EDEN VALLEY PRECINCT, July 20. I have been fain 11 In r with every foot of land south of Talent since my early childhood, and I am able to see what irrigation lias done for the poorer soil It has literally transformed acres and acres of It. There are fine gardens growing on some ot the land where til hardpan Is only six inches below th surruce of the land. Airaliu fields where only foxtail and thistles used to grow. In my girlhood days all the land adjoining the Williams place, was only a dry wuste after the grain crop was cut, and the grain crop was usually a very light one. All of the lund on tho east Bide of Wagner creek, Just south of Talent was owned at that time by Jim Helms. Now there are eight homes on that same land, this making all the inhabitants more than a good living. Water has been the important factor in making all that land productive. Water makes the green fields where the dry stubble used to be. It may cost to have water, but It pays hi the end When the great canal east of Ashland is finished there will be plenty o water the entire season for every far mer who Is under the ditch. E. R. Jones of the Log Cabin Service station on the top of the Slskiyous was In north Talent the first of the week He tells me that Mr. and Mrs. Merrill a former Ashlnnd mnn, but now of Los Angolos, are camping In the park nt that place and that Mr. Merrill pro nounces it the acme of grandeur from a scenic standpoint. Mr. Jones went to Medford to procure supplies for their house, in the way of soft drinks, candies and cigars, in fact all of the many good things which he carries. Mr. Fitch returned to Lake of the Woods Tuesday and was accompanied by several young ladies who rode horse back. Thoy had a chnperone to nccom pnny them. Among them were Miss Lillian Relmer, MIsb Mildred Nye, Miss Margaret Fitch, Miss Muriel Schuch ard. The riders wont as far as Ash land park, whore they had their first camp, then went to Applogate ranch From there they would go on to Lake of the Woods. It transpiroB that the new Overland car which Rob Furry had was his brother Milo's car that was seen stand ing In his yard nnd was thought to be long to Rob. ThlB Friday evening Is the great community gathering at Talent. There will be a regular mob there to help these good people add another good thing to tho betterment of the town, namely, a good piano, to be used In all their public gatherings. The Ice cream nnd cake will vanish like magic, while the dimes will make dollars for the good cause. There is some early threshing being done already In tho farming belt around Talent. There Is need of the grain for feed. Many of the farmers will begin tho feeding ot hogs, as well ns the ninny largo poultry flocks being brought to laying age. The many old acquaintances of Mrs. McTuvisli, formor residents of old String Town, ns it was called in those days, were surprised to receive a visit from herself nnd hor son George and her daughtor, Mrs. Turner, and Bon once owned the film garden home no owned by Noah Chandler. The M Tavish family were touring Californi and Oregon. Many of the older residents of Tal ent were grieved to learn of the accl dent which befell Mrs. N. J. Hendrick- son In Medford Saturday evening.

FiBh of the Star garden ranch south of Phoenix, made a trip out to Beaver creek and Lost Prairie last Sunday. They found the country rich in scenery and a place where one would love to go during the hot days If only the roads were made passable. - The apricot crop Is being harvested In Fem - Valley.

Don't i5)Q ' AN OPEN LETTER OF JACKSON COUNTY There will be 'a' special recall election held in this county on July 9Hfli "MV nmiip will nnnnnr nn the ballot ns a candidate for the posi- ;,. nf si,,.iff nnw lw.1,1 liv f! election and my candidacy I wish to say a few words to the Voters of Jackson County. In the past fyxo yeartho; people have, to a preat extent, lost con fidence iri'the disposition oK ability of the county police powers to pniiterif iri'nYiitions.fif ili law. fit. cial officers, at" great expense, to law viojatoVs: ? f -; LCJU71' The sheriffs office has seenretl tain classes of offenders. With an efficient, honest, ami capable police and law enforcement administration working and cooperating with a vigorous prosecutum, bootleg rings could have been broken up by the arrest and conviction of their individual members and then more or less prominent backers and defenders brought into whole some disrepute. This should and could have been accomplished by a capable and energetic local police administration and the tax payers saved thousands of dollars paid out for the assistance of special officers. Another class of offenders directed against the majesty of the law would never have led to the division and bitterness now existing if they had been met promptly and vigorously by the sheriff and other law enforcement officers of our county. I refer to the so-called Ku Klux'Klan outrages. For the past three or four months indict ments and convictions have been of daily occurrence by the newspa per's and other biased 'and interested groups, mostly for political pur poses, but no arrests have been attempted by our lawfully constituted county authorities. . '' These clinics, however simple their nature, have been magnified and enlarged upon by rumor, hearsay and downright misrepresenta tion, both from home and up-state sources, until they are now the subject of a special grand jury investigation, with all its nttendant expense and notoriety, with special) correspondents from the big dailies, special prosecutors and assistants, ex-sleuths from Portland and witnesses from Southern California, with precious grand goblin records, all to make a Roman Holiday for the lawyers, nnd politicians, at the expense of the people. And still a great hubbub is being raised about the expense of a recall which is the only method under our electoral system whereby the people can have a chance to remedy an unbearable situation. Now a word personal to myself. I have lived in Jackson County 13 years. All my life I have been engaged in productive and con structive pursuits. I have a great tions, the greatest and freest on bulwark of our liberties. If you elect me Sheriff nt the will give the people of Jackson County a sound, conservative business administration, and that the infractors and violators -of our laws, whether they be individuals, class or clan,. will have, to reckon with Portland sleuths.
