Manager C. R. Ray went to San Francisco

Construction Engineer J. D. Alsop is in
the east, where he will be met by the
president of the cotn|>any later to perfect

The darn of the Condor company and
diversion canal is on a scale cajutble of
utilizing the entire Rogue river, but
when the work was first finished Manager
Ray put in turbines to generate but <100
horse power. Only a short time was re­
quired to contract for this output in the
light mg of adjacent towns and and fur­
nishing power. The Opp has contracted
for sufficient (xiwcr to run a l()-stauip
mill, ami it is rumored that the Abbie J.
Champlin dredger, having a steam plant
of 210 lior»c[>ower, will probably use
electricity. Contracts have Ix-en made
for lighting Medford, ami it is believed
that the Jacksonville council will buy
(lower for lights. Pole lines are project­
ed for Ashland ami Grants Pass. Con­
tracts have been entered into for several
smaller enterprises, and some farmers are
said to have arranged for electric power
to do pumping in their irrigation work.
This is die particular field that Manager
Ray intends to develop.
When the enlargement of the plant is
completed it w ill be capable of furnishing
from l.fMMl to 2,000 horse power. The
river at this (aunt, it is estimated, can
furnish K.tNM) to 10 (MM) horse power in the

Ihc Kentuckidn’s Woes.
Man born in the wilds of Kentucky is
of feud days and easy virtue. He fish-
eth, fiddleth, cusseth ami tighteth all the
days of his life.
When he desireth to raise hell he
plantetli a neighlmr. and, lo, he reapeth
20 fold.
He riseth even from the cradle to seek
the scalp of his grandsire's enemy and
bringeth home in his carcass the ammu­
nition of his neighbor's wife's cousin's
uncle’s father-in-law who avengeth the
deed.
Yes, verily, his life is uncertain, ami
he knoweth not the hour when he may
be jerked hence.
He goetli forth on a journey half-shot
and cometh back on a shutter, shot.
He riseth in the night to let the cat
out, ami it taketh nine doctor thiee
days to pick the buckshot from his per­
son.
He goetli forth in joy and gladness and
cometh back in scraps and fragments.
He calleth his fellow-man a liar and
getteth himself filled with scrap iron
even to the fourth generation.
A cyclone bloweth him into the bosom
of his neighbor’s wife, ami his neighbor's
wife's husband bloweth him into the
Ixisotn of Father Abraham before he hath
time to explain.
He eniptieth a demijohn into himself
and a shotgun into his enemy; and his
enemy's son lieth in wait on election day
ami lo, the coronor bloweth up a 40 acre
field to bury that man.
Woe, woe is Kentucky, for her eyes
are red with bad whisky, ami her soil is
