'TMIK question as to whether there will he sufficient sup-
)ly to provide the proposed Aledtord district with
water for irrigation is thus answered hv John T. Whistler.
engineer of the United States reclamation service, in his
report upon the Koguc IJiver valley irrigation problems,
published in l-cbruary, 1910:
"It is estimated that Bear creek and Little Butte
creeks, supplemented bv storage in Fish lake and Four-
Mile lake, will furnish a supply sufficient for 35,000 acres
in the Medford division, at an approximate construction
cost of $-10 per acre, including distribution system; that an
additional supply probably sufficient for 15,000 acres can
be obtained from Big Butte creek at a cost of 29 per acre,
delivered to Hopkins lateral.
"Fish lake is the source of the North Fork of Little
Butte creek and lies near the summit of the Cascade rang,',
just south of Alt. McLoughlin. By constructing a fifty
foot dam, a storage capacity of 20,000 acre feet can be
obtained. The water supply available for storage here is
uncertain, but will probably equal the storage capacity.
"Four-Mile lake lies twelve miles northeast of Fish
lake' and at an elevation 1000 feet higher. Fifteen thous
and five hundred acre feet storage capacity can hr; ob
tained by constructing a twenty-foot dam. The record of
run-off from this lake is very short, but it is probable that
Hie yearly supply of 10,000 acre feet is all that can be
depended upon.
"There is sufficient flood water in Bear creek to sup
ply practically all the requirements for both divisions in
April and May, and enough in any event to insure against
crop failure."
This supply can, if necessaiy, be augmented in the
future diverting of the south fork of Big Butte with a sup
ply sufficient for 15,000 acres, at a cost of $437,000. It is
also feasible to divert the south fork of Kogue river, with
a minimum average flow of 1 10 second feet, into the north
fork of Big Butte at a cost of approximately $94,000.
It will be seen from the above that there is no question
but the logical and practical source of water supply for the
Mcdford district is from the Kogue Kiver Canal system,
which agrees to place the water on the land for $40 an
acre, taking as payment the bonds of the district, should
the district enter into such a contract.
For the first five years, under the district plan, only the
maintenance charge is paid. On the sixth year the land
owners begin paying interest at the rate of 0 per cent per
annum on the principal. On the eleventh year 5 per cent
of the principal is paid. On the twelfth year, G per cent;
on the thirteenth year, 7 per cent, etc., until the principal
has been fully paid at the end of the twentieth year. After
that there is only maintenance.
It would be hard to figure out an easier or more equit
able plan for land owners to secure irrigation. It enables
them to pay for the water out of their increased production
during n long term of years. It will, moreover, create a
market for their property, and those who desire to sell will
have no difficulty with irrigation provided.
WOMEN IN POLITICS
THE LOVING MR. WAX
DABBLED IN MATRIMONY
NKW VOKK, Dee. S. Five more
persons, Including nuo young woman,
whom ho married, recognized In
Charles II, Wax today tho man they
had known as "Oliver Osborne," or
under somo of his oilier assumed
names. Wax, who Is held under
$r0,000 ball as n material witness In
n federal crtHO, was brought here from
Chicago to clear the iianio ot James
W. Osborne, a prominent attorney
who had been accused by Miss Hue
Tanger of breach of promise after
courling her ns "Oliver Osborne."
Wax has udmltled that It was he
who was Miss Tiinzer's admirer.
Wax was Identified by Miss F.thcl
Crooks as the innn sbc married In

admitted the accusation, but asserted
Ih il "MI:m Piooln i (be only woman

WOMEN of Oregon participated for the first time at a
presidential election this year, and many sincere
advocates of suffrage upon the broad grounds of democ
racy and justice confess to a disappointment.
Cardinal Gibbons, who has never advocated suffrage,
recently declared:
Tho Insistence on a right of participation In actlvo political life is un
doubtedly calculated to rob woman of her grace of character and givo
her nothing In return but mnsculino boldness and effrontery. Any occu
pation, howevor alluring In its specious pretense, which draws woman's at
tention from her most ovaltcd duties of motherhood will result in detri
ment to tho nation and tho race.
As far as I have observed It appears that woman's suffrage to tho
extent that it has been granted In this country lias not changed the result
of the election. Thero has been n larger vote, but tho results liavo been
I lie snino as I hey would havo been If women had not voted. Thus it seems
that our politlral lifo has not been benefitted or purified by the entrance
of woman Into I lie political arena, though tho domestice lifo of those en-
aged In tills political work must have been neglected or ut least impaired.
