BRANDE|S NOT LIKED
BY COURT MEMBERS
JUSTICES REMAIN SlLENT-ARE
KNOWN TO BE MUCH
CHAGRlNED.

There has been not the faintest
court since the New York World print
ed dispatch from Washington say
ing:
Competent observers know, as
clearly as IL their opinions were re-
duced to writing, that no nomination
for the United States supreme court
ever provoked so much CONSERVATION
and personal chagrin among its mem
bers as that of Mr.. Brandeis.
Cool Welcome.
His selection by the president was
announced on a night when two of the
justices of the court were guests with
the president and Mr.. Brandeis at q
dinner. The president, gratitied by the
acceptance by Mr.. Brandeis of the
nomination, made a few hours before,
presented him to his fellow guests
From gentleman who was at the din
ner the information is obtained that
the welcome extended to Mr.. Brandeis
by his expected associates left much
to be desired in the way cordiality."
Members Not Enthusiastic.
There is a wide and firm belief in
Washington that the Brandeis nomin-
alton does not meet with hearty or any
other form Of approval among the
justices of the supreme court. They
can not, Of course, voice their views
publicly; they can not be interviewed
But there are other ways than through
interviews Of ascertaining the opin-
ions of men on certain subjects, and it
is by other processes that the belief
has grown up that the Brsndels NOM
ination spread no joy among the eight
sitting justices on the supreme bench.
Justices Not Consulted.
1t seems to be fairly well established
that the president before nominating
Mr. Brandeis did not consult the mem
bers of the supreme court, although It
is usually the custom to do so, just as
1t is customary to sound foreign gov
eminent before nominating an am
bassador or minister. The president is
not, of course, required to consult the
judges of the supreme court when he
fills vacancy on the bench, but most |
presidents have extended that cour-
tesy and it is not long guess that no
president ever made an appointment |
that came so far from meeting the ap-
proval of the sitting members as did
President Wilson when he nominated
Mr. Brandeis.

LARGEST GATES.
Canadian Government Putting Them
in Locks of Welland Canal.
wall Street JournaD


The Canadian government is spend
ing a sum equal to double the cost of
the original Welland canal in recon
structing the waterway. The old
the new will have seven locks, each
800 feet in length. Each will have a
lift of 46h feet making a totdl lift OF
325 " feet in the length of the canal
The gates will be of the single leaf
pattern, only one gate being required
at each end of the lock. At Panama
the lock gates miter, two gates being
required at each end of the lock. The
Panama gates weigh $50 tons each.
The Welland canal gates-of struct-
ural steel-will weigh 1850 tons each.
They will not stand squarely across
the channel, but will slant into the
opposite wall, the length of the gate
of the canal. The lower gates will be
IS feet high 80 feet long and 10 feet
thick. A better understanding of
these dimensions may be had by the
statement that each gate will be about
the height of an 8-story building, and
the thickness will provide a driveway
for automobiles and other vehicles, as
we'll as foot passenger way. The low
er gates of the Welland canal are said
to be the largest and heaviest in the
world.

available In summer, snow surveys are
made every spring in the mountains OF
the west Type watersheds are sur
reyed. and the snow is estimated on
adjacent ones. The use of the snow
sampler gives best results. Several
sections of tubing of small diameter
are used to cut vertical snow cylin-
ders. This Is done at great many
points, and the water content of the
snow is determined by weight.
The effect of ocean control of depth
of snowfall is shown, Science notes, In
the case of the destructive snowstornl
in the vicinity of New York December
10, 1915. While the precipitation
(rain and melted SNOWY was heavy
everywhere, the depth of snowfall, &C.
cording to press reports, ranged from
a little or nothing in eastern Massa-
chusetts to one foot between New
York and New Haven and two feet
near Albany. The warmth of the
ocean effectively prevented snowfall
where the winds blew off the water
and made it sticky and dense near the
coast, even though the surface vino
was from the north. Not until Febru-
airy or March does heavy snowfall
occur with the winds from tht
ocean.

