THE MEDFORD BRIDGE.

The Medford papers persistently
insist that the opposition ofMr Bow
ers and associates to the MedfOrd
bridge project is a scheme of Ash
land against Medford. That claim is
pure buncombe and Medford political
tricksters and press are well aware
of it. 1t is being used in an attempt
to cement the Medford vote against
George Dunn because he lives in this
end of the county. 1t is used by the
Medford gang to defeat Dunn be-
cause it knows it cannot exist as a
gang without refreshments" and
that when Mr.. Dunn enters the
county judges office there will be no
more refreshments" There will
need to be a dollar in value given
for each dollar extracted from the
Jackson county treasury under Dunn.
That is exactly what the gang does
not want. 1t has reveled in green
and juicy pastures during the past
four years and it knows that the cleo
tion of Dunn means the drying up of
its succulent portion. Doesn't it
beat the band how hard these graft
ers fight when they feel their meat
platter slipping?
But how about engendering these
bitter sectional animosities in order
to accomplish it?
Every move the Medford press
makes along these lines but widens
the breach. 1t is the fault of the
Medford press, not the citizens of
Jackson county, If such high animos-
ity is engendered as will result in
the destruction of the prosperity and
development of that city.
That gang cares not for the future
of Medford. The fight is a personal
one. 1t is the CRATER gang, backed
by the Medford press, that is fight
ing. The individuals composing that
gang are after the cash, no matter
who is destroyed in its pursuit. Be
not deceived 1t is not the new
bridge this gang fights for. 1t sim
ply uses that as a means to an en-
tirely different end. If the bridge
can be used as the instrument
through which the gang can again
land at the crib, by fooling the peo-
pie of Medford to the extent of ar
raging them solidly against Mr.. Dunn
at the fall election, the purpose has
been accomplished whether the
bridge is ever built or no.

ience, economy and purity. Brown
hands, clean tongues and hearts are
in great demand in the city. A coun-
try loafer becomes a city loafer, and
neither country or city has use for
either. The earthquake never breaks
the ground so as to heave gold at
their feet. Boys who present noble
and manly lives for recommendations
may win anywhere. In the city you
must begin way down, but if you
smilingly submit to the inevitable
and make each day tell how much,
rather than how little, good work
you can do, you will be on the line
of promotion and in time may rise,
but think not the way is strewed with
heartsease and roses. All, there is
many bitter pang and sharp thorn
that will pierce you, but if you dare
to grapplpe with them you may even
win in the great city.

The Anderson ditch miXup would
seem to indicate that what Ashland
has needed for long time is COM
petent city attorney. Such is not
only good business but an economy.
If there was a question as to the title
of the Anderson ditch it should have
been settled in the courts before the
city paid $4,000 for it, A little while
ago the city passed a resolution to
through it to parties outside the city
at 20 cents per acre. AS soon as
the ditch was obstructed by those
claiming title to it, those who would
benefit by buying water from the
city Immediately rendered the city
payment of the 25 cents per acre as
provided. That put the recorder in
the hole, If he accepted the tender
and the city was unable to deliver
the water the city would be liable for
damages, and he could only refuse
the tender by violating the order of
the council. He very properly chose
to do the latter and refused the ten
der. All such matters should be
passed upon by a competent lawyer
before the city acts. Much money
and worry would be saved the coun-
ell by such action.

WHAT is a BANK DEPOSIT?

The deposits in the banks are six
teen billion dollars.
The money in the banks amounts
to one and a half billion dollars;
the money outside the banks. two
billion-three and a half billion of
money in the whole country.
= Bank deposits, then, are more than
ten times as large as the banks
money holdings; they are nearly five
times as large as the total stock of
money in the country.
For every dollar the banks owe
their depositors they have less than
dime in money.
Bank deposits are not money.
What, then, is a bank deposit?
Only one dollar in twenty of the
deposits the banks receive every day
(they run about billion a day. are
in money. All the rest are in the
form of orders or promises to pay
money.
If you go to your bank and borrow
1000 the bank credits you with
$1,000 on list books. This is a de-
post. If you draw a check against
this deposit for $1,000 to pay the
mortgage on your home, the man
who gets your check puts it in his
hanly Tbic ic
If you are a manufacturer, YOU get
from a customer, in payment for
goods, his written promise to pay
you the amount in ninety days. You
put this note in your bank, which
credits you with the amount less in
terest, This is a deposit. Or, YOU
draw an order on your customer to
pay you the amount in ninety DAYS:
he accepts" the draft; you put it in
your bank. This is a deposit.
In such ways the great bulk Of
bank deposits arise. Modern busi-
ness makes actual money of less and
less Importance in the exchange of
goods between producers and con-
sumers.
Nine-tenths of all our business is
now done with bank credit.
No bank is ever in a position to
pay any large number of it's deposit
ors on demand cash in full. But
/
system has its resources in such form
that it can obtain cash on short no.
tice to meet the extraordinary de-
mands of it's depositors.
Every great commercial nation,
with the exception of the United
States, has provided a means where
by sound banks can always convert
prime assets into currency.

Volcanoes Still Active.

