THE HILL PARTY
ARRIVED SUNDAY
A WORKING FORCE GOES TO
RANCH ON MONDAY
FARMING ON LARGE SCALE
Improvements to BE Made on the
Farm at the Mouth Of Apple
gate River.


mouth of the Applegate, arrived in
Grants Pass on Sunday last from
Huntingdon, Penn, bringing with
him from Pennsylvania eleven per-
sons, nine men and two women. All
of these people will live at the ranch.
On Monday the entire party went out
to the place and on arriving there
active operations were commenced
Mr.. Hill has employed A. P. Mershon,
Pennsylvania farmer of large ex-
perience, to take charge of farming
operations. He also brought with
him Mr.. Brattan, landscape gar
dener, who will look after the work
of gardening and laying out plans
for grading the property so as to
be able to cover large areas with
water from the irrigating bitches.
1t is Mr.. Hills purpose to put
considerable share of the ranch
this season into grain and forage
crops and later get the land ready
to plant to fruit. He will put out
apples, pears and peaches. The cul-
tivation this season will be on an
extensive scale, so as to put the soil
In proper condition for orchard pur-
poses. Later on building operations
will be. commenced to provide homes
for all the people connected with the
enterprise. Plans for the buildings
have not yet been completed, but 1t
is expected that several bungalows
will be put up, likewise a number of
barns and outhouses. We learn that
Mr.. Hill expects to return to Penn
sylvania about the goth of March on
a business trip, coming back later.
Mr.. Hill has undertaken a great
work In this county and the general
opinion seems to be that he has the
technical knowledge and ability to
carry 1t forward to success. He has
the good wishes of everybody in his
operations, as his success will mean
much to agriculture and fruit grow
ing in the Rogue River valley. It
will be remembered an. article was
published in these columns some
weeks ago taken from Pennsylvania
paper urging Mr.. Hill as a candidate
In his district for congress. We now
learn that he has decided not to med
die with politics but devote himself
strictly to business, which will be a
good thing for his farming and fruit
venture in this county. Later, should
he care to go to congress, the people
OF this congressional district will be
glad to send him, for he possesses
many qualifications which would
make him successful member OF
our national legislature

PLANT ROSES.

Have you ever read the story
OF the king and the blue flower,
Which transformed his land and
people
By Its sweet and subtle power?
So let Grants Pass think of roses,
plant rose bushes far and wide,
Talk of roses, dream Of roses,
Bid them bloom on every side!
lnen their beauty and their fra
grance
Will shed sweetness all around,
And the praises of the city
Through the whole land will re-
sound.
Even those of sordid nature,
Worshiping the dollar sign,
VIII discover in the roses
Wealth like that of richest mine
Land will boom in town and country,
Every tourist In the West
Will stop off to see the city
All in lovely roses dressed.
Then there will be throngs Of buyers,
Settlers will come thick and fast,
And prosperity's bright era
Will be ushered in at last.
And the children reared mid roses
OF their sweetness will partake,
And this dear old town Of Grants
Pass
Soon a heaven on earth will make.

There Is Something Wrong.

There Is something wrong in the
matter OF handling diphtheria cases
in this city. Just who is to blame II
seems past finding out. Every case
is quarantined and after the disease
Is over the premises are fumigated
and the diphtherla stamped out, but
In a day or two another case appears
and thus the matter goes on and like
the poor we have some OF these cases
always with us. The mayor. who
fortunately IL n physician. and at
the same time president Of the school
board. must be called on to look into
this matter with more than ordinary
care. He has the power. the ability
and he must OF necessity have the
desire to get rid OF the disease once
for all.

SOUTH NORWALK'S RECOUNT BEGINS
 IN COURT TODAY
Vote May Change Result of E:lection-Would Give Re- publicans Chance to De- feat Will of People.

