MURPHY
SAX FRANCISCO. Cnl., Jnn. 20.
Willie Hitchlo and Harlem Tommy
Murphy nro rcnintched today for n
twenty-round contest nt Coffroth's
Howard street arena on April 3. Trie
Bnnio conditions which were made
for tho proposed matches hold good,
Ritchie being truarantecd $13,000,
lo.e, win or draw.
Now n date has been definitely de
cided upon, Murphy plnnned today to
accept an eight weeks' vnudevillc en
gagement. He has nnnounccd that
ho will take on no opponents until he
L'etH n crack at tho title.
No stipulation was made in the
fight articles as to whether or not
tho principles will bo allowed to en
gage in n contest before that time.
It was believed that Kitehio will go
cast and engage in one or more ten
round bouts when his sprained ankle
heals.
Jim Buckley, Murphy's manager,
left for tho cast yesterday in re
sponso to n telegram telling of tho
serious illness of his father, who is
72 years old. Muqriiy will remain in
San Francisco until ho starts out on
his vaudeville tour.
FAIRBANKS BETTER
IS
HE KLAMATH NORTHWESTERN recently ve-
marked:
The tntl of tho big cistern hlltsard that scut tho mercury down to i!
below ioro tu parts of New York Statu reached Klamath Falls last night.
The Northwestern 's mistake is a common one. Mnnv
a person speaks about the coast getting the "tail end" of
an eastern storm, -when the reverse is true. Jf the North
western had stated that the tail of a bit? western storm
had sent the mercury down to 'Jo below zero in parts of
.New York it would have been more nearly correct.
Storms, so the weather bureau tells us, do not move
from points on the Atlantic across the plains to the Pacific
coast. A casual glance at a series of weather maps will
show that all high and low barometers, therefore, all fair
and foul spells of weather move in a generally west to
east direction after reaching the Pacific coast. In gen
eral, all weather over the earth's surface has a generally
west to east direction.
The weather forecaster on the Pacific coast finds it
difficult to forecast for more than twenty-four to thirty
six hours because his data is rather meagre, there being
no stations at proper intervals in the Pacific ocean. How-
ever, me iorccaster living on ine .Atlantic coast nas me
distinct advantage of the data gathered by the observers
on the Pacific coast, and can therefore forecast for three
or four days to a week ahead. The central weather
bureau at Washington now makes weekly forecasts, these
forecasts taking advantage of the fact that all weather
moves from west to castat the rate of from 400 to 000
miles a da v.
Forecasts for Oregon weather are made at Portland.
They are issued for eastern and western Oregon, the Cas
cades being the dividing line the assumption being that
there are only two kinds ot weather in the state. As a
matter of tact, each section has a climate of its own and
it is absurd to apply the predictions for Portland to the
Rogue River valley and as a result weather predictions
arc a standing joke in the communities of southern Or
egon. A comparison of forecasts with weather records will
convince anv one of the absurditv of the bonehcad svstem
now employed. For instance, Monday's prediction was
for fair weather for forty-eight hours, and with the white
flag flying, came the heaviest downpour of the season.
With rain signals flying for days, scarcely a drop of rain
tell.
Weather predictions for northern California made at
San Francisco are nearer correct for this section than
those made for Oregon at Portland. While admitting the
handicap of the forecaster in not having weather stations
out m the Pacuie, this alone does not explain the repeated
failures of the weather forecasts for southern Oregon
which are practically valueless to the public.

THE CRUEL WAR IS OVER
PASADENA, Col., Jan. 20. For

tho winter several weeks beforo tho
first of the year. Fairbanks not only
was ill but two deaths in his family
thoso ot his wife and his son's

Slnco coming to Pasadena he has
been in tho habli of taking long
walks, especially in tho morning, and

