SECOND POWER PLANT
FOR KLAMATH FALLS
Moore Bros. Enter Electric Light
Field Getting Water From
Govern ment.

G. S. & R. S. Moore are promoting
large power plant for Klamath
Falls, the plant to be in operation
within one year. Moore Bros. have
secured fro the Government 1000
inches OF water from the Keno Canal,
the same to be delivered by October
/, 1907. They own suitable sites
along Link River, where they are
already operating two large sawmills.
The buildings for the plant will be
erected during the coming season and
all necessary machinery will be
brought in during the Summer.
The power will be utilized in
operating sawmills, -four mills aud
other manufactures, besides for light
ing purposes.
The erection OF this power plant
will no doubt bring about excellent
service for that city, as there will
then be two competing companies
The new plant will also furnish
power for the electric street railway,
which will be in operation within one
year. Most of the track is already
laid and cars have been ordered

The fruit growers of Jackson

doing more extensive and thorough

though a large number OF peach trees
and some cherries are being planted.
The terrific ravsges that the blight is
making in the pear orchards in the
East and in California and the highly
profitable prices that Jackson county
growers have received for the past five
years has given a great impetus to
pear planting AID Mr. Perry thought
that their county would within few
years be the banner pear growing
county of the United States. The
record price for this year was 50, 429
for car OF Comice pear grown in
Hon. j W. Perkins Hill Crest or

pear was s310 box. The Medford
grower put none but the very best

ticular in the packing of their apples
and their apple orchards are fully as
profitable as are the pears. The price
for Newtons and Spitzenbergs run
from 81 to SO a box. As result of
the big profit in orchards fruit land
in Jackson county has doubled within
the past two years, and Mr.. Perry
stated that good cleared land was
selling readily for 5000 and over an
acre while brush land from which the
timber had been cut was selling
readily at 800 an acre.

ATTACKS HITCHCOCK.

Another statement from Washing
ton, telling us that Arch M. Hughes,
ousted postmaster at Columbia, Tenn
is malicious liar, is not beyond the
limits of possibilities. Mr. Hughes
has invited trouble by issuing strong
attack upon First Assistant Postmas-
ter General Hitchcock, Because of
the strong charges made by Mr..
Hughes, reply will probably be
looked for by the country Mt large.
Col. Arch M. Hughes says that
Hitchcock ousted him because he is
not in favor of third term for Presi-
dent Roosevelt. He declares that no
word of misconduct or wrong doing
or ineffciency has ever reached him,
but that after Ave years of faithful
service he has been removed because
he took Roosevelt at his word in be
lieving the president will not take
another nomination. Col. Hughes ac'
cuses Hitchcock of making trips
through the south at the governments
expense for the purpose of hunting
people to boom third term for Roose-
welt. He says that he was removed
when lot of down-and-out republic
ans of Tennessee told Hitchcock that
he was not for Roosevelt for third
term. Hughes Is reported to have told
Hitchcock this and Hitchcock Is SAID
to have replied, But these fellows
control the organization"
The statement that he has been re
moved for not wanting the president
for third term is strong one. Per
haps Mr.. Hitchcock will talk.

MEMORIAL DAY DUTY.

MhMOItlAL Ia ~ l.
It is At and proper that the Norfolk
city council should appropriate sum
with which to help defray expenses
of the forthcoming Memorial day SER
vices in this city. AS matter of
fact the people of every city, and not
the veteran soldiers who fought the
battles in '61, ought to bear the ex-
pense and do it gladly that is in
Cured in the proper observance of
this annual funereal day.
In years gone by Norfolk, like other
cities of America, has allowed the old
soldiers to take full charge with all
of the trouble and burden and worry
that accompanies such supervision, of
the annual Memorial day services.
The old soldiers have been allowed
to march out to the cemetery, prac-
tically alone, to decorate the graves
of the soldier dead with flowers that
bespeak the tribute of honor and es-
teen in which those departed veter-
ans are held. The balance of the
population has treated the occasion
with a degree of Indifference. appar.
emily entirely willing that the work
and energy of the day should be eX-
pended by the remaining veterans
many of whom are feeble, instead Of
by the younger and growing genera
tons.
Memorial day ought to be perpet-
uated. The war in which these heroes
| risked their lives and in which they
suffered all manner of privation, pre-
served this union and the stars and
stripes. 1t was bloody conflict but
a necessary one. In no way can this
nation ever repay to those brave men
the service which was performed. All
that we can do is to honor them for
their memories as the years roll by.
But unless the younger generation of
men and women, boys and girls, who
know only through stories handed
down to them from their ancestors of
the battles that were fought, will ex-
ert themselves each Memorial day in
honoring those who fought that fight,
then the day must lose its significance
as the old soldiers, one by one. an
swer the roll call of Father Time.
There remain but comparative
handful of the soldiers who went
through the civil war. They have
done praiseworthy work in maintain
ing the spirit of Memorial day as well
as they have. But they are growing
old and feeble, many of them, and it
becomes the duty of their children
and the children of other men who
did not go to war but whose interests
were protected by union blood, to take
up the spirit of this day and keep the
flame of patriotism burning brightly.
The decoration of graves on this
Memorial day should not be left to
old soldiers and the Woman's Relief
Corps alone. Children in the schools
and men and women everywhere
should assume responsibility in the
matter and do their share. 1t is a
duty that every man and every woman
owes to his country and to those who
preserved its union. And if the men
and women of the future are to dc
their duty in this regard, the children
of the present must be inspired with
the meaning and the patriotism OF
the occasion.
