PROGRAM. J. PLUV USING WATER SPARINGLY J. Pluv, has evidently doped out tho local situation In regard to Irri gation to the effect that tho people of the Rogue river valley arc capable to taklsg of themselves. Since Sep tember 1 tho sprinkler has been used sparingly, tho total precipitation dur ing that time being only 11.36 Inches, or S.73 Inches sby of normal, which Is 20.09. Orchardlsts and ranchers of tbo valley want raoro rain, for many of them are without Irrigation. JOLTS AND JINIUES lyAdlrtwn Tho Cornell student who earned his way through college on 39 cents a week hns failed in his course cf mathematics. In iho practical appli cation o that science however, his will remain nn uudyuig triumph. One way to settle the trouble iu Mexico is for each native to start nn individual revolution nnd to confine it to his own back yard. Whether 'tis better for part of us o drill or nil of us to fish, that is the question. Wo know a sailor from Epsom, England, who declares ho is the or iginal Kpsora suit.

THAT (mother referendum will lie invoked upon (lie University of Oregon appropriation bill is the asser tion of 11. J. Parkisou, who led the fight against tho appro priation two Aears ago, and who succeeded in materially crippling that institution by means of fraudulent petitions, (ions. Itttt The bills whieh it is proposed to send to the referendum from among the appropriations for the university, are those providing for $7o,000 for sundry improvements, $100,000 for an administration building and .-jTJ.BJUl for improvement purposes. Parkisou declared that the bill providing for consoli dation of the university with the Oregon Agricultural College will be placed on the ballot at the earliest moment nnd that the referendum on the buildings and improve ments appropriations, but not on the maintenance appro priations, has a direct bearing on a consolidation move. The total aggregate of the appropriations for the uni versity is $317,833 and for the Agricultural college $605,000. Parkisou says that no referendum will be placed to the Oregon Agricultural College appropriation bills, either for betterments or improvements, as it is part Of the scheme to allow the university to be maintained and tho agricultural college to develop. He is quoted as saying: "There is a strong sentiment to abolish the university and have the college at Corvallis add such studies as con ditions and the public demand and also to take the question cf support for tho school out of the hands of the legis lature by providing a proper direct millage tax." Here we have in clear outline the ultimate aim of the controlling powers of the O. A. C. as expressed by their political agent that docs the dirty work. The program is: First, systematic starving of the university by refer endiiig by fair means or foul, its appropriations and thus preventing its growth and development; though permit ting a dwarfed existence. Second, the forced and unnatural growth and develop ment, by inflation, swollen appropriations and padded enrollments of the Agricultural College; the duplication on a cheap scale, of university departments, and the grad ual absorption of the vital and popular branches of uni versity work. Tliird. the final oboition of the university and the furth er aggraudizment and enlargement of the Oregon Agricul tural College as the sole state institution, for the 6. A. C favors consolidation through swallowing its rival. "When this shall have been accomplished, the O. A. C. favors the millage plan of support to take it out of politics, wncn it nas no longer need to play politics, until then the O. A. C. will oppose the millage plan, and if it is forced will come in for special appropriations just as the state normal is doincr. What is the university going to do about it? It is allright to say public sympathy is with. the university and sit down and wait for indication, but it reminds one of the hunger strike of the suffragettes rather hard on the subject. Praise for Reames at Salem (Salem Capital Journal. ( Thcro haB been much quiet talk around tho legislative balls that It Governor West adheres to his re peatedly expressed determination to retire from politics at the end of bts term, his Influence and support will go toward making Clarence I. Ueames, the representative in tho house from the joint Jackson-Douglas district, his successor. Tho Medford lawyer has repeatedly shown himself to be ono of the ablest and strongest members of the house, despite the fact that he is ono of a hopeless little minority In that body. He Is a hard fighter, and yet fights straight and parliamentary, and with out Indulging In personal flings. And, above all, he possesses a keen sense of humor and fairness. Reames, de spite his politics, Is one of the popu lar members of the legislature. He has come to tho front strong tho past two weeks. Ho is a close personal and political friend of Governor West, nnd has ex erted, perhaps, the widest Influence In obtaining for tho governor what few crumbs of Joy and comfort tho latter has obtained from the legisla ture. Leaders of tho Democratic party of Oregon have been keeping a close eye on the legislature, and Its few Demo cratic members, both for campaign material and possible candidates for tovernor. Goislp has It that ltearacs looks to them like splendid guberna torial timber, and puts him ahead of J. K. Howard, tho Douglas county representative, who, It Is argued, would bo handicapped as n possible candidate for governor by tho fuct that be is a minister. Howard, like Ilcames, Is ono of tho able and iiopular members of tho homo. Tho Glendnlo preachor Is, In addition to being pastor of a Presby terian church, a bunker and a busi ness man. Ho has been very actlvn and fearless in legislative affairs, and so broad and fair Is ho that ho pos sesses tho confldcnco and respect of every faction and clln.no In tho house a somewhat remarkablo fact, con sidering the prejudlco In many cir cles against a minister In politics. Howard Is also a splendid orator, aud, liko Reames, would mako things hum In a campaign. MOTORCYCLE COPS TOWATCHSPEEDERS .Chief Hlttson of the Medford police forco today announced that hu had appointed a motorcycle cop to trail speeding autos In the city and bring them to time, Tho new officer will go on duty at once. The identity of the now cop Is not disclosed In order that ho may fol low autos flthout tho drivers know ing of it. His cycle la equipped with a standard speedometer, which will support testimony regarding speed. 'Speeding In tho city Is n6t as prev alent as it was," stated tho chief to day, "but onco in awhllo chronic speeders touch It up a bit. This has got to stop." KOTICK. Notice Is borcby given that tho undersigned will apply nt tho regular meeting of tho city council March 4, 1913, for a llcenso to sell mnlt,splrl tous' and vinous liquors at 31 South Front Btreet. tor a period of sit months.
