OFFERS HOGS TO UNCLE
SAM FOR SECURITY.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-"All |
want is $4,000. Lend me this amount
and you will not have any trouble
getting it back The hogs and land
| own will provide ample security"
This request was voiced in a letter
received here today by Secretary of
the Treasury MacVeagh from a man
of Scottsburg, Va.
The government" said Mac
Veagh is not in the hog business. I
do not think its vaults will swing
open for the Virginian."

acres representing this area from
which the brush and trees had been
removed by the men now at work.
The clearing outfit is now working
beyond the fourth mile, with seven
teen men on the payroll. These men
are paid $3.50 per day OF eight hours,
The right Of way is not being cleared
the full 100 feet in width the entire
distance, but every tree is removed
from the necessary width for the
grading that is to follow.

TO establish a cook house and to sup
ply hrst-class board at the rate OF
.seyenty-hve cents per day, While
the labor employed is from Grants
Pass, it was impossible for the men
to go back and forth between the
camp and town every day, the pres
ent camp being over two miles from
town, and It will be moved out to the
five mile post this week.
Bids for the sale of the 100000
bond issue will be opened on the 10th
of February, and as there should be
no delay in this matter there is no
reason why the construction should
not be pressed rapidly, and the road
constructed through to the Apple
gate by midsummer Confidence
and cooperation are the two quail
ties needed The commission is COM
posed of level headed and capable
business men. With them once well
in the harness they can be assured Of
both the confidence and the co-opera-
ton of the public in carrying on the
work so well started by the directors

ROGUE RIVER CLIMATE.

The people Of southern Oregon are
spoiled They have become frettn;
and impatient when the weather man
drops a part Of his oyer-supply Of
weather down upon the sunny
Rogue river valley. All parts of the
country have entertained the frost
king till he has worn out his welcome
this season, and the Rogue valley Is
fortunate that It has escaped with a
mere call. We have come to expect
perfect weather conditions We for
get that the economy OF nature
there is demanded a certain amount
Of moisture, and that It must come
in the form OF rain or snow. The
thought of those golden and undim-
med days of last spring and last sum
mer and last fall make the few days
Of winter seem like an eternity, ard
the pessimist fails to see the bess-
ings that are at his hand
Recently a train load of excursion
lists from the Canadian country to
the north stopped in Grants Pass for
a half hour. An inch of snow en-
crusted the Rogue valley, and the
pessimlst was bewailing the fact that
the sun was not shining and the
snow was not melting A prosperous
looking gentleman with the silken
badge OF Alberta pinned to his coat
descended from the train and drink
ing in a great draught Of the refresh
ing atmosphere, the salted breeze
from the coast mingled with that OF

panion, Isn't that air something
great?" Our pessimist had not
thought OF that
Less than week later a second
excursion train lay at the depot, this
time treighted with men and women
from the Puget Sound country. A
recent fall of snow was becomine
slop under foot, and the pessimist
was there with his wall. An excur
slonlst from Seattle looked only at
tine glorious hills. sparkling with
frost-laden pines, and remarked

Senator Smith has introduced a
bill in the state senate amending the
law fixing the salaries of the officials
of the county of Josephine so that the
sheriff can receive ten cents per mile
for each mile travelled in serving pa
pers in civil cases, and providing that
the same shall be paid him in advance
by the parties requiring the service
and that said sum shall be taxed as
costs in said civil cases.

Instead of being a blessing to
mankind, the salmon of the Rogue
are a pestilence and a menace to
health with the river closed to com
mercial fishing. The state and the
national government continue lc
spend good money to hatch out more
salmon and turn them loose in
stream already too full of them. This
is one of its resources that the state
has deliberately destroyed. The riv-
er should be opened in a way that all
the people who live along it can reap
some of its benefits. A bill opening
it only at the mouth will be ve.oei
by the governor without question

DEADLOCK UNBROKEN.

WASHINGTON, Jan 29.-By a tie
vote the democratic and progressive
members this afternoon forced post
ponement of an executive session of
the senate to break the deadlock in
cidental to the holding up by the
democrats of the Taft nominations
The senate then began consideration
of the educational bill.

