Tuesday three of the "little-hinders" who own small places on the Pa cific highway north of Mcdford gave their views on the use of water and of the results made possible in berry and garden culture by irrigation. All three of these men are primarily in terested in strawberry raising. Faintly Mvcm Off Aero. The first of these men has the least land of any one acre, part of wiiich is taken up by his bouse, barn nnd other outbuildings. This man, J. K. Stevenson, has been able to sup port three people in comfort, pay for his land and water right and bank a little money each year from the re turns from this acre of laud, although' he bus found it necessary to hire part of the work, such as hoeing, done. In addition to raising berries, garden truck and chickens enough to feed the family of three, the hind in mill produced irfillO worth of mar ketable products. Adjoining the holding of Sir. Stev cuson is the two-acre berry ranch of C. II. Howell, who from two-thirds of an acre sold in li)l," 10,11111) cups of strawberries of fancy ipialily, in ad dition to a large :iiiiitily of canning berries. The ltllti yield was almost ns heavy, in spile of heavy frosts. The price was high, so that the monetary yield in ltllti was practic ally the same as in llll.'i. Mr. Howell has received consider able publicity in the columns of var ious mnga.iucs because of the re niarkuble showing he bas:made on his little ranch. Strawberry Itutsing. A iinrlcr of a mile up the bighwav from the Howell place is the t'nur acre tract of YV. 1''. Smith, another ardent strawberry cullurist. Mr. Smith has been a resilient of the val ley for the past twenty-nine years, and for some time was located at Kagle l'oint, where he was well known as a raiser of onions. Since that time lie has decided to center his efforts on strawberry raising. During the past season, on a strawberry patch of tliree-iiuarters of an ncre, Mr. Smith raised -ion crates of strawberries, which he sold at $t.2" per crate. As fust ns pos sible Mr. Smith is bringing bis land under strawberries ami hopes within n year to have the entire four acres covered with the plants. These three places use irrigation all dining the summer season, ap plying the water at l'i'citicnt inter vals. Tin' hind is of hanlpnn lonim- , tion, with sand ami gravel similar to the bind on the desert. 'I'he relation of water to the recall ASHLAND, Dee. 'JO. The citv election on Tuesday resulted in choosing (.'. M. I.aiukin for mayor; U. . Kiibiinks, treasurer; J. li. Wi lder, recorder; (J. O. Jarvis, springs commissioner; (i. S. Jtutlcr, l' Watson, V.

Of three charter amendments, the proposition to abolish the springs commission was carried; the. second, to dispense with the park commission, was de feated; the third, providing for sale of excess mineral waters for tweuty-five-ycar period, earned. There were six candidates for recorder, Winter winning by a IMS vote, as against 2H for I!. P. Campbell, his nearest com petitor. Prnctieallv all the candi dates were pledged to inaugurate re form and retrenchment measures. Kor mayor, C It. Lnnikin 7ti(i, F. D. Wagner tilt).

Stevenson: ''A man is, plain ly speaking, a fool to do without wa ter on his hind. If he hasn't the money to provide water, can't borrow it, then he'll he better off to sell half his laud and use the money to buy water for tbo irrigation of the re mainder." C. II. Howell "My experience with water and my observation of land without water bus taught me this: You couldn't donate nic a ranch in this valley, provided I bad to farm it without, irrigation." W. F. Sniilh "The small farmer caricit hope to succeed ill this val ley without irrigation. It is abso lutely essential to the successful cul ture of heivics, vegetables and beets." The playing of Irvine Teicll, a 1:1-yenr-old local boy, and the first ap pearance of the Medfold boys' band were two very interesting features of the splendid concert given by the Mcdford band at the Niitatorinm on Tuesday evening. The results of Ibiiidmastcr Rowland's conscientious efforts were plainly visible in the playing of both bauds. The young baritone soloist, Irvine Terell, who has been studying under Mr. Howland for the past three months, lias u promising future, the lad being only 13 years old, and with proper handling will make his mime in the near future. The Mcdford boys' band demon strated the capabilities of fifteen youngsters of the age of 11 to 14. under the training of it competent teacher. The playing of the young bund took the audience by storm, the boys being compelled to repeat their selection. The Mcdford band, now up to a strength of nearly forty, was a keen contrast to the bund of about twelve, Mr. ltowland took charge of on his arrival in Mcdford eight months ago. During tile last lew months the band has taken advantage of the winter scuson to fill no its ranks, and Tues day's concert showed the results of many long, faithful rehearsals. Mcd ford has never bail a band that could compare willt the present organiza tion, and it is doubtful if there is n bnnd outside of Portland or San Francisco that could provide the fin ished program presented at this con cert. Traveling professional bunds that have stopped here have played "II Trovaforo," very little better than it was played by the Mcdford hand. The band's performance in "Tan ered," a standard overture by Ilos sini, was wonderful, the soft and loud passages were .well-observed. The musicians were as one under the mai'ie control of their capable- con ductor. The descriptive patrol, "Dub lin liny," and the light encores were very popular, and repetitions were demanded. Miss (ieraldine Thciss' solo from "Martha" was listened to with the greatest attention, the ar tiste being the recipient of a flatter ing encore. Mr. (leorge Andrews' version of "Toreador," ft out "Car men," was one of the ponihir solo ist's best offerings.
