Warns in "ultogethcr too prevalent.'
A lack of reNprct for tfuvernmcnl

Following Is a copy of a commu
nication sent out by tho Hokuo Vulley
Mlulsteiinl association to tho officials
of the county whose duties pertain to
the enforcement of the law.
To the Law Knforrement officials
1 of Jackson county:
Dear Hirs: This organization has
'authorized us to direct thin letter to
each of you whose official duties lvc
you a part In the apprehension of law
violators or the enforcement of the
law dealinu with violations.
Our association thru several ' of its
members, has as you know, kept in
close touch with your offices and the
activities pertainfne to tho enforce
incut of thoso laws which deal with
public morals. Wo have Riven you
the best support possible thruout the
county, and the churches which wc
represent and our constituencies are
quite solidly behind your el forts in
law enforcement.
The principal purpose of this com
munication is to convey to you the
commendations of this association for
the manner in which you have, ut
most without a siiiKb' 1 exception.
Kivcn your eneiKies to the difficult
tusks which the type of law violations
of the present demand. The past sev
eral months have witnessed the best
law enforcement proKiam this county
has known. There has been a spirit
of acurcssive action which has
brought results.
Two tilings have been responsible
lor tlie results attained: Individual
determination to make (,'uud, and a
splendid cooperation between the
various offices. The growing senti
ment thruout the county for actual
and real enforcement has, wc are sure
een a great help to you.
Krom the outset the offices of the
district attorney and sheriff, where
actual enforcement revolves, have re
vealed exceptional harmony and clos
est cooperation. We are. with uli
other good citizens, dnslroUH that this
same harmony and cooperation be
tween these offices ahull not be les
sened by anything whatsoever. The
public Is entitled to that nnd feels, we
arc sure, from past activities, that It
will continue.
Tills judicial district i. In regard to
all forms of judicial matters and
especially In law enforcement, unus
ually favored In the person of Us
circuit judge. The spirit and example
of this office Is felt down thru the
whole process of enforcement nnd
the officials 'who administer In their
various capacities. Judge C. M.
Thomas has uctually pioneered nnd
set precedents In sentences passed
upon violators In this state, r or a
time It seemed that he almost stood
alone. He has. not received the back
ing of the public press In this county
that he bus had In other counties and
other sections of tho northwest, und
tho backing which he deserves.
The Justice of t lie peace and police
judges of the county huvo been un
usually diligent In the matter of ade
quate sentences for violations. Wc
are sure that It reflects the spirit and
temper of the public mind.
We believe that we have a trio of
stale traffic officers operating in
southern Oregon unexcelled unywhero
for their zeai, good sense and imper
sonal application to their duties.
These men are always on tho job and
have made an enviable record. Of
course every one deplores the fact
that that a criminal is sometimes
made to suffer at the hands of an
of l leer In the performance of his
sworn duty, but the recent case Is by
no means an exception. All manner
of criminals take their lives In their
own hands V hen I hey run afoul of
the law and fall to respond to the de
mands of the agents of the taw.
The federal and statu special offi
cers, the county court, the deputies
and city police huve contributed Im
mensely to the law enforcement pro
gram of the past several months. The
former have done commendable work
in connection with the county offic
ials. In some communities tho city
fflclals have been slack or uncon
cerned In their dealing wilh serious
moral conditions. At Ihe feet of the
mayor and his official family must
the public lay the blame for failure in
moral and vice conditions of the
tow us. .Med fort) und Ashland have
seen a real elevation In the moral
tone, but certain of the smaller com
munities huve been unjuslif lubly
slack.
riils communication makes no ref
nee to the pust or reflection upon
former officials who diligently pur
sued their duties in these things.
Many of them did exceptionally well.
The lioguc Valley Ministerial associa
tion nuthorir.cd this statement with-
it l the knowledge uf uny of tho of
ficials concerned.
This association stands ready al
ways to assist In the promotion of
every public good. We will stand by
every official who we believe to be
diligently ami aggressively doing his
duly. You may except our coopera
tion in any way possible. '

TQ HAVE CHARGE
OF WATER DEPT.
I'. M, Kershaw, tho new council
man, took part In his first council
meeting last night, and any lingering
doubt held by fellow city officials that
he would make a good municipal
statesman was dispelled at this time
by tho fact that ho held his cigar at
the right angle an he listened Intent
ly to tho reading the minutes of the
previous mcVting. thereby violating
all Aledford city hall precedent.
Mr. Kershaw In addition to fulling
heir to membership on committees
that was held by his predecessor, Dr.
ll. It. Klllott, was last night appoint
ed .by Mayor Alenderfer to tho land
upprulsal committee, on which ho will
serve with A. J. Crose, J B. McDon
ald and J. AW Jacobs. He Is now
chairman of the health committee.
An Important coming change in city
affairs became known at this meeting
when It was announced that by agree
ment between the council and city
water commission. City Superintend
ent Chas. W. Davis will huve nothing
to do wilh the city water uf fairs after
the first of the mouth.
Tho occasion for this change is thai
Mr. Davis. It has long been realized
by the city government, baa had too
many duties to look after. It is the
plan now of the water commission to
have Its new engineer, yet to he c hos
en, in charge of the construction of
tho new :75,000 water system, look
after the superintendent's duties, with
thp assistance of J. T. (Khorty) Con
rad, who has long been the right hand
man of Superintendent Davis aa as
sistant water superintendent.
Superintendent Davis after this
change Is made will still have plenty
of work to do to keep him busy from
morning until night, as he will con
tinue to be superintendent of streets
and the city building department, city
purchusliig agent and inspector or
elcctrict, lighting and plumbing af
fairs.
Another change announced is that
Ihe council has decided to employ a
competent stenographer-clerk for the
office of Superintendent Davis and his
assistant, in the above departments,
so that the office. In the city hall will
be kept open all during the day as an
iccommoilation to the public.
In addition to passing a number of
delinquent property settlement ord
i nn nees nnd t ra nsuct i ng m u ch ro u -tine
business, the council last night
passed an ordinance prohibiting the
throwing of hand bills and advertis
ing cards into uutos, other than city
or federal notices like 1 forest fire
warnings. Viloation of this .ordinance
provides a fine up to $100. und jail
sentence up to 50 days.

SALKM. Ore., Oct. Both Ells
worth Kelley and James A'1I1oh( con
victs on trial for the murder of
fluard John Sweeney in the prison
break of .tugust 12, admitted to him
at the time of their capture that they
expected to hang for their part in the
a f fair. Deputy Sheriff Christofersen
of Portland, told -the jury from tho
witness stand yesterday afternoon.
Christofersen was one of the four
Multnomah county officers to capture
Willos and Kelley In the woods about
ten miles north of (Joldendale, "Wash.
The deputy declared that the two
convicts had stolen an automobile
and articles of food In Blngen, 'Wash.,

alongside an abandoned rond when
surprised. At the time of their cap
lure Willos had a .3H calibre revolver
on his person und Kelley said that he
had thrown his gun Into a slough
near Portland. Christofersen said.
Several of the state's witnesses dur
ing the afternoon session gave testi
mony in support of the state's conten
tion that both Willos and Kelley were
armed during the' break and that
they participated In the shooting.
There Is little Indication that the
case will go to the jury before tho
end of the week, although the state
expects to rest Its case by noon to
day. The defense has a long list of
witnesses to be heard, including four
convicts nt the penitentiary who have
been fellow prisoners of tho defen