Cordova, Alaska.-Mount Kataai
is still in violent eruption and it is
believed that Mounts Redoubt and
Hanna and other volcanes in the
chain are also busy.
The steamship Sampson brought
the news that Seldova is safe. Mea-
gre information from the revenue
cutter Manning to the mail boat Dora
is that the Kodiak settlement nas
also escaped damage. There is no
news from other fishing or Indian
villages. The Manning is having
much trouble with its wireless and
cannot hear frcm the Kodiak station

The first essential of success is in
tegrity; a character that stands firm
against both the music and the men
ace of Mammon. The second essen
tial is knowledge. born of earnest
and close application, a knowledge
that comes from observing experi-
ence, a knowledge that knows it
knows. The third essential, though
no less important, is enthusiasm: ::
that enthusiasm which knows no fail
ure, recognizes no repulses, and is
blind to obstacles.

The water fountain in the plaza is
a splendid monument to those who
provided it, as well as a valuable
and convenient utility to the city.
Lately the water through it has been
of uneven flow, resulting in leakage
and causing and unwholesome and
unsightly condition to prevail about
it. AS it was generously provided
free to the city, interest enoug.,
should be taken in it by those in
authority to keep it in perfect run
ming order. 1t should be somebody's
business to do that, every day in the
year, to the end that its purpose may
be fulfilled as both an ornament to
the plaza and convenience to the
citizens.

Death in Gasoline.

In the United States the igniting
of, the vapor of gasoline burns to
death more than twenty persons
every week and dangerously burns
more than sixty. No hour passes
without a house being set afire by a
gasoline explosion.
Gasoline, the Hghtest and most
dangerous fluid derived from petro-
leum, continually gives off vapor that
makes an explosive of the air with
which it mixes.
A canful Of air or roomful OF air
which mixes in It as much as one
twelfth of the vapor of gasoline, IS
more dangerous than a canful or
roomful of gunpowder. Air with
that much or more gasoline vapor IN
it explodes harder and makes a hot
ter blaze than gunpowder.
Gunpowder will stay where 1t IS
put and can be seen. Gasoline va
por, being a little heavier than air.
falls to the floor and cannot be seen.
If painful of gasoline is left in a
closed room for few hours the
house is blown to pieces as soon as
a match is struck in the room or II
a flying spark enters it.
When vapor on the floor spreads
until it gets under a gas jet or lamp
or stoye, it is then drawn up by the
current of air made by the heat OF
the blaze and there is an explosion.
All other ignitable gases being light
er than air rise and are borne away
on the winds.
One who uses gasoline for any
purpose in a room in which there IS
a candle, lamp, fire or spark of tre
of any sort is likely to be badly
burned. A lighted cigar or pipe car
ried into a room in which it is being
used will explode the air. The ghost
like vapor will hunt for something
to ignite it.
A beautiful girl of fifteen cleaned
her long kid gloves on a porch and
had them on her hands drying. Her
brother, as he left the house, struck
a match to light cigar. In the ex-
plosion which followed one of her
arms was so deeply burned that she
can never straighten it and her face
is disfgured for life. .
A man who had pipe in his
mouth while pouring gasoline from
one can to another was badly burned
by an explosion.

TRUE BILL" AGAINST BEACH.
Aiken Grand Jury Acts in Sensational
Case-Tried in Fall.

Aiken, June 4.-The case of Fred
erick o. Beach, indicted here for as
sault and battery with intent to kill,
which offence he is alleged to have
perpetrated upon his wife by cutting
her throat at their winter home here
last February, was given by Solicitor
R. L. Gunter into the hands of the
grand jury at 1910 o'clock to-day.
NJ. S. Baughn, the Atlanta special
agent whose work eliminated in the
issuance of a warrant for the promi-
nent member of New York's 400,
did not arrive in the city in time to
appear before the grand jury, but the
negro laundress, Pearl Hampton, al
so H. H. Howard, H. E. Gyles, A. K
Lorenz, H. A. Busch, DR.. Hastings
Wyman, Jr., DR.. Marion H. Wyman
and S. E. Holly were sent before that
body for examination.
Owing to the absence of Special
Agent Baughn, Solicitor Gunter in.
structed the grand jury that if they
could not, on the evidence which they
would have placed before them, fnd
a true bill, they should return the bill
"unreported," but after examining
witnesses for something over foul
hours they returned at 4:25 p. m. &
true bill against Frederick o. Beact
for assault and battery with intent
to kill. The case will be tried at the
fall term of court.
The charges against Beach resulted
from a mysterious attack on Mrs
Beach on the night of February q
last, in which her throat was slashec
with knife.
At the time of the alleged assault
it was stated that Mrs. Beach was at
tackled by an unknown negro, wh(
had come to the Beach home with
note for a servant. Rewards wer;
offered for the apprehension of tht
supposed negro assailant. Investiga
ton by local authorities resulted II
the issuance of a warrant for the ar
rest of Mr.. Beach. At the time thu
warrant was issued Mr.. and Mrs
Beach were in Europe, but bonds
for his appearance were given b!
friends here.