E
OF
T
THE cruel war at Copperfield is over. In spite of tho
frantic shrieks of the Oregonian and other lovers of
license, the circuit court has ruled that the governor was
X, 1 1 1 .1 -,-1- J .1 ,
wiui iu ins rigius in using tne nniina to rout tne demon
rum from gambling dens. The only corpse is that of the
rat that the commanding colonel shot on the fly as he kept
his lonely vigil over the whisky kegs.
Oregon has a spectacular governor. Oswald West is
a born advertiser. Whether or not his methods are ap
proved by all, they arc as picturesque as they are effective.
The game may not have been, in" the opinion of many,
worth the candle, but there is no question of the execu
tive's earnestness and sincerity.
A few gamblers and saloonmen in Copperfield thought
they were above the law. They captured the city admin
istration arid proceeded to run rough-shod over the com
munityignoring both state and local laws. Roth the
sheriff and prosecutor were prominent in the can't-do-it
club and so busy finding ways not to enforce tho law that
the' could find no way to interfere at Copperfield.
Warnings and requests from the governor were
ignored or ridiculed. The rum-selling officials insolently
defied the executive so a young lady was sent to show
them.the error of their way, accompanied by a detachment
of militia, which proceeded to confiscate roulette wheels
and whisky bands. Next time the governor makes a
request for the surcease of sin it will probably be duly
heeded.
While all do not agree with the governor's conception
of his duty and would leave minor local matters to home
rule, there is no question but that Oregon will be a cleaner
and better state because of Oswald West's law-enforcing
proclivities.
Value and Preservation of Hen Manure
I'lnttk I'Yoni Crow font's Platform
"Tho common school fund should
bo sacrmlly guarded and It may not
bo too lato to savo n portion of Uo
$;r.0.000 worth of Indemnity school
lauds which have during tho Inst
few years been practically lovt to tho
state."
(Nunment by West
"Tho above statumont I cither evi
dence ot the attorney general' gross
Ignorance or laud matters In this
state, or It Is evidence ot n deliberate
attempt to furnish a rotten plank tor
a meaningless platform. '
Tho records of tho state land board
will show that selections have boon
made to rover practically all losses
In school sections In this state and
that such selections have either boon
approved, or nro now pending beforo
congress or the departments at Wash
ington. Tho unsatisfied losses
amount to but 3000 acres. Thcro
are other surveyed sections amount
ing to 4 COO acres within tho bound
aries of forest reserves for which wa
had hoped to secure Indemnity, but
tho department Is holding against
such solectlons and It an exchange Is
secured It must como through an act
ot congress."
Crawford's Ktplnnatlon
"Tho stntotnent In my nnnouueoment
that seoms to bo questioned relates ta
tho following transactions?
"Two or thrco years apo tho state
land commissioner used up about CO,
000 acres ot what Is called Indemnity
school land base, being lands to
which the state was entitled, and for
which It might select government
lands In lieu of lauds lost to the
state or reconvcyod to tho United
States. Tho land commissioner se
lected In lieu ot this baso lands In the
vicinity of Abert and Summer lakes,
Iu Lake county.
"Lands so selected worn alkali
lands, worthless for any purpose
whatever, but were to be used, It at
all, by parties who were to endeavor
to reduco tho sodas and salts and
other mineral values from tho lakes."
Comment by West
"In making this stntement tho at
torney general has proven himself to
bo an unmitigated. If not a malicious
liar, for ho was In possession of all
tho facts long beforo making any
statemont In refcronco thereto, as
'"wljl Ijo, shown by u copy ( n letter
'sent hi hi by tho clerk ot tho statu
land board under the ditto of October
ait IBIS."
Itcvords of Ktato I .a ml Office
"Honorable A. M. Crawford, Attor
ney Uenernl, IIuIUIIiik. -Dear. Sir:
"Ih'forrlng to your request for In
formation mi to certain Indemnity se
lections made by tho state along tho
shorou of Summer and Abort lakos.
wish to say that these selection lists
whon Mrst fllod covered 33"!l acres,
or such lands as the company lens-
lug tho lakvti from thu statu thought
would bo necessary for thu successftil
operation of Its plant.
"llelng Informed Hint owing to a
chnbgo In Its plans thu bulk of these
lands would not bo needed by It, tho
snld selections wore withdrawn with
tho exception tu two lists covering
1)8". 0(5 acres along thu shores t.f
Abert lake and 302. 30 acres along
tho shon! of Summer lake. It Ik
deemed tidvtsahlu to hold theso lands
In o I'd or that tho state will own nt
least a few acres of shore lands aud
thus always have a base of operation
on tho shore side of tho tueandor Hue.
"Yours very truly,
(signed)
"O. 0. nilOWN.
"Clerk, Slate l.und Hoard."
A Correction by (lio Orcgmiiuu
"In Attorney (lenornl Crawford's
statement, as tulegrnphcd to The Ore
gonian from Hugetiu, It was said that
tho stato land commissioner had sur
reuded 'JCO.OOO of school land base.'
Through error this wns printed ns
'r.0,000 acres.' "
The Question and the Fact
Thu Question Is whnt has happonod
to tho f700.OUn.00 or the difference
between tho $750,000 00 alleged loss
as stated In Crawford's platform and
u0,000.00a being tho alleged loss as
per his la'st statement. The fact
are that not one penny Is being lost
and even the 591 acres of base men
tioned by Clerk llrown In his letter
to tho nttoruoy general Is being re
turned by tho government to tho stato
as tho government contends that tho
lands wo were selecting were inln
crnl. So oven nfter dropping hit
loss figures from $750,000.00 to
$50,000.00 he Is stating what Is ab
soltoly untruu and what makos It
worse he knows It.

TACOMA, Wash., Jan. 20. The

San Francisco lumber boycott on

Northwest mill men generally ex

agree that tho ttmo has como to

E. Garrecht was nominated today to
be federal attorney for tho eastern
district of Washington,
(From the Lake C'rvstnl (Minn.) Un
ion.) Lust Wednesday we took from the
post office u big bundle of papers
and on one end of tho wrapper was
written II. Humphrey, J'J Geneva av
enue, Medford Oregon. It was n boom
sheet und divided into section oil
which there wero eight mid each sec
tion had ubout 111 pages. We count
ed n few, tot t'ri''l "hd auit. On tho
examination of the hand writing wo
could have bet our lifo it was thut of
Henry Humphrey. This, is tho firnt
tune wo have heard from Henry for
a good many years, yet wp under
stnnds ho reads the Union weekly.
On pago five our attention wns at
tracted to a row of several bunga
lows and thu one on the corner of
this row was marked II. Humphrey.
It's n beautiful place.
Tho paper, tho Medford Mail Trib
une, is full of hnlftono cuts of orch
ard views that actually bewilder the
eye and puzzle the bruin. This is a
great country of ours.
To the Editer:
Although I did nut receive my copy
of your isMie of January 1, I miw
the one sent to my mui, Y. F. Kiddle,

sure that the paper would impress me