timent. and the opposition can be
met with a solid front
The creation Of the separate judio-
ial district is supported by pretty
unanimous sentiment. but that is
about as far as the unanimity goes.
The support is shot full Of holes when
the method and the manner Of max
ing the district is discussed. One
man will support the measure If his
choice for judge is named in the bill,
another wants the governor TO be un-
Ihampered in naming the officials OF
the district, and others want the bill
passed with the officials TO be named
lin the election to be held in 1914.
That the district should be created
is pretty generally endorsed. But
the creation OF the district will sure
Ily fail II these differences Of opinion,
actuated In the main by personal
jealousies, are allowed to stand in
the way. The creation Of this separ-
ate district Is a matter of more mo-
ment to the great body of citizens
than to the legal fraternity The ex-
Ipense Of litigation is always met by
the individual, and the burdens that
necessarily follow the present sys-
TEN do not come upon the attorney
but upon the client who pays the bill.
There are numerous lawyers in the
city who would fill the judicial bench
creditably and with dignity and exact
Justice, and all the general public
asks is that the district be created
and one of these lawyers be given the
ermine. II these attorneys can not
settle their differences otherwise, let
them ballot among themselves and
the people will accept their verdict.
Then in 1914 the attorneys can ac-
cept the peoples verdict
The demand for a separate judic-
/ ial district does not come from
any dissatisfaction with the admin
istration Of Judge Calkins, for not
word has been uttered against that
worthy and capable official But ta.
system that ties Josephine on to the
tail Of jackson kite and that makes
the administration Of justice cumber-
some and expensive is what is aimed
at The small added expense of the
new district will be saved many times
over in reduction of costs to liti-
gants.
There is no occasion for not sup
porting the bill introduced by Mr..
Blanchard providing for municipal
control Of utilities The citizens by
practically unanimous vote have ask
ed for the bond issue and the rail-
road This bill simply makes the
municipal ownership and control OF
the road a little simpler and safer.

WESTON NORMAL ABOLISHED.

SALEM, Jan: 29.-The Weston
State Normal school in Umatilla

presented in the house today by
Hinkle and the buildings and about
ten acres of property decided to the

SUPPORTING COMMERCIAL FISH.

ING.
Word from Salem is to the effect
that the Josephine county delegation.
consisting of Messrs. Flanagan. Hale.
Anderson, Calvert and voorhies. is
on the ground and aiding Senator
Smith and Representative Blanchard
in the promotion of sentiment toward
the opening of the Rogue to CONNER
.cial fishing. It is likely that the bin
passed by the legislature two years
ago but vetoed by the governor will
be put through the joint meeting of
the house and senate committees. and
win be recommended for passage.
This will open the river to Grants
Pass Senator Smith writes that un-
less such bill is passed none what
ever will get through the senate. The
attempt Of the monopoly at the mouth
of the river to have the river opened
only for its benefit is not meeting
with favor though Nedford has a
large delegation at the capital favor

JOSEPHINE is IN LINE

The proposed establishment of a
poultry demonstration farm in the
Rogue valley should meet the hearty
endorsement of all Southern Ore
gon Conditions here are entirely
different than they are in any other
portion of the state. The climate is
adapted to the industry, much more
so in fact than is the climate of the
Willamette where the central farm
will be established in connection with
the Agricultural college. The Rogue
valley has less rain, and the soil is
such that it readily dries, there being
little mud even in the wettest period
of the year.
This difference of conditions as
they affect the growth of fruit and
grain crops was recognized by the
state when It established an agricul-
.tural and horticultural experiment
station in Jackson county, and Jose
phines claim to the poultry farm
should be at once recognized.

THE RAILRoAp sIruArIoN.

Some confusion seems TO oil IN,
public mind regarding the railroa'
situation as 1t now affects the city 0
Grants Pass. Various survey line
have been run, and grade stakes ar,
now seen in every direction that on'
may 30.
Three separate and distinct pro
jects have been surveyed either from
or through this city during the pas
four months and a fourth projecr
now has It's men In the field and vii

the most prominently before the
people is the Pacihc-lnterior. This "a

corporation papers for this company
were filed with the secretary of state
In October although the surveyors
and promoters had been working up
on the project since last March The
route of this line extends IN the
coast from Port Orford to Bandon

then follows the Rogue through Ga.

Articles Of incorporation Of tn,
Portland q San Francisco Coas

Oregon, and Del Nortc county Cali
iornia The first unit runs from
Grants Pass through Slate creek pas
TO tho lllinois valley and to Crescen
city. The second unit will run iron
kerby to the coast at Port Ocfor.
and on north to Marshneld. TIL
third will run from Grants Pass al
the Applegate to Seattle Bar in th
Blue Ledge country, and the iolytI
Is to run from Crescent City up m,
coast to Horbor in Curry county. Thu

Agents Of Both Great Northern and

The report that the two-cent rate

day failed to materialize. No instruc-

changes will take effect. q
The trafnc rates to all intrastate

little time before a change can be
made so that the people from points
