James "W. Dunlop w ho has been actively en gaged in poultry raising for somo jeara)l8 the promotor of tho com pany and aside from 'taking a large amount of tho stock will manage the business. The new company Is incor porated for $25,000 and will erect its plant on a 23 acre tract northeast of tho city, said to be Ideal for such a purpose. According to tho pros pectus it will be three or four years before the p'lant will bo in full opera tion as the number of laying hens to bo added each year will bo chosen from tho best stock. Success with a small plant led Mr. Dunlop to take up the matter of a larger one. During tho past two years ho has been very successful and has closely studied the business which is said to bo one in which success de pends ontlrely upont the brains put Into It. Mr. Dunlop with 200 laying buns has made them pay him S2 a year net and ,njates that this Is not a high average. Tho poultry plant will bo one of tho'largest in southern Oregon. The clltnate hero Is said to be Ideal for such a purpose whllo tho tract of land secured has all of the qualities de manded for such a purpose. Water can bo had in abundance with which to grow kale, clover and wheat while tho soil is high and dry containing considerable gravel in which Is of great benefit to tho chickens. tMr Dunlop's success with a smal ler plant led his friends to suggest thy matter of a larger plant. When he stated that ho was handicapped by a .lack of funds for tho erection of tho necessary buildings and the like thoy suggested a stock company to hlin and offered to subscribe llborally to the capital stock. Tho company Jius'now been incorporated, tho great er.ipurt of tho stock subscribed and building will start soon in order that spring will find them ready to proceed. 10 TAKE "MOVIES" v OF LAKE TRIP -For tho purposo of tnklng moving pictures of the trip of scientists from all' iioctloiiQ of tho globo to Crater JUiku, two export anovlng picture men will accompany tho party next month Hooe'rdlng to Will G.

Six- max im hmuir ' u ,u ;M$MJMJi'. Benton Bowers on the Medford Bridge Ashland, Ore., August 21, 1912. To tho Editer: Replying to your nrtlclo In issue of the 29th, headed Bowers ct al, of Ashland, and other articles published In tho past that wero absolutely without any foundation whatever, but published for the purposo of creating animosity between myself and Medford citizens, and animosity between Medford and Ashland, will say: I am only reporting tho fact when I say, that it Is common talk among the people throughout Jackson coun ty, that tho Medford papers are owned and controlled by tho saino push, that has dominated or con trolled the action of tho county court for the last year or so. This may not bo true. Hut ns a reader of those papers for tho last two years, I submit that in their editorial opin ions their treatment of many public questions which touch tho taxpayers pocket, thoy give tho Impression of being practically under one, manage ment. Somo one in framing tho Medford charter undertook to throw tho boundaries of a city about tho place and yet leave tho county responsible for building and maintaining tho county roads through Medford. Tho county roads stop at the boundaries of un incorporated town and our Su premo courts have ruled that all roads and hlghwaya insldo tho corporate limits are under tho control of tho city government, and that tho coun ty court has no authority over the highways Insldo tho rlty limits. And In regard to tho legislature saying that tho county should pay for bridges on tho county roads in tho Medford district, Malu street has been a city street for 12 yemra prior to tho act, and has lost Its status as a county road. But could tho legisla ture make the county responsible for Medford's bridges after giving Med ford in Its charter full control of all roads and highways Insldo Its corpor ato limits. Now, to get right down to tho small intestines of this matter. Is It not a fact, that the push In Med ford do not represent tho bono and sinew of that fair clty7 Is it not a fact that a few frenzied financiers, are on the rough edge of dlspalr for public money to spend, and are push ing this brldgo question? Now, if Medford wants an elegant re-lnforced viaduct 100 feet long, tho full width of tho street, with arc lights, und street rails for street railway, and a twenty foot span for tho P. & E. It. It., Medford can 'build it, and no ono will object If Medford Is willing to pay for it. But fqr Medford to ask tho county to build tho bridge and tho county court to agreo to any Buch a proposition, (a an abuso of discretion, and a manifest injustice to tho tax-payers of tho rest of tho county. Do tho citizens and taxpayers of Applegate and Evans Creek, Sams Valley and Butto Creok country want this luxury for tho broad cloth persuasion