.. TTlio daiifcr of a tcmimrury water
famine In the city ceased at a few min
utes after 6 p.. m. yesterday when tlie
brook in the nuun pipe line near Wcl-lon-was
repuired and water uKttin be
fan freely flowing through the city
niatfis. V'it came Just in time, as at 4
p. m. Hi lien the drain on (lie reservoir
during the day'iiad drained that im
mense basin so that only three feet of
water remained Fire Chief Lawtnn
ordered the remaining water in the
reservoir shut off from the city mains,
as It was needed to maintain pressure
for possible fire use.
,.;The only water supply from then on
Until the chlers embargo was lifted as
soon as the break had been repaired
and water again began flowing Into
Ilia reservoir, was what was contained
in tho mains, which enabled a fow
homes to obtain a little from faucets.
h) the great majority of homes, how
ever, not a drop of wator could be ob
tained from tho faucets, and In many
homes where tho, women had neglected
to fill tubs, kettles, boilers and other
receptacles eurlldi; In tho day, In pre
paration for ahi"emergoiicy, the fain
illos wera truly "up against it" for
water for drinking and cooking pur
poses, j
. Henco when shortly aftor six o'clock
the water began, again to flow Btrong
through the mains there was much re
Juicing throughout the city.
jHowever the siren whistle was not
blown to tell the people that tho em
bargo on watering lawns and gardens
was lifted, as that could not be done
until the reservoir had filled up again.
This desired result was reached this
morning nbout 8:45 and City Superin
tendent Davis ordered the whistle
sounded at once.

BY J. H. MULCHAY
J. II. Mulchuy of the Southern Pa
cific lines was tho chief speaker at
the Chamber of Commerce forum
luncheon at the Hotel Medford this
noon. The topic of his talk was the
dissolution of the Southern Pacific
and Central Pacific ruilroads as re
cently decldod by tho supreme court
Mr. Mulchay explained Cie Incon
venience of tho dissolution of the two
systems which have been in operation
as one system for the past 52 yoars.
lie stated Unit If the C. P. Is Bold Ore-1
by water us the shipping rate over
the Oregon Tahama rounte would be
prohibitive.
The purchase of the C. P. would
block the S. r. as an independent and
transcontinental system from all
three directions, east, north and south
aiid would force the S. P. to use the
tracks of another company. In addi
tion, the prospective purchasers, name
ly the Union Pacific proposo to trade
the privilege of operating over 191 miles
of the now C. P. track through barren
northern California for the privilege
of operating over 304 miles of S. P.
track In fertile Oregon. Business is
nil on the 191 miles and Is good on
the 3!4. This does not seem a fair
trade. Other points were brought out
by the speaker but the above were the
more Important ones.
j Parade on July 4th
A. J. Vance of the Craters club an
nounced that it had been decided by
that organization that Medford should
have a representation In the Jackson i
county parade at Athland on the
Fourth and that the club had appropri-
i

Another point against the dissolu
tion of the systems strongly empha
sized by tho speaker wub the disad
vantage It would be to lumber mills
operating in tho Interior. Under the
present system tho shipping rato Is
low enough to alow of Interior. mills
competing with tidewater mills ub the
S. P. purchases all of its ties and
bridgo timbers from the interior
mills. Howevor should the C. P. be
sold tho timbers would be purchas

heeding tho orders not to lrrigato

Police Timothy had to visit one

ber of others used an opcii hoso at

, Fortunately no fire occurred dur
ing tho day and tho main body of
citizens conserved tho water supply
as much as possible.
Superintendent Davis announces
that tho repairs made by his crew
of workmen at tho broken plpo lino
wero done so well that they aro re
garded as permanent. This nccldont
to the wator supply system yesterday
won many citizens over to tho long
urged Idea of the city building an' ad

making other changes in the systom,

like amount and a motion was made
and seconded nnd passed unanimously
that It bo recommended to the board of
directors of the chamber of commerce
that the chamber respond and co
operate with a similar sum.-
Carl Tengwald arose and announced
that the Craters club still had for salo
a number of tho Medford name plates
for autos and that anyone anticipating
a long auto trip should purchase a pair.
Tho salo of these plutes he stuted, at
$2.00 per pair, is the only money mak
ing proposition In which the Craters
club is engaged and the organization is
financed by tho sale of these plates.
J. W.MJresslor toifk the floor at the
termination of Mr. Tengwald's talk
and made the announcement that the
Jackson County Fri- association had
Borne name plates for cars that would
advertise the fair to be held here next
September and that he thought it the
duty of every loyal citizen to purchase
and make use of one.
Several songs led by D. E. Millard

