Since the adoption of the resolu tion by tfle Pomona Grange con demning the County court for this project, there has been some adverse comment of the Granges action in the matter. 1 drew up and Intro duced theyresolution aild the Pomona Grange in adopting it put themselves on record in accord with granger all over the state of Oregon, in pro testing the expenditure of laigt amounts of the public road fund!: on purely tourist roads, when th. money was so much needed for the improvement of comercial roads, li jitter v.orus tao gi-uges 1'aor gooa ..ii-'s for tho producer to reach his shipping point. The resolution In question statca in a conchie manner tacts upon which the resolution was based. So far no one has undertaken to controvert the facta set forth In the preamble of the resolution. It is true that Mr. I. P. Gardner undertakes td diiipuu the statement made by Mr. It. A. flusenbark that this so called "cm off" road would be a new road ti muruluin, but Mr. Busonburk was correct, it is to all iulcurs and pn, poses a new road. There Is no record to show that any action has been taken to vacate the old or to make the new project a county road and at this time Douglas county's road funds aro being lavishly expended on a project that is not a County road at all. Other statements of Mr. Gardner about development of timber and mining interests Is pure "bunk." lie says: "The Necnah Land Company pays approximately $5,000 taxes. lA good purt of our holdings being on the route of the so called cut off. Well, not very uea-c it; as a matter of fact the Neenah Land Company. nor any other company has any large timber holdings thud this so called cut orf would devefop. It is sparcoly timbered country suitable mostly for grazing. 1 Mr. Gardner also states that ii s "Not generally known that on account of poor roads the largest copper mine in this county haul nuiu' irjiu .NUuiord over the livide' into Douglas county." Now as matter of fact the mine alluded to is several miles from this Crater Lake road and 1 havo it from Mr. fi.irduer himself that the mine (Rowley mine) would not bo llf- L.ectml by the road at all. The Han- ileld minu in a copper mine prospect, but to say that its development de pends ii)ion this road is absurd. If so, it is certainly unfortunate when copper Is so high a price that this mine should wail five years and an expenditure of fifty thousand dol lars to reach it. There has been renins of Inspired matter printed ex tollng the scenic beauties of this route and showing tho advantages to touriat travel, but it remained for Mr. Gardner to discover the great benefit to tho timber Jiiul minim; Interests. The sentiment in favor of this road bus been created by miBiepre ::ta."oii. Even the News In giving ,u interview with Judgo Marsters and Commissioner Nichols said that when this road is completed it 'will make the distance between ltosebnrg and Crater Luke over 100 miles nearer, when as a matter of fact the distance is less than fifty miles. Hut why go to Mcdford when there Is a (perfectly good road from Gold !!lll to Crater Lake making the dif ference thirty miles. The claim 1b made that this roa.l will mako ltosebnrg tho gateway to Crator Lake, when Gold Hill or Med ford aro seventy-five miles nearer than ltosebnrg. Now. Mr. Editor, this article is growing too long, and I am not through with the mutter. 1 expect to write ugain showing that .this road Is not for I ho development of any material Interest of the tux payers of Douglas County, but Is nn exploitation of tho public road funds and that In the intorest of a very few Individuals.