of Medford, or, is It In fact an extension of the frenzy which, characterized tho Medford press this past two years playing fast und looso with tho tax payers hard earned dol lars. ,I want to Inqulro, who pays for .theso things. Does Medford pay for thorn? Whoro Is tho money coming from to pay for this proposed bridge, or viaduct that Jackson county Is asked to build? Who is pushing theso extraordinary expenditures any bridges on tho county roads Instead of tho city streets. Yours .truly, BENTON HPWKK8. UNEARTH PLOT TO BLI IW'UP SAN DIEGO ELSEWHERE tho Mrtil Tribune prints n communi cation alleged to be from Benton Bowel's, the Mle hrJttcd Ashland progressive who enjoined tho building of tho Medford bridge because tho county court would not eonstruce a bridge for hia own use at his 'Polo vanchl It is not at, all improbable that Mr. Bowers eoUld prove a complete alibi regarding the letter. It is dated Ashland, 'Aug. 21, nnd tho Ashland papers state that .Mr. Bowers loft Ashland Aug. 20 for the Willamette valley, doubtless to stimulate his progressive spirit in a more congenial atmosphere. This fervent communication, which breathes in its ever line so much patriotic ardor and solicitation for the mil down-trodden taxpaver emanated from the office ami upon "f.t; personal stationery from the office of the honorable k D. Briggs, and is couched in the peculiar phraseology,' COunty court, that win regard thn fairlv bristening with Briggishism, of that sometime! law, and the public interests by m corporation lawyer, ndw theself-constituted MeMalum of in tit road fund for building Southern Oregon m whose behalf my. Bowers has recently been passing the hat to reimburse for his patriotic ob struction. Tt is not intended to cast any aspersions upon the abilitv of Mr. Bowers as a letter writer, but merely to shield his fame during his absence. It is not to be doubted for a minute but that Mr. Bowers could, if he wanted to, soar in eloquence to the hoights of "small intestines." No one who knows him, doubts it. Nor is it to be ques tioned but that Mr. Bowers is capable of settling offhand in advance the problems before the supreme court. His civic patriotism is also beyond question, for did he not compel the people of Ashland to run the city boundaries around his home so that he could enjoy city privileges without paying city taxes? And do not all patriotic warrant shavers want count' construction to cease, so that the money can be used to redeem at par warrants bought below par? The questions regarding the right and obligations of Jackson county to assist-in the construction of the Medford bridge, as Multnomah county assists in the Portland bridges, the charter- obligations and restrictions and other legal points involved, are now before the sup reme court for final solution. Pending decision, argu ment, except concerning the animus paraded as patriotism, of the obstructionists, is useless. The Medford bridge is u public necessity. Medford is therefore spending its agreed share in construction, pending a supreme court decision on the balance. The contract is let to a Marshfield man. How it benefits a "few frenzied financiers on the rough edge of dispair" is a puz zle only brilliant Minds like those of Mr. Bowers or his epistle writer can fathom. Medford pays a fifth of the county taxes and is entitled to a share of the improve ments and has received none. If the county court has wasted $500,000 as Mr. Bowers sayg, it was with his consent and approval. Medford didn't get it. Why did he not enjoin the construction of roads and bridges in other sections?- "Why wait until stirred by petty smalltown iealousy and enmity to strike at Medford alone? Why di'd he not enjoin the Derby road, if the mon ey was wasted? Mr. Bowers, or the learned writer who uses his name, breaks into the realm of truth when he confesses that one of the reasons for his display of patriotic fervor in the tax payers' behalf, is to help elect a new county court that will distribute the county funds as he thinks proper. And to help the election along, recourse is had to such appeals to sectional prejudice as this erudite epistle. It is well, however, for the world to be informed of the pure and disinterested motives that actuate Mr. Bowers in his assumed role of guardian angel of the down-trodden taxpayer, for if Mr. Bowers, or his amenuensis, did not thus take the public into confidence, how could the people ever suspect it? So when Mr. Bowers asks again for con tributions, come through with the coin needed to complete the halo, for halos cost money and lawyers demand fees. SAN DIKCO, Cnl, Aug. 2a. The pollco wero busy today trying to got confessions from Mx ut tho seven men arrested at Kl Cajon yesterday and who, tho pollco declare, wora on tholr way to San UIcro to dynnmlte tho city.
