People of Oregon are making every effort lo make Oregon the first state in the nation to go "over the top" with its alloted (jnota. Many of the counties have already exceeded their (tiota. In our own county some sections have filled requirements but Medford is far behind. The whole question is one of patriotism. Jf you are patriotic, you will dig up your last dollar to loan to Uncle Kam to support the army in France. If you are on the slacker order, you will seek to escape exposure by buying a $"!) or $100 bond when you -ought to purchase many such bonds. We have a good many in this class of near patriots. J here is no reason why you should put a committee to the trouble of looking yon up. It is up to you to present your own sunsiTiption without argument or solicitation You know the money is needed, you know what it is need ed for, and von know it is up to von to "come across" just as our soldiers have gone across, and do it at once. llie Jourtli liberty loan is the lighting loan the oth ers were loans for preparation. Every subscriber to tin loan strikes a blow for victory. When our soldiers on Ihe battle front are braving deal n, e.acn one oiiering to make the supreme sacrifice for his country and the great cause, we who remain safelv at. home surely should give th'ein every support, should niaKe every sacriiice to strengthen them. If we cannot light ourselvc;; we can make our dollars fight. It is fi great cause for which America is eiiL'aaed in this war; it is a great struggle in which the verv hope, .of 41 ..i.i :-. i i . i ' , . 1 . tin- Hiuni is omnia up uiai is oeing waged in JMirope and on the high seas.

"I havo not only ruined twenty pounds since I began taking Tanlac, but, it bus done me so much good that my doctor after seeing -the im provement this medicine brought, advleetl me to keep on taking It," de clared -Mra. Mary Bleal, of 519 Day ton Ave., Seattle, a few Uuys ago. " "I feel so grateful for Tanlac, don't know what to say," continued Arrs. Bieal. "For three years I suf fered such aony with my stomach that I wasn't able to do a thing around the house. In fact. 1 was hardly able to get around at all. I completely lost my appetite, and what I did force down caused me so much pain, I could hardly stand it. Of courso this got iny nerves in n teriible condition, and I hardly knew what it was to sleep at night, I'd just roll and tos3 until morning. "At last I got so bad off that I was taken to the hospital, and had an operation performed. 1 was there for five weeks, and when I finally ! got back home, I was a perfect wreck. ! 1 was so weak I couldn't move around j the house at all and had to stay right in bed and -my husband had to leave his work and wait on me. I had the best atlenlion I could get but noth ing seemed to give mo any strength j and altho I tried and tried to get up ' and move around, it was no use. 1 1 was too weak, I just couldn't do it. Everybody Insisted Hint I go back to the hospital, but I said: 'No'. I had been thru so much I Just couldn't bonr tho thought of going back there again. "Then I decided to try Tanlac, ns I had heard so much about it and It's the honest truth this medicine did more for me than I ever thought any thing could do. I have taken ' six bottles now, and my stomach Is In splendid condition. I have a fine ap petite nnd can eut anything I want mid never suffer the least bit after wards. ' "Tunlnc certainly has built me up wonderfully. Just think, beroro I look it, I didn't have strength enough to set my own tablo, and now I can do every bit of my houso work, even to the washing, if necessary, nnd I sleep Uko a child nnd wake up in the mornings feeling refreshod and full of life. 1'vo gained twenty pounds and look so well that my dortor told mn to keep right on taking Tanlac, and you may he sure I'm going to do it. I'm glad for everyone to know what Tanlac has done for me and hope tho story of my case will help other sufferers to get the same ro-lief." Tanlac Is sold in Medford by West Sido Pharmaty, In Gold Hill by M. D. Bowers, In Central Point by Miss M. t. Mcc, in Ashland by J. J. McXnir.

