MEDFOTCD MAW, TRTBTTNTE, MEDFOTID. OTfEfiON, F5ATU1TDAT.. SEPTEMBER ' 21, 1013
A ranviin of tin; MioTorl irriga
tion district made during the past
wetk shows an overwhelming senti
ment in luvor oi' Hit? Hig Butte, eruek
project.
Jt is proposed by this project to
briny the waters of liiy lintte into the
district at the 107.") foot level, thus
taking under the main canal most of
the Kood land to the east of Medfoni.
"West of liear creek the line will follow
the level of the 1'hoeiiix lateral.
During the past week the consult
ing engineer of one of the bij.';r,,st con
struction companies of (he northwest
made a complete study of the whole
project , walked over the. line of the
canal sand studied all the data and
will Ktuke his professional reputa
tion up the fact that Ilia whole pro
ject can be built at under $75 per
acre. A morn detailed statement will
appear later.
The engineer for the t. S. S. S. has
just completed stream flow measure
ments of Hi; Hutte creek and liugue
river and finds an ample supply of
water for the district. Figures bear
ing out this statement will be made
public later.
t Arguments I'setl
Those opMsed 1o the bonds have
riot been able to find any swceilin crit
icism of the proposed project und are
therefore trying to defent the bond
by crying 'This is not time to build."
All authorities nre agreed that prices
after the war will not decrease.
There'iK a hiufe job of reconstruction
in Europe, to be done. Railroad and
' road work all over the world will ub
sorb labor and capital. Stocks of
ilothiritf, books, foods und in fact nil
articles, which are now depleted, will
have to be manafuctured,
Representatives of two In ran con
struction eotm-unies have told the di
rectors of the M. I. I), that in order
ti hold their organizations toelhc
thev would do this work cheaper now
than al'Ur the war.
To pass the bonds is simply another
Mt.p towards getting an adeijiuitc irri
gation system for our laiuls. The
Canital Issues committee will ilecide
whether now is the time to build or
rot. )o not try to make this import
ant decision" for the government. Let
Ul.cle Ham decide if the exlra food
we can raise is needed to win the
war.
Xo Payment for Yrar
The fact that there is no pavmciil
for the water and that the bond in-1
terest for one year is provided for
makes it possible for anyone to el
bountiful harvest with water he fori
an' cash nnvmcnt is reonired. Hy
paying $5.18 a year per acre the in
terest and principal are "aid. There
ia no other nnyment reouired except
the maintenance fee of $1.
During the past ten davs Petitions!
bnve been presented to the board by;
laud owners with land on all sides ol'J
the district who wish to ml their
lands irrigated hy this project.
The promise of the board of direc
tors III nt if the final plans and speci
fications sluuv that the whole pro
ject can not be built and completed
for $75 ner acre, not a dollar would
be spent on construction until the
laud owners were iven another
chance to vote on the matter must
remove any lip'rintf doubt about the,
ultimate cost of irrigation.
Laud owners within the di-trict are
ured to call at the office in the M.
V. and 11. building or to telephone
.17-K if the plans of the project are
not clear to them or if they vih any
information.

