we have a fine little section of
country surrounding Hugo, one we
know is of good, rich soil. in our lit
tie valley; Of course the upland is
more or less of granite formation.
We do not want to sell out, therefore
we don't need to blow about our Sec
tion, IL people do not believe we are
from Missouri they will be convinced
that we can "show" them by paying
us a visit.
Our little valley is in one of the
best locations in Southern Oregon for
good town and just about the right
distance from Grants Pass for another
good sized city.
: Now, Mr.. Wide-awake, you need
not look for any of us over viewing
your country with any intention of
buying. We are not coming. If you
are in need of any farming informa-
tion, just ask some of our old time
farmers, they have been here long
enough to thoroughly understand the
ways of farming Oregon's most fer
tile soil.

SHALL RAILROAD LANDS BE SOLD?

Voters of Southern Oregon, attention Es-
pecially those of you who are miners, farmers or
business men and who interested in the re-
moval of the handicap that the vast railroad hold
ings place upon the mining and farming industries
of this section and which is block on the prosper
ity of every interest in Southern Oregon, asked
to note the position of Judge E. B. Watson, OF
Portland candidate for United States Senator.
Judge Watson was the first to advocate forcing the
railroad to put their Southern Oregon lands on the
market and at the price that was stipulated in the
grant, which was not to exceed $3.50 per acre. The
following extract from Mr.. Watson's platform clearly
states his position this subject that is OF such
vital importance to the development and the pros
perity of this section Of Oregon:
II will myself the utmost to such action
by Congress will enable the people to realize the bene
fits of the in the several acts OF Congress grant
ing lands aid in the construction of railroads. and the
Coos military road in the State of Oregon requiring the
several corporations receiving the said grants to sell the
lands granted quantities not to exceed 100 acres to
any person and price not to exceed 81 so per acre.
in accordance with the long established policy OF the Gov
ernment, promote the settlement and development OF
the country by furnishing the widest opportunities to ac
aure homes upon the public domain"

HOSPITALITY.

We read much of the pleasant hospi
tally of those who dwell in the south
land, and many are the references made
thereto by those who have Travelled
there. Yet it was but the other day
that we heard a gentleman who had
been travelling through the north, and
whose own home was north of the Ma
son and Dixon line. say that hospitality
was a lost art In America. We don't
believe him, yet can clearly see his
point of view when he tells us that at
many of the farm homes where he stop
ped for a drink or perchance meal,
while driving across country, his recep-
ton was far from cordial, entirely lack
ing in any show of good feeling. Hos
pitality does not necessarily imply a
prodigal bestowal of meals and lodging
free of charge to any stranger who may
come along, but it does call for obedi-
ence to the common rules Of courtesy,
the willingness to give one, whether
your neighbor or a stranger, a cordial
greeting and lend a helping hand in
case of need Show US your hospitable
man and we will show you an opti-
mist, broad minded citizen, good
neighbor. Show us a home where the
spirit Of hospitality prevails and we
will point out to you a happy family
and a harmonious home circle. He who
will practice this virtue will find his
own reward-he will receive far more
than he can ever give.
Gloucester County Democrat. (Woodbury, N.J.) 1878-1932, 1906-02-08
GOOD READING MATTER.

The value Of lot Of good reading
matter in the farm home where there
are young folks, and even where there
are not, is almost impossible Of proper
appreciation. Altogether too many
homes are filed up with literary trash
selected because 1t is cheap. # one can
find time for just ten minutes each day
and every day to come in touch with
the great minds and the best thought
Of the world, it exercises most potent
md broadening influence; it does more
than this, for it will surely create an
appetite for the best things in a liter
airy way, and an appetite for good
things in reading is just as mandatory
and exacting as deprayed appetite
for the bad things There are but few
people, we care not what may be their
vocation, who could not if they would
spare a few minutes each day for this
elevating work One Of the great priyi-
leges of living IN the twentieth century
lies in the easy access to all the best
thought of the master minds of the
past. Any farmer with children in his
home who are possibly limited as to
educational advantages may easily
make this educational loss good by
seeing that his home is literally sup
piled with good reading matter books,
magazines and newspapers and it is
just as much duty to see that this is
done as it is to properly feed his stock
and harvest his crops. We have been
in many a farm home where the read
ing matter included only a mail order
shoddy story paper, local paper and
half dozen cheap subscription books
of doubtful value. To try to raise a
boy or girl on such stuff is like trying
to raise calf on sour separator milk.
