' the district, which means so much
for Medford's future prosperity and
4, development.

' Now Board Organiaies.
At 4 o'clock this afternoon the
newly ( elected irrigation district di
rectors met to file their bonds, or
ganize their board and discuss gen
eral plans of quick and safe proced
ure.
Added zest is given to tho move
ment by the fact that a sugar beet
factory is guaranteed for the Bed
ford district if irrigation is obtained
and 2000 acres of irrigated land are
signed up, as was told in detail in
Saturday's Hail Tribune.
Tho result of Saturday's vole was
195 for the district irrigation plan

was a tie, the pro-irrigntionisls won
by a vote of 07 to 35.

0 The women's registration Satur
day was very incomplete, for the
rural sections had not boon provided
with cards at all. Tuesday commit
tees will try to reach ns many of tho
rural homes ns possible. Blank
cards may be obtained by all who
wish them at cither the Mcdf ord Book
Store or tho public library.
Cards which have been filled in
may be left at either place. Allho
about 350 cards wore- handed in Sat
urday at tho different schoolhouses
and the book store, it is to bo regret
ted that so many women show an
utter indifference to this patriotic
call.
Tho women arc requested to at
least fill ont tho top of tho card and
indicate that in time of need they will
be ready to do whatevor they can for
their country.
