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.

Hdltor of the Tribune:
Tho presumption of tho Med ford

headed "Socialists Kick on tho Now

(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

ficial to tbo health of tho community,
than to waste It on any Instruments
of destruction. Let this S20.000

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.
