Ut UN IS GEniNG RESULTS Tho turn palpi! rocantlv- Innupu rated In tho city nnd utllcj to tecuro Irrigation to cover between 30.000 nml C0.000 acres of land la doing much toward bringing about a better undcrstnndlhj: of the matter on the part of tho land owners of the val ley am! In comequence many of them liaro been calling recently at the of fice of tho Itoguo River Valley Canal company and discussing tho matter. Many havo availed them selves of the opportunity of contract ing for water, tho contract belnp p'lnccd In escrow until a sufficient nrrcago Is signed up to Insure tha construction of the new high line ditch. The signing up of these contracts means much to tho city and valley. Not only does It mean that larger re turns will bo secured from tho. land but that over a million dollars will be spent in tho valley at once In con struction work. The pouring out of this money In tho valley will revive business In a great degree. Irrlga tfon will bo a lasting good as It wilt mean that tho smallcd holder will bo nblo to make a living on his small tract, In many Instances between rows of young trees, waiting until they como Into bearing. ' "Prospects are bright for an early start on active construction work," states J. T Sullivan of the company, "of course we havo not as yet the required acreage signed up but wo aro receiving requests for Informa tion and data from many landowners whom wo havo heretofore failed to Interest In tho project. In practical ly eery case cnllghtment means tho signing of a contract. "It la unfortunato In a senso that tho valley is so situated that irriga tion Is not an absoluto necessity. Tbero can bo no question as to Its value and benefit but this is hard to bring homo to thoao who havo pro duced crops in tbo past for many jcars without Irrigation. Tho dry j cars they havo had thpy have, ... v" ..... ttC- ceptcd nnd let It go at mat Irrlga- tlon Is in reality a great Insuranco In tho valloy. "Tho prlco at which we offer a water right Is In fact ry low. Put ft on tho land nnd tho water will soon pay for Itself. Of this fact there is no doubt. ' "Wo aro very highly gratified by tho results tho campaign recently In augurated has brought. Tho future looks very promising indeed. En- IAIN FR i llGhtment ns to terms ana resuus "know,, t0 tno nionecr families of ill that the land owners have needed lo havo them realize tho valuo of our proposition." 'Pinnc for ihn holding of a mass meeting in tho Interests of Irriga tion In tho Itoguo Rlvor valloy were begun Thursday by tbo Commercial club committee hnlng this branch of tho work In charge, and February 22, Washington's birthday, selected as tho date. It Is planned to havo ir rigation authorities of 'noto from other sections of tho northwest speak on tho valuo of water to prosperity, with addresses by Medford and southern Oregon men. It Is expect ed that every section of tho valloy devoted to agrlculturo will bo roprc sonted.

Howlott of Huglo Point died last night after n long 111 jiess, Tho funeial will bo hold Sat urday uftornoon. MIbs Howlett was born near 13aglo 1'lnt, nnd has lived nearly ull of her Jlfa thero.

(ho Oroijoiiuui assails anyone (hoy popn larizc him so thoroughly tainted is its support. Uy its persecution of Y. Sr?. lT'loii', the paper is likely to nml.e him governor. "All tho reforms he (IT'Ron) has proposed through the Oregon system had as their ultimate his present service to Joseph Fels. Thus l'Ron has always smelled his particu lar from the general weal," says tho Oregonian among other compliments. !Mr. tT'J?en is a single.-! axer. The Fols fund is a pnhlie subscription to defray the expense of the single tax propa ganda, to which llr. Fels contributes a dollar for every dollar received from other sources. Mr. r'Ron until re cently received a salary of $2,100 a year from the Fels fund as attorney for it, to defray expenses in tho cause of tho single tax theory. There was nothing questionable or disgraceful in this connection. Mr. U'Uon was a single-taxer long before there was a Fels fund. Being a poor man he could not afford to devote all his enemies to the work of advancing the doctrine unless his means of livelihood wore assured nnd tho Fels fund did this. He probably eonld have drawn ten times the salary from land and tiniboi'hogs, if ho had chosen to drop the work, and thereupon been placed upon a pedestal by the tory newspaper. ' Mr, U'Reifs record is too well known to be permanent ly soiled by the mud thrown by the Oregonian. I le has led the revolution for popular government over the obstacles thrown in his path by the Oregonian, and while he makes many mistakes, his influence has been for immense good. Hut all the reforms that Mr. U'Ken has aided have been but preliminary to the greatest reform of all tho single tax. Without it there can be no equality in taxation no equality in opportunity. And it is because tho single lax will destroy the Oregonian's foundation of special privilege, that it is assailing one of its prophets. THE SUPERIOR COURT GRAFT. npilELatourette hill which purports to reform the.judic A ial system of Oregon is probably the weakest measure that ever boi e the label of reform. It adds a burden of $."0,00() annually upon the tax payers of the state and creates nine extra judges presum ably because jurisdiction of the new court has been ex tended to probate matters. Aside from giving the now court original jurisdiction of the probate business there is no reform except the creation of nine sinecures and the only thing superior in the system is the increase in salary, f Taking Josephine county as an instance, aside from'u few ex parte divorce cases, the circuit judge has not tried n half dozen cases in that county in tho last six months. Josephine county is only cited as an example. There are other districts created by the new law where the same consideration exists and where there is not a month's real work in the year for the occupant of this $1000 sinecure. The bill ought to be defeated, it is not a reform in any sense and adds an enormous burden to the taxpaver with out compensating benefits. It is just the sort of half baked legislation to be expected of a legislature that has introduced 939 new laws, and acted on ai in 31 davs! GEORGE S HOWARD ,IS Gcorgo S. Howard, son of J. Howard, father of Medford, died at tho Sacred Heart hospital at an early hour today. The f unoral will bo held at Wccko & McGowan's chapel Sun day afternoon nt ono o'clock, Itcv. W. F.