Circumstances which had been un- looked for have thrown South Nor walk into 8 boiling political sea. On the face of the elections all was tran quill the Democrats would have a majority in the city's council of six, and they also elected a Democratic mayor But the hand of God brought about a change. Mayor Leemon M. Brundage, former Bridgeporter, af- ter being returned to office. passed away. Tricky Republican workers saw a chance to bring about a dead lock in the council so that a Repub- lcan mayor could be elected.
 When the returns were made out it showed that Daniel F. Toomey. the had been elected over Charles A. Quintard, the Republican candidate, by one vote, the ballot standing 533 to 532 At that election there were A ballots rejected by the moderator be- cause of various infarctions of the law. One of those ballots thrown Quintard's way would make him tie with Tooney. Two would defeat his man, put him in the council chamber and make that body a deadlock with three Democrats and three RepubH- cans. With the four Democrats and two Republicans in the council, that body could go ahead and naturally elect Democratic president, who mayor of the city. His successor the body would chose from the Democra- tic citizens of the city. If, however, Quintard would get recount there would be a possible chance of his de feating Toomey, and making the board to 3. They never could agree on a president, and the probabilities would be that the city would have to order another election for the head of the city. The Republicans saw the chance and petitioned the Superior Court for the recount, citing that the If ballots had been rejected by the moderators and that thirty of them were for ouintard.
 The petition came before Judge Will liam H. Williams this morning, who after sitting for more than two hours hearing the evidence and the argu- ments of the counsel for both sides ordered the re-opening of the ballot boxes. When the evidence had been given Attorney John J. Walsh, coun- seI for Toomey made motion for the throwing out of the petition as the plaintiff had no case. The motion was overru1ed, and the recount start ed.
 A point was raised during the pro ceedings that the box containing the votes could have easily been tempered with while laying in the town clerks offices in NorwaK. It was evident

had dumped $25. 100000 into Wall St. to save the money powers of the coun- try instead of using the money to aid manufacturers who employed labor di- rect.
 MT Chandler replied that putting the money into Wall street started the wheels of finance moving and made it possible for the employers to eventually get money to operate it's plants He did not attempt to tell how the Republican party fostered the trusts and the stand pat policy of the party who produced the panic.
 There was the same lack of inter- est demonstrated on the part of the bulk of the workingmen as has been shown at all of the noon day rallies where MT. Chandler has told the vot- CTS that the Republican Worl<ingman's Compensation Act is to be as good a one as that of the Democratic party. and that Cousin Charlie" Goodwin's heart beats warm for the man in the overalls. MT. Chandler was introduc- ed to the gathering by J. A. H. Rob- inson, candidate for Senator in the 23rd district. Last Monday a few blocks down the street it was neces- sary for MT. Chandler to introduce MT. Robinson in his own district.

that the box was sealed, and that bal lots slightly folded could be inserted.
 When the box was opened all were satisfied that no ballots had been slipped in as they were all filed away in the box in folds and in wrappers. The recount of the 1,169 ballots cast will take up the full afternoon, after which the disputed ballots will be sub
 mitted to the court for decision.
 Moderator John H. Hoyt. Republi- can, and assistant moderator, D. Fen ton Pomeroy, were called as witnesses. MT. Hoyt declered that if the rulings of the law as he saw it were carried out, Toomey was elected. MT. Pom eroy stated that there were but A bal lots rejected out of the 1,169 cast. Over forty-three of those ballots there was no dispute between himself and the moderator There were but three ballots over which the two moderators differed between themselves. MT. Hoyt as the moderator, allowed two of these ballots and rejected the other. The two admitted were Republican ballots and the one rejected was for the Democrats.

I Judge Baldwin in his work on 1 American Railroad Law, published ! in 1904 discussed the adoption of a private compensation measure by the | railroads, in the absence of a, public l law on the subject, to provide for the victims of the hazards of the rail- | ploye to contribute to the accumula- 1 ton of the compensation fund, and on page 34 of said work Judge Bald win used this language. 'It may be l a condition of their employment that I they shall contribute to such fund and also that in case of accident if I they resort to it, they cannot also look to the company. It could not be made a condition that they should look only to the fund and waive any right of action against the com pany.''
 This is almost exactly the condi- ton existing today in England under which is so highly commended on all sides. A workman can look to this act for compensation or he can look to his common law rights and bring an action against the company for injuries received.
 The following is the way Col. Roosevelt states the law ought to be '1 hold that the State has absolutely the right to enact laws refusing to permit any. man directly or indirect ly, by any action of his own, to estop himself from his right to have a rail- road or other corporation forced to compensate him for any injury done to him in the performance of his duty''
 Referring to the foregoing quota ton from Judge Baldwin'S work, 1t will be seen. that what Col. Rooseve cit says the law ought to be, and what Judge Baldwin said the law was, are identical. whether the ex-president failed to accurately inform himself in regard to the language used by Judge Baldwin, or deliberately intended tc give wide publicity to n1iseonstruc- ton of Judge Ba1dwin's language, the result can only be eventually to the advantage of the Democratic can- didate for Governor of Connecticut. A man of his standing cannot be reckIess1yt and unjustly attacked with out having friends drawn to him be- cause of such attacks, and if a man of Theodore Roosev velt's enin ence will nnisrepresent Judge Baldwin, what reliance can be placed upon the ed ennissaries of the Republican party who have undertaken to educate the thousands of operatives in the fac- tories of Bridgeport as to the attitude of Judge Baldwin toward the rem edial legislation which they so much desire, should it not be sufficient for
 to wnow that the Republican party has had uninterrupted control of the legislative machinery of the state for the past sixteen years dur ing which time none of these meas ures for the benefit of the working man has been written into our laws.

