This legislative act wns approved

namiot yei insen ureal 23, - 1086, and therefore became ef
fective on ttio 2iith day of Mar,

Even. OHHiunlng that this net Is In:
nil things valid, who can say with
certainty how much of the Tilg Butlo
wnter Medford -owns? It. is known
tthere have been ninny appropria
tions, among them one for the Eaglo
Point Irrigation district.
Another claim which promises im
mediate litigation is that of. the
heirs of ll. A. Ttowley, who filed
and ohtalned water permits in 11)15,
and wlto later, surrendered these
permits to State Knglneer Lewis,
upon written agreement of the then
slate water board, that any waters
of Hig liutte not assigned by the
board to feasible irrigation plans
should be returned to Jtowley, and
that any water thus disposed of !
should be paid for by the appro-j
prlators to llowley through nrbitrn-i
tion. If this written agreement made
by the state water board through'
the state engineer Is valid, have not
the Howley heirs a claim against
Medford for at least a rensonnble
value of the water thus apprnprlat-j
ed? It appears evident the courts
will haw to decide this question,
so why did the Medford Wnter com-l
mission and the city council not
have the city's rights established in
the courts before Asking the people
to vote a million dollars In bonds?
There is positively 00 need for hurry,
ns the legislative act quoted fixe

Economy isn't the only reason"
why housewives take such a
natural pride in their electric

It's one of the practical reasons, of course
like the quick, clean, electrical heat, the
freedom from fuel and ashes, the better

But after all, these might be a man's rea
sons for equipping his home with an elec

you wish to see what every woman thinks
of clean, convenient, efficient electrical

the pride with which she says, "MY elec

It Certainly Is a Smart-looking Car'
That's what everyone has to say who has seen the
latest Ford cars.
That such attractive motor
cars could be offered with
out the slightest increase in
prices, seemed incredible to
a public long familiar with
Ford values.
Yet enthusiasm for the
smart new appearance can
never supersede the fact
that it is the quality of ma
terials and workmanship
that has made the Ford
the world's leading automo
bile value. New beauty has
not crowded out traditional
Ford reliability.
The very volume of Ford
output demands absolute ac
curacy of every working part.
The steady flow of produc
tion is dependent upon parts
fitting together perfectly;
inaccuracies would inter
rupt and delay assembly.
And to this precision must
be largely credited the
uniformly fine performance
and freedom from trouble of - .
all Ford cars. , ,
Closed cars now shown in '
color are unusually pleasing;
new and finer upholstery
gives an artistic harmony to
the cars. Bright nickeled
radiators feature the closed
cars and nickeled headlamp
rims are on all types. ,The :
fenders are larger and longer, '
and the running boards are ' ,
wider. '
A
Comfort is increased by the s,
cars' lower center of gravity,
by the low, deep, wide seats.'
by the added foot room, and
by many other refinements
that contribute to your ease,! .
convenience and safety.
Here is the ideal car forsJ V
woman's personal use good-
looking, trustworthy, easy to' ,
handle and inexpensive to1
maintain. Here, too, is a V
practical car for any family V
that every member of the jV
family can enjoy. . - .
