appear to be perfectly sure that-after
that experience the work OF gaining a
better understanding of God and His
government will continue until per

convinced the writer that too much
dependence has ben put upon land
sales and not enough attention given
TO solid development. Land sales
contribute little to permanent pros
perity. The same effort used in
bringing about conditions that will
make production profitable will ere
ate vastly more prosperity in the val
ley.
Public sentiment should be exer-
cised in such way as to force the
land not suitable for fruit culture
back into uses for which it is adapt-
ed. About the best thing that could
happen in this valley is to put a sign
up and keep it there on every piece
of land to which it would amply:
This land will not produce fruit
profitably." Such would have the
effect to knock an inflated value out
of it and put it to a price so that
it could be profitably employed in
SOlho OIueI use. Al I0lS the land
CRATER would howl, but the i'll eff
feet on the community coming from
those who have been taken in on
such grounds would be overcome and
the valley would better prosper and
have less enemies and knockers.
These things contribute materially to
blight or brighten the development
of community and because of that
the faces of those who expect to re-
side here permanently should be set
like flint against land exploitations.
The man who sets the stamp of dis
approval on such manipulation in
way to stop it is not knocker but
true booster. No community can
grow on Misrepresentation and graft.
There should be a "blue sky" law
against it, and when such is lacking
every true citizen should become a
blue sky law unto himself in the
interest of all.

FEARS ARE UNFOUNDED
New SiskiyOu Highway Will Not Run
East of Pilot Rock, as Ranch
men Were Led to Believe.

Medford Sun: The complaints
made by the ranchers in the Siski-
you mountain district concerning the
route of the new California-Oregon
highway are without grounds, ac-
cording to j. S. Howard, the veteran
surveyor. The ranchers thought that
the road would pass to the east of
Pilot Rock, many miles from civil
ization, but instead it will pass to
the west of the rock and not over a
mile and a half from the present
toll station.
According to the present plans, the
new road will leave the old one at
Barron, Ore. 1t will run a short dis
tance west of the old road until it
reaches Steinman, where it crosses.
From this point till it reaches Hit
the new road will be east of the old
road the entire distance. Working
slowly upward the road strikes a
long ridge and with a grade that in
no place exceeds per cent attains
the top of the Siskiyous. At this
point it is only a short distance from
Pilot Rock and from the ranches to
the west. Then taking again the
long slope of a ridge the road de-
scends to Hit, crossing the Califor-
nia-Oregon state line about a mile
from the old road.
While the old road has grades of
nearly 20 per cent, the steepest
grade on the new one will be only
6 per cent. The course is also short
ened considerably.
j. S. Howard, the father of Med
ford and veteran surveyor of south
ern Oregon, returned last night from
the survey and announced the route.

borhood are offering advice and en-
couragement. There should be a
large attendance at this meeting.
The necessity for organized effort is
eminent. The local market problem
is being considered and no doubt
matters of interest connected with
that will be discussed.
Do not forget the Saturday

GREEN SPRINGS GRADE.

The county judge of klamath
county has written to Judge Tou-
Velle urging Jackson county to CO.
operate with the people of klamath
county in establishing highway COM
munication between Jackson and
klamath counties.
The klamath county court has al
ready done a lot of work on the
Green Springs road as far as the
Jackson county line and is anxious
to have this county make a splendid
road to meet theirs. The people of
klamath county fully realize what
valuable asset the full development
of this road will be in establishing
natural commercial intercourse be-
tween the Klamath country and the
Rogue River Valley. The Green
Springs road is next in Importance
TO the Pacific highway. The Klam-
ath country is a big consumer of
the produce of the Rogue River VAL
ley. Much of the grain, potatoes and
flour used here comes from that
country. Because of the roundabout
railroad route the distance is great
and freight rates are high. 1t is a
thoroughly practical thing to freight
from here into klamath county if
the grade was improved so as to
make autotruck transfer practicable.
Soon the Southern Pacific Company
would reduce it's freight rate between
these points enough so that the saw
ing would quickly pay the cost of the
road improvement and we would be
put in easy trade touch with that
country.
The improvement of the Green
Springs road will help the whole val
ley. 1t is strictly a community high
way, but because it is an eastern
Jackson county road the people ur
here will accept its improvement as
their share of the bond benefits, il
the bonds carry. The people in the
east end of Jackson county want that
road improved and will be satisfied
with nothing less. If provision is
made in the county court order for
the bond election that fifty thousand
dollars be appropriated to the i'm
provement of the Green Springs road
the people in this end of the county
will be satisfied.

The Glacial Epochs.

Several times in recent years it has
been observed that great explosive
volcanic eruptions Krakatoa. Pele,
KatmaD by charging the upper atmos-
phere In the isothermal region with
fine dust have markedly diminished
the amount Of solar radiation received
at the earth's surface. 1t seems evi.
dent. according to Professor W. ].
Humphreys. that the effect Of this
process must be to reduce the temper.
ature Of the air near the earth. since
the dust scatters great amount of
the solar radiation. Thus a period of
excessive volcanic activity, If long con.
tnued, would produce the thermal
conditions of an ice age. The geolog-
ical record is said to furnish evidence
that such period actually began
shortly before the last ice age and has
continued with diminishing intensity
to the present time.
