WHAT HAPPENS TO
WATER SUPPLY IL
b QUERY OF COUNCIL

why is 4 gallon OF water?" was
the general query of the city coun-
Gil last night following the reading
of a report by Earl Hosler. water
superintendent, of water measure
ments taken In Ashland creek last
month, placing the average flow In
the neighborhood OF 100000 gal
Ions day. The report was made on
measurements taken daily ffom Aug.
ust IL to August 81 inclusive, fol-
lowing the placing OF weirs in Ash
land creek. Practically all OF the
flow during the past few days has
been going into the water mains and
has been used. Water Superintendent
Hpsler stated The amount OF wa
ter now being used by the city is
far in excess Of the amount estimat-
ed by an engineer who made u re-
port for the city some time ago
Councilman Joy queried F. II. Wal
ker, city engineer. on the subject.
"The city OF Medford, according
to published reports" stated Mr.
Walker, has water supply OF about
500 gallon per capita, and they are
wondering where in the Sam Hill
all that water is going to. Ashland,
with a smaller population, has about
1000 gallons of water per capita
Where is all that water going to?
The amount going into the city mains
Is far above that figured necessary
by the engineer in making the re-
port"

Scenic Society
To Attend Fair
AT Grants Pass

The regular meeting of the Scent,
Preservation association OF Jackson
county takes place on the third Fri
day of each month and for Septembe;
that happens to fall Oh the day upon
which Jackson county residents ara
expected to attend the Josephine
county Fair at Grants Pass. No reg
plar meeting will be held, but mem-
bers OF the association are expected
to wear a scenic preservation badge,
which will be provided, and to 60 to
Grants Pass with the other residents
of Jackson county.
AS the object of the preservation
association is the creation of SEN
timent against the destruction of
scenery and as Governor 0lcott has
recently called a conference of men
interested In the conservation of THE
scenic resources of the state, II is
fitting that members Of the pioner
organization of Oregon go to Jose
phine county and by their presence
there help in getting the movement
started in our neighboring county.
To see that every county in the state
is organized is a part Of the state
program of the preservation of the
scenery.

BACK DATING OF EXCESS
PROFITS TAX Is FAVORED

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept s.
There is growing sentiment IN
the senate finance committee to
make repeal of the excess profits
tax retroactive to last January l,
instead OF effective next January /,
as provided for in the house revenue
bill, Chairman Penrose said, in an
nouncing that the committee eX-
pected TO complete preliminary con-
sideration of the house measure.
1t is understood that Secretary
Mellon will suggest the retroactive
repeal when he appears before the
committee to submit statement as
TO future government money needs.
Such repeal was provided for in the
tax bill. as drawn IN the house ways
and means committee. but republi
can members of the house voted in
conference to postpone the date to
January /, 1922.
Members of the senate commit
tee are understood to hold that the
republican party promised TO repeal
this tax Immediately, and that this
IA settled pledge in the public
mind. The same position was taken
by most republican members Of the
house committee. but western rep
resentatives led successful fight
for retention Of the tax for this year.
Treasury experts have estimated
retroactive repeal OF this levy would
cut $45O,O00, 900 from the revenue
in the next year, making the income
on the basis OF the house bill w.
$4,000. 900 for 1922 The house
committee also proposed retroactive
repeal of the income surtax brack-
cts in excess Of 32 per cent, estimat-
ed to cut an additional s90.OOO,OOO
from the revenue.
A new feature in revenue legisla-
tlon under consideration by the SEN
ate committee would make possible
speedy refunding OF taxes improperly
paid. Treasury experts have been
asked to draft such provision,

hundreds of the boys who went ov

daily.
Every day ex-service men appea
to the Red Cross who have become
mentally unsound. do not know
what causes it. the strain OF war
the stress of peace, or the after ef
fects of gas and high explosives, bul
] do know they are coming in alarm
ing numbers. The scourge Of wal
is upon us. and will be for many
years to come"
Il often hear men say: Why
can't the ex-soldiers work like do?
said Dr.. Creighton. There were
some grafters among them. but the
rank and file of the boys are on the
square. They are doing the best they
can. Only small per cent come fol-
aid willingly" ...
DIR. Creighton reviewed the minor
activities of the Req Cross, after de-
claring that the first duty Of the
organization and the nation was ia
the veterans.

