AN ASSET WORTH MILLIONS.

Soutnern Oregon does not yet
fully appreciate the great value of
one OF its richest resources. IL has
not realized just how much of an as
set II has In the attractions which II
offers the sportsman and the outer.
These rugged hills that reach
back from the fertile valleys are far
from being waste places, or valuable
only from the chance of mineral de-
posit or Of merchantable timber, but
as the playground of the people they
will continue to pay dividends dur
ing the ages to come If the asset is
rightly and properly conserved
The state of Maine, with an area
no greater than that Of western Ore
gon. makes its wild places pay it a
dividend of $2O,OOO,OOO annually.
Southern Oregon has more to offer
the outer bent upon his vacation
than has Maine, and II care is ex-
ercised in the management of this
estate, 1t will become a producer of a
payroll of magnitude.
Maine has not the variety of ma
tural scenery to offer that has south
ern Oregon The Marble caves,
Crater lake, the rugged beauty of
the Rogue as 1t breaks its way
through the cleft rocks in its course
to the sea, have no like attractions
in the eastern state. Yet Maine has
become the mecca of the sportsman
the lure Of the vacationist.
The maintenance OF the fish and
the game supply is what has placed
Maine in the forefront. Its protec.
tlon and conservation has kept the
supply undlminished, and as a con
sequence twenty millions Of dollar,
are paid into the channels Of trade
by the people OF other states who &c
there in answer to the call of N,
wild.

EDUCATION TEST PROPER.

The enactment of the Burnett
Dillingham; bill by congress will not
only be a deterrent to crime but Of
poverty as well. The foreign-born
illiterate is a menace to good gov
ernment, and 1t is not asking too
much OF our friends across the sea
to demand that those Of their people
who are sent here have at least the
rudlments Of an education. There
are other restrictions that might
well be applied to the immigrants
from some of the countries, and un-
doubtedly they will be added later.
America welcomes the intelligent
and well-meaning immigrant, but
there are limits beyond which the
welcome can not be expected to ex-
tend. The various states pay for the
education of their youth and demand
that they accept such education. Let
us demand as much from the would
be citizen who has grown to man
hood in some foreign country.

that redwood into wares for the
trade Of the world.
A bond of sympathy has been es-
tablished between the two cities
that will be lasting, and when the
road is completed, and communica-
tion between the two points becomes
a matter OF hours instead Of days,
we can be neighbors in fact and in
practice. Two cities will take their
places on the map in red letters with

A GRANTS PASS-OWNED RAIL
ROAD.

hOADs
The people OF Grants Pass do not
expect to build a road from here to
the sea with 100000. But tney do
expect that that amount OF money
will build the first unit of the road
extending to the Applegate valley,
and that by the time that is COM
pleted and in operation finances will
be available for continuing the rail
laying to connect with the road that
will be projected from Crescent City,
even if the financing is not taken
over much sooner than that by some
of the big railway interests.
1t costs from $4,000 to $4,000
per mile to grade and lay the rails
through such territory as will be
encountered between Grants Pass
and the Applegate valley. This
means that at least twenty miles of
rails can be laid from here. which
will open up a great area OF the
richest farming, timber and mining
country in the west.
Even IL this unit OF the road were
all that was in sight it would be an
enterprise that would be worthy the
effort, and traffic would come from
II that would solve the question of
bond interest from the very start,
It would open up gold and copper
mines that would give employment
to hundreds OF men, and would make
available the immense deposit Of ce-
ment and limestone that would sup
Iply continuous tonnage.
But there is not a man Of those
who are in touch with the develop.
men Of the project who doubt for q
minute the successful financing oi
the road to the coast II must be re
Imembered that the biggest incen.
tive for the building lies in the de
velopment of the redwood forests tC
the west and in making physlca
connection between the interior anC
the coast
At the coast end approximatei
half q million dollars are already i-
sight toward the financing OF the Pa
Icihc-Interior. This will lay stee
well along through the magnihcen
forests toward the Grants PAS
owned road and the bringing OF cap
Iital into the enterprise will not D,
difficult With nearly a million dol
lars already In sight, Dr Reddy. whC
has the financing OF the project II
hand,says that there is nothing surer
than that the road to the sea will bt
built az once.

californian Buys Property

w. H. Condart, who purchased so
acres of orchard land down the riv-
er, near the Flanagan and Cornell
ranch. left on Wednesday for Santa
Cruz to pack up his belongings pre-
paratory to removing to Grants Pass.
He also has secured a timber loca-
ton in the Illinois valley. Mr.. Con-
dart is confident that a number of
his friends in the southern city will
want to make Grants Pass their
home when he has told them of the
advantages of this section.

a MURDERERS EXECUTED.
Continued from Page H.

Well, out at the prison at this mo-
ment they are having a bloody
feast.
But Mister Governor" cried an
attorney, Morgan did not commit
this crime. He did not get fair
trial. He never had a day in court
or a chance to tell the story"
The governor rose wearily.
Il believe you. | believe Morgan
did not kill York with premeditation.
All the more reason why he should
die today. If | reprieve him now,
know, | tell you, know that the
movement TO abolish hanging will be
delayed for years"
The lawyer rose, too, and would
have argued longer, but the COVER
nor checked him with a gesture.
But we will kill Morgan with
premeditation. We will strange
him with Garrison and Roberts and
Faulder. The people claim the lives
of these men. They cried out Cru
city them; cruelty them!'
With tears in his eyes, but with a
sneering curl at the corners of his
mouth, he concluded the interview:
1T would be unfair to our invit-
ed guests, who have looked forward
with so much pleasure TO this event
to rob them of a single item on the
program.

CAUSE FOR JUBlLATIoN.

The jubilation OF the citizens Of
Grants Pass over the outcome OF the
bond election is more the expression
OF JOY at the unanimous spirit rath-
er than because OF the assurance Of
the railroad and OF progress. In one
we find as great victory as in the
other Few communities can boast
OF such a spontaneous outburst OF
public spirit. Few have ever got be-
hind a public enterprise with the de-
termination TO succeed that our
people are now exhibiting.
But the Joy OF the occasion is not
ours alone. From Crescent City and
from all the intervening territory
there comes the sound OF acclaim
and OF congratulation. For to all
OF the people now bottled up in the
interior the coming OF a railroad has
been the dream OF years. For half
century has the development OF
the mine and the forest been retard-
ed, and the action OF Grants Pass
means to these districts dream
come true.

The expression of many OF the

City, as published in the Courier
Tuesday brought more forcibly to
mind Just how closely allied are the
interests OF the two districts. The
value OF each is greatly augmented
by the presence and proximity of the
other. The making available OF these
values Is the necessity for the build
ing OF the Pacihc-lnterior railway.
Crescent City and the coast want the
fruit and the other products OF the
Rogue valley that are not produced
there Likewise we Of the interior
look with longing eve toward the
redwood forests, and in the mind
picture factories driven by the pow
