M. Chadwick, Engineer for Canal Company, Declares Critical Time of Adjustment Must Be Expected Ten dency Take Water in Excess The second day ot the Jackson County Irrigation school at the pub lic library was marked this morning by a good attendance and interesting and Instructive talks by Prof. W. L. Powers, director of soils and drain age at O. A C. Attorney Charles M. Thomas and H. M. Chadwlck, engi neer for the Rogue River Canal com pany. "The critical time In an Irriga tion project." said Mr. Chad wick in his paper," Is between the time of completion of the project, and Its height of efficiency in the distribu tion of water ever Us district." These first days, said Mr. Chadwlck were usually marked by censtant contro versy between the water company, and the landowners, but "urged that there be a spirit of fair play and co operation on both sides. He said this was the surest way to success." "Too many peoiVo are willing to concede points if they are benefitted, and lsg it they are net," continued Mr, Chadwlck. "I have found a ten dency in my experience in Irrigation for some tc take just a little more water than they are entitled to." He favored the addition of a new com mandment: "Thou shalt not covet thjr neighbor's water." - Referring to the rules and regula tion, that of necessity, would be formed for the water users, he said, "I don't expect them to suit every body until they have been 'seasoned.' and changes would be made to suit local conditions." Keep Laterals Clean The speaker declared the first dutv of the water user was to keep the farm laterals clean, and the first duty of the water company to maintain its ditches. All conscientious water companies endeavor to eliminate fa voritism, and serve for the best in terests of the entire irrigation dis trict.? irof. Powers delivered an address on "The Duty of Water," and how it could be employed "to do some thing besides run down hill." Its wientiflc application to plant life, sc as to increase the productivity of land was explained, and in conclu sion the speaker answered a number of questions propounded by his listen ers. Attorney C. M. Thomas explained . the legal problems that were met and overcome by the local district, and talks were made by Herman Powell and Ralph Cowgill. This afternoon the public library lawn was used by Prof. Powers to show how the land to be irrigated should be laid out. Over Irrigation Dangerous Uses' and abuses of water for irrigat- in; purposes were discussed at the afternoon session yesterday by Prof, Power, and Herman Powell appeared with a caw and board to illustrate bow to make an irrigation ditch, per for inula.

PROMINENT ELK OFFICIAL FOR POP GATES. GOVERNOR Ges. Neuner, Jr., district deputy grand exalted ruler of the Elks, made an official call on the Med ford lodge last night and will visit the Ashland lodge officially Saturday night He is spending the day in Medford visiting his many friends. Mr. Neuner says there is not much politics stirring at Roseburg as yet. However. J. O. Watson, formerly of Jackson county and1 a son of E. D. Wat son, formerly on the Oregon supreme sourt bench, and Senator B. L. Eddy will be candidates for the republican nomination for circuit judge, t. suc ceed Judge J. W. Hamilton, democrat. who has been on the bench for IS years. There are six counties in that judicial district. John S. Coke, republi can, of Marshfield, and G. F. Skipworth democrat, t Eugene being the other two judges, both of whom will prob ably run again. Mr., Neuner who would not predict who would be nominated for governor by the republicans, because there are no candidates announced as yet, said he mould like to see C. E. Gales, a southern Oregon man, nominated. Regarding the famous Brumfield murder case Mr. Neuner who as prose cuting attorney for Douglas county secured his conviction, says that the arguments on the appeal to the su preme court, brought by the defense will probably not be hoard until April or May. There" Is no cause for hurry. as all sentences for capital punishment will be held up until the constitution ality of the law is determined. Dr. Brumfield is reported as well and flourishing, and he often sees his wife and two boys who are now living in Salem. visional government, but by tho Iull Eireann. An article In the Dally Telegraph re marks that, if the raids were not planned with the connivance of the provisional government, It Is obvious that much of the material which was passed to It by the llritish has rvached hands unfriendly to Mr. Collins and his colleagues. It adds that there are many signs that local commanders of the Irloh republican army who aup- wltu the least possible dolay.

The Medford Furniture & Hard ware company first opened for busi ness in 1902, has changed locations several times, and their new building will have more floor apace than their present quarters. They have shown their faith in Medford by tak ing a several years' leaae on the building. J. H. Drew has the contract for the erection of the building. . The crowded condition of the busi ness section of Medford has been a serious drawback for the city for some time, and Mr. Hansen ft Bon are to be congratulated for "breaking the Ice" by starting the erection of new business property and for their faith In Medford as the metropolis of Southern Oregon and northern California. Mr. Hansen came to the Rogue river valley in 1S87 and set out one of tho -first commercial orchards on the west part of their ' present heme place, one and a half miles south of Medford, on the Pacific highway. The present orchard oa the home place consists of 32 acres of 16 year eld Bosc pears that are very productive and Bhipped to New York each year and sold at good prices. The erection of this building will be from the returns of the Hansen orchard, which shows what Rogue River fruit will do.