' Your directors have done all that it was possible to do to conform with the wishes of the state engineer at the same time keeping our freedom. I'ntil .September 24 there has been no serious friction between us. Ills interference in this election , is en tirely, unwarranted and we believe the time has now come when the people of this district should be fully informed concerning the history of our relations with this state official. Soon after affirmative vote of Sep tember 15, 191", we were told that Mr. Lewis would like to be consulted before we appointed an engineer and that in order to save trouble for our district later it would be wise for us to meet this suggestion. Your board discussed this suggestion fully and determined it wanted the most competent and Independent engineer it could get and one with no political influences. On .March 14 your consulting engi neer wrote to Mr. Lewis that two of ficials of a neighboring irrigation district had refused to meet him to cojisult concerning matters of mutunl Interest nnd had said to the president and attorney of llie M. I. D. that Mr. Lewis would not O. K. anything which your consulting engineer rec ommended. Mr. Lewis, on April 9, characterized this as "so absurd that no reply seems necessary. My duties and responsibilities are prescribed by j law." On Juno 15 Mr. Lewis told your board of directors that he could give no help unless Mr. Ilammatt's ser vices were discontinued. On the same date your board appointed J. B. Piatt resident district engineer in order to meet Mr. Lewis' objection. ' On July 5 Mr. Lewis wrote "1 expect to reach Medford', Monday morning July 8, unless something un foreseen arises. As stated at the previous meeting the purpose of this trip is thoroughly Investigate condi tions in your valley ..." On July 8 your board, Mr. Lewis and two representatives of the Rogue Kiver Canal comrany met to discuss the possibilities of Fish lake water and a suggestion was made that Mr. Welch, owner of the Jt. R. V. C. Co come to Medford to take part In the conference It appeared that Mr. Welch could be In Medford on July 10. This suggestion was opposed by Mr. Lewis who announced that he must return to Salem that same evening. Why tills 8 dden change?. Did the state engineer believe when be wrote that letlor on July 5 that he could "thoroughly investigate con ditions" here in part of one day when he characterized those conditions as the "most complicated Irrigation sit uation in Oregon?" On July 10 Mr. Lewis wrote "Mr. Welch has made arrangements to meet me In Portland on Friday." On July 13 Mr. Lowis wrote "Had a very pleasant conference with Mr. Welch in Portland yesterday." On July 23 Mr. Lewis wrote "I am enclosing herewith copy of letter from Mr. R. F. IMoran. dated July 22, togelher with enclosures giving de tails of their offer to sell at $250, 000. As presented to your board yesterday." On July 22 Mr. Lewis held a con ference in Medford with officials or the R. R..V. C. Co.. and afterwards made an oral report to your board. No representative of tho district was at this conference. On July 13 Mr. Lewis wroto "It Is not wllhln my duties nor have Itilie lime to gather and digest tho facts. Perhaps I could suggest some outaldo man who could work with your local engineers at your expense. . . ." On July 22, Mr. J. W. Cunningham a Portland engineer recommended was engaged to check up our data. On July 27 Mr. Cunningham ar rived In Medford and spent his time as follows: Thrr-o days on Big Butte project with J. B. 'Piatt, engineer for the f Mr. Lewis iio 'i tidvlBea' ,tl)at Slie bonds for tlio ' Big Butte pfojett Should be defeated. , J" Mr. Lewis now advises, in the sue- . ceedlng paragraph of' his letter that "If the-Medford Irrlgatlop , District Is not bound to the construction of any specific project, and (be direc tors would proceed to 'gather'" com parable data for the three best pro jects, including an appraisal of ex isting works, then the bonds should be voted." - ' v As a matter of Courtesy and not of law the following data have been submitted to the state engineer: ' (a) Run-off records of Big Butte fjegun almost twelve months ago and; during tho irrigation season, auto- uiatic guago readings showing' the state of tho water in the creek from hour to hour. . ' ' M- : (b) Cost estimates of the project by "W. C. Hammatt and by J. B. Piatt: Mr. Lowls has also seen the report of Mr. T. A. Garrow, consulting engl- ' ncer of the Warren Construction' c6mpany. i " ;' j- : (c) Detail maps showing dlstrlbtt-' tion system.' ' ' x (d) Survey and working profile of canal line Big Butte to McNeil Creek. . lo) Report of Cunningham ': col lected at district expense. ' The district has also the following data all of which is publlo and open and much of which has been submit ted to Mr. Lewis: r.. (a) Survey 'MeNeil creek to Nlclci ell Gay.. - . lb) Careful reconnaisance and hand level .Nlckell Gap to Little Butte. . . (c) Surrey classification and to pograrhy Little Butte to Bear creek entering district at 1800 feet eleva tion. (d) Contract prices for special structures and works Isiphon).; :: , ; (e) Data upon every possible source of supply. (f) Data on the Rogue Rivet Canal company project including: water rights; works and structures-, actual price paid for-.tho property and money expended; , and offers mado to sell to district. ' . Mr. Cunningham suggested' ' that this project might be bought and de veloped In units. First a dam Sf) feet high. If the reservoir held water the dam could gradually be built higher. He falls to' state what would happen to the district provid ing the reservoir Is not water tight.' Mr. Lewis states in his letter that" tho district has run out of funds without completing the investigation Detailed reports published in ' the' newspapers show that this "not true. .Moreover your board Btats that enough data have been. cplfecleti to show that the Big Butte-project Is" the best, Is feasible and can bebuilt for $75 per acre, Your, board Is pledged hot to spend a cent of your money on construction work If. final plans, specifications nnd bids show that it cannot be completed as plan-' ned for $75 per here: Mr. Garrow,' consulting engineer of tho Warren." Construction company, says that .it can be built under that price: Tfie engineers of the Shattuck-Eddinger Construction company checked Sfr.1 Hnmmatt's unit costs and reported them amply large. ' Mr. McKee. vice president of the' California-Oregon Power Co. writes that his company will do everyth'Wg thoy can to aid this district. Ydilr engineers and their engineers. believe' no conflict exists. Measurement .of" Rogue river on Septmbr io. ISis,' showed moro than 1300 sec. feet .of water. ... y" Mr. Lewis slates that a combina"-" tlon of the M. 1. D., the Talent di's:, trlct and tho Rogue RIveT Cariat company Is advisable. If there w4ra a large enough water, supply avail able for Medford and Talent coiS'-' blnod this might be well but why t5e R. R. V. C.

It Is true Mr. Le!s' nas aot approved the Big Butte project' Hut ho has not been asked to approve ft because under the law. the time has? not yet arrived. - a'. :-v Let us decldo this matter Mr our-' selves without outside Interference.- It Is your business, now make a. wise' tivo to calling n bond election.

Mr. Lewis stated that he would not oppore a bond election at this time provided your board would agree to leave open the question of where the water wns to come from. Mr. Carpenter replied that such a sur.gesilon would not be entertained BECAUSE Your directors have" sit- mltted to you the best and cheap est project. ' BECAUSE It Is an honeit and con-' scicnllous attempt to relieve the bankrupt of our valley.
