viding they would not pay more than
what they could construct the system
alone. The opinion was that, al
though the land would earn interest
on more than $50 per acre, that to
float a bond issue in excess of that
amount would be difficult. 1t Is
probable that the Gold Hill district
will vote on a bond issue in the near
future. It was urged that steps be
taken to secure the cooperation and
assistance of all those who could
profitably get irrigation water from
the Grants Pass system in order to
finance the fullest development of
the project.
H. A. vogel, a wholesale and re-
tail druggist at Newell, Iowa, has
been here the past week looking af-
ter his property interests in this dis
trict. He and Dick Strauss of Sans
valley are now owners of the, old
home farm of c. c. McClendon, con-
sisting of $50 acres in Sans valley.
Since acquiring the property several
years ago they have made many ex-
tensive improvements on the prem
ises and are contemplating many
more, among which is the tile-drain-
ing of the entire tract at an expense
of from $4,000 to $4,000. They have
quite a herd of dairy COWS estab-
lished on the farm and will add more
with the erection of large silo to
be constructed in the near future.
Mr.. Strauss lives on the farm with
his family and is personally manag-
ing affairs. Mr.. Vogel is very much
impressed with southern Oregon in
spite of the unfavorable dry season
that we have been passing through.
He returned to his home Thursday
morning via Portland,
Cyreness Vroman, an old-time resi-
dent of the Gold Hill district, was
here Thursday greeting his old
friends from Portland, where he now
resides. He is better known and
called by his old acquaintances as
Doc Vroman. He acquired the doc"
in the early '9Os' while peddling DR..

region with a prim painted wagon
and sprightly team of horses He
is in the valley looking after his
property interests at Ashland and

A daughter of L. Chandler living
near Phoenix, by some mysterious
cause fell from a horse that was
standing still on last Friday evening
and broke her arm. Dr. Covert was
summoned, and the patient is doing

Our citizens were painfully sur
prised on yesterday morning to hear
Of the death of Mr.. Farnham. AL
though he has been quite i'll for some
time, no one expected to hear of his
death, as he has not been confined to
his room. We understand that the
immediate cause of his death was
hemorrhage of the lungs. Mr.. Farm
ham was an old citizen of this county,
and was universally esteemed as an
honorable business man and a good
citizen.
The bridge being built by Thomas
Chavner at Dardanells is rapidly pro-
crossing to completion.
B. F. Underwood is still on the

Conserve Live Stock.

The American Railway Associa-
tons Commission on car Service
has asked all the railroads to make
every effort to prevent the great
economic loss resulting from the
killing of live stock on railway
tracks.
The thousands of horses and
mules that are killed on railroads
every year would ill the artillery
requirements Of many regiments,
and the thousands of cattle, hogs
and sheep likewise killed would
provide meat for thousands Of
soldiers.
This economic waste can be
greatly reduced If stock owners
will keep animals in fenced ehclos
ures. if town officials will enforce
ordinances prohibiting stock from
roaming at large and if section men
drive stock off the right of way and
keep farm gates closed and fences
and cattle guards in good repair.

Not a Fair Chance.

The London correspondent OF
that great newspaper, the New York
Sun. recently said of the German
army that 1T is becoming danger
ously infected with the feeling that
it no longer has fair chance" and
we cannot realize for a moment
how it can be otherwise.
Led to believe that it was invinci-
Bile, that the combined armies of
the world cannot stand against it;
smashing its way through Belgium
with the walls of fortresses sup
posed TO be improbable crumbling
into fragments under the fire of the
world; confident that the imperial
banner Of Germany would be wav
ing over Paris within a weeks time
with the kaiser debating terms of
peace to the allies: knowing that
England was almost totally UMPIRE
pared so far as an army was con-
cerned; believing, or protesting to
believe, that the English colonies
and English possessions would
promptly seize this opportunity to
cut loose from the empire, its over
weening confidence received rude
and sudden check at the battle of
the Marine, where to the minds of
thoughtful everywhere. except
among the German war lords and
the people under their rule, a defeat
instead of victory foretold final
failure and final defeat
But this was not all. This nigh.
ty army that confidently expected
to sweep triumphaDtly into the cap
ital OF France.~a mere triumphal
m arch, found it necessary, even to
hold its lines dig in to burrow in
the earth. to construct trenches OF
concrete and of steel stronger than
any fortresses the world has yet
seen, stronger than ever before
known to military science
Improbable, it was thought. i'm.
possible to be stormed by any force
that could be brought against them
and yet that confidence has been
found TO be misplaced. Month at.
ter month, week after week. day by
day those supposed improbable
trenches have been blown out OF
the earth by the superior artillery
OF the allies, and the supposed in.
win chile army that occupied them
driven back. only to be moved
down like grass before the scythe
when making counter charges in
masses in vain attempts to regain
lost ground.
Is il any wonder. then, that the
German aTmv is becoming danger
ously infected with the feeling that
it no longer has a fair chance? Il
is a simple impossibility for that
not to be the case.
Such feeling is dangerous OF
the part of an army or on the par
of an individual.
To be sent to almost certain
death, with a feeling that there i.
little or no chance to wiz, is no,
likely TO lead TO victory, and some
of these days on that western battle
line, that dangerous infection which
surely exists is going to lead tC
mighty consequences.