HEAVY FALL OF SNOW
AND ITS GREAT VALUE
GREATEST IN THE SIERRA NEW.
ADAs-HoW OPEN FORESTS
RETAIN MOISTURE.

Snow pressure so heavy as to bend
a fence made of two-inch boiler flues
and to cause the collapse, occasionally
of snowsheds even when built of 12X14
inch timbers is among phenomena OF
heavy snowfall in the mountains of the
west These facts are mentioned in a
summary by Science, monthly re-
view paper, by A. FL. Palmer on THE
Region of Greatest Snowfall in the
United States"
| Tamarack and Summit, Cal, have
the greatest observed snowfall in the
United States. During heavy snowfall
the wind is usually relatively light, in
marked contract to the windy snow
storms of the east. The pressure of
snow on any raised objects becomes
very great The gables of houses are
steep to prevent crushing similar to
that already noted as occurring at
times in heavy timbers of snowsheds.
For 80 miles. from Blue canyon to
Truekee, expensive snowsheds are re-
quired to protect the Southern Pacific
tracks from the snowfall and avail
anches. Continuing, Science says:
Rate of Melting.
Mountain snowfall is of immense
value for water power and for irriga-
ton; and to some extent this value is
controlled by the rate of melting.
Messrs A. j. Jaenicke and M. H..
Forester have written an article on
THE Influence of Western Yellow
Pine Forest on the Accumulation and
Melting of Snow" Five years of rec
ords near Flagstaff Ariz., indicate
that the snowfall in the forest and ad-
jacent grass and farm land park is the
same, but that the rate of melting is
different. In the park the minimum
temperatures are lower and the maxi |
mum are higher than those in the for
est. Thus the soil in the park is gem
orally frozen before the winter snow |
cover is established, while in the for
est the soil may freeze only in a few
spots. Any water from melting snow |
in winter forms an ice layer at the
base of the snow cover in the park,
but sinks into the ground in the for
est.
In winter, on account of the gener-
ally higher temperatures and the
heating of the local bare spots and
.rees, the snow melts more rapidly in
he forest than in the park In spring,
IN the contrary the formation OF
'lush, the strong sunshine and higher
Wind velocity in the park cause the
snow to melt a week, or even more

When his five months lease expired
the soulless corporation extended his
lease for six months and with satanic
! irony reduced his royalty to 10 per
cent, the lowest on the hill, with not a

Dan drilled and shot two rounds of
holes in the breast of his drift after
his renewed lease was signed. The
knife edge of vein matter began to
widen and change character. Tiny
metallic specks we're visible in the
dull brown and red oxides making up
the assures filling. Dan left a sack
sample at the assay office. That av-
eraged $1155 per ton gold, one ounce

+. w. Watson herewith tells the
story of Dan Mullan and how ht
struck 1t rich in the Gilmore, Idaho
mining district. There is a wealth OF
human interest behind this well
told narrative and the trail of obse-
steps of the miner after his persever-
ance had been rewarded is in striking
contrast to the derislve manner in
which they regarded him before he
had made goed-an all too common
trait in mankind.
The Story.
Gilmore, Idaho-And they say that
in this day and age there is no ro-
nance in mining and that perseyer-
ance has ceased to be virtue. Hark,
then, to the tale of Dan Mullan and
the gold strike at Gilmore, Idaho, Sep
TENDER last.
Dan Mullan was fired by leaser
and blacklisted. In spite of the latter
handicap he managed to get half in
terest in the lease of block of ground
in the Silver Dollar claim of the Pitts
burg Idaho company What work had
been done in the block showed no ore.
Dan and his partner starred a drift on
an iron seam which in places was no
wider than knife edge.
For three months they drifted with
hope back of every blow of the single
jack, but the face and back remained
barren.
The partner became disguised and
quit. Dan hammered on. Having
spent his previously earned wages it
was only by means of his Irish wit
that he was enabled to meet the vo-
lent opportunities of his landlady and
keep himself in powder and fuse and
caps Without funds he could not hire
a helper, so with undiminished zeal he
drilled, shot, mucked out and trammed
to the dump his daily output of lead
less waste,
Occasionally he would sing a swan
song extolling the possibilities of a
vast body of lead carbonate a few
rounds ahead with such subtlery that |
some newcomer would fall and work a
few shifts on the understanding that
if he continued he was to have a half
interest in the proceeds, None of these
optimists lasted more than week.
Dan became a pariah among the |
idle, the score of leasers who had

