Officials of tho Tolcdo-Siletz Railroad and Navigntiou company stated toduy that work on tho Silctz division of the proposed lino from Toledo to Dnllus, Or., is to commence within 00 dnys. It, Ss expected that tho lino will bo complotcd within a year after actual construction work is started. Tho capital stock of tho line is plnced at $1,000,000. of the "Abysmal Brute who quit the fighting in disuust, is made to tell what, may be presumed to be iMr. London's THE Mail Tribune is smeerely interested m good roads.; real sentiments concerning a sport crumbling throughout It regards tho movement its vital to tho tuture wel- its own rottenness. ' fare and progress of the county. Yet it believes that time should be taken to carefully outline the proposed program, to ascertain just how much money is needed, what it is needed for and to then ask the required amount. Work cannot be undertaken before spring, so there is no need of haste, or of going about the matter blindly. One thing is certain, full and definate information must bo forthcoming for the voters, not only as to routes, but as to methods and means of construction, where and how the monev is to be expended. A leaf can be taken from the experience of California counties. In San Uicgo, when the good roads agitation started, three of the wealthiest citizens volunteered to act as an advisory or supervisory road committee. They sent to the federal good roads department for an expert, who mapped out tlw highways needed, made preliminary surveys, prepared specifications and estimates of cost Upon these estimates, the county voted the necessary bonds and contracts were let. Jackson county can secure the same assistance from the government or from the National Good Roads Associa tion at nominal cost. There is enough good citizenships to volunteer assistance to the county court. AVe believe that the people will cheerfully vote the needed money, once convinced that the money was to be properly expended in scientific permanent construction. The size of the proposed bond issue need not frighten anyone. A million and a half doUars tor a caunty assessed at '$36,000,000 is not too much. Estimate as to cost, how ever, should govern the size of the issue. A single California county, Los Angeles, litis issued $10,000,000 road bonds Another, Sacramento, issued $0, 000,000. Sau Joaquin county issued $1,890,000 and sold all about $000,000, getting as premium $10a.7.l. Other counties in California have done likewise. The bonds draw 5 per cent, maturing in from 3 to 40 veal's and selling at a premium. The state of California has voted $3S,000,000 for ststte highways, in addition to county expenditures. Pennsylvania is soon to vote on a bond issue of $50, 000,000, for good roads, and all accounts are that it will pass. Alabama has voted bonds for $1,230,000. Colorado proposes an issue of $10,000,000. Connecticut, bv bonds, taxation and otherwise is spend ing $7,000,000. Maryland, -with a bond issue of $5,000,000 and local revenues, is to expend $0,250,000. Massachusetts, by legislative appropriation, licenses and oilier income is to spend $3,300,000. New Jersey, from appropriations and otherwise, is expending $3,800,000. After a bond issue of $50,000,000, New York spent last year $2,500,000 in, state aid and another $2,500,000 from local taxation, and this year appropriates $7,000,000. These are a few instances cited from states that have awakened to the value and necess; v y of good roads. The county lew for roads this year will approximate $125,000. Six per cent interest on $1,500,000 will be $90, 000, which would leave $35,000 for maintance or sinking fund, without any additional taxation. GLAVIS BEGINS " NEW SERVICE i i '; ("" !'

The railroad sent'a sui'veyor to Merlin and anounc ed that the terminal, was to be moved from Grants Pass Panic-stricken the city council at once met and voted to stop the law suit and accept tho previously rejected pro posal made by the company to amicaoiy surrender and eat humble pie. Everyone admires a successful bluffer and all hats are doffed to General Manager O'Brien. But why doesn't he carry out his announced intention and move the ter minal from Grants Pass? The reasons all hold good. What more fitting place for the terminal could be sel ected than Mcdfordl A vigorous red-blooded town that always gives the railroad a square deal and fights hard for its own rights? Why two terminals in the Kogue Kiver V alley t Aiovo the shops and division headquarters to Medford, the logi cal point. It is a common sense proposition that must appeal to every hard-headed railroad man. Why not, Mr. U'isrienY A SATURDAY ISSUE.
