Alabama, also, comes confirmation OF
the fact that the Underwood boomers
are receiving most encouraging reports
from New York. These reports go SO
far as to say that if the South wili keep
Representative Underwoofs name be-
fore the convention, New York State
may be counted on to fall into line after
the second or third ballot.
If the South can get over the ancient
obsession that Southern man cannot
be nominated for President and if the
South will keep the name of Underwood
before the convention, for few ballots,
there are many wise political observers
in Washington and New York who are
confident that the New York delegation
will swing into line for Underwood

AN EMINENT TAN

"The destiny of the American nation,
which l think is the most wonderful in
the whole history of the world, is per-
fectly safe in the hands of such men
as your Underwood. 1t is a pity that
we cannot have more of his kind il

UNDERWOOD OVER AGAIN

The rapid rise of Oscar w. Under
wood in the discussion of Presidential
possibilities is full of significance, and
may we'll cause CONSERVATION in the
Wilson, Clark and Harmon camps. As
a distinctive Southerner, his boom espe-
cially is a menace to Wilson, who ap-
pealed strongly to the sentiment of that
section, in which he was born and spent
his early years In the soundness of
his Democracy, the statesmanlike judg-
ment and moderation he displays in
dealing with the issues of the hour,
Mr. Underwood has no superior among
his rivals He avoids indorsing very
questionable issues to which Wilson
committed himself somewhat inconti-
nently.-The Troy Press, New York,
November %, 1911.

UNDERWOOD'S RISE NO
SURPRISE TO THOSE
WHO KNOW Hin

For years Oscar Underwood has been
recognized in his district as man of
marked ability. His broad knowledge
of the tariff displayed time and again
on the floor of Congress and in public
utterances on the stump; his far-reach-
ing insight into large public questions
under consideration in the national law
making body; his skill in debate; his
complete mastery of himself in times
of political turbulence on the floor of
Congress; his judgment as well as his
tact, have all convinced his constituents
that he was man of force and achieve
ment long before he became Chairman
of the Ways and Means Committee with
a tremendous task to perform.-Bv-
mingham Ledger, 1912.

Birmingham News
Supports Underwood

In many quarters there has arisen a
demand that Oscar w. Underwood be
named the standard bearer of the Demo-
cratic party in the campaign that will
be waged for the presidency in 1912.
1t is the earnest hope of The Birming-
ham Meas that this may come about.
Should the~banner be entrusted to the
keeping of Oscar w. Underwood, The
Birmingham Meas thoroughly believes
that by him it will be carried to glo-
rious victory, and that it will never be
stained by compromise with wrong or
sullied by collision with privilege.-The

LEONARD COMPANY TO
CONSTRUCT BRIDGE

To bridge the Applegate river near
Its mouth and so connect the two
main bodies OF the Leonard Orchard
company holdings is the present plan
of Mr.. Leonard and his associates.
The Leonard property consists OF
two main tracts, the one, the old
Moses farm, lying on the Rogue just
above the mouth of the Applegate.
and the other, the Penn-Oregon
ranch, lying in the delta at the point
where the Applegate DISCHARGES into
the Rogue. The only way of COM
munlcating between the two bodies
at present other than by fording the
Applegate. is to cross the county
bridge, requiring drive OF nearly
three miles. A bridge built at the
mouth would make access from one
ranch to the other much easier, and
would shorten and make much cas-
Ter the haul from the Penn-Oregon to
town.
A great many other families would
also be served by this bridge II right
of-way were permitted by the Leon
ard people, and agitation has been
started to get the county to assist
Leonard in erecting the structure and
so make It available to all who wish
TO cross.
A preliminary survey and plan for
the bridge Is to be made at once,
though the bridge may not be con-
structed till another spring.
With the completion of bridge at
the point where It is proposed to To-
cate this one, the long-talked of river
highway will be a possibility, This
road could follow the river on the
south side from Grants Pass down,
and would be scenic driveway OF
unsurpassed beauty.

PETITION FOR BRIDGE
on MURPHY CREEK.

A petition was filed in the county
court Wednesday asking that a
bridge be constructed across Murphy
creek near where It empties into the
Applegate river. Those behind the
move propose that the old Applegate
bridge which is to be replaced by a
more modern structure, be moved the
quarter mile necessary, and placed
over the creek.
They point out that the road lead
ing up Murphy creek is being i'm
proved, and that with the bridge as
proposed, much travel will go that
way In fact, they state that this
route will shorten the distance to the
Illinois valley points, Holland being
some ten miles nearer to Grants Pass
by this route than by the route as
now travelled