Weakly Fable.

Once upon time there was Car
nivorous Cannibal. Called Canni-
bal because as far as one could Hear,
he existed on Organisms of Like Spe-
cies, namely, the Peanut. Now when
allowed to Grow in Gardens, the Fes-
tive Peanut is an Innocent Animal
They are also quite Au Fait when
painted with Gilt Paint and hung on
Christmas Trees. The habit of Eat
ing Peanuts dates back Only Recent
ly since Columbus Invented America
and Baseball. Baseball being Bar
barous Custom with a Strange Ian
guage and being attended by a Tribe
who forget Everything but the Score,
is a fit Spawning Ground for Peanut
Eaters At any rate, the Aforemen-
toned Cannibal wandered away from

he Gnawed, he Snapped, he Nibbled,
he Champed, and then to add Insult
to Injury he Stamped on the Shells.
Since that Unhappy Day many of the

Only Ten Days
Left to Register

Counting today, there are but ten
more days left for registration of
voters, and those who have not yet
made themselves eligible to vote at
the November election are urged to
attend to this important matter at
once. Do not wait for the rush of
the last day or so, do it now and
save trouble on election day. AS
stated a number of times before, If
you have moved from your precinct
since last spring, you are required to
have a transfer made. If you did
not register then, complete registra-
ton is absolutely necessary, and this
is a final one unless another move is
made. This is an important cleo
ton. both locally and nationally, and
every citizen should make use Of
the rights granted them by the laws
of the land. There are many women
who have never registered, and as
this right of suffrage is one Of the
things for which women have been
contending for many years, the priv
ilege which they enjoy in this state
should not be so lightly regarded.
The woman vote in Oregon is going
to be watched in every part of the
nation, and the manner in which it
is used will be of vast Importance in
determining how much interest the
women of states having franchise
take in the election of their officials.
If you have woman friend who has
not registered, urge her to do so at
once, no matter whether she is of
the party you intend to support or
not. 1t is a general expression on
the woman vote that is wanted.

Democrats Debate
Offer Too Late

Two Medford democrats, Prosecut-

Neff, lawyer prominent in demo-
cratic circles, recently issued a pub
lie challenge to the republican coun-
ty committee for joint debate
throughout the county ON the ques-
tion, Resolved, that the achieve
ments of the Woodrow Wilson ad-
ministration entitle him to re-elec-
ton"
The republican county central COM
mittee has refused the debate chal-
lenge, their reasons being explained
fully in a letter which is printed
herewith:
Medford, Ore, Sept. 29, 1916.
Messrs. p. j. Neff and e. E. Kelly.
Gentlemen: Your invitation to
hold a series of joint debates, pub
lished in the Mail Tribune of Septem-
ber 26, has been called to my atten-
ton. For a month now the republi,
can committee has been planning and
arranging for the campaign which II
has now inaugurated. To properly
prepare for at this late date and tc
successfully conduct a series of joint
debates over the county would moi
only break into these plans and ar
rangements, but would materially in
crease the necessary and Legitimate
expenses of the committee, which II
cannot afford.
We regret that this offer was not
made at an earlier date, under which
circumstances we would have been
pleased to accept.
Very respectfully yours,
BERT ANDERSON,
Chairman Republican County Central
Committee.