PEAR ORCHARD PAYS
S21,50O PROFITS
YEARLY, 100 ACRES

That pear orchards In the Rogue
River Valley are steady income pro-
ducers is clearly demonstrated by
the record of the Hollywood Orchard
on the Jacksonville road which under
Its present management has paid a
net revenue OF from three to tweney-
one and one-half per cent on a valu-
atlon of 100000.
There are 100 acres OF fruit trees
In the Hollywood orchard, SO acres
OF mature Comice pears, acres of
mature Bose pears, 20 acres OF
young pears, Bose and COmice, and
20 acres of yellow apples
In 1917 the net revenue AFTER
DEDuCTING ALL OPERATING AND
MARKETING EXPENSES, was S3,-
900.
In 1918, $1,000.
In 1919, s21,5OO
and in 1920, $13,50O.
As the Bose and Comice pears
bring the highest prices in the east
ern market 1t is safe TO assume the
net the land. Some of these diff
ferences are strikingly illustrated to
the eye and mind by chart A, made
part of this study.
Some of the orchardists here do
not get says per acre from pears,
or $500 frcA apples, while a few
here realize more. The wehat crop in
Kansas and other eastern states il
also up and down In yield, by both
bushels and dollars.
The people here have now had
enough experience with fruit grow
ing so they know better how to plant
than when many of the present or
chards were set out. They understand
far better the need of adaptations to
soil and other conditions, and results
can be more safely planned in ad
vance than in former years.
Modern men, who will build or
the experience OF growers here, and
will manage orchards. especial!
Bartlett pears. carefully and scien
tifically, can find few investments
anywhere more safe, profitable ant
satisfying than good pear orchard
In Jackson county And other varie
ties OF pears, and the standard kinds
OF apples and peaches may do nearly
as well. Loganberries and straw
berries might make still better re-
turns from smaller areas of ground
And such investments are sure to be
more valuable as the country, mar
kets and transportation facilities de-
velop. as they will gradually do be-
yond any question.

bad MEN" GIVE
UP IDEA OF PLEA
FOR NEW TRIAL


Peter F. Strauff. picturesque fig
ure OF Northwest crime annals, and
Frank Kodat have withdrawn their
appeal to the supreme court for a
new trial, and will be taken to Sa-
lem this week to serve sentences on
a charge OF attempting to rob the
Gold Hill bank on the night OF Ap-
rll l3 last. Both men have served
prison terms before, and will go back
protesting their innocence, and
charging they were "railroaded" on
fllppant and flimsy testimony. They
liken their predicament to that OF
Lark Evans, who was sentenced TO
fifteen year term for robbing a
Grants Pass jitney driver, and when
granted a new trial, upon the ground
OF new evidence, was acquitted.
Rich and influential friends of
Strauff, who is known as Dutch
Pete" advised him to start serving
his sentence, and take chance
with the pardon board" Already a
number OF citizens have called the
attention OF Governor Ben olcott,
urging that he investigate the case.
The two men were convicted of
attempting TO rob the Gold Hill bank
and the case hinged upon the ques-
ton of Identification A watchman
stationed in the bank, after the au-
thorities had been tipped off" by
an ex-cOnvict named Foster, was the
star witness. He identified the men,
although he said both had their
faces blackened, wore masks, were
partly hidden by wall and 1t was
after midnight. A cache of dyna-
mite, supposed to have been hidden
under a Gold Hill sidewalk, was
neved investigated, and why the
sheriff's office stationed but one
man in the bank, when they knew
two desperate characters were com
ing to commit crime, has never
been explained. The defendants Of
fered testimony that they were in
Medford lodging houses at the time
the crime was committed.
The prison records OF both men
were aired at the trial and weighed
heavily against them. Strauff ad-
mitted his past. but swore he was
trying to lead an honorable lie.
Though advertised as bad men,
Stranff and Kodat, during their in
carceration in the county jail have
ben model prisoners, and though
spied upon by fellow prisoners have
never revealed an iota of evidence
that would link them with the at
tempted Gold Hill robbery.
Strauff was pardoned by Cover
nor olcott on Christmas day, 1918,
and too old for military service was
a watchman in Portland and Astoria
shipyards. Former Commissioner
OF the Port of Portland Wright act
ed as his sponsor and gave character
testimony at his trial last spring
He was sentenced to Thirteen years
for robbery of an o. II. & N. train
and before capture was shot through
the lung
It is expected that the two men
will be taken to Salem the end of
the week by Sheriff Terrill.