FATAL AIRSHIP
 ACCIDENT TO 7
 ARMY OFFICER
Italian Lieutenant Instantly Killed While Flaming to
 Ground Today
Fourth Death of Aviators This Week-Thirty Fla
 talities in Two Years
Especial from United Press.)

Rome, Oct. <27-Another fatal aero plane accident occurred today on the military grounds at Centose1le, when lieutenant sagliette's machine feli while he was blaming to the grounds, instantly killing the lieutenant. Those who saw the accident could give no cause for it. The machine was glid- ing beautifully to the earth when it suddenly tipped violently. Sagliette made a desperate effort to right the aerop1ane but clutched aat the levers in vain.
 Sagliette's death makes the fourth aeroplane fatality in the last week, the greatest number yet claimed in this length of time. One last Sunday, Captain Madiot a French military aviator, was killed in a practice flight in the aerodome at Druai. On Tues day, Lieutenant Menthe fell in a wright biplane while blaming to the earth at Magdeburg, Germany Yes terday Fernand Blanchard fell 150 feet in attempting to alight as Issy, after a flight from Bourges, and was in stantly killed.
 Thus far these have been, in all, 30 deaths in aeroplane accidents, since Lieutenant Thomas E. Selfridge. the first victim of this sport, was killed at Fort Myer, Va, September IT, 1908, in a Wright machine.

To the Editor of the Farmer:
 Sir-As pertinent to the present con troversy between Judge Baldwin and ex-President Roosevelt, I would like to call public attention to the fact that as early as 189S and eight years be- fore MT. Roosevelt, as President of the United States, publicly advocated a workmen's compensation act, Judge Baldwin, as a member of the Supreme court of Connecticut, concurring in an opinion written by Judge Hamersley in the case of Nolan vs. The New York, New Haven & Hartford Rail road Company, 70 Conn. 194, in which case I was counsel for the plaintiff, advised that legislation be enacted to remedy the present unjust law goV57 erning the relations of employer and employe in case of an injury resulting from the employment.
 The language employed by the court. of which Judge Baldwin was a mem Der, is in part as follows: -11he rule (of co-emp1oye) is one deduced by pro cess of analogy from decisions rem dered under a. state of society very different from that of today, and fur ther on referring to an opinion ren- dered by Chief Justice Shaw, of Mass Boston W. R. Corp. 4 Metc. 49, in which this rule was stated by the Massachusetts court, our Connecticut Supreme court used this language:
 
 nent, however appropriate it may have been at that time, has a touch of grim irony when read in the light of existing conditions in the employment
 In England in 1880. the rule was changed by the Employers Liability Act and is now practically abolished as to large classes of worknaen by the Workmen's Compensation Act passed during the year 1897. And further on the court, Judge Baldwin concurring,
 'HThe evil is too deep seated to be remedied by judicial action. It needs radical treatment through wise legfs- lation."
 The Democratic party. before and ever since, has been endeavoring to have this legislation, advised by the court, enacted.
 In 1907, representing the labor inter ests of this city, I appeared before committee of the Legislature to ad- vocate the enactment of a Workmen's Compensation Act. Nothing was done by that session of the Legislature, ex- cept to continue the committee to con- slider the matter for two years longer, and at the last session of the Legis- lature the bill reported by that com 1nittee was defeated in the State Sen ate by one vote, one of our Repub1i- can Senators from Bridgeport absent ing himself from the Senate while the matter was pending, which vote would have saved the measure.