Those who expected that women would exert a purify
ing influence in politics received a severe 'jolt when, under
the direction of unscrupulous politicians, they devoted
their energies to scaiidal-niongeriiig. Home few 'seemed to
grasp with avidity the erstwhile wardheelers' '"discarded
(fecupation, and made house-to-house visitations, whisper
ing slander and calumny so foul and libelous that no paper
dared to print it.
Probably most, Oregon women are tired already of the
ballot and ashamed of the part played by sonic of their
sex. The majority has little interest in politics, except
when some moral question is involved. But women hav
ing secured the right to vote must, in addition to their
other duties, now discharge the responsibilities of citizen
ship they so long clamored to assume.
Women have added another burden and must hence
forth play their part, in the evolution of democracy to
establish social justice and make life better worth while
the living.
The Drift of Science
Ilv T. K. Sl'AXTUX.
To the Editor ol' the Mail Tribune:
Will you kindly grant nie a he'irin':
in relation to ttie subject so ably dis
cussed by Dr. ,1. Lawrence Hill un
tler the above caption, in your is-uics
of November 211 mid 'J 1.
I was much interested in the same
and realize thai the doctor niaile the
iihwI of his ease. Then can be no
fault found cilher with his rensniiiir.;
or his conclusions only with the
premise the hypothesis on which be
built, and Unit was sand: The world
old error of eniiiiniugling, in theory
bulb mini! and matter. It cannot Ik
done, ii'ii lly. Paul, (lie apostle,
tells u-- ibal they are forever at war
"the one wiih (he other"; and Jesus
-nid: "Ihc l'le-h (mutter) pmfitcth
milling: il is llie -pint lluit tpiiok-
enelh," that is, lnaketh alive, vital
izes. In Genesis, first chapter, -lit'i.
'J7th anil .'fist verses, we read: "Ami
(lod said, 'Let us make man in our
image, niter our likeness.' So (lod
created inun in His own image, in Ihc
image of (lod created He him." "And
Hod saw everythiiiif that he had made
and behold it was very food."
Il certainly ought to stagger even
credulity to believe that matter is the
image and likeness of spirit, or that
(lod could ever pronounce unstable,
impermanent and discordant mailer
"good."
How is it possible to square lliesr
statements from (iinesis witli those
of the tin t ii till scientists ipioted by
Dr. Hill? They hold that "science
now imperatively demands a eon-
rannie, a Jloultrie, (la.r dofj, is the only dog in the country wearing
spectacles. Fumiie's owner noticed she fell into ditches anil walked into
fences imd trees. Her head was bruised many times. An optician found
tile dog suffering nstigmnti-m and fitted her with "specs."
scions power within protoplasm
(matter), the only living .substuliee
and science knows that this power is
mental, is Ood, and whose ways arc
past finding out," and that "matter
is un influence of the divine nature."
Their conclusions and their philos
ophy are indorsed by Dr. Hill, as wit
ness: "Who can question the philos
ophy of these profound and vigorous
thinkers? What room is there any
longer for doubt, let alone denial ?
They regard deity as imminent in the
universe and oiernting through nat
ural, laws." That is to say, material
laws.
Again he snys; "The creative en
ergy is imminent in nature" (proto
plasm) "and this gives the mind
something to take hold of." So (lod,
spirit, created its antithesis, proto
plasm, in His own image, in the im
age of mind created He matter. Think
of it, and like creates like! Hut it is
unthinkable. How about gathering
figs from thistles? lint thus do the
blind lead the blind through all the
weary labyrinth nf.Jiil'ting and shifty
human philosophy, "such stuffs as
dreams arc made of." The senses
which can cognize only mailer know
nothing of spirit, and indeed cannot;
they dwell in the deep shadows of un
reality. It is true' Unit the laws of
nature .are the lawLluf Hod, but His
lawh are not nmlrlnl, nor do the y
operato iir or through protoplasm.
Turn-where you rfill, no trace of a
spiritual universe can lie rencnized
in all space by mean's of these senses.
Mind, being infinite, cognizes itself
alone; being spirit, jls creation must
be spiritual. (!od is the father of
ideas. Jlntter is the antithesis of
spirit. The one is contrary to the
oilier. One or the oilier must be real
and eternal; both cannot be, for two
entities cannot occupy the same
space nt the same time; one must
have been first, "without beginning."
Matter certainly does not measure up
to Ibis Teiiircmcul, for even the most
"stand-pat" scientists admit that
mailer has both beginning nml end,
and its end, as a belief of humanity,
has oome. Tyndal terms it "a mode
of motion' and Huxley describes it
as having "no reality, save as it ex
ists in our own consciousness." We
give it all the reality it possesses. It
is real, .just ns Ihc theory that Ihc
world was flat was real to past ages,
or that the sun revolved nboul it.
Therefore, it is but a state and slage
of consciousness, just as real as
