V.l "f SEnLERS SEEK REPEAL OF BILLS PASSED OVER VETO flALUM, Plt. 11, Governor West linn received tho following lottrr from a Lake county pioneer concern ing the vetoed Thompson bills which tho legislature pawed over tho veto nnd which wilt he repented It n hill recently Introduced passes. It sets forth tho fooling that exists among Lake county settlers: Lnkevlow, Oro., .Tnn, 30, 1913. Governor Oswald West, Salem, Oregon. Denr Sir: I have been Informed that State Sonator V. Lair Thompson of Lake county, Intended to ttrgo the passage of n hilt providing n method for re clamation of swamp nnd lake lands. Last year Mr. Thompson, a Mr. McKendrl And others formed a com pany for tho purpose of taking the water out of Goose lako and selling water rights to farmers at the south end of tho lako in California. In or der to do that they would draw tha water down In tho lako without doubt. Lake Makes Hoy At the north end of tho lake, the lako water makes thousands of tons of hay. The lake has always receded sufficient to cut and stack tho hay Thero aro a number of settlers taking up this land under the Pre emption and Homestead laws who aro working and making a living from tho land. If Mr. Thompson succeeds in legalising this company to us tho water of tho lako and It lowers tho water, then this land becomes almost worthless. It could not bo farmed as It overflows for a little whllo in the spring of tho year, then settles back to the level In the lako and would not prod u co tho hay as It usually does. Tho different irrigation pro jects which will cut oft the usual flow of water into the lake will have a tendency to lower tho waters and will no doubt bo all the lako will Btand. Tho lake has never overflowed but onco since I have resided hero (which ia 34 years) and that was caused by a heavy north wind. As soon ns tho wind subsided tho flow stopped. The land that would be reclaimed by lowering tho waters of tho lako aro practically worthless as it is alkali or soda. Thero aro now bunches of tulo growing In the shallow water that aro spreading that In a couple of generations more might form a soil that would produco something, but it tho water was removed it would end the growth of the tule. Low to Settlers In order to draw the water out of tho lake it would have to be done at tho south' end or in California, consequently tho settlers of Orecon would havo to suffer loss. I own a small amount of lako land that would be worthless except a small amount of pasture. If tho bill that Mr. Thompson brings before tho legislature should Interfere with the rights of the set tlers, or the waters of Goose lake, nnd ho should succeed In passing the bill beforo the legislature, I ask your prompt veto. When this company was formed for the purpose of tak ing tho water out of the lake and published in tho Lake County Ex aminer steps were takeu Immediately to notify our representatives at Washington, D. C, and the scheme was dropped at that time. It is pos sible that Mr. Thompson docs not havo this scheme In view. If so well nnd good. If not, wo havo confi dence in you, that you will guard the best interests of tho masses of the state, nnd it a bill Is passed that don't look Just right apply tho veto ns you did two years ago. You were highly commended in this vicinity for using tho veto ns you did. Yours very respectfully, (Slngned) It. K. TUNIC. OTttWON, TnWDAY. TETWTAnY 1 1. 101.1. .'."i'1";1."."'. .. i' ' 'i.'-u.i.'i1.

PRINCE KATSURA TO AS 0 0 REIN 1 PREMIER I COMMUNICATION. Hdltor of the Tribune: Tho presumption of tho Med ford Sun au expressed liy tho article headed "Socialists Kick on tho Now Armory I'lau," is certainly correct (for once.) Without having author ized the Sun to volco our sentiments It poes without saying that wo will mako every honorable effort to do feat any, and all plans teudlng to burden the people of Medfor'd with a 130,000 debt which attor all would have for its aim an attltudo o( threat against the workers. Far hot ter lmvo this money spent for use ful improvements that will bo bene ficial to tbo health of tho community, than to waste It on any Instruments of destruction. Let this S20.000 bo expeuded by tbo city of Medford on storm iieworo, ana repairing mud holes in front of poor peoples' homes. OBO. H. MILLATt, Boclullst Couucllmau of 3rd Ward TOKJO, Feb. 11. Forced by re- nowal of the iierco rioting of yester day, in which six persons wero killed and scores wounded. Priiicu Kutsum forraully resigned today the premier ship of Japan. Ihe premier was practically fotced to renigu some davs niro when the constitutional party, bended by .Mar quis Suionji, forced a vote of lack of confidence in the government by the diet. After this occurred the mikado ent for Saionji and ordered bun to recede from bis stund of opposition to Kutsura's policies. Saoiuji com plied, but his colleagues decided to disregaid tbo imperial command, and when the sentiment of the populace becuine too great to bo ignored, Kut sura today was forced out of bouse life. Kutsura's fonnnl resignation today is tbo greutest blow over dealt to tbo prestige of tbo mikado by the over growing republican sentiment of Ja pari. JU-duriiig tho CW or I.ltlng. Tho announcement of tho Pacific Motor Supply Company clvlng reduced prices on cost of Hunting tho motor car by acetyllno gas Is In lino with this company's policy of making tho cost of operating motor cars In Med ford no greater thuu in tho larger centers of population, Tho auto owners of Medford prob ably do not realize that thero Is uo other small town like Medford In tho United States who has an exclusive automobllo supply business, Tho well known policy of this company to glvo service nt Portland prices Is ono which deserves tho encourage ment of every automobllo owner In Southern Oregon, Thoso who re- mombor tho prices of supplies three yearB ago in this valley, know the beneficial effects which this local supply houso has exerted since it commenced business.
