A solution plan of Medford's
water problem, which was put be
fore the city council last night by
Earl II. Fehl, and which seems feasl-
ahle as tending to Insure the city an
ample supply of pure mountain
water from HlfJ Dutte Springs, is
looked upon with much favor by the
councllmen and Mayor Gates.
This is In addition to the city ad
ministration's plan of building an
additional reservoir and pipe line
system across Hear creek this full.
work on which will begin in Septem
ber. Thbi addition will bo built this
fall independent of the plan offered
by .Mr. Fehl, the councllmen and
mayor assured Delroy Getchell, who
happened to be at the meeting on
another matter when the Fehl solu
tion came up, and who also looked
with approval on the plan offered
and hoped it would bo adopted.
Hut tax payers need not be alarm
ed, as no bond Issue to carry the Fehl
solution out must he voted by the
city. The water system under his
plan will itself pay for the neces
sary bonds to be issued.
Mayor Gates and the councllmen,
all of whom were present at the
meeting except Mr. Gaddis, who is on
a vacation, told .Mr. Getchell he could
write A. N. Farmer, chairman of the
finance committee on buildlirg a na
tional orphans home for the Brother
hood of Yeoman fraternal order, that
an additional reservoir and pipe line
system would be built before winter.
The vicinity of Medford Is being
considered ns an available site for
this big orphanage, with Its proposed
125 bungalows and other structures
to house 2,000 persons, and naturally
the Yeoman order takes an ardent In
terest In the future water supply of
tho city. Mr. Farmer, who has left
the city, has recently addressed the
local Chamber of Commerce forum
on the orphnnage plan.
City Water Superintendent Davis
last night also reported to tho coun
cil thut the estimated cost of build
ing a single system settling basin and
filtration plant was $50,000. Tho
council merely received tho report
and loft Its discussion for some future
meeting, but offhand Its cost was
probably deemed as too much to

fore acting on It. Mayor Gates ap
pointed an investigation committee,
the council water committee consist
ing of .Messrs. Keene, Miles and
l.uiniiilen, to look Into all angles with
Mr. Fehl, Water Commissioner Cum
mings, and others interested, and re
port back to the council at Its next
meeting two weeks hence.
The plan as outlined by Mr. Fehl
includes a first water right, meas
uring 50 second feet and dated Dec.
10, 1913, on Big Butte springs, on
which he holds a ninety day option
in behalf of the city, and which he
will turn over to the city free of
charge. The water will be delivered
to the city through a large reenforc-
cd stave pipe line.
As explained by the speaker, for the
city to procure this supply of pure
water, it will be necessary for the
city to create a city water commis
sion, and. by vote of the people en
ter Into a contract with the water
commission for the use of the water,
following which the water right and
the delivery of the water to the city
will be financed by a bond issue se
cured by the water, pipe line and con
tract with the city. In no event will
the city be asked to stand good for
the bonds. The control of the water
commissison would be In the handB
of the city at all times, but the com
mission itself would be a corpora
tion existing for the purpose of sup
plying Water to tho city.
Mr. Fehl declared the plan was
simple and easily carried out, and
that similar plans are being used in
many lines of business.

FOR G. CODUG'S
DEFEAT AT DALLES
The chief matter of interest before
the regular meeting1 of the American
Legion post last night was the re
port of delegates to the Btate convent
tion. Adjutant A. J. Crose gave a
detailed report of tho proceedings at
The Dalles and the local members
were given the sidelights on the elec
tion of state officers wherein the
Portland delegation swung their votes
with eastern Oregon as against the
western part of the state in violation
of their pledge last year to support a
Medford candidate for state com
mander. General dissatisfaction was felt at
the lack of constructive effort on the
part of the Portland delegation
which was largely Instrumental in
the suppression of anti-alien land
ownership legislation.
Portland post with their large dele
gation overshadows the rest of the
state and their Influence is felt in
any matter which may come before a
state convention. This system Is be
coming abnoxlous to the balance of
the state particularly western posts
and some effort to limit the Portland
delegation may result.
