THREE DEAD ENGINES
In GRANTS PASS YARDS

Two more dead engines are stand
ing black and grim at the Southern
Pacific yards in Grants Pass, maxi
ing a total of three. The numbers
of the engines are 2515, 2572 and
2543.
Boilermaker Frank Smith, the
boilermaker who was at work here,
and who went on strike when all
we're called out, is working only
a few PAGES distant from the dead
locomotives. Smith Immediately af-
ter the strike took position at
the steam plant of the Warren Con-
struction company, located near the
Southern Pacific roundhouse. Smith
had been an employe of the shops
here for five years.
Word comes that the equipment
of the different Hartman lines up
the state is in bad way.
According to reports five dead en-
gines are in the shops in Portland
three in Roseburg, and several 9th
ers in the Umatilla, La Grande and
Huntington roundhouses, beside the
three dead ones in Grants Pass.
A number of passenger trains are

FAVORS AUTO TRUCK ROAD

portion of the S1S,000,000 road
to Crescent City, but to see that q
bonds voted last November, is used
for the purpose of building an auto
road from Crescent City to juno
tion with the Josephine county road
at the state line. This money is al
ready available under the law of
California, and work can be COM
menced on the California end any
time that Josephine county is ready
to act. This would not only afford
relief to the producers of Josephine
county, but would place the Rogue
River valley on the Great California
coast highway extending from San
Diego to Del Norte county
THAT auto freighting is possible
is shown by the recent service in
augurated between Fresno, and the
head of navigation ON the San Joa-
quin river. AS protest against ex-
tortionate rates on the Southern Pa
ciflc railroad, the merchants and the
producers Of Fresno county Joined
hands and are now operating autos
and steamers between San Francis
co and Fresno, a distance of 200
miles, and with tariff less than
one-half of that charged by the rail-
roads. And this same thing can be
done in Josephine county. All 1t re-
quires Is the proper effort on the
part of the people. And the time
for that is right now, while the Cali
fornia highway commission is for
mulating its state road policS.
San Diego county recently voted
bonds to the amount of 81 200, 900
for good roads for the purpose of
giving relief to the producers of the
interior and yet the exports and i'm
ports Of that county do not compare
in volume or value with those OF
Josephine county. The penalty Of an
excessive transportation rate dos
not fall upon the merchant-except
to the extent OF his personal con-
sumption, but upon the producers
and consumers Of the country. The
freight rate, like the tariff is always
passed on to the consumer These
are the people who must act If re-
lief Is to be had"

and besides this hundreds OF men
will be engaged in clearing land and
getting ready to commence farming
by up-to-date methods. The orchards
and vineyards, already planted, will
get the benefit Of irrigation which IN
turn will add to the value OF these
holdings.
During the year 1911 the South
ern Pacific brought into Grants Pass
more than 400 carloads of hay,
grain, potatoes and other commodi-
ties which should have been produc-
ed on our own lands and this could
have been done If we had possessed
the benefits of irrigation Next year
1t Is earnestly hoped that home
grown products, to a large extent
will be furnished the markets OF
Grants Pass and within very few
years we will be shipping these same
articles to points without the state.
What we will need in near future
is men who understand the growing
of crops by irrigation methods. This
is in reality scientific farming and
it is our duty to secure there people
OF experience so that the science Of
irrigation may be brought to our
valley.
There are opportunities for a
creamery to be established In this
city and, as this will add greatly to
the prosperity of agriculture, it
should occupy our attention. Al
falfa growing and the dairying bust"
ness are closely connected and both
can be made sure on our rich soil
and in our favorable climate. There
are many other things which viii be
fostered by irrigation and these will
find opportunity and place as time
goes on. The past may be filled
with regret because the things re-
Gently done were not done before,
Tut the future is all we have to do
with and therefore let us see to 1t
that we make the most Of our op-
portunitles. In every enterprise un-
dertaken, We must make good that
is: Having placed In our hands the
plow, let us not look backward.

WE ARE APPROACHING A CRISIS

The bond election In Jackson
county last Saturday has made some
OF the back numbers in Josephine
county sit up and rub their eyes.
They realize that the time will soon
come when 1t will be determined that
bonds will be voted here for road
purposes and that there will be no
escaping the responsibility. Two
thirds Of the people In Josephine
county will vote for building good
roads because they realize we must
keep up with the procession or be
left in the lurch. Grants Pass is the
very center around which will clus-
ter the benefits OF good roads build
ing.
We all realize that we must build
from this city TO the coast and this
means that not only the auto truck
business but the automobile travel
from both ways will center here on
the road to the sea. The good roads
movement promises more for Grants
Pass than anything that the rail-
roads have done for us or can do.
The railways have compelled us to
contribute two prices for every
pound Of freight they have ever
brought In or taken out.
II has been shown In these col
umns that a road from Grants Pass
to the sea to connect by steamer for
Portland or San Francisco will re-
duce the freight haul to and from
this point one-half. We have long
enough submitted to exorbltant
charges and the only way to get out
of the clutches OF the monsters Is
to build our own road and invite
auto truck men to use It for freight
Ing purposes. This will not only per-
NIT us to send our productions to
market at half the present price, but
II will enable us to get the same ad-
vantage in rates for goods shipped
II must be realized that this is
the time for action on our part and
TO this end let us determine what
we will do and who shall do 1t. The
county court and the Commercial
CLUB are standing foremost In this
ali important undertaking. We
believe the two organizations men
toned will be glad of the opportup-
ity to go forward hand in hand to
secure for Josephine county and for
Grants Pass the full benefit to be de-
rived from good roads building.
Jackson county has spoken and It
is next in order for Josephine coun,
ty to rise In It's place and pledge IT,
self to provide the necessary funds
to carry forward the great work.
The crisis is at hand. Let us be
equal to the occasion.
