IN SUNNY southern California (hoy are shooting cattle on the ranges to prevent them from starving to death. There has neon hut three inches of rainfall this season and hills, which are usually green hy December, still wear their autumnal brown. Heavy frosts have played havoc with the orange crop both this winter's crop and the next season's, Growers face a water shortage and water famine high' expendi tures small incomes. . Mm To fill the cup of gloom, the tourist crop the main sup port of the country litis been only half the normal, hard times east having cheeked the stream of money dropping travelers. But the patriotism and such that none oL this bad press dispatches carry only torina. Jt is only by word ot mouth or by correspondence that the truth leaks out. In public spirit southern California is a model for the world. It would have the world always believe that its business and commercial skies are as blue as the heavens above it that the sun always shines in material as well as physical affairs. This is written to contrast conditions in southern Cali fornia with those in the "Rogue river valley and the con trast in natural advantages is always with the Roguo river valley section. Barring two or three months when the rain that south ern California always needs so badly, is falling here, there is as much sunshine here as in California. There is less monotony and more variety but these are as much needed to keep the human body in healthy condition as to keep the landscape beautiful and they give the valley a charm Tt is far easier to make valley than it is in California, tion. The soil is more fertile tainty. It is not necessarv to anything at all, though it every one utilized water as it should be utilized, returns would be as sure as the sun is to rise and water shortage a thing impossible. In picturesqueness, in liatural wonders, in attractive ness, in resources, in productivity, in health, the Rogue river far excels southern California. Hut southern Cali fornia has systematically exploited its advantages and developed its resources and the Rogue river valley litis only begun to do likewise. ' The writer of this lived, in southern California seven years and knows whereof he writes. THE RAILROAD'S SOME time since the Southern 'Pacific published a booklet devoted to poultry raising. In the demonstration trains operated by the railroad the poultry industry forms an important feature. In brief, every effort has been made and is being made by the railroad to induce people to embark in the poultry business. These efforts have been backed up heartily by the various commercial clubs and the country press. As a result, hundreds of people are going into the poultry business. There is room for an unlimited num ber. ,'lhe Rogue river valley now supplies home consuinrT tion and is rapidly becoming an exporter and as such will in a few years, with this one product, turn the balance of trade in its favor. If Petaluma cau export millions of dollars' worth of eggs and poultry a year, so can the Rogue river valley towns. But to do it profitably, the railroad must make a rate whereby the eggs can be shipped to Portland and still leave a profit for the fancier. Having helped create an industry, the railroad must help it exist, both for its own profit and for the prosperity of the country upon which the railroad depends for its own prosperity. The present rate to Portland is 53 cents per box. There is no reason why a box of .QUO miles to New York ior oO cents and a greater sum demanded for hauling a case of eggs .'500 miles. More over, it is impossible to ship eggs by freight, for there is no telling how long they will be in transit or how much shaken up when they do arrive. The last freight, which runs upon a regular schedule, will not take freight at Medford. it costs 99 cents a case to ship hy express .to Pork land an absurd figure, and one which renders competi tion with poultrymen near the metropolis almost impos sible. Of course the railroad does not fix express rates, but the poultrymen should begin proceedings before the state commission to secure a lower rate at once. J lore is a practical opportunity for the railroad to really encourage tho poultrv industrv. cut the rate on eggs and handle them upon u me. rW-uiSliii TRIAL INDIANAPOLIS, 7nd March 11 Tlio -HI defendnnlb who are to be ar raigned in the United Statos distriul court on tho charge of complicity in tho nation-wide dynamite conspiracy aro all in Inilinnnpoli today.
