LIE GRANTS PASS OBSERVER calls attention to A the neglect of truck fanning in the vicinity of Grants Pass. The same conditions govern at Medford and throughout the Roinie River Valley. With the richest and most productive soil in the world, with an ideal cli mate, with instant response by nature to every effort made in cultivation, we are too lazy, or too shiftless, or too helpless to supply our own necessities. , Says the Observer: "Farm products sell higher in Grants .Pass than in any other market in Western Oregon. The farmers do not produce enough staples to supply the home demand. Many .carloads of hay are shipped to this city from outside points every year. A considerable number of alleged fanners buy hay. The price of hay here today is $20 a ton; and has been so for a year past. Alfalfa flourishes and three or four crops can' be harvested every season. What is the matter with the farmers, anyhow? "Potatoes grow luxuriantly, but for the most part dealers handle the Willamette valley product. The price here is exceptionally good. Never less than $1.25 a hundred, even when the same potatoes arc selling north at '10 cents. Yet the farmers do not commence to grow enough of them to supply the local market. "Nearly all grain used here for feed is brought in from outside the district. "This is a district of forest, and wood is a burden on the land. Yet fir stove wood sells for $7.50 a cord, and a portion of it is imported. With the most magnificent timbei' area in the world, perhaps, lumber is being brought here from the outside. "Until a few years ago, most of the butter consumed in Grants Pass was brought in from the north, but three creameries now nearly meet the requirements. Eastern eggs are still sold here. "Meat is brought here in the carcass from Portland. "Kruit is the only product that relieves the situation. Standard fruits are in abundant supply, at satisfactory prices. Rerries fairly meet the demand, but they sell at about double the price that is paid in the Willamette valley. "Cultivators of the soil in this district ought, to be getting rich, and many of them are, but there is something wrong when the production is not equal to the local demand." WEST'S PENITENTIARY COUP D fiPEAT of the good roads bill providing for the em plovment of convicts upon highways in the recent session of the legislature, was due principally to the efforts of Lowenberg, Goring & Go., who feared that it would in terfere with their contract for prison labor in the manu facture of stoves. ' Governor West has executed a coup by permitting Lowenberg, Goring & Go. to violate their contract with the state in order that he might declare the contract cancelled or wring from the contractors concessions which will limit the number of convicts they can employ and so permit the use of prisoners upon highways or other out of door work. Governor West has demanded a revision of the con tract as to employment of prisoners with the alternative of rendering the agreement null and void. Under the con tract, the manufacturers were at liberty to demand a mini mum number of 150 convicts or as many more as wanted, thus preventing the state from employing convict labor upon highways. The executive's reform program at the penitent ian consists in a general clean-up, of both men and institution, the construction of a plunge bath and the inauguration ol' hygenic and sanitary regulations heretofore neglected. The prison is to be made spotless, and the governor an nounces that every state institution will in its turn receive his personal attention. FOR CLUSTER LIGHTS 1 UST of the moves toward the city beautiful is the sub stitution of cluster lights on Alain street for over F head arc lights that give at best a spluttering illumination. The city has contracted with the power company to supply the current at a reasonable figure and the cih foots the bill. The property owner is expected to fur nish the posts, which will be manufactured locally anil will cost not to exceed $:i5 per post. Practically all of the progressive cities of the country have adopted this method of illumination. .Medford lags behind the other communities in this regard, having per mitted such smaller rivals as Grants Pass to appear more progressive in the eyes of the stranger. A petition is in circulation for signatures by property owners agreeing to install the cluster lights' on Main street. The posts will be purchased by a committee to be named by the signers. Every owner should see to it (hat his name appeal's upon the list. Cluster light illumination has been endorsed by the Greater Medford Club, by the Medford Commercial Club, and by the various improvement dubs; the city council has made it possible, and it is now up to the Main street prop erty owners to do their part. Pew of them miss a chance to raise rentals. The should be equally progressive in civic improvement and heautification. At am rate, lure is a chance to go on record.
