Itoliert Sanforil Towuc, owner of
the Blue LedKO died In New York last
Thursday, August 3, ucfonlltiK to the
New York Times of August 4. .No
one In Medford, an fur as Is known,
has received any direct Intimation of
his death by wire.
S. S. Bulllx, commentliiK on the
probiilile effect on the Illuc LcdKC
dovelopnient of .Mr. Towne's death,
Btulcd:
"Mr. Towne had assembled about
himself a staff of able progressive
lieutenants. S. D. llrown, vlce-prcsl
dont and general manager of the
Towno Interests, has general charge
and there Is the possibility and hope
that ho will push development work
It Is hard to tell exactly what the
men now In charge will do, they have
always been so absolutely dominated
by Mr. Towne, himself. I have re
ceived no Intimation other than this
of his denth. However, as I had
written to Mr, Hrown two wooks ago,
I will undoubtedly hear within
another two weeks of the plans of the
company."
The Blue Ledge property, accord
ing to Mr. Dullls, Is now held by
the Companla Metalurglca Mexlcanl,
under which all the Towno coppor
holdings are organized. It Is of this
company that Mr. Brown is vice
president. Mr. Towno has not been hlmseir
for a year, continued Mr. Bullls. At
the tlmo of Mr. Bullls' Inst Interview
two months ago In New York he was
received by Towne In his bedroom.
Towno, although plainly very ill,
would not acknowledge that fact oven
to himself, but by tho force of his
will and tho use of stimulants kept
himself going. Mr. Bullls hus no
Intimation in regard to tho stnte of
Towne's affairs, hut It Is his hope
and belief that the placing of Brown
mid his young associates in chargo
will cxpcdlato matters In tho Bluo
hedge.
Mr. Towno died at tho engineers
cliih where he made his home and the
Times account devotes considerable
Bpai'o to his extensive mining Inter
ests In Mexico and this country. Mr.
Towno was president of the Mexican
Norlliern railway, president of the
Alvarez. Land and Timber company,
president of the Sresnillo Mining
company, the Mexican Lead company,
th0 Potosl and Itlo Vordo railway, the
iMonlezumii I,oad company, the Sou
bretto Mining company, the Com
panla Motalurglca Mexlcanl, and In
terested oxtoualvely in a dozon other
largo mining concerns. A graduate
of Ohio State university In the class
of 1X711, Mr. Towno was one of (he
most successful mining engineers In
the country and amassed n tremen
tioiiB fortune. Ho was a member of
th0 'Now York Yacht club, the Engi
neers and l.awyors club and took a
prominent part In the American Iu
Htltuto of Mining Kuglnecrs.

Final action of the bond ordinance
whh delayed by the council last night
until Thursday night when another
adjourned session will bo held. A
few changes were mado In tho ordi
nance as read last night. Among them
blanks wore filled In, providing for
interest at 0 per cent, setting the de
nomination of bonds at J I Odil each
and fixing Interest dates as April und
October 1st of each year. Tho word
"general" In describing the bonds,
was also substituted for "railroad"
upon the explanation that such word
ing would facllltato the selling of the
bonds.
Another reason for delay, raised by
Councilman llnrgraves, was found In
tho omission of any clause providing
for a sinking fund to take care of
principle and Interest of the bonds. A
clause to bo Inserted was read by
Councilman Davis and will be placed
in tho ordinance as read at its final
passago next Thursday.
A clause was also discussed pro
viding that In case tho city should
sell tho road' hoforo the expiration of
the 30 yoars during which the bonds
will run, all moneys received shall
go Into a sinking fund for retiring
tho bonds as thoy conic duo.
Tho city attorney and council agree
that the ordinance, as It Is passed,
will, in all probability, be subject to
chnngo at the hands of the bond buy
ing houso, which purchases the
bonds. This is almost universal ex
perience In such bond Issues. How
ovor, soino ordinance Is necessary,
before tho bond may be advertised
for sale and tho matter taken under
consideration by bond buyers. The
ordinance now provides for tho is
suance of bonds In the sum of $ :t (i 0 ,
0011, but provides for the sale of
only $.10,000 of that mount. This
plan Is ngreealilo to Mr. Bullls, as
Is will enable III in to extend the line
to tap that belt of timber lying five
miles beyond the present terminus
of the road.
UP 10 CONFEREES
WASHINGTON, Aug. II -An agree
ment between the houso and senate
on one amendment was all that stood
In Iho way today of the enactment of
tho child labor bill. Tho measure
passed Iho senate lute yesterday by a
vote of .",:! to 12. It now goes to
the house, where II already has been
passed.
The senate was spurred to final ac
tion on the bill by President Wilson's
Insistence upon Its passage. Opposi
tion to Iho measure eauie chieflv
from southern democrats, who con
tended that It was unconstitutional
and would Interfere with stale's
rights.
The house Is expected lo concur in
the only amendment adopted by Hie
senate. It would bar all product of
establishments employing children
from Inler-state commerce. The
house bill was dlrecled only against
Ihos i which child labor actually
had been employed.

A normal crop, or about three
times that of last year, is generally
predicted as the llartlelt outlook for
tho Rogue River valley this year.
Nino cars have already been shipped,
four to go out tonight, two packing
plants started operations today and
by Thursday packing will be In full
swing.'
Opinions as to marketing differ
widely a'mong Medford fruit buyers.
The .Rogue River Co-operative Fruit
.Growers' Association will market
practically all the fruit they handle
F. O. B., Medford. The Rogue River
Fruit and Produco Association and
(luy Conner will split their fruit be
tween F. O. II. sales and the Kast
ern auction markets, while the Pro
ducers Fruit Union will dispose of
practically all their fruit at auction
and by delivered sales.
The Rogue Rlvor Fruit and Pro
duce Association reports cars already
shipped, li.OUO boxes brought to the
packing house Monday night, and
C.800 Tuesday night. They will ship
In tho neighborhood of 00 cars this
week and the first of next week. The
fruit thoy are handling, they report,
is of excellent quality. Late pears,
they think, will be of good quality
and will command high prices. Thoy
have sold at prices ranging from
li on to 'l V. O. II. Medford.
Guy Conner shipped his first car
Tuesday and will ship during the
next two weeks, In tho neighborhood
of 25 cars, oporntlng throe packing
houses by next week. The fruit, ho
reports. Is varlablo, varying in qual
ity In different orchards. Ho received
1,000 boxes last night. Picking for
tho Producer's Fruit Union Is pro
ceeding slowly, It being the opinion
of tho manager that the pears have
not n sufficient sugar content ns yet
to warrant picking. Tuesday, the
packing plant at Voorhels was start
ed and tho Medford plant today. Alto
gether, they expect to ship 100 cars
from the Rogue River valley. The
fruit, they say. Is of good quality
and will bring fair prices.
Packing started today with 150
boxes brought In lust night at the
Koguo Rlvor Co-operative Fruit
Growers' Association, nnd their first
car will roll Thursday. Fruit, they
say, is good and will command the
highest prices of several years.
