. Mother Jones, who celebrates
her 110th birthday, has been
all her life fighting for work
in;.' people and their unions, for
better pay, shorter hours.
She has not lost faith or en
thusiasm even when prosperous
times and good pay made men
neglect their unions, or when
private arrangements m a d e
leaders sell out their men.
The day of individual fight
ers like Mother Jones has gone.
Modern unions, able to buy of
fice buildings worth twenty
millions, as one did recently in
New York, arc run on a bis;
scale. . ,

Wrliich can always get cost plus

hilmr has become part of Bin

return, Mother Jones, in the
eyes of modern union labor,
would be classed as a "bolshe

naval affairs, find two interest

SURVEY OF
RogueoVally Not 'Drainage
Conscious Says En
gineer Work Natural
Run-Off Inadequate Irri
gation Waste Is Factor.
A progress report ot the drain
age survey of the Rogue River
valley, conducted by R. A. Work,
.assistant engineer ot the depart
jment of agriculture has been filed,
t revealing many interesting facts
jand figures, including the observa
tion that horticultural interests of
I this section, in general, aa yet fail
, to recognize the value of drain
age as a crop production factor,
I though its needs were urged as
j early as 1910. Local orchardists
'and runners are not "drainage
conscious.
T h e f o r ma t io n of any large
drainage district is not recom
mended at this time, byiCngineer
Work, though the formation of
small drainage districts in the
Table Rock and Talent districts
are regarded aa feasible.
Formation of a large drainage
district at this time, is not urged,
because the fountain head of the
ground water flow is not definitely
known in all affected areas; a
considerable area of land having a
high water table is sown to grain
or not cropped at all and such
land may not be in a position nt
this time to bear drainage costs;
outlets for drainage water are pro
vided by natural channels for most
lands needing drainage; and the
cost of securing an outlet in an
Individual case will seldom exceed
one-third of the cost of individual
systems.
Work Summarized
Kngineer Work in an interview,
summarized his work to date aa
follows;
A drainage problem of some
extent has always existed In the
Med ford area of the Rogue River
valley;
The natural drainage of the val
ley soil is limited, and In many
cases not sufficiently good to take
care of excess of summer and win
ter water;
The water table was closer to
the surface in the summer of lit 2 it,
in some sections, than ever before
as far as data shows;
The rise of the water table was
not sufficient to bring it to tho
danger point In all sections, but
was sufficiently hiRh in some sec
tions to bring it to a dangerous
height, and hesitancy in rectifying
same will result in toss of valuable
trees and crops.

"No interests to serve but the
