Above Is a copy of the report of the
stale board of health on a specimen of
Medfnrd's present water supply taken
from a residence on Summit avenue
in this city about a week ago.
Dr. E. II. Plckel. city health officer,
points out that there has been one
death In the, city from typhoid In the
last few days, and there have been a
sufficient number of intestinal dis
turbances to constitute an epidemic.
Today he repeated his order for all
residents to boll their drinking water
until further notice so that serious
consequences may be prevented.
It was also pointed out that while
(he water supply is chlorinized at the
intake, (his treatment according tn
the stale examination, is entirely in
effective in tho face of such extreme
contamination. All the chlorine that
could he used lias been steadily ap
plied but it has proven to he or little
practical value under present condi
tions. Dr. Plckel declares the only thing
for Medford to do Is to vote for the
Big Butte springs water, which Is 100
per cent pure, and start construction
work on the new line at the earliest
possible moment.

United States Senator C. L. McNary
In an address yesterday criticized Sec
retary of the Interior Work and pre
dicted that neither the aecretary nor
any other man or small group could
hold up western development.
James M. Kyle, president of the
Oregon Irrigation congress, told of
method which be said were lined by
Secretary Work to delay action by
congress on projects In which Oregon
Is Interested. Kyle said ho believed
that o n o of tho grea t est d raw ha r k s
of reclamation Is activity of specula
tors. He said In part:
"In so many cases sagebrush
land that was not worth over
IJ.60 up to f 10 an acre was sold
as high as $..'00 and In a few
cases as high as $500 per aero
and then the settler expected to
pay in addition tho cost of the
water. Is there any wonder that
some settlers could not mako
good ?
"The time has come when
something must be done to re
finance some of our projects. Let
us get some of the big men of the
state interested in this. Iet them
got together men trained In
financing large undertakings,
give them all the assistance need
ed, let them work out a program
then let everyone get behind It
and put It over, cut out all the
water except that which Is put on
the land, for It is only water that
will grow crops."

President Coolidge in an address be

he urged preparations for peace rath-
In the World war, declared military
power must be subordinate to civil
authority, advocated a "proper and
sound." selective service act and de
cried the spread of Inttolerance. ,
Plunging Into his prepared address
the president received his first ap
plause when he declared "nobody says
no wthat Americans cannot fight."
There wa sa burst of cheers when he
said he was "a thorough believer in a
policy of adequate military prepara
tion," which grew in volumo whon he
added:
"The real question Is whether
spending more money to mako a bet
ter military force would make a bet
ter country."
President Is Cliccrcd
The president's advocacy of a selec
tive scrlvce act brouRht many of the
war veterans lu tho audience to their
fet, cheering, and there was another
wave of cheers when ho declared:
"Whether one traces his American
ism back threo centuries to tho May
flower .or three years to tho steeragn.
is nut half so Important as whether
his Americanism of today is real and
genuine. No matter by what various
crafts we came here, wo aro all now
in the same boat."
The crowd listened attentively an
the president, aproachlng the end of
his speech, warned that "the results
of the war will bo lost and wo shall
only bo entering a period of prepara
tion for another conflict unless we can
demobilize tho racial antagonisms,
fears, hatreds, suspicions and create
an attitude of toleration In the public
mind of tho peoples of tho earth."
Mr. Coolidge was given a rousing
ovation at the end of his speech and
there was a round of cheering, singing
and band playing, with one state dele
Ration after another struggling fur
supremacy.
Mrs. Coolldgo shared honors with
the president, receiving a bouquet of
roses from the legion's auxiliary and
an auxiliary pin.
OMAHA. Neb.. Oct. 6. (A. P.)
'resident Coolidge, addreMsinir the
Amprlrnn lififin convention here to
day, declared that tho result of thel
World War will be lost and tho na
tions of the world will prepare for
snother conflict unless racial antag
onisms aro demobilised and n uni
versal attitude of toleration Is cre
ated. "If our country Is to havo any po
sition of leadership." he added, I
trust It may be In that direction.1
nnd I believe that the place whore
it should begin la at home." j
Asserting that no nation ever nu
or ever will have an army large
enough lo guaranteo It against at-1
lack In timo of peace or lo insure
Its victory In war, tha president said
that "peace and security are more
likely to result from fair and honor
able dealings and mutual agreements
for a limitation of armamenta among
Hie nations than by any attempt at
competition In aquadrona and bat
talions." No doulit this country." ho con
tinued, "could. If It wished to spend
more money, mako a better military
force, but that la only part of the
problem that confronts tho govern
ment. The real question la whether

ter military force would really make
a better country.
"I would be the last to disparage
the military art. It la an honorable
and patrlotie calling of the highest
rank. But I can aeo no merit In any
unnecessary expenditure of money to
hire men to build fleets and carry

of sui-h resources Into the making
of good roads, the building of bet
tfr homes, the promotion of edu--tlon
and all the other arts of peace
whli h minister to the advancement
of human welfare."
Avoiding direct reference to any
specific situation. Mr. Coolidge ex
pressed the opinion that military
power should be subordinated to and
governed by civil authority, and con

Miss Marian Tnllcy of Kansas City,
18-year-old daughter of a railroad

"Many musical critics regarded
Miss Talley aa the American operatic
find of the generation. Hhe was
brought to New York In 192'J by her

Metropolitan for an audition.

critics, Mr. tiattl-CazaKza, Otto If.

