Borden Confident.
II am confident that on September
21 the electors OF Canada will cast
thVr votes against the ratification OF
reciprocity" declared Opposition Lead
er Borden at Charlottetown, on Fri.
day. Mr.. Borden has spoken at the
principal centers of Canada and has
had large and enthusiastic audiences.
All the leading speakers OF both
parties have attracted unusually large
audiences. The size of the gatherings
In the midst Of harvesting season is
taken as evidence that Canadians are
thoroughly interested In the question
OF reciprocity.
Government campaigrers are seeking
TO keep the financial aspect OF reci-
procity to the front and their CAM
paign has been directed principally
toward educating the Canadian farmer
and fishermen to the great mutual
benefit which Is claimed they Will get
from free access to the American
market. The liberals have secuted as
absurd the contention OF conservatives
away from England to the United
States.
Conservative Arguments.
The conservative campaigners have
largely confined themselves to the
sentimental side. The British flag, the
maintenance OF British connection un-
weakened and protests against closer
relations with the United States, form
the basis OF conservative speeches to-
day. President Taft. Champ Clark. ].
J. Hill and others are quoted daily
from conservative platforms to show
that annexation Of Canada IL the ul-
terror motive OF the American people
In agreeing to reciprocity.
The government had majority OF
45 members when parliament was dis.
solved. The belief of many il that
each side Will come back from tho
polls with about the same following
as at present.
There is little betting. but o few
wagers have been made that the gov
ernment will return with 80 majority.
No odds are being quoted for the de-
feat of the government. Both parties

tion money. but there is no evidence

Liberals Claim West.

Winnipeg. Man, Sept. 10.-With
polling day on the reciprocity issue
only 10 days off, the liberals now
claim an easy victory In the west. In
view of the many conservatives who
have announced their intention to sup.
port the Laurier government, Premier
Robin of Manitoba declared last week
that conservatives who conscientiousiy
intend to vote for reciprocity win not
in so doing be voting against their
party principles. Premier Robin has
borne the brunt OF the anti reciprocity
campaign since II opened.
Those opposed to the pact have con-
fined themselves to showing that un.
der reciprocity Canada will lose her
independence, her loyalty to Great
Britain Will be weakened and anneva-
tlon to the United States will be en-.
couraged, Canada, they claim. will be
the dumping ground OF the United
States natural products In season that
are disastrous TO home- grown prod
ucts.
The liberals ridlcuie the theory that
Canada will absorb United States
ideals of government through her
growth In trade In that country.
The market growers still offer a
united front to reciprocity and 1t il

FOOT BRIDGE OVER
RIVER BEING BUILT

Work has been started upon the
construction of foot bridge across
the Umatilla river at Main street for
the accommodation or pedestrians
during the completion OF the new
bridge which the Coast Bridge COM
pany is now building. Although the
old structure will not be torn down
until the beams for the new one are
in place, which will probably be the
latter part of this month or the first
of next. the foot bridge is being con-
structed this early to prevent any
danger to pedestrians during the plac-
ing of the beams.
When the old bridge is torn out,
wagon traffic will be stopped for al
least forty days, according to Coun-
Gilman Stroble of the street commit
tee, and he suggests that it would be
advisable for persons living on the
north side who contemplate any
heavy hauling such as that Of fuel, to
do SO at once as transfer companies
will very likely make additiona
charges for hauling via the Lee street
bridge or by the runway which vii
probably be constructed In the west
end Of the city.
Negotiations are now under way
with the Roundup association tc
secure the privilege of constructing
this runway across the river from the
upper end Of the park.

Though the day mas been hot, one

that following the weekly IunSheon

ing with overhead wires, which is
published IN Iuu elsewhere, the club

A communicatin from the Medford
Commercial club asking the local

on the table. While endorsing the
good roads move the managers were
ayerse TO the idea of special session

Guardianship Contest Continued.

The fight to obtain the guardian
ship of Mary Jane Swash, the thir-
teen-year-old heiress, between her
aunt, Mrs. Viola Anders of Portland,
and her uncle and step-father Will
liam Swash of this county, has been
adjourned after two days of testi-
mony until certain dispositions can
be taken. Mr. Swash is endeavoring
to prove that Mrs. Anders was not
a resident of the state at the time OF
the death of her sister but only ac-
quired residence afterwards in order
to establish Jurisdiction. From the
testimony introduced, it seems thai
the girl is heiress to a $4,000 estate
instead of a $4,000 estate as first re.
ported.

nov Property Is ASSESSED.


The task of assessing each lot and
marcel of lot in the districts is COM
plicated and tedious one. In his re-
mort Engineer Kimbrell explains the
system which he used. According TO
this report. "the total cost of the inn
provements is so proportioned among
all of the property owners located in
the district that each lot or portion OF
lot will pay the same percentage OF
the total expense of Improvement as
each other lot or portion of lot OF
equal area and similarly located. each
lot paying in direct proportion to its
area and in graduated proportion TO
the distance from the street to be i'm
proved"
"The greatest distance from the
street to be improved to the bound
aries of the assessment district is di-
vided into four parts the depth OF
/ each of the said parts being the same
/ in all cases. The ratio of the assess
ment charged to each of the said
parts is to each other as the follow
ing numbers, respectively, so, 25 10

| assessed from the corner each way IN
like proportion of so, 25, Is and II
and the cost of the curb in each case
will be assessed to the first fifty fee
