tation. With a Pacific Highway we
could reach the best market right
at our door with auto trucks and
fruit wagons. 1t would not only
give us an outlet for our fruit and
vegetables, but would also give many
man with a team employment.
When we can reach our markets
so close at hand and establish a sale
for what we already raise, then is
the time to talk about irrigation
projects and developing more land
and bringing same under cultivation.
But it seems to me the height of
folly to do so now, when our fruit
growers and vegetable raisers are
letting their stuff rot on the trees
and bushes, holding on to their lit
tie farms with their teeth until some
thing turns up to make things bet
ter.
The writer suggests building troll
ley lines to cross and recross the
valley. Our past experience has
taught us that to build railroads is
hard proposition, especially in
hard times like we have been hav
ing, and when a new railroad is sur
veyed or being constructed the main
or trunk line is built first, and as
the business of the road warrants
same, branch lines are built. So
with a public highway. Let us build
the main road first and then the
branch roads.
Now as to the cost. My friend
probably has never stopped to take
his pencil and figure out what the
increase of our taxes would be,
should the bonds carry. For his in
formation I will state that we have
almost $40,OOO,OOO taxable property
in Jackson county. Should we pay
cash to the amount of the bonds it
would amount to a trifle over one
cent on the dollar, and by adopting
the plans decided on and with our
increase of taxable property each
year the increase of taxes would be
scarcely noticeable.
Now l hope Mr.. Cook will look
into this matter a little more and
come out as a booster for good
roads" and help to carry this issue
by handsome majority and thereby
show to the world that we are alive
and wide-awake and that we invite
them to come to our beautiful valley
that has no equal, instead of voting
down the bonds and say eve don't
want YOU" and thereby lose our
most golden opportunity.
Yours for good roads,

A Sign of Poverty.

They were talking about poverty
few evenings ago, when Congress.

of an impression a man from the
rural wilds once got on visiting the
city.
The ruralite, the congressman said
had gone to the town on a long
anticipated visit, and when he re.
turned he had much to relate OF
city ways and of what he saw.
They put on all kinds of fancy
frills up there" he narrated to the
eager crowd at the corner store
but I don't believe they have got
half the money thep pertend to hev."
"Well, do tell" wonderingly ex-
claimed one of the eager listeners.
"Ye don't really mean it, Jake?"
"Yaas," was the convincing re-
joinder of Jake. "One night l went
by a house that looked purity big,
but jes' ther same there people in it
was so derned poor that two VIM
men was playin'. on one pianner. -

The Rev. Mr.. DOrrance Visited by
Ashland Friends.

In response to long-standing in
vitation, Professor and Mrs. H. 4, G.
Gilmore have visited the Rev. S. M.
Dorrance in his new field of labor at
Central Falls, r. /. The reverend
gentleman was away on much
needed vacation at the seaside (tak-
ing church services on the Sunday,
but the visitors, after an inspection
of the church, the parish house and
the various paraphernalia constitut-
ing a live and progressive parish,
speedily concluded that the Rev. Mr..
Dorrance is far removed from being
an ecclesiastical drone. Mr.. Dor
rance has a mems club of over 100
members, a similar institution for
women, and a bowling alley and
fully equipped stage provides the
means for much social and parochial
good work among wide-awake in
dustrial population. A new church
is to be erected on the site of the
old one, and the congregation is a
unit in believing that no better man
could have been sent to Central
Falls to build up the true interests
of the parish.
So successful are Mr.. Dorrance's
ministrations that, with the supple
mentary services of good choir, the
late-comer at, the morning services,
at least, finds it diffucult matter
to find a seat of any description

express my views on the question of
building a hard-surface road through
our county / do not think it alto
gether a rich mans proposition. We
want the tourists to pass through
our valley, as they leave trail of
cash for supplies at every place they
stop. See Oregon Journal, page 7,
August 26. 1t has been said that
they pass right through and never
stop. Can you blame them, with
Cow Creek canyon on one side, the
Siskiyou mountains and toll road
on the other side and poor roads
between, and in case of a rain on
either pass means hard climbing and
a possible breakdown OF course
they are going to get out as soon as
they can and go where the roads are
good If we have good roads in the
valley and a good hard-surface road
over the mountains some of them
would stay here and see the beauties
of our valley and buy homes here
and help build up our country.
A good hard-surface road will
bring in more outside money than
what it cost to build it. 1t will in
crease the value of land. 1t will
bring more home-seekers, and it will
bring the man with money to de-
velop some of our resources that are
as yet in the rough.
Some say that we need water on
the foothills to make them yield the
richness that is in the soil. | admit
that is true. Let us build the roads
first and then you can find capital
to take hold of anything that would
pay. Who would put money into an
Irrigation project in valley that is
shut off from the outside world
no roads in or out?
To show the world that we have
one of the finest climates in the
world we must have the road.
Not only rich men travel by auto.
Many poor man of moderate means
can own an auto now, and in few
years it will not cost more to own
a car than it will to own horse and
buggy.
What good do the tourists do us
who go through our town by train?
Some of them go on the Shasta linn
tied in the night, and even in the
daytime what can they see? saw
an auto Saturday from Des Moines,
Iowa, going to Sutherlin, where they
had bought property, and they said
that they had passed through this
valley two or three times by train
and that they had no idea that we
had such pretty country.
The writer spent five months in
California last winter and travelled
over 5000 miles by auto, and stayed
in the country where the good roads
were.
Think it over before you vote, and
remember, if we let the state high
way 30 by way of Crescent City and
Grants Pass we will be so miles
from a good road. And remember,
when you build roads for the tourist
you help the farmer, the laboring
man and build up the country.
