A WORTHY PROJECT.

The movement inaugurated by II.
II. Leavitt to encourage the raising
OF sugar cane in and around Ash
land. and the manufacturing OF cane
syrup, is a highly commendable one,
and should meet with enthusiasm.
Mr.. Leavitt demonstrated on his own
property that first class product
OF amber sugar cane can be raised
in Southern Oregon Moreover, he
raised quantity OF seed which he
will distribute free to any who wish
to secure il and make the experiment
of raising cane. The fact that sugar
cane has been successfully raisel
elsewhere in the state has led Nj
Leavitt to make this trial In Ash
land. and his experiment succeeded
beyond his expectations.
Mr.. Leavitt. however, does not stop
with giving out the free seed. He
also offers a prize OF S. for the best
cane syrup made from home grown
sugar cane and placed on exhibition
at the next session Of the Ashland
Winter Fair. II palatable syrup can
be- made from sugar cane grown at
home It is a project worthy OF con-
,ideration and AIR. Leavitt deserves
much credit for his enterprise In in
lugurating the movement.

Mrs. Kinney follows: Feeble-mind-

"The great mass of mental defec-
tives inherit their feeble-minded-
ness" said Mrs. Kinney in her argu-
ment. Sometimes detectives occur
in healthy, normal families, but au-
thorities agree that two-thirds of ail
feeble-minded persons are victims o..
bad heritage from their parents, who
themselves are not well born. Every
feeble-mInded person is a potential
criminal. Unable. to distinguish
right from wrong, they drift into
crime or pauperism."'

ate in every way with the proposed
plan. Homeseekers rates which were

ber that the Union Pacific would co.
operate In every way possible in the
proposed plan and that the home
seekers rates had been put into eff
feet on the Union Pacific line serving
Oregin.
Taking advantage OF these rates,
which permit OF stOp-overs on any
point enroute, the party of home
seekers would arrive in Oregon. the
rail trip coming to an end at the
most advantageous point From that
point personally conducted tour
over the entire state by automobile
would begin.
The routing Of the party through
the state would be in the hands of a
committee from the State Chamber
This committee would select the most
favorable itinerary which would en-
able the settlers to investigate the
wool and wheat growing sections, ir-
rigated lands, fruit districts, and oil
the agricultural and industrial re
sources of the state. Great care
would be used in selecting this itih-
erary, so that every representative
district OF the entire state would be
covered by the party in the shortest
space of time consistent with a
thorough investigation.
