DAY SHOW IS DUE
HtRE ON MONDAY
The vivid Tcenes which were part
nnd jwtrrcl of the strenuous life of
the frontier n the past jreneralion
will lie graphically nnd tnttliftilly.cn
netcd when the Irwin Ilm. Cheyenne
1'rontier Day Wild Wwl Show comes
to Medford.
The cowboys nnd cowgirl from
the Yd ranch of the owner, Chnrle
It. nml Frank Invin, as writ ns other
)iart of the ohh country, who have
Ix't-n part of the life which they de
pict, have made this show fauiou
because of it gentunene's.
The thrilling contefts between rid
ers and outlaw horse?, wild steers
and buffalo, the skill of crack
pliot., the adroitness of the knight
of the lasso and the da.h and vim of
the trick riders, who seem part of
the saddle, are some of the varied
and picturesque feature of the Ir
win Bros.' exhibition, which has made
it a fascination to the older folk
niul an hixtorical revelation to the
youngsters. The strenuous day. of
the fast fading frontier arc enacted
Jy the people who were reared in the
environs of the corral and ranch.
The atmosphere of the western life
i preserved in the performance.
The Irwin Bros.' Cheyenne Fron
tier day has been an institution in
the weftcrn country for more than
fourteen years. It was the parent
organization of the stampede, round
tip nnil rodeo of the reft of the coun
try. Most of the cowboy and cow
girls with the Irwin Bros, are the
winners of 'champion-hip honors in
lheir vrioti elapses.
The band of Sioux warriors from
the Pine Itidge agency, headed by
Chief Bed Cloud, depict the pictur
fsiue life of the vanishing rcdman
with the rugged warfare between the
settlers of the western country and
the aborigines in all its reckless dan
ger. Xot a phase of the old wet is
lacking from the Irwin Bros, exhibi
tion to make it a veritable passing
panorama of the scenes of those
strenuous days when.' nature thrived
with the bark off.
Till: AMIS' OK TIIK KINGS.
(My Guy F. Iee In tho Chicago Tri

We portion the woe and the weal,
To us Is Authority given,
Our Might is exempt from appeal;
Our reign o'er the land the water
Muht be, be it pcaco or the sword"
So utter tho kings as they slaughter
And waste In the name of the Lord.
For thousands of years superstition,

NIID OF
HP HE present drouth, stud
.1888. is furnishinc nn
irrigation. Thqse orchards that are irrigated generally
have good yields, lany.of those that are liot watered will
have undersized fruit.
It. has heen the curse of the valley that, water was not
needed the average year. If it. had heen a necessity, long
since the entire valley would have heen under water. Con
seouently tho annual output is ahout a tenth of what it.
should l)e, and m dry years only a miction.
The future of the valley lies in intensive cultivation.
For this, water is essential. Commercial orchards must
have water to mrftitnin the average production. It is tho
host crop insurance and fruit raising will never ho the
revenue-producing industry it is capable of hcconiing until
the outre fruit belt can he irrigated.
The orohardist has learned by experience not to trust
entirely to one crop. Side issues, such as truck gardening,
harries and small fruits, dairying and hog raising must he
depended upon as well as tho orchard to insure an income.
Yet these also are dependent largely upon water for suc
cess. Several efforts have heen made in tho past to con
struct an irrigation system. Several times capital has
offered to develop water, provided the required acreage of
laud to he watered was signed up. Each effort met failure
through the inability of property owners to realize that
tho water on the .land made the land twice as valuable
irom a producers sranupoint ns tnc land without water
was.
If the present drouth convinces the .skeptical of the
need of waiter and hastens
tion system, it will not have heen in yam and will have
accomplished mpre for the valley than half n dozen wet
.summers.

Figures Which Prove
Everything and Nothing
(From the Sacramento nee)
No saying is truer than that you
can prove almost anything by fig
ures. Our prohibition friends are fond of
quoting statistics to prove that In
sanity decreases in prohlbtlon states
and Increase in wet commonwealths,
And liquor advocates will bring
forth statements from reports prov
ing exactly tho opposite.
In a recent Everybody's was an
article on "What We Know About
Rum." Therein was this:
In a recent bulletin Issued by tho
census department a comparative
table ot Insanity Is given by states.
There were eight prohibition states
at the close of the census peried:
Maine, Georgia, North Carolina, Ten
nessee, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Kan
sas, and North Dakota. Comparing
the gain or loss in admissions to in
sane hospitals in these states with
their Immediate neighbors, wo find
the following significant recerds:
Maine Increased 21 for every' 100,-
000 Inhabitants, while New Hamp
shire decreased 7; North Dakota de
creased 'J, while South Dakota In
creased 3; Georgia Increased 1, while
Florida decreased 8; North Carolina
Increased 11, while South Carolina
Increased only 4; Tennessee increased
14, while. Kentucky increased 12;
Mississippi Increased 9, while Ala

there N no ipietion but that a way
Win lie loumi ny winei this commerce
can be handled. Whilo the nation of
the old world are warring with one
another they will all, without doubt,
co-operntc with the t'nited State in
solving the transportation problem.
The t'nited States government .-hould
invet $100,000,000 or more to iunll

Kansas decreased 10, while Nebraska

As proving anything concerning the
point at issue tho connection be

those figures are every bit as un

are fond of quoting to show the other

Take the statement above, for In

ot liquor or Its disuse had no connec

Detter argue the question solely
