OREGON WEATHER
RESULT oE-- CONSTRUCTIVE
BONDING.
tMedford Mail-Tribune.)


tMedford Mail-Tribune.)
Grants Pass bonded itself for
100000 to build ten miles of rail-
road--then presented the railroad as
q bonus for an extension o total dis
tance of forty miles to the mineral
belt.
These bonds cost the people Of
Grants Pass $4,000 year taxes as
interest on the bonds. Let us see
some Of the results secured by the
issuance OF these bonds, as claimed
by interested parties for this year.
There will be shipped over this
railroad from mines. which probably
would not otherwise be operated 200
cars Of copper ore. valued at
$4,000.
There will be manufactured s.
100000 feet of lumber, 400 cars,
costing IS per 1000 feet to produce.
or $4,000 payroll for the city.
There viii also be cut and shipped
100000 feet OF logs, which. at IS
per 1000, are valued at $4,000.
There will be cut and shipped
1000 cars of fuel wood, 10000
cords. which at 50 per cord for cut
ting is $4,000.
There win be produced from land
along the railroad 1000 acres Of
sugar beets, or $4,000.
1t is also claimed that the rail-
road brought the sugar factory.
100000 investment. Of which $780,
900 represents labor.
The extension of the road twenty
five miles. at an average cost OF $780,
900 per mile. means a 100000 in
vestment.
This program OF one years de-
velopment is due to the new railroad
Grants Pass started. Similar devel-
opment would be recorded elsewhere
If other needed branch railroads were
constructed in southern Oregon.
The shame of 1t all is that cities
have to bond themselves to build
needed branches to develop the coun-
try and furnish tonnage for the
Southern Pacific--a railroad that has
to haul empties throughs country
that its own lethargy, lack OF FORE
sight and enterprise has left unde-
veloped.

GERMAN SISTERS ORDERED
FROM MARSHALL ISLANDS

San Francisco, Mar. 2S.-Because

Roman Catholic sisters Of charity who

ordered to leave their post and re-
turn to America. They are here to-

TOURIST TRAVEL IN 1915.

Reports from all sources of in
formation regarding the probable
tourist travel the coming season Is
that 1t will be much larger even than
It was last year. II will also be more
within the true definition OF tourist
travel. Last year the Panama Pacific
exposition was the Mecca of practical
ly all travel, and the tourists were
simply hitting the high spots in their
haste to get to or from San Francisco.
The average party had little time for
the many side trips that we're pos
sible, and this year they are coming
back to see the things they missed.
The fame of the west has gone
abroad, and during the past winter,
as tales OF the trip to the fair have
been told, plans for the other and
more comprehensive trip have been
laid. This year the people are COM
ing to see the west. Crater Lake,
the Josephine Caves, the giant red
woods, the beach at Crescent City,
the wonders Of the Rogue, and espe-
cially the fishing Of the Rogue. now
made famous by the Saturday Even
ing Post, will be the reasons for the
trip through this portion OF the west.
