Mana, Dale, the prlclpal female character in the play, stands for the highest typo ot womanhood, and through this character the playwright makes his appeal to tboso instincts in woman which, once aroused, must surely awaken her to a sense of the wonderful responsibility she bears toward humanity.

NON1C go further in encouraging ami assisting tho de velopment of natural resources, than the .Mail Tri bune. The capitalist who invests his money is entitled to fair return and a square deal and he has always received it from this paper. But tho rights of tho people are paramount to any other consideration and when any corporation, not content with reasonable rights and returns, attempts to obtain a monopoly that will throttle future development, t is time, to call a halt. It was in the interest of the people that the Mail Trib une recently called attention to efforts of the California Oregon Power company to obtain a monopoly of the waters of the Hogue river and its tributaries, in the cases pending before the board of control The company is entitled to reasonable protection of its investments, particularly at Prospect, and will probablv receive such protection. The Mail Tribune did not comment upon this feature. What it did object to, and what in the interests of the community, must be vigorously contested, is the alleged right to all the waters of the 'Rogue between (told Way and Prospect because the company has an emergency plant at Gold Kay which it is claimed uses practically all of the waters at low stage. This monopoly, if upheld, would prevent the construction of needed irrigation systems upon which the future prosperity of tho valley depends. Supt. Stoddard of the power company, in his reply, states: Tho CalifornlaOrogon Power company has no desire to Interfere with any leKltlmato.jtistjr of water for Irrigation purpose's, but there are. cases where land owners are claiming three or four times as much water us they can over use, .Most or the feasible Irrigation ditches on upper Rogue river are already constructed. The land lying along the Itoguc river above Upper Table Rock lie1 In a buries of benches and rolling foot hills having nn ele vation of from 50 oT?i feet above the water In the river and It Is easier and cheaper to put water on n'8 ,tttlll D" means of electric pumping plants than by constructlnR tulles of dUch, which Is expensive to construct, waste ful of water and requires constant repairs. ElectrWViniplng of wateriwlll make Irrigation possible on thousands of acres of land, that cannot now be reached by any stysteui of gravity ditches, making It possible to pi'imp from wells, streams and reservoirs, ami onto lands above trie reach of any gravity system. If the -company has desire to interfere with any legit imate user of water for irrigation purposes, whj' Ibis con tost to secure a monopoly i A conduit must some da' be constructed through ")eb enger Gap to irrigate Sams Valley. The Table Rock or Bybee conduit and other ditches must be enlarged to irri catc several thousand additional acres. Other conduits must bring water in the future to other large tracts of land. All of this will be impossible if the comnanv's claim to monopoly is confirmed. JMectrie pumping plants are practical ouiv tor river bottoms and bench lands immediately adjacent, to the ( streams. It is a very fine scheme (for the company) to restrict future irrigation to those willing, to install these plants, thus furnishing, a1, market for power, and enabling 'tiie company-'to'olier'the water as a bonus for the use ot power and that is what the scheme amounts to. This feature would not bo nffectqd by the construction of large conduits there is water enbugh for all. Tho power-possibilities of the Eogue wore first realized Tjy Col. Frank H. Ray and Dr. O. R. Ray. The' policy fol lowed by tnem was an exceedingly broad and beneticiai onet They were the first developers on a large scale, in the valley. Previous to tho construction of the Prospect plant, Col. Ray, in an interview in the Mail Tribune, stated that one of the main reasons for the new plant, was that he realized that the development of the valley calltid for the use of a portion of the water above Gold Ray in irriga tion enterprises, and the Prospect plant would not inter fere with this development. This broad policy has apparently been reversed by the low owners, who seek through an emergency power plant uiai is in use oniy a portion ot inc time, to monopolize an tlic waters of the stream. 30Y PUGILIST QUITS RING WITH $200,0' . . . - mmd 1 COSTS rwCKCVf Mc r.H.

The commission tries to convey the impression that the rate law is unintelligible and that it cannot fathom it part of its program to discredit the law with the public. The commission understands perfectly well what the railroad law means. A similar measure was introduced at the last session of the legislature and killed in committee by the commission. Its attitude is one of picpie and re sentment because the system of making rates was taken out of its hands by the people. The commission has always sanctioned a system of rates that discriminated in favor of Portland and against the smaller cities. It has thus helped retard the legitimate development of the state. Reform in rates, to be acceptable to the commission, must be initiated and promulgated by it. Otherwise it is "unintelligible." The new rate law is perfectly simple and requires no 'interpretation." The commission as well as the rail roads understand it perfcctlf. Monopolizing Rogue River To tho editer: Your editorial In Saturday's paper was timely and to tho point and should serve as u war ning to tho people of tho valley of losing er rights to tho waters of Roguo river. Mr. Stoddard in his reply cites the state water law that "Whoever develop.es, tho waters of n stream and puts them to a beneficial use, Is entitled" to thoso waters." Consequently us they havo developed a power at Gold Ray which In a dry time needs all tho water ot the ltogue, thoy proposo to grab it and interdict any further drainage of tho river, put u strait Jacket on all fu ture irrigation developments above Gold Ray except when they furnish tho power to pump with. Tho Intention to do all this is so read." If not why aro all thoso "friendly" suits brought by them against the various Individuals mid small companies having witter rights ubovo Gold Ray? It Is to pinch their Wator right down to tho lowest limit thoy can to tho acrcaga thut is net uolly wutered at present, preventing any further expansion. Thcro aro ditches In the area men tioned that occupy pructicully tin only avallablo route of convoying water to hundreds and thousands or acres. Theso ditches uro general!) being ectended us fast us tho owner's means will permit. Should such boneflclal progress bo prevented? Cut down tho water right to tho pros, eut uso of water and you condemn all this land to a hopeless aridity.