began, struck back at the Invaders.
American forceshad taken part in
the final plianes of the battle along
the Mar no and had been instrumental
In stopping the Germans at Chateau
Thierry. In thlB battle came the first
notable contribution of America to
the military fortunes of the allies.
Since March, however, there had been
a floodtldo of khaki-clad men cross
ing the Atlantic, and during May,
June and the first part of .Inly they
rapidly moved up to the battle zone.
The sanguinary ohecB of the Ger
man offensive east of Montdldter
gavo the allies hope that the German
tide would be safely stemmed, and
this feeling was heightened during
the succeeding three weeks by a ser
ies of local actions along the front
from Solssons to Chateau Thierry by
which the Germans were driven back
steadily from points of tactical value.
What was not known by the lay world
was that In these very actions, Mar
shal Koch virtually forced the Ger
mans to attack somewhere on the
Marne. where preparations were
made for a new phase of the struggle.
Hun Tide Stemmed
On July K, the Germans made a
new drive called,by them "the offen
sive of peace" from Chateau Thierry
eastward far Into the Champagne
sector. No sooner had the news of
the attack reached the world than
the tidings came that the French,
Italian and American lines, subjected
to assault, were standing firmly in
every vital part of the front and that
it was only hy the greatest effort that
tho Germans pounded their way
ahead In the region southwest of
Uheims and astride the .Marne west
of lOphey. The allies had solved the
German system of offenso and were
able to hold their ground,
First Allied OfTeiMve
On July IS, Marshal Koch launch
ed an attack which has changed the
whole complexion of the situation.
From Fontenoy on the Ah-ne west of
Solssons, to Chateau Thierry on the
Marno, the German lines were torn to
pieces and the Marne salient threat
ened to collapse. It was only by the
most savage fighting that tho Ger
mans succeeded In saving their army
from disaster nnd retreated across
tho Veslo river.
On August S tho Trench and llrlt-
IkIi stormed the German lines In
IMcardy from tho Ancre river to Mor-
euil, north of Montdldler and sent
tho onemy reeling back toward the
Somtne. Tho next day tho French
crushed in the German front south of
Montdidier and then Unking their
lines with those of the British farth
er north, forced the Invaders back.
Less than two weeks later tho Ger
man lines southwest of Arraa were
attacked and the.se gave way and the
forces holding them joined their com
rades farther south in a retreat which
has now virtually reached the Ger
man lines as they were on March 21,
from Arras to the Chemin Pes Dames.
Subsequent 0rentt ions
The Germans then hesan a with
drawal from the Flanders salient and
today they are nearly back to the
lines from which they sallied late in
April.
Thus Tar the allied drive might
have been considered in the light of
defensive opci at Ions but the work
has not p.nifcd with the mere repulse
of tho enemy. Ills positions along
the Hindenburg line east of Arras
have been wrested from him, while
farther south, near St. Quentln, Ihe
lirltish have in recent days, fought
their way into tho enemy's lines
where he had planned to stand on
the defensive.
The first American field army has
obliterated the St. Mihiel salient and
straightened the line east of Verdun
and now stands before Motz Into
which the American shells are falling.
Hefore the ajlies there now stunds
tho great lines constructed by the
Germans during four years of war
fare. These are vast field fortifica
tions which stretch from the 'North
Seu, with few interruptions to the
Swiss frontier.
It miking the Harriers
They are constructed with all the
science at the command of the Ger
man general staff, and present a for
midable harrier to further allied at
tacks Six months of warfare of mo
tion, however, has taught the allies
that a trench Is no stronger than the
troops that man it. In this fact lies
tho hope of the entente nations. New
mothods of attack, the employment
of tanks and a higher morale than
over before In the history of the war
will be relied uron to force new re
treats. Germany has lost her chance to
forco peace upon the allies before
American armies enter the fight with
ill their strength. This was her hope
In March. Losses of a serious nature
were suffered by the allies during
the long battle, but they have been
more than doubly offset by the In
flowing American legions. Germany's
losses, on the other hand, cannot be
made good. Hope blasted, crack dl-
DRIVE TO SECURE
BELGIANS OCT. 1
II. P. Davidson, national chairman
of the Red Cross war council has re
quested of the local chapter another
drive for clothing for the Belgians
and to that request we are going to
respond, with the usual Medford en
thusiasm. Mr. Davidson says "The
need Is greater than ever, for these
stricken people."
Stocks of clothing and raw mater
ial are not to be had and these ten
million human beings must be cloth
ed. Jlarken to the following letter
from a well-to-do lody of Brussels:
"Perhaps you will laugh when you
hear that I wear a cloak made from
my husband's overcoat, a waist made
from his football shirt, and a skirt
made from a dyed bedsheet. Mother
has a suit made from a tablecloth,
and S. has a dress made from bur
lap." This doesn't sound very warm
to us who are well clothed and
shod, coming as it does from people
who live in a cold damp climate with
winter coming on.
Every kind of clothing is needed
for men, women and children of both
sexes and scrap leather Is needed to
repair footwear.
Only such clothing as will stand
hard wear is being solicited. Party-
it at nan unbroken iront till victory
s achieved.
gowns and slippers and peek-a-boo
visions broken up and seeming vie-waists are not -wanted and this
tories turned Into defeats have sap
ped the morale of the German armies
which today -are on the defensive
everywhere.
The open season for grouse in Cali
fornia began last Sunday, September
and continues for 30 days, or
until October 15. The bag limit is
four a day and not to exceed eight In
one week. The jack-snipe season
opens with the close of the grouse
season.
drive for clothing will start Oct. 1st.
Now, what wtll you give? Start a
hunt right now so you will be ready
for the ladies who will call at your
homes for your contributions for the
Belgians.
The official closing of the Crater
Lake season will be on Sept. 30, so
those people who contemplate visit
ing the great nature wonder had bet
tor go before that time, as that day
the hotels at the lake will be ctosed.
The Jackson county h ranch of the
Women's Land Army of America has
received the following t'nun the Wo
men's Land Army of Britain:
J he Land Army ot Britain con

Your vigorous young organization,

have not looked in vain for vour loyal

The American Land Ann- is facing
its responsibilities in a manner wor

of a great "resident, and we in Brit

Our own experience, extending now-i

In the land trenches, behind '-our
