ANACROSS-STATE HIGHWAY
Committee Appointed to Confer With
Curry, Jackson and klamath
Counties.
fofficial Report by H. l.. An
drews, Secretary

On Monday evening the Grants
pass Commercial Club met in regular
monthly session with large attend
ance of members present. The re-
gular routine of business having
beep disposed of, the various stand
ing committees presented their re-
ports, Mr., o. S. Blanchard, as
chairman of the railroad committee
stated that complete data for the
proposed railroad to the Illinois val
lev had been gathered and that it
was now ready to be printed in the
form of a prospectus; however, the
committee was delaying the printing
thereof for the reason that at the
present time three separate railroad
promotion concerns were in the field
and all of them appeared to have am
pie backing to finance the project.
Much enthusiasm was aroused by the
report, and the committee commend
ed for its prompt action.
The clubs reception to all the
citizens of Josephine county was re-
,erred to by President Hall who
stated that it was conceded by prom
nent men of the state that this
county was one of the richest, if not
the richest, in natural resources in
the state, and that the clubs idea
of drawing together all the citizens
was for the purpose of making them
q unit in action for the development
OF the entire county. He referred
to the water, timber, mines and land
suitable for the production of all
fruits, grains and grasses.

S"ii1 Vounty were deSirOus of co-
operating with the people of Jose
phine county in the matter of build-
ing road connecting the two conn
ties, thereby giving an outlet for
Curry county by the way of Rogue
river TO this city. NJ. J. Anderson
supervisor of the national forest was
present and stated that he had re-
Gently visited every county and nook
and corner of Southern Oregon and
that all roads naturally lead to
Grants Pass; that the people of Cur
ry county were willing to help them
selves, and If accorded some support
by this county, wagon road could
be built, which once ACCOMPLISHED
would demonstrate that railroad
from Grants Pass down Rogue river
to connect with the railway now
building between Bandon and Port
Oxford was not only necessity but
would be a profitable investment.
o. s. Blanchard concurred with
the remarks of Mr.. Anderson ard
stated that a state highway from
Central Oregon, via Crater Lake.
through Jackson county and on to
Grants Pass, thence down the Rogue
river to the ocean at some point in
Curry county was not only feasible,
but that immediate steps should be
taken to prepare the matter for pre-
sentation to the next legislature.
Upon motion committee was ap-
pointed with NJ. J. Anderson chair
man, 0. S. Blanchard and J. e. Hair.
This committee was instructed to
get busy at once.
County Judge Jewell stated that
at the recent conference of the coun-
ty Judges of the state held at Port
land, matters looking to the Develop
ment of the entire state were dis
cussed and that he felt that the CO.
operation of the other judges could
be had in bringing this mattet
strongly to the attention of the legis-
lature.
Among visitors present was lIor-
ace c. Hall, a mining and irrigation
engineer from Colorado, who has re-
Gently located in Grants Pass. lie
stated that Grants Pass and Jose
phine county appealed to him as be-
ing the most remarkable section he
had ever visited, with its wonderful
water and water power and the ma
tural wealth Of its resources, He had
spent IS years between the east and
west of the Rockies and he stated
that when the Rio Grande valley
started to develop there was nothing
but greasewood and alkali but with
irrigation wonders had been accom-
plished there. But here at Grants
Pass we had a great advantage in
the matter of climate, soil, elevation
and natural wealth, which, combined
with irrigation, would quadruple the
crops and as we have good markets
and abundance of water the outlook
of this section was the most promis'
ing of any he had observed In the
west
J. G. Riggs stated that A. ?
Stover. the government engineer re-
Gently here said that If the people
here would cooperate that an eX
detrimental irrigation farm could BE
established at Grants Pass to demon
strate not only the most profitable
crops, but also the proper use o
water for irrigation purposes. Th'
matter was referred to the board o
trustees to make the necessary pro
vision.

WHAT WOMEN REALLY WANT.

What women want today, what
they have always wanted, What they

long as human nature is human ma
ture, is something to take care Of
dozen babies always under foot and
in the way, to the celebrated profes.
sor of geology, the dream is the same
something to take care of. Learn
ing does not quench the instinct nor
wealth destroy it, nor independence
deaden, it. A woman at the very top
of one of the learned professions re-
Gently explained her economies by
saying she was investing in a little
farm, upon which she intended to
bring up little adopted boy and girl,

No political duties or interest," are
g ,ng to change this instinct Ccndi-
tons have changed women's occula-
tons; necessarily she has changed her
methods to meet the need, hut she is
still the caretak-r, still finding her
chief happiness and her chief LABOR in
looking out for others. in protecting
the rising generation. 1t will be the
very last instinct to yield, if she ever
does, to new and strange forces. the
adjustment to economics is unaVoid-
able. Women are demanding new
rights because new conditions render
their work futile or difficult without
them, but wherever and whenever
women are able to get beyond the
actual needs of the body, the neces-
stiles of life, they will provide next
for their happiness, and their happi-
ness lies always in something to take

plain sawed material ordinarily gives
more trouble than quarter sawed.
The real problem for the consuming
trade is to study these questions. and
to devise ways to guard against the
dlfhculties encountered. If gum shows
a tendency to warp, why not reinforce
