F Shields, or the Presbyter ian chnrili, ah pall hourer will be taken to the Plnul ivim-tory for liilernu'iii for road building purposes. The lem'slature was expected to enact an enabling law putting this amendment into effect, so that all counties that desired it, could construct their own highways by bonds. Bills were introduced early in the session by the good roads association., They are actively fought by the state grange lobbyists, who charged that a good roads machine was Ix'ing created. As a result of incessant quarreling and bickering, the last day of the session lound the live good roans measures sun in me nanus ol me cuiiiiiiiiicc&, but so amended as to destroy their uselulness. During the dosing hours, four of the five bills, were, with discordant, clashing provisions, rushed through to linal passage, not half the legislators aware what amend ments had been made. The bills as passed suited no one, neither the grange nor good roads association, and all re quested that they be vetoed. During its 11 days of session, the legislature proved its incapacity to deal with the road problem. There were too many inconsequential, useless bills that came in for first consideration, too much politics to play, too many old scores to settle. If there was any guarantee that the legislature would get down to business, an extra session would be justified, just for good roads. II an extra session were called, however, the enure time would be occupied in considering the governor's man' vetoes and good roads legislation would be neglected, just as it was at the regular session. Governor West would be foolish to call an extra ses sion, unless lixevy member pledged himself before hand to consider only good roads legislation and there is little likelihood of even a majority agreeing to such a pledge. PORTLAND'S HOGGISHNESS. Till Portland Chamber of Commerce is again showing its deep interest and concern in the cities of Oregon by opposing the efforts of Maker City to secure better ircight rates, just as it, opposed the efforts of Medford. If would, not be surprising if the Portland jobbers will inspire a contention made in the name of Pendleton, or La Grande for lower rates in order to injure Baker's hances, just as a contention was filed in behalf of (1 rants Pass, apparently to injure .Med ford's chances. No one ever heard of (I rants Pass entering into a pro longed fight to secure reductions in freight rates. There has been no organized effort made to this end. The fact that, (J rants Pass is endeavoring to take advantage of Alcd lord's initiation and progressivness is news ;ven to most people of G rants Pass. That city has filed no notices, hired no experts, done nothing, and vet we find Grants .Pass butting in without its own knowledge. The Portland Chamber ol Commerce cuts rather a hoggish figure in the eyes of the traffic world. Always contending for lower rates for Portland, it intervenes and attempts to block the efforts of ovovy other city in the northwest, from Spokane to Medford, that seeks lower rates. Portland jobbers do not realize that a greater Oregon cannot be created without creating minor distributing centers, that as they grow, so Portland grows, that jobbing business cannot be done profitably either to the jobber or railroad, where the distributing distance is over tfOO miles. Only as towns like Baker and iMedford grow ami pros per, can Portland prosper in the larger way, only by building up the smaller cities, can a market be found for the products of her factories.

A' MIXTION has been repeatedly called to the disgrace ul appearance oT the Southern Pacific right-of-way through the business section. The tracks ought to be moved to Bear Creek, in the in terests of all concerned. But if they cannot be moved, the right of way in the business sect 'mil should he cleared of rubbish, wood yards, lumber piles, hot dog wagons, rickety warehouses and shacks and be parked. If the entire right of way cannot be improved, at least that portion between Sixth and Might h streets can be. I f the railroad won't do it, the city should, or at least make a start at it. The Southern Pacific is parking a narrow st rip east of the track between the new depot and Main street, and the contrast with the rest of the right-of-way will he so start ling, that it reflects unfavorably upon the coiuinunit which tolerates such conditions. No park the city could buy and improve would he of such advantage t Medford as the parking of this right-of-way. CLUSTER LIGHTS NEEDED. ippomted a, it I 'unfit- in- T uuy one way do the other cities til Oregon contrast 1-UIUIUI-.MOM.1 favorably with Medford, ami that is, in street lighting. Cluster lights have been adopted by Albany, Salem, Kugcui', (J rants Pass and Ashland. Medford is the only city of any size that has failed to keep abreast of thero cesnioii. Needed more than any other one thing to improve the appearance of the city at night, cluster lights, must bo in- aud the sooner the lietter.
