La Kollette but Hoosevelt is still the
idol of the musses.
There is a strong fight on in each party for control be
twmrn lYvmrmuitivivi Mini roMi'timiiirics. There is really no
difference between the two parties except the name. All
the difference lies between the factions of the two.
We are daily told in the press that Taft is receiving
great ovations, that Ins campaign is maKing great iieau
way, that he is becoming more nnd more popular, that
Ti'Fnllottp is a collnmcd nhvsical wreck, that Roosevelt's
boom is a fizzle and in all
father o the thought.
Koosevelt will carry Oregon by an overwhelming vote,
Popularity cannot be liianufacturcd to order. Tuft's every
utterance'stamps him as a reactionary of the deepest dye,

-r TO LIGHT HIGHWAYS OF NEW YORK.
A BILL has been introduced in the Xew York state
legislature by Senator
for the experimental lighting ot ten miles ot unproved
highway. If this plan is approved concrete poles will he
erected i.OO feet apart on some designated highway and
high candlepower incandescent lamps installed on 12-foot
mast arms. Experts are practically agreed that a few
vears' test of this line will prove the feasibility nnd ccon
omv of lighting the state highways cverv night.
It was onlv a few veal's ago that nearlv cverv citv in
T5
this country was shrouded in darkness after nightfall. The
streets were unlighted and thieves, murderers, highway
robbers -and ruffians took advantage of this dark mantle
to ply their nefarious purposes. Jf people had to be
abroad on the streets after dark it was necessary to pro
tect them from accidents and ruffians by an abundance
of artificial light and now, as traffic Increases on the im
proved highways, it is equally important that the roads
be lighted every night.
It is evident that all the main highways will be lighted
in a few veal's, at the most, and this test svstcin in ITov
York state will be anxiously watched by every state in
the Union as well as foreign countries.
It will not cost much to accomplish this. A few years
ago such a scheme would have been impossible, because
tire lamps require too much attention, but the advent of
the new high candlepower metal filament incandescent
lamps are ideal for this purpose as they require no atten
tion and can be turned on and off from a reasonable dis
tance. This would eliminate lamp lighters, trimmers and
most of the work incident to old style lighting systems.
The poles will be of solid reinforced concrete .'50 to -10
feet high and will last for .100 years. These poles will
also be rented out to the various telephone, telegraph and
electrical distribution lines. It will be cheaper for such
companies to rent the concrete poles than it is now for
them to maintain a wooden pole line.
Another revenue will bo obtained from the various
electrical distribution stations of cities and villages who
are anxious to supply thefarming districts with light and
power but are now held back by the prohibitive cost of a
pole line for this work. They can rent the use of the
state poles for a nominal sum and thus reach all the farm
ers within a .mile or, two of the main highways.
It will be seen that the farmers are the ones to profit
most by this illumination. The automobilist will also en
joy tiro safety and convenience of a well lighted hiirhwav.
and he will be taxed to pay
who will receive the greatest beneht. lie will have the
advantage of a well lighted way whenever and wherever
he wants to drive alter dark, ho will bo protected from
highwaymen and tramps by an abundance of light, stud
under its rays he will be in less danger of being run down
by automobilists.
Our Apples Are Lallapaloosas
(r'rom tho Portland Spectator.)
Hero Is prajse for tho Hoguo river
valloy apple praise from a very Sir
Hubert of fruit Cousin George Har
vey, tho able editor of the best pe
riodical in tho country Harper's
Weekly. Tho charming tribute to
tho Jtogue rlvor valley's apple ap
pears In Harper's Weekly of March
9, as follews:
"Brother Hugh Ilumo, of tho Port
land Spectator, rises tp tho occasion
after tho manner of a born journal jeurnal
ist: "Tho Spectator decides that Har
por's Weekly has won, and hereby
presents to Cousin George Harvey,
tho oleverest editor in tho country, a
rod applo grown In tho Itogue river
valloy, Oregon tho best applo, from
tho most productive orchards In' tho
world.
"Wo return thanks for thin noble
specimen of the products of Hoguo
river valley. It Is a lallapaloo.a."
Soino kindly things have been said
of tho products of tho Valley of tho
Itogue- things that appeared to have
exhausted praise ituelf lu their hon
of these stories the wish is
here while every speech of

"White appropriating $25,000
his share, but it is the farmer
or. But never before havo tho beau
tiful apples of tho productive Itogue
valley been honored as lallapalnoiiaN.
Tho term Is at once catchy and en
dearing, musical and fitting.
If Colonol Harvey thinks ho much
of Oregon's apples in their raw slate,
I wonder what ho would say If lie
tasted their very soul as It is dis
tilled Into the nectar-llko apple-Jack
or tholr essonco In tho form of
elder hard or soft. But there lu no
uso wondering. Neither word nor
phraso is loft with which to charac
terize tho applo-Juek or elder made
from tho Oregon applo. Commomla
tion qulto outdid Itself when Cousin
George Harvey, of Harper's Weekly,
coined on behalf of our fruit tho
word "Lallapaloosa!" Long may it
wave.
