PEAXE. who signs himself "Onnlmn of tho Sleepy Seventh Ooinimny" has answered in the ri- ".. . r tit t , a .ueuioru oim tne Ainu Triimno s eutronni iv a more or less personal at tuck upon its editor, whioh is reprinted in today's issue, so that hoth sides of tho armory question ean bo presented. The Mail Tribune will however stick to tho text, leaving tho courageous captain a mononolv of personalities, which however entertaining, have nothing to do with tho issue. Suffice it to say that the Mail Tribune is not, nor anyone connected with it, financially interested in thojNhtntoriuni. "Sleepy Seventh" is a good name, and one that is likely to stick. If the officers of the company were not asleep, wity uiu uiuy win i uiim it was iqo uue ro introduce legis lative bills in the usual method, befortf requesting the Jackson delegation to introduce tho armory appropriation unit as a matter ot tact, it was because tho officers thought that a special bill was not necessary, and that the 19.11 appropriation of $40,000 annually for two years Tor armories was alive, although it expired by limitation Pec. 31, 1912. Yet Captain Peanc savs: "Tho officers of the sleepy seventh, were In touch with tho representn lives before they loft Mcdford anil have been ever since they hnvo been away and the conclusion reached by Mr. Carkln was to ask for $20,000 at this time and endenvor to secure tho balance In tho future as $2.1,000 Is tho largest amount over asKed for in the state for an armory." Yet, within the last ton days officers of the Seventh were under the supposition that a special appropriation bill was unnecessary, and argued to that effect in the Mail 'lMbuuo office, and were shown tho statutes in question in the Mail Tribune's copy of the code and session laws. Furthermore, members of tho Jackson delegation two weeks ago were ignorant of the fact that tin armory appro priation was sought. Mr. Peanc further savs: "Tho law requires first the sunt shall be raised by tho town or city asking for an nrmorr. then a like amount shall bo raised by the rounty, after which tho state will appropriate an amount vqual to the amount raised by both." This is the point raised by the Mail Tribune. The Sleepy Seventh asks Mcdford to annrom-iiitn &L0.000 for an $80,000 armory, telling the people that the state will contribute half, and then the state is reouestcd to imt un 1 Art" rf 1 ,4.4-lSX rl t i m . . omy jfzo,jw, so tuat u an .u,uuu structure is hunt, another appeal must bo made to the state with a chance of its re jection, or Mcdford must make up the $15,000 deficient v. It is not a business proposition. Premature haste was shown in issuing the call for the bond election, before it was known what tho state would do. As a matter of fact, city 6ff icials were assured bv the military men that the $40,000 was already available" and the "Sleepy Seventh" dreamed that it was. Cantain Peanc informed the council that the $40,000 was already available in the hands of the military board, and it was unon this a. ... - " 1 supposition, the bond elpction was called. The state funds are not available until 90 days after legislative adjournment, and thero is plenty of time to call bond elec tions after the appropriation bill passes. In a published statement issued last Sunday, signed bv Messrs. Peane, Osgood and Foss, as officers of the com pany, the following assertions arc made: 'Tho special election for tho purpose of raising the sum of twenty thousand dollars with which to assist In tho building of an armory. In tho city of, Mcdford. will be tho first step toward securing from tho county an equal amount of twenty thousand dollars, and from tho state legislature an amount equal to that raised by tho city and county together or forty thous and dollars with which to purchase tho site, and erect tho building." Instead, of Medford's contributing a quarter, as repre sented, we find it really contributing a third. Instead of an $80,000 armory, we ect a G5.000 one. if f hn hill nnRo Yet tho same legislature gives Eugent $25,000 for a $50,000 armory. Roseburg $20,000 for a $40,000 itnnorv.

T .,; . mu u -ruu,uw uniiuiv, costing inc city $12,5009 It was because of the undue haste and unbusiness-liko methods, as well as the discrimination shown against Mcd ford, as compared with other cities, that the Mail Tribune made its protest, and suggested that Mcdford wait uutil it knows what it is about before voting $20,000. We don't know whether we are to have a $65,000 armory, or an $80,000 armory, or any state aid at all consequently colored pictures are fakes and elections at this time un- called lor. There arc many other crounds tho nrmnrr nnuA hi, attacked upon because it is unnceded and unproductive cud therefore an economic waste, because it fosters militar- slnco they havo been away nnd the conclusion reached by Mr. Carkln was to ask tor $20,000 nl this tlnui and endeavor to sccuro tho balance In the future as $ati,000 Is (hn larg est amount over asked for In the stale tor nn armory, and then onro. Kver.v communication received has been carefully kept from tho want to bo a socialist by George Millar says nit, except ono and that ono was Im mediately published to try lo hurt tho armory vote, tho very next mall bringing a letter of caution from tho some writer not lo publish tho cor respondence. I wonder If Mr. Putnam's words of praise for tho uatutorlunt' nro due to any shares of stork he might have and a careful thought for the month ly rental yes. Now would It bo better to drop tho armory question and let sonio other town get all the good that U coming or to drop the on and only Mr. Cut nam and go on Just as thounh noth ing had happened.

Captain of Sleepy Seventh Company GAS FUMES ENDANGER ENGINEMAN'S LIFE Win, Jones, of Mouninin avenue, Ashland, an engineer on tho South ern Pacific, was ovorcomo with gas Friday evening while passing through a tunnel on tho Siskiyou mountains. Jones na bringing n freight from Weed tn Ashland and had reached the last tunnol nn tho mountain, When nearly through he dropped to the floor of tho cab. The fireman could give him no assistance as tho train was almost ready to deucend tho steep grade. When they reached Ashland ho was removed lo tho hos pital, whero he soon revived.
