PHOPKIiTY owners of the Medford I iiiatioii Distri.-t Will vote Saturday njion tho proposal lo hond the district for .fl.'jOO.OOO for tlu- const ruction of an irrigation system with JJiy; Unite creek as a source of supply. The objections hitherto raised against an irrigation source do not.apply to tin present proposal, which lias the great advantage of diverting the flow of a living stream instead of depending upon water stored by dams in reser voirs. At any time it becomes necessary to increase the supplv, reservoirs can be constructed to store the winter flow." It ought not to he necessary to argue at this-late day, after the experience of the valley during the past five years, the question whether irrigation pays or not. Since the days when the ancient Babylonians first made Meso potamia the garden spot of the world by irrigation some "j,()00 years before Christ, the value of irrigation lias been a demonstrated fact. With irrigation wherever practiced has come intensi fied and diversified farming, the substitution of small tracts for.larjje farms, an increase in production, in popu lation, in land values. The story is the same from the time of the Pharoahs who made Egypt the granery of the an cient world by irrigation, to California, whose population and prosperity are due principally to water. The ltoguc liiver valley has "not enjoyed prosperity for the past few years because it does not produce enough. Compared to other irrigated sections, with fewer natural advantages, its yield offers a shabby contrast. Years ago the population outgrew our production and the balance has been against us. There is but one way to bring prosperity and restore the balance, and that is to increase production beyond the needs of the population. This increase; cannot be secured under the old system which did well enough when we had few people to sup port it can only be secured by irrigation which will in crease the yield of every cultivated acre. There is no sale for farm properly and therefore for any other property in the Kogue K'ive'r valley. This is be cause -no practical farmer or producer will buy land in a semi-arid region like this valley is, that is linirrigated. Put. water on the land and there will he a good market for it. , Those who oppose irrigation and would retard the pro gress of the valley by clinging to obsolete and outgrown primitive methods, who lack the wisdom of the ancients in grasping their opportunities or intelligence and indus try essential to take advantage of irrigation, can easily sell when water goes with the land and go to some seclud ed. spot where progress never stirs stagnation. The water supply proposed is the; best possible. The estimated cost is reasonable. The project and its con struction will be under state and federal control, safe guarding the district, and the bonds be passed upon by federal authorities before marketed. Costs will be as cheap or cheaper now than for several years as any con tractor will confirm. Your vote can help make this region the valley of prosperity help fill, the vacant houses and redeem the deserted tracts we see on every hand. Or it can help shove Ihe country and the city with it, further into the slough of despond with ever diminishing yields, popula tion and values. BUSINESS MEN: BUY LIBERTY BONDS! BUY! BUY! BUY!

If you don't want more alfalfa, more Stain, more fruit, moro vegetables and moro dairy products, than we :iavo raised hitherto, no arguments of any kind will affect you. 1'he water supply from Dig Butte creek is In all respects sufficient as shown by all published figures. ir you desire anything further get the truth by telephoning the irrigation orfice, ir,7-R. The directors are men to be trust ed. Your committee has examined their accounts and Investigated all their proceedings. They have been honest, able, thoro and economical. Their investigation has resulted in tlio selection of a project which half a dozen competent cngineei's pro nounce feasible. Do the men who criticise it actually know anything about It? If so. do they know as much as six different engitiers? ruder the Ksl lmnt.es The estimates are liberal and will cover tho cost. Tho engineer em ployed by tho Warren Construction c-i:i pany, one of the most active con struction companies on the coast, Is satisfied with the directors' figures. To make It certain that tho project will not Involve tho voters in a great er linn than J 75 per acre, without their express consent, tho directors have pledged themselves to call an other election neiore they begin con str loiion, if the final plans show that the cost would be more. Don't believe for a minute that the state engineer will withhold hir, approval. It hasn't been asked yet, because it Is not tho right time. That stop can not bo taken until this elec tion authorizes tho bonds and final plans are submitted. The relations of the stalo engineer and the direc tors hade been pleasant and always friendly. Thev are both working for the fnme object to provide for you Ihe best and cheapest system of irri gation. The state engineer, when told the election would be called, said: "Oo to it. I think that is the first thing to do." Xo Trouble in Sight Perhaps they tell you that the dir ectors aro buying a lawsuit. With whom? The Power company says that it ".10 pes the project goes thru. It has :io foars, no complaints. Tele phone and ask Harry Walther, the manager. The rumor nboul lawsuits has no foundation, and has lieen sr-iotly circulated to frighten yon intn vot'tig "Xo."

'An urgent call has been made for hospital linen for the hospitals in France. As It is exceedingly difficult to secure the articles or . material to make them, In large quantities in the open marke't, at any reasonable price today, national headquarters asks that all chapters In the United Stntes share in providing these arti cles. Each article will he put to real use in hospitals whose equipment and facilities are being sorely tried. A plan has been made to have a "Lltfen shower" and each family in the jurisdiction of this chapter is asked to contribute ono article or a set of articles of household linen, from tholr reserve stock.
