JACKsoN's GOOD EXAMPLE.

The people OF Jackson county are
to be congratulated upon the vote by
which they authorized the issuance
of half a million of bonds for the
building Of system Of highways
throughout the county. II is expect
ed that the bonds can be placed as
they are needed TO prosecute the
work, the bond market having
shown some Improvement during the
past few weeks. The good work
started by Jackson should be main
tained through all OF the counties
of the west side till the Pacific High
way is a paved boulevard from Cali
fornla TO Washington. California
has appropriated funds for the
building Of the highway, and Wash
ington has already constructed much
of the road within her own state.
The greatest expense for the travel
er by automobile is in the wear and
tear on tires, and the life of a tire
on smooth roads will be much great
er than on the present rough roads.
The cost of good highways will be
returned many times over to the
community through which they pass
before the first bond becomes due.

The determination with which
Grants Pass went out after a railroad
was made plain BY the twenty TO one
vote with which she gave endorse
ment to the bonding proposition. The
sentiment OF the people Is unchang-
ed, and there is no doubt whatever
about the outcome Of the next cleo
tion. But that It should carry by a
strong majority is not sufficient
One OF the attractive features of the
coast road idea to the investor has
been the splendid endorsement Civ

cast against 1t now than was given

that will influence the financing Of

PULLING THE STOPPER.

In the effort Of the people of

here TO Crescent City put in the best
possible shape, there Is no attempt
to discredit the present Pacific High
way. Josephine county has taken the
lead IN maintaining the Pacific High
way In perfect condition, and will
continue to do so. The portion Of
the Highway 70 the Jackson county
line is much better than that be-
yond, and no traveller over the High
way will ever have cause for COM

wanting in this regard. But We have

being repaired as rapidly as they can
get the necessary funds. The work
ordered on the Williams valley road
will remedy the only bad place on the
route to the Marble Caves. and that
on the Crescent City road will put the
Josephine portion Of the route to the
coast in excellent repair. The policy
here is not to exploit a single re-

THE PUBLIC MARKET AGAIN.

The only successful public mar
ket, as has been demonstrated time
and again by the experience oil
many cities, is that which permits
the producer and the consumer to
deal with one another at first hand
and without the assistance OF mid
die man. This is the prime advant-
age Of the public market. 1t is this
arrangement that assures the grow
ar the immediate cash for what he
cells and likewise assures the con-
sumer the best that is grown for his
money. The only man between who
has any business in the game is a
possible keeper of the market
place. and he can be dispensed with
on all except the market days. Two
or three days a week at the most
could be set aside for market days,
and the bulk OF the marketing would
he done within a few hours in the
morning OF those days.
Medford's city market was or
ganlzed through the action of the
city council. At Ashland the COM
merclal organization lent its assist
ance It would seem to be up to the
council in Grants Pass to take ac-
tlon, for there is a present demand
for the market To know that this
ia true, one has but to talk with the
housewives who are the most in
slstent in the demand for the mar
ket. The local merchants give as
good service as is possible with the
present system in vogue, and ex-
perience proves that the merchants
are benefited and not injured by the
market system. More growers are
attracted to the city, more business
is transacted, and the farmer has
the cash to pay for his goods. Most
merchants are not situated so that
they can properly handle the heter-
ogeneous mass Of stun that is thrown
at them in settlement of an account,
or in trade for tin money. Only
Monday a dog passing down the
street was seen to violate the laws
OF decency and cleanliness when he
arrived in front OF store where
melons we're piled upon the walk.
The dog passed on a few steps and
repeated the infraction This is an
authentic case. Before now these
melons have probably been served
upon the table Of some refined and
scrupulouslv clean housewife. This
proves another demand for the pub
lie market Let us have the public
market
