No mutter how hmh tlio plniii, how slight the rainfall, how scanty and thin the soil, there' is growing some where upon the earth's surface, under similar conditions, plants which flourish. It is Oregon's' problem to find these plants and to grow them. j The great trouble with Oregon has been the failure to apply scientific knowledge and modern methods to ag riculture. Iftirmcrs have- insisted upon methods and crops success! ul in wet countries and those of average rainfall for arid prairies and elevated plateous. Methods used I successfully at sea level are applied to regions of tour or( five thousand feet elevation. Attempts are persistently! made to grow crops unfitted for conditions. .New methods must be practiced to suit environments! before success will crown the efforts of the grower and render returns a certainty. To learn these methods and to ascertain these crops is the great Oregon problem. The people that are now flocking into Oregon, parti cularly into Central Oregon, are wideawake, aggressive and progressive. They are willing to adopt the most mod ern and improved methods. All they want is instruction in what methods and crops are needed. The furnishing of this information is the real development of Oregon. THE RAILROAD STRIKE. HOTEL MOORE European.

AFTER, matured deliberation shopmen of the Harrinian lines are out on strike: The principal grievance seems to be the refusal of the railway chiefs to recognize the new system federation of the labor leaders. The public of course will be the chief sufferer by the strike. It is between two contending forces, and when I ramie fails to move, the public, rather 'than the railroad, is the chief loser but neither side is the least concerned about the public. It would seem that the labor chiefs have used very poor judgment in bringing about a strike at this time. A hard winter is ahead, work is not overpleiitiful, there are a cou ple of men for every job, and wages are going down rather than up. While times the country over are not hard, they are dull, and far from booming. I k -a- l Jt a Wr nn li-axaaaitakf-! n.i it it n. .

JOSEPHINE MAY BOND FOR ROADS m fci i ' ' Movement Launclied to Have Nclgh i '.if' uorinn County Cunstruct Modem Highway from Grants Pass to the Del Norte Line (Portland Journal.) Jackson county has given a re markable Illustration of public in terest In good roads. Tho bond Is- suo of $1,500,000 was approved by tho county electorate by a majority of 1G50 votes. 1 1t is a splendid manifestation or public spirit. If half a million dol lars had been voted. It would havo been a strong demonstration of good roads enthusiasm. A voto of a mil lion would have been an issue beforo which much larger Oregon counties would havo hesitated. The fact that tho figures arc $1,500,000, and that the majority is so largo are big facts iu contemplation of tho electorate's action. At $3000 per mile, the sum is suf ficient to build 200 miles of first class' road. The last ccn3U3 gives tlio population of tho county as 25, 75C. Tho taxr.blc property In 1910 was $24,290,904. Tho population, tho property valuation and the bond Issue cr road purposes arc testimon ial lo the Jnclson county Biirltaraiid cvldcnco of a strong public senti ment for local progress. The vote will bring to an issue the question of whether the road bond ing amendment to tho constitution is self-acting. If opposing citizens of Jackson county uo not tent tho valid ity of tho Isiuo, tho bond buyers will, and wu shall soon know tho status of the case. Jackson county authori ties have strong assurance that the bonds will be hold valid under the constitutional amendment. Those in authority In tho county will doubtless tnko caro to get $1 worth of good roads for each 100 cents opened. Los Angeles failed to do that and is now paying tho pen alty in costly repairs for new high ways, charges of officials, negligence and discriminations and recrimina tions. Jackson county, as tho acknowl edged leader of the good rendu move ment In Oregon, and as leader In many other things should avoid such an outcome. Such an avoidance will bo helpful to road sent'tnent nnd road builders In other parts of the stnto.

NEW REVOLUTIONARY PARTY IN MEXICO 1 MKXICO '(JITY, Oct. fi.ErPai hiij, llio lending Catholic newspaper here, publishes tin extra today tiu jiUmiciln;,' the 'eKtubluihmeut of the lieudqututei'H of a, now revolutionary party n.

The een trificn party, the great Catholic rev olutiomiry organization in1 said to be hacking the revolt which is fcchedulcd lo slnrl on December 1. IlnBklns for Health. (Tho Orcgonlan.) ' Jackson county has pointed tlio way to other counties In the good roads movement. While tho gover nor and the legislature havo been ar guing about ? now road law and the conditions under which an extra ses sion should bo called to pass It, Jackson 'county has gouo ahead to make the best of tho present law and by a majority of moro than two to ono has voted $1,500,000 In bonds to begin tho work. The voto by precincts Is signifi cant of tho condition of public opin ion of good roads. Tho largest ma jorities arc In tho largest centers of population, Medford loading tho way with a majority of 1378 out of a total of 1G38, Jacksonville following with 191 to 31, and so on. Ashland was tho only largo town opposing tho bonds, tho anti-bond prccclncts being mostly small rural sottlemcntB. Good roads will chiefly benefit tho rural districts, but tho demand for thorn Is most vociferous In tho tovns. ""yVW expenditure of 'tho money will havo much to do with tho spread of tho county bonding movement. Jackson county will need expert en gineering skill to doV.'so a goncral system of roads, to select the best materials and supcrvlso construction Kvery locality will pull for roads for Itself to bo built first, but tho coun ty should not allow politics or local considerations to prevent ad he retire to a plan which will open up every section with duo regard to its Iru portanco nnd make tho main roads connect with those of adjoining counties, thus creating a network to coyer the state. Other counties should follow the example inako tho best of tho good roads under it. All should con- tlnuo to work for a better law, but not wait until It comes. If wo go ahead now and show what can bo done nnd how good nro tho results, wo shall win over many of tho actlvo or passlvo opponents of tho mov incnt and shall gain experience which will be valuable in drafting a now law.
