LAND OWNERS SHOULD UTILIZE
WATER.

that part of the valley refuse to
utilize the water provided for irri-
cation and has this to say.
1T is a demonstrated fact that an
irrigated orchard can be depended
upon for yearly crop regardless of
weather conditions; that irrigation
Is form OF crop insurance, yet but
few orchardists use the water that
flows past their groves.
1T is known that with water
truck and market gardening is sue
cessful, potatoes and other produce
can be grown at large profit in
the valley, yet there are thousands
OF acres of suitable land under
water, untitled and uncultivated.
Kuhn Brothers, who built the
Twin Falls, Idaho, irrigation project
and huge irrigation systems in Cali
fornia, several years ago offered to
spend several million dollars In con-
structing an irrigation system for
both sides OF the valley, providing
small percentage of land owners
would sign agreements to purchase
water-but two months work re-
suited In only a few signatures to
water contracts, and the project was
abandoned.
"The Rogue River Canal company
Is spending over a million dollars in
extending its irrigating system, but
though the water has flowed for
years, there are comparatively few
users and the company has been
obliged to plant and sell It's own
land In order to find a market for It's
water. Its projected canals cover
almost the entire valley, but unless
the land owners will agree to use
the water It would be waste of
money to construct the canals.
at is nonsense to talk about coun-
ty constructed irrigating systems
when privately built enterprises can
not secure customers. II the water
already wasted from present systems
was utilized, thousands OF acres
would be in cultivation, and with
market for the water there would
be a rapid extension of systems to
All the demand.
Water means work, and great
many of our orchardists and farmers
don't want work. They are altogeth-
or too many speculative and not en-
ough productive tillers Of the soil In
the Rogue River valley. Utilization
Of present water resources will dou-
BILE the labor and thribble the pro-
ductive output Of the land. 1t Will
work a transformation In the valley
and prosperity will follow.
Every acre of Idle land can be
utilized at profit with water, but
there Is little effort apparent to use
either water or land along many oil
the irrigating canals already con-
structed. Land owners must come
out of the speculative dream OF
holding for an unearned profit and
come down to making land and
water earn real profit
The Mail-Trbune grasps the sltu-
alton and should command the at
tention Of the real farmer OF the
country and for that matter the spec
ulator who for decency's sake
should be willing to do something
TO help out his investments. IL Is
now turning out that the land spec
ulator is public enemy and It Is TO
be hoped that he will see the error
OF his ways In the very near future

is DECLARED A MONOPOLY
Standard Oil Ordered To Dissolve by
Supreme Court

Washington, May 15.-The Stan
dard oil company of New Jersey anC
its 10 subsidiary corporations were
declared today by the supreme court
of the United States to be a con-
spiracy and combination in restraint
of trade. 1t also was held to be
monopolizing interstate commerce
in violation of the Sherman anti
trust law. The dissolution of the
combination was ordered to take
place within six months.
At the same time the court in
terpreted the Sherman antitrust
law so as to limit it's application to
acts of undue" restraint of trade
and not every" restraint of trade.
The supreme court holds: That
the Standard Oil company is mono
poly in restraint of trade. That this
giant corporation must be dissolved
within six months. Corporations
whose contracts are mot unreason-
ably restrictive of competition" are
not affected Other great corpora
tons whose acts may be called into
question win be dealt with accord
ing to the merits of their particu-
lar cases.
The court was unanimous as to
the main feature of the decision.

Novelties Designed For
Comfort of Travellers

Many novelties have been devised this
season to add to the comfort and lux
ury Of travellers. These pertain To
toilet accessories, and there have also
been many clever inventions that ut-
terially tighten the burden Of packing.
The new wardrobe trunks are smaller
and have many new improvements, and
their price, which has become more rea-
sonable, has put them within the reach
of greater number of people
A light case has been made which
somewhat resembles the well-known
dress suit case 1t has a black enam-
eled covering and straps, with leather
bindings and corners, and Inside IL Is
roomy and convenient (being ten inches
deep. and has a separate, movable
tray. 1t costs from five to eight dollars
and may take the place OF a steamer
trunk and Is most convenient for trav-
cling abroad, as it is light enough to
carry.
Another travelling convenience In an
automobile pouch, which is roll made
Of canvas or automobile cloth, with
yachette straps. A fiat case made of
canvas Is also shown, which is large
enough to hold a number of umbrellas.
canes, and parasols. This has straps
which can be attached to the suit case

sary requisite to a travelling outfit, and
they are now covered with bright COL
ored flannel and are compact enough to
