IMPROVING THE HIGHWAY.

The people of Jackson county are
to vote upon the question of bond
ing in the amount of half million
dollars for the building of a paved
highway from the California line TO
the west line OF Josephine county,
being the first county in the state
to take advantage of the law proyid-
ing for the voting of bonds for road
building purposes. The route Of the
proposed road is along the present
Pacific Highway, and utilities the
paved streets of Ashland, Medford
and Central Point in its SO mile
course. The bonds are to bear FIVE
per cent interest and are to be re-
tired in blocks of 100000 each five
years, commencing In ten years. The
election will be held September 9Th.
No county should be afraid of
bonds that are voted for the purpose
OF bettering the road system, for it
is the best investment that a COM
munity can make, Every county
from Jackson north to the Washing
ton line should follow the lead, and
Jackson should remember that the
way she votes will have a powerful
influence upon the action of the 9TH
or counties. II she defeats the bond
issue, there will be little incentive
for the counties to the north to pave
the highway, but If the bonds are
voted and the road constructed every
other county will have to do like
wise as matter Of self protection.
Josephine's roads are now classed as
good, and for the greater part Of the
year they are good The expense of
building across the county will be
much less than the cost TO which
Jackson will be put, and the work
should be done as soon as it can be
conveniently gotten at. To retain
the Pacific Highway on its present
course through southern Oregon. the
improvement of all the roads is nec-
essary.

WILL FACILITATE HOMESTEAD
ENTRIES.

For the last year or more public
lands in the western states have been
designated by the secretary of the
interior as subject to entry under the
so-called enlarged-homestead act, or
the 32O-acrs homestead act, only on
petition of those who desire to avail
themselves OF the provisions of this
law. This procedure was an out
growth OF the desire of the depart
ment to designate no lands which
were not actually enterable under the
law In question In order to accom-
plish this end the status of each
tract had to be investigated to de-
termine whether It was already en-
tered. was school section, was in
yolved in state selection, or for any
other reason had been taken out Of
the class of 'unappropriated" public
lands which alone are enterable un-
der this act. This search meant that
with the meager force available to
the department only slow progress
could be made in the designation Of
lands for entry under this law.
Soon aEter the passage of the act

THE RURAL CREDIT SYSTEM.

The advocacy by President Wilson
Of system of farm credits through
out the United States will meet with
much approval on the part of the
general public. Germany, France,
and other Of the more progressive of
the foreign nations have long had in
operation system OF rural credits
whereby the development of the farm
was expedited and the nation made
more prosperous than It otherwise
would have been. In past years it
has not been necessary for the sys-
tenn to be adopted in the United
States for with cheap lands, with the
virgin fertility unimpaired, the far
mer has been more independent, and
such credit as he was obliged to ask
could usually be accorded by the
banks or by individuals. But during
the past two decades, with the free
homestead lands gobbled up and land
prices constantly on the increase,
land ownership has come to be a
more difficult proposition, and with
out credit system whereby the land
holder could have more than the few
months usually accorded to make
payment for his land. the back to the
soil slogan could not mean much TO a
grea majority. The farm is the bone
and the slnew OF the country, and up
ON It's prosperity rests largely the
prosperity o, the nation. Credit
through national aid will assist the
farmer In a more complete develop
ment OF his holdings, In renewing the
depleted fertility of his acres, and in
placing himself not only in a position
to meet his obligation, but to reap a
larger measure Of comfort and happi-
ness

GRANTS PASS AND THE BONUS

GhANlo fAoo AMI THE BONUS
In subscribing a bonus OF $1O0,.
900 for the building OF a railroad to
the coast the people of Grants Pass
are taking no chances. They make
no payment unless the road is built,
and II It is built the payment will
be a matter Of small consequence to
the subscribers. The bond issue has
no significance as bonus, as the
money derived from that source will
go to the building Of a city-owned
unit Of the road, road that would
have been built and operated as far
as the Applegate valley even II the
California, Oregon & Eastern had
not been financed.
This hundred thousand comes as
a separate and distinct proposition.
II assures the road to the coast, and
It's expenditure is from that point OF
view as necessary as the purchase Of
powder for clearing land or OF plow-
ing the land for crops. 1t is part Of
the fund for development Of the
country, and without development
the ownership OF lands or Of busl-
ness enterprises can not return pro-
fits. II the only thing that a rail-
road would do would be to increase
the value of mans acres 1t would
profit man little unless he want
ed to sell, but In this case a railroad
will open markets that will make
the product Of the acres more valu-
able, and returns from land owner
ship will be greatly increased. A
market for the produce, and trans
portation facilities that make the
getting Of the produce to the mar
ket, are the two things that assure
a prosperous community. The
Rogue valley has shown its ability in
OF production. II the rails
ing OF 100000 will make the other
conditions right, Il should be raised
In days time, and II will undoubt-
edly be so raised when the effort is
once made.

FRIDAY, AUGUST 10, 1913.
THE FRUIT GROWING INDUSTRY.

The present season is proving the
real value Of the Rogue valley as q
fruit producing district. With the
methods for the protection OF the
crop there ia assured a good yield
every season. and while the apple
crop may alternate heavy yields with
lighter ones, the lighter yield is Of
ten the one with the greater profit.
The valley is not a one-crop district.
In the production OF the peach and
the pear II bears Just as great a dis
tinction as It does In the production
OF the apple, and the peach and the
pear know few years when the yield
10 light. The sales made on these
two fruits this season through the
medium Of the Growers association
guarantee that the orchardist will
reap rich rewards for his labors, and
the outlook for excellent sales OF the
apple crop Is even better than for
the softer fruits. I..,.t.
Last year, with a record breaking
crop Of apples throughout all the
fruit districts OF the United States,
the Rogue crop suffered with the
rest, but that is condition that oc-
ours only at wide periods On
years when other districts fail to
make good, and that Is the average
year, the Rogue orchardist will come
In strong and make up for the lean
year.
The fact that the Rogue valley
does not put all It's eggs in a single
basket, that It is not a one-crop dis
trict, but that II can produce apples,
peaches, pears or grapes OF premier
quality and assurance OF yield proves
that with better transportation facil-
tiles, II will be the leading orchard
district of the continent.

was started last fall when the city

and II there is no faltering on this

shackles will be stricken from the
hands of the people.
