Referring to the questllon of special consideration of fruit ahlp mente In event the fifteen per cent freight rate Increase should be grant ed the railroads by the Interstate commerce commission, Paul 3houp, president of the Southern Pacific railway, stated here Saturday that tbe rate should be modified to suit the various Industries In a manner that the burden be equalized. Long dis tance hauling should be considered he added. It's a long rocky road we have to travel, but In the end tt Is better to have walked It than to have stood still," he said, speaking of buelneaa progress. In times of such economic unrest, there Is no doubt but that all short selling should be eliminated on the New York market," Mr. Shoup de clared, and It Is evident that such exciting of publlo feeling at the pres ent la disastrous. He expressed the belief that tbe ruling should not be come permanent, as "during prosper ous times It takes more than short selling to check their optimism." When asked his opinion of tne de velopment of the Orescent City har bor which would obviously cut down on rail transportation, the president said that he was In favor of any thing "productive or constructive." There has been, too much spending of the publlo money lately which haa not benefited the people as It should, he declared. Accompanying the railway presi dent wbo arrived In Medford on the Ssasta Saturday noon In his spsolal car, "Sunset," was Herbert Flelshhaker, San Francisco capitalist, They are spending today at the Frank O. Noyes lodge on Rogue river, and will return to San Franclaco this evening. When the subject of his fishing trip was mentioned, Mr. Shoup said he had not angled the Rogue ' since the fall of 1908. but at that time the fish were active and co-operative. He hopes for some Improvement In the situation. Although making aeveral trips to Medford In recent years, he haa never stopped long enough for a fishing trip. Mr, Flelshhaker, anxious to get to his fishing, only made the oomment that If business conditions do not Improve soon, he plans to take up football for a living. . 4 L OF COUNTY 9,908 E OF 212 Budget Estimate For Com- ing Year Placed at $58, 000 With No Allowance For Bus Transportation TRUCTI E WILL BE SOUGHT Means for presenting to the state highway oommlsslon at the meeting In Portland, October 8, the Immediate need for relocating and reconstruct ing the Paclfle highway through the Slsklyous will be discussed tomorrow morning at a meeting In Grants Pass.

TO WAIT REPORT FEDERAL SURVEY David Rosenberg, president of the board of directors of the Medford Irrigation district, favors postpone ment of any action by water users until the result of the federal sur vey, now under way, is completed Water users hsve signed petitions urging aotlon at the annual meeting Tuesday. There has been splendid cooper ation and harmony thus far." said Mr. Rosenberg, "with the bondhold ers representatives. The farmers and orchard tsu In our dlstrlol have met severe reverses, making It obviously Impossible to pay tbs full amount per acre necessary to meet all charges. A careful analysis of the situation la being made by those qualified to make such Investiga tions, In order to find out Just what would be a fair Irrigation tax per acre to pay under our conditions. "Upon completion of this work, we will sll be In a better position to determine what our future tax should be. In the meantime, we know that all concerned fully ap preciate that a substantia reduction Is neceeasry In order to make our district Into healthy successful go ing business concern." According to figures submitted by the county school superintendent to the county clerk, for the purpose of fixing school taxes for the coming year, there are 6053 boys and 4850 girls, an Increase of .313 over last year, registered In the public schools of Jackson county.

Each pupil, under the state law, requires a 10c levy for library fund. and a sio assessment per pupil, and a 6100 bonus of each of the 73 school districts with a 160-day school term.

The coming court term will also be notable In that It Is the first for many years that the veteran late Judges Wolverton or R. S. Bean have not presided over.
