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.

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

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.

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.
