It is, without exception, the best piece of roadwork in Oregon, and stands as an enduring monument to the enterprise and energy and stamina of the people of Medford. It is a sufficient answer to the mossbacks of Oregon whoso shortsighted, reactionary policy prevented the state from making accessible its greatest natural wonder. This stretch of highway is our road. We, the progres sive people of Jackfeon county built it. Therefor we aro proud of it. The road is 2.7 miles in length and has eli minated the greatest obstacle to Crater Luke travel. Pumice hill. A wide, smooth boulevard of easy grade has been cut through the solid rock of a precipitous mountain side, replacing an almost impossible grade, in places as great as 36 per cent, always knee deep in pumice dust. No one who contributed his mite to build this road can travel it without a sense of pride. The work has been well done, along broad lines. Engineer B. P. ITeidel of the governmentgood roads bureau, who did the engineer ing, Contractor Natwick, who struggled along on hand to mouth basis doing a creditable work under difficul ties, Colonel F. H. lay and the banks who underwrote the subscriptions and the county court under whose aus pices the section was completed, all have, reason to be proud of the result of their efforts. This section of highway is only a start towards what will ultimately be the finest road in America, equal, in scenic effects to any in the world. It marks the awaken ing of Oregon to the commercial as well as aesthetic value of its natural wonders and beauty spots an awakening pioneered by Medford. But more than all this, this bit of highway is the best example of the Medford spirit the spirit that knows no obstacle to balk its creative energy that pulls unitedly for the common good. Some three years ago, Medford started its Crater Lako highway effort We enlisted every one that we could in the campaign. We sought co-operation of state and na tional governments. We talked Crater Lako so much at the legislature that the august assemblage set aside $100,000 for the road. The Salem hog, who wants all state money for Salem, enjoined the appropriation, and the supreme court sustained the injunction. Then we started the popular subscription, and raised some $25,000, all but $2000 or .$3000 in Medford. The entire route was surveyed, the contract was lot. the subscriptions under written, and this section of the road finished. Governor West proposes to utilize state prisoners in constructing a state highway from Salem to Portland. There is noreason why some of these prisoners should not be utilized in constructing the state highway to Crater Lake. This is a practical way to secure the build ing of the highway at slight cosf. Crater Lake belongs to the nation and to Oregon. It was set. aside bv congress ttnd. dedicated "as a national play ground to the people of the United States and their descendants, forever," and the people of the state as well as. the people of Medford and Jackson" county, should share in the making accessible of this region of great na tural beauty to the end that a never ending stream of humanity, attracted by the serene and mystic beauty of this greatest of natural wonders, may wind its way through Oregon. Optimism and Team Work (By William Parker.) All of the great builders and pro moters of the world are optimists. This is true of every age and every country, as it is true tcday. If you cannot see big things in tho future of your town, then step back into the ranks. To be a leader you must bo an optimist. If you are an optimist, you have the basic qualities for lead ership. Optimists are essentially big men. Men can make themselves big ger by becoming more optimistic. Community optimism is Cn.scntiul to large community growth. If a stran-' ger looking for a location should land in your town and see only gloomy faces and hear only pessimistic talk, he would very likely take the first train out. Location seekers nic io-i'k-ing for growing spots, for '.owns thil have "go" in them. It is not neces sary that you should have d lot of skyscrapers and big fucinriei umicr construction to show to the loculiou seeker in order tonttract dim. Itemember, it is men thai make the cities'. The manufucairer who is worth getting to your town knows this. lie wants to' locate among peo ple who have optimistic vitiws. If lie is a business man worth' having in your midst, he is too wiso" to loctitu among pessimists. One good opti mist will oiitwiegll a ImrulreJ pessi mists with the wise locatiou-seckrr. This men lis that you deed not despair because there are pessimists in your towii. Every town has thorn. Thuv ure necessury. They are the gov ernors on the engine. Optimists are the rest of the engine and li fitcniri. Team work is absolutely and posi tively tie'cssnry 'to tho g'owth 'of every largo, undertnktii','. Whether it is private dr public business, if it re quires tho work of more than o'ne man, this implies the absolute neces sity of team work. Team work ulolio can build towns into great cities. Ope good optimistic booster can brijig enough yital force into team work to push 'a jown forward. A few enor getio optinnsls, with team work idea fixed (m their minds, can briig into' action enough ' vitul force to move the dullest and deadest towti into life nnd growth. All that re mains for them to attain the desircl end is intelligence 'and proper plans to engage the aroused activities. J? you have no commercial club of some sort, then the very first thing to do is to form one. The next thing is to tell it as far and as wide as you can that your own is up and doing an J on its way to greatness. YouK grout task then is to attract sufficiently to your town. You can do this only through intelligently directed public ity. Do your share in publicity work by subscribing to the Medford Commer cial club fund. TELEGRAPHIC TABLOIDS. SPOKANE, Wash.

NEW GRADE DELIBHTS Alt Section of Crater Lnko HlQhwny Built by Popular Subscription, Pronounced tho Best of Pleco o( Road Work-In Orcnoti. Members of tho party that visited l'rospoet Sunday as iriiest of Colonel Frank 11. Hay, nr loud in thvir praises of that' section ot the Orator lake' highway built by popular sub soriptiou through the Medford Com uierciul club. Thuy proiiouuuu it uitliout inception, thu finest piece of road construction in thu statu and the greatest improvement yut utiulu in the roads of thu county. It is UO foot in width, '2.7 tuilos in length, has i maximum grude of 4 per cent, and can be traversed at u swift pacu by either auto or team. It has entirely changed tho, trip to thu lako by re moving its greatest obstacle the I'limico hill grade. Generally speaking, tho road to the lake was never in suuh good shnH as at present, though cut up badly in newly graded and pumice ht retches by thu heavy teaming done Tor tho I'rusjK'ol power plant. Supervisor Grieved has just fin. ished a section of new road extend ing through the forest to Skookum gorge, about four miles from- l'ros peot. Tho forestry service has rebuilt tho worst parts of . tho highway through tho forest reserve, ami cut away the brush. Contractor Xnt wick has established it camp near Elk creek luul bus the coulrnut for straightening and widening u mile of the worst part of tho road between Trail and Knynrl's. In the national park, Superintendent Arrant is busy overhauling the road. Preparations for the care of tour ists nro better tha never. Accom modations can be secured at Allen's or Middlobusl's il Trail, at Knyurt's, near tho mouth Of Itig Butte, at the Prospect hotel and in the park and at the lake. DERBY-ROGUE ROAD FIHISHED i First County Highway Showing Signs of Engineering Skill, Completed Easy Curves and Slight Grades Shortens Distance to Upper Rogue. The new Derby road between eight and nine miles in length extending from Derby to tho Itoguo river, and crossing tho latter with. a new steel bridge ut thu mouth of Big Butte, has been completed, and bids fair to be come one of the finest roads in tho county. Easy curves and slight grades prevail. It is wide enoligh to allow two teams to pass and is tho only rond yet constructed by tho county which shows engineering preparations. The new grade is largely through rock und is rough for travel in its present statu on account of thu sharp broken rock, but it is tho in tention of the county to roll it, whiuh will give it a smooth surface. Heavy teatning, which is now being douo for the Prospect power plunt, will also tend to make a smoother surface. The contractor who built this sec tion has also been awarded the con tract for rebuilding a uiilo of thu' worst section of road between Kagla Point and Derby., dhd Is now at work a few miles this Hide of, Derby, Tho Derby roud will shorten tho distance to Prosjicct approximately five miles.
