. Tho origin of the fire Is unknown,
but fit believed to havo been caused

It Is the opinion of City Electrician

the first named defect, as there was
no Indication of a flrcplaco flaw.
Tho family was asleep on tho sleep
ing porch on the BCcond floor when
tho blaio was discovered. Their exit
by tho stairs was Impossible owing to
smoke and flames. Firemen brought
ladders, as a means of escnpo. Ef
fects of the flro do not show from tho
street, but tho damage was so heavy
lis to compel a complete rebuilding of
tho Interior for occupancy. Tho piano
and other furnituro wero scorched,
and oilier household effects ruined.

PROSPERITY OR
THE land owners of the Meriford district have it in their
power to i-reatt: prosperity or to continue tlie era of
depression.
This region lias not hecn prosperous liecause it. has not
produced enough. Jt has not produced enough because it
is not under irrigation.
Even in a wet season, the rain does not come at the
right season of the year. Irrigation will increase the out
put, no matter what the season. '
' .Med ford will ship this season 1000 cars of apples and
pears, bringing in approximately 1,000,000. ...With no
greater planted acreage, the irrigated orchard districts of
Washington are shipping 5000 cars, realizing, approxi
mately $5,000,000.
Xor is the increased yield the sole benefit from water.
Average size, quality, color are all superior hence the
price higher for fruit in irrigated sections.
Quantity production can only lie secured by use of
water no matter what the crop. The farmer raising al
falfa, the beet sugar grower, the berry eulturist, the mar
ket gardener, all find water essential to quantity, quality
and profit as well as crop insurance.
.Most of the fruit shipped this year was from irrigated
orchards. The watered alfalfa land yielded more than
double that unirrigated land grew. The only sugar beets
successfully harvested were from irrigated tracts. Every
crop in this semi -arid 'region needs the magic touch of
water.
Land is unsaleable in the valley because farming with
out water here is a gaiublcno wise man will undertake.
Much of the laud never will have a staple value without
irrigation because it is worth less than the water.
Experience of the past few years ought to have con
vinced the most : keptical, the most nnprogressive. Re
sults of the past season, where the results of water wore
realized on a portion of the land, ought to demonstrate its
necessity to all.
There are uone so blind as those who will not see and
many of our large as well its small land owners shut their:
eyes to facts and seek to blunder along the old rut to fail
ure. Experience litis demonstrated that the fairest, most
equitable, irrigation scheme is that provided by the district
plan. Such a plan has been offered to land owners of this
section. It provides for securing water at a cost of $10
per acre upon the easiest terms possible, leaving the dis
tribution under control of the owners themselves.
The plan has been approved and indorsed by the United
States reclamation service engineers as the most feasible,
most practical of any of the schemes suggested. It is up
to the land-owners themselves to decide, whether they
want to advance or continue to retrograde. '
Even the most pessimistic reactionary sorrowfully ad
mits that it is only a question of time until the valley will
be under water. Why not make it now, instead of waiting
until half of the people have been forced to leave through
inability to make a living? , ..
"We cannot expect industries, we cannot expect new
population, Ave cannot expect progress until we have irri
gation, increase our prodftction and turn the balance of
trade.
Every one having the best interests of the valley at
heart should work earnestly and energetically for the sue-'
cess of the district plan at the coming election, December
27. Defeat means at least another rear of -stagnation, loss
of morale, as well as bankruptcy and despair for many.
If you vote' against irrigation, don't blame the presi
dent for hard times. It's you who are wearing the rut of
reaction so deep it is becoming a grave.

The rapidity of the advance of the
central powers seems to show that no
attempt was made to defend the cap
ital and the actions fought have prob
ably been only of a delaying nature.
The fall of Plocchti, perhaps, is of
even jirealer importance than that of

tion and the center of the great oil
district of the Praliova valley. Un
less the Kumaniaus have been able to

It Is believed that the Rumanians
will be compelled to retire until they

which will he within easier reach of