Artillery was employed by the pro
visional troops, at least one eighteen
pounde'r having been In action, and
considerable damage was reported to
have been done the insurgents' Btrong
hold. This had been strongly fortified
by the Irregulars, who replied vigor
ously to the fire of tho attacking par
ties. Machine guns were being freely used
by both sides.
The entire clly was awakened by the
din, even to the remote suburbs.
, The attack on the Insurgents was
preceded by the sending of two com
munications to Commandant O'Connor.
One of these demanded the release of
Lieutenant General Connell, assistant
qhlef of staff of the regular forces who
waB seized yesterday by the insur
gents. The other set a time limit after
which an attack would be made. . a

against the windows, barring several
"f tho doors and guarding the remain
ing approaches with barbed wire.
The garrison Is believed to be partic
ularly well equipped with rifles and
ammunition while machine guns are
posted on the roof. The number of the
defenders Is unknown but It is be
lieved there are some hundreds, well
provisioned against a siege.
The determination of the provisional
government to recapture the Four
Courts is ascribed entirely to the in
surgents' act In seizing Lieutenant
General O'Connell, assistant chief of
staff of the regular forces and not to
Colonial Secretary CfiurchiU's warning
In the house of commons. .
About 700 men were engaged on the
government side and the rattle of rifle
and machine gun fire was punctuated
by tho explosion of bombs and the oc
casional booming of 12-pounder artillery.
Orange hall, taken over by the insur
gents as a "refuge for Belfast Catho
lics," also was attacked.
DUBLIN, June 28. (By Associated
Press). The premises in north Great
George's street occupied by the com
munists party and the I. W. W. as
headquarters, was fortified after the
government attack on the Four Courts
had begun and government troops
were fired upon from the newly forti
fied building.
LONDON, June 28. A Dublin dis
patch to the Evening Standard says
that after some hours of fighting many
of the Insurgent Irish troops under
Rory O'Connor are retreating.
The correspondent, in a later dis
patch says he understands the lnsur
gont garrison in the Fowler Memorial
hall has capitulated to the provisional
government forces.'

this work."
Xot ARrceU On Bonus
An apparent wide divergence of op
inion exists among disabled service
men as well as in the mind of the
general public in regard to the mer
its of the bonus bill at present before
congress, the legislative committee
said In its report prepared for sub
mission today. The committee urged
that the disabled veterans' conven
tion state 'its attitude by means of
resolutions. It also advised that the
convention endorse the so-called New
Sweet bill providing for Immediate
care of veterans.
Most of the complaints from ser
vice men arise from failure to have
their claims acted on promptly, ac
cording to the committee which re
ported that very few complaints were
made about condition in Individual
hospitals. The committee declared
that some of the delays in securing
compensation seemed grievous,
months being required in some cases
to get rid ot men in gfeat need of it.
The United Stntes veterans' bureau
should provide 'a tubercular hospital
at Tucson, Ariz., the committee re
port stated, notwithstanding the fact
that the National Tuberculosis asso
ciation was opposed to such a move.
The convention should go on rec
ord, according to the committee, as
demanding that every man trained
should bo placed in a Job for which
he was trained by the government.
In addition the committee advised
that some provision be made for men
who, on completing rehabilitation
training, had to accept temporarily
lower pay than tW were' receiving
from the government. . . i!

WOMEN AND MEDICINE
In Europe years ago a worno-nT
named Hlldegarde wrote a " notabli t
book on medicinal plants. Jn thos.
days the men were too busy bothoririit I
about dogmas of rellglon'-and 'mcdlf
cine, and the study of herbs was
thought beneath their notice.
It' was the women, however, who
mostly conducted the hospitals nnd
cared for the sick, and thus they
learned much of great value. They
let the men fight out the questions
of theories.

Compound, prepared almost fifty
years ago by a woman, Lydla E;

the ailments peculiar to women,
Jt is a vegetable compound and of
great value for this purpose This
is proven day after day, and in your

British May Aid
LONDON, June 28 (By Associated
Press). It Is believed lidre that the
Irish regular forces under" Michael Col
lins are sufficiently strong and well
equipped to deal with the situation
which has arisen In Dublin.' A major
tty of their arms, Including machine
guns and artillery, have been supplied
by the Hrltish government undor tho
terms of the Anglo-Irjsh treaty. ,Thoy
are manning their own artillery.
There are several thousand British
troops still in Dublin and it is Intlmat
od that, should Collins' request aid from
this source, troops would be placed at