"Miss Talley was not at all flustered
by the eminence of her audience or
the strangeness of her surroundings.
"flho walked calmly on the stage ami
Tilled the great house with a lyric
soprano remarkably developed for a
girl of her age. the sort of voice that
stirs even critical listeners lo excited
admiration."
Miss Talley has been singing since
she was 3 years old.
When 10 years old. little Miss
Crane, then a pupil In tho public
arhoots, published a volume entitled
"The Janltor'a Boy. and Other Poems.'
Reviewing her second volume the
Brooklyn Kagle aaya that she has
written lines which must be reckoned
as very fine isielry, some of It teeter

she shows the working of a mind
which is at home In the mysteries of

Use of Proposed Extension
Sees Klamath Timber
Boom if Line Is Built.
POItTlAND, Ore., Oct. (A. P )
W, P. Knney, vice-president of
tho O r e a t Northern railway, "In
chnrge of traffic, testifying hero to
day nt tho Inter-stato commerce
commission bearing on the applica
tion of tho Oregon Trunk, Hill road's
subsidiary, to extend from Bend to
Klamath Kalis, said under cross-ex
nmlnatlon that tho Groat Northern
nnd Northern Pacific would be will
ing to let the Union Pacific coma
In on construction and uso of ths
proponed lino If It wanted to.
Joint service has proved a saving
to the rail companies and a benefit
to the public, he declared, citing
as examples tho line between tho
Columbia river and Bend and the
common use of tracks by the Great
Northern, Northern Pacific and tha
Colon paclflu In the Seattle district.
The public would benefit by the
use of Portland an a Kate way from
the Klamath Falls territory, ho ten
tlfled. If tho Northern linen wero
admitted to the district, but this city
Is not likely to become more of a
gateway than It already Is If the
Southern Pnclflo In given the terri
tory exclusively.
He said the Weyorhnusera have
told him that thoy will build a mill
with on annual cut of 180,000.000
feel and tho Hhovlln-Hlxon chiefs
have declared that they will Install
a new mill of 150,000,000 feet an
nual cut If tho Oregon Trunk in
extended '.from Bend fu Klamath'
Falls, Kenney said, i . ..
The total annual cut of the dis
trict Is now 300,000,000 feet, he said.
With tho proposed mills In opera
tion It would be 630,000,000 accord
lug to his figures.
It. W. Plcknrd, general freight
spent nf the Spokane, Portland nnd
Seattle and Orognn Trunk lines, was
on the witness stand a greater part of
the forenoon today. Ho Introduced a
mass of figures.
1'lckard stated ho expected that
forty per cent of the lumber manu
factured on Klamath lake would be
marketed lu California and other
southwestern stalea, the rest to go
north nnd east. He declared that bo
expected the Oregon Trunk would get
thirty per cent of the entire Klamath
lumber output If It built Into Klamath
Falls.
He estimated thut In five years
from the completion of the Oregon
Trunk extension. It would get 10,124
cars of lumber or more annually
which would bring a revenuo of
S3.7nn.noo to the Hill lines.
The witness said he thought a new
Hhevlln-Htxon mill would be In oper
ation on Klamath lake within eigh
teen months after the Oregon Trunk
built Into thai basin.
The WoyerhiiUMer full I would bo
completed about the samo time.
Plckuid thinks the Northern lines
would get a very large per cent of thn
output of these two mills, as well as
some traffic from existing plants. I In
said (he lmg-Hell Lumber company
has acquired a mill sltn on Klamath
lake, and that other timber owners
In central nnd southern Oregon also
had sites. He believed that these mills
would be built If tho Oregon Trunk
enters Klamath Falls.
Itoiiht for Cattle Industry
Hn stated that the livestock Indus
try would grow very rapidly If a com
peting line entered the territory. He
said that now some 1100 to ISI0O car
loads of stock In shipped from that
district nil going to California but he
thouKht that of this amount the
Oregon Trunk could get 396 carloads
for. Portland and I Hi ears for Chi
cago. The traffic for1 all linos would
grow rapidly, he said,
Upon cross examination by Ren P.

ard was asked If ho thought any
