A BAIUtOAD, SURE! What the Prospects are at Present. Capital and Posh Back of the Project. In last week's Mail we gave some : very readable railroad news which had been kindly brought to our notice, by a couple of our prominent citizens. This week another communication was shown us bearing date of Jan. 30, and written to I. A. Webb by a gentleman from Omaha. The name of the writer wo aae not at liberty to disclose but the contents of the epistle are such as to make it ot deep interest to every reader in this valley and adjoining sections. These capitalists are pre paring to visit Medford about the first of April with the intention of getting control of the R. "R. V. R. R. and ex tending it from Jacksonville to Cres ent City and also to extend the line from Medford to the head of Klamath Lake, providing, as the writer says, the people of Medford and -along the propos2d line will do their share m assisting the enterprise. A development company will oe or ganized, the object and purpose of which will ba to advertise very ex tremely this portion of Oregon and offer inducements to settle along the line of road that is proposed to be built. The letter further says the company will open an office in Omaha and one in Chicago and one in Philadelpha for the purpose of forwarding the settlers and securing whatever tariff that can be had for this portion of the state. As the writer states, if the scheme u carried out and everything points that it will be, it will be the means of increasing the value of property in this part of Oregon at least a hundred fold, and people cannot fail to appre ciate the efforts that shall bs put forth in building up this seelion of the country and they certainly will do the best they can towards giving assis tance in the start. Within sixty days the prime movers will b3 here prepared for strict busi ness and the co-operation of the peo ple is expected in pushing the enter prise to a successful end. kins; Mrs. Adkins, Mrs. Rose DoGroot, Will Halley, P.

The play ers had been in drill twice per week for near two months, and the rendering showed how careful a painstaking had been tbe labor bestowed even in the smaller particulars, and did greatcredit to every actor. No better characters could have been procured had the en tire state been tendered the committee to select from.

Editor Mail: The warm weather of the past few days has a tendency to brins- office seekers to lisht by the The following are a few we have heard named for various offices: Hon. W. H. Parker, Ex-county clerk of Jackson county, is spoken quite fav orably of as a candidate for prosecut ing attorney of first- district. Mr. Par ker is a wheel horse in the Demo cratic party and should he secure the nomination we are confident he would carry of the laurels quite easily. J.M. Chimera, ex-assessor 01 Jacuson county, is a candidate for sheriff, sud- iect to the division of Democratic convention. Mr. Childers was as sessor of Jackson county for four years during which tims he performed the duties of his office very creditably to to the people of Jackson county and stepped out of office with more friends than wh3n he was elected fir3t. Judge P. P. Prim and Judge H. K. Hanna are very frequently spoken of as candidates for district judgeship of first district. Tho Hon. gentlemen have each bsen on th3 bench in this district and thsre is no doubt of their ability to fill the position again should they be chosen to do so. It is not knowu whether Judge L. R. Webster will be a candidate for re elctio:i or no, but we advise him to re tire from politics for the present Mrs. W. J. Plymale, of Jacksonville. we understand, will enter into the field this year in persuit of tho nom ination for recorder on tha Republi can ticket. That is right, Sistsr Ply male; if you never ask for an office you will never be refused one. j County Treasurer Go. E. Bloomsr, says he is not a candidate for sheriff. Gsorg e is a ADDITIONAL LOCAL NEWS. The new city council kicked up the duit in great shape at their first regular meeting, last Monday evening, and we believe they give promise of working harmoniously and in the interest of the town at large. Spaca precludes lentrthv digest of the wortt accom plished, but the full proceedings are printed in another column. S. P. Conger, a mining expert, lately arrived from New Mexico, and who was employed by Crawford, Baker & Co. to start up their five stamp mill, just erected at the mine at Willow Sorings, has returned to town, and is very enthusiastic over the appearance of the prospect. He pronounces it very rich, with every promise of get ting better. It is a true fissure vein and has been opaned for half a mile or more without" a break appearing. The mill, he says, is a good one and is in full blast night and day crushing rock. The owners are to b3 congratulated for having in their possession a valuable piece of property. Notice. ' A meeting of the Medford Aid Soci ety is called to meet at tne resoyie rian church, on Thursday at 3 p. m.

The end of the division will be stored to this city when the change of time next take pjace, and the old order of affairs will be restored. The change tn Aarilnnl tins VlA.MI s n AXTiftTlsiVft Atld awkward experience for both the rail- j favor all public improvements. common but, I think, useful subject for a brief consideration in the columns of your wide awake and fearless journal the Medford Mail, I do this simply in behalf of the community I live in and do not expect to revolutionize the whole road system from ancient times down to the present, nor have I any pet theory or particular system to offer the public on the subject of road- making, but. more in particular to call the attention of our honorable county court once more and causa them to more fully understand and realize the sad and deplorable condition of this piece of public highway in our midst, and of which they are the direct custo dians. This piece of road I call your kind attention lo is the gray, sticky or adobs land that the road is made of, if made at all, and stretches a distance of two miles around the base of the upper Table Rock, and is a portion of the Fort Klamath road leading up Rogue river; and from appearances of this piece of road as regards travel, anyone would conclude this was the boundary line between this section and the inte rior of the valley, for ths guideboard says most emphatically, thus far shalt thou travel and no farther, during the months of November, December, Janu ary and February. And now, Mr. Edi tor, just think of this being our only direct thoroughfare to our countyseat and different trading points, and to be so completely shut off and isolated, pos sibly for four months, and quite fre quently longer, naturally causes us, as law-abiding citizens to speak out boldly for reform. You may possibly ask what our road supervisor is doing that he does not put this piece of road in a condition for winter travel. It is sim ply this: because the territory or juris diction that he controls is too great for one man, and he devotes his time and la bor principally to tho mountains and foot hills, and by the tima he gets to where the labor should be directed or used, it is about all exhausted. He then fills up the old wagon ruts, throws out a few loose rock and broken rails that have been used as the last resort in remov ing this terra lirma from the wheals of the wagon, so they can revolve; and possibly the first band of sbeep or catr tie that comes along will roll all these things back down into their old accus tomed places. This done, he pronoun ces this piece of road in good condition for summer travel; admitting it is, this does not insure us a winter road, which is beyond question the most interesting and important part of the season for the farmer and merchant. Now, while I claim to mingle with and represent a portion of this prosperous community on tbe north side of Rogue river, I can see no particular reason why we should not have our share of public assistance judiciously applied, to make this pieca of road what it should be a passable winter-traveled public highway; and should bedding this piece of road with rock and then gravel be found to be too expensive, then why not cause a new survey and change the roadbed to the river bottom, on different land, which is owned by Mr. Thomas Curry 1 and William Bybse, which gentlemen I are too well known for public spirited Iness and generosity to not willingly We CITY FATHERS, An Interesting Session Under the New Reign.

Webb, offering to rent one half of old store room, on C street for use of hose cart, hose, etc., for $48, payable quar terly in town warrants. On motion the proposition was accepted, it being the best and cheapest place offered. W. K. Davis appeared before the board and asked that a street crossing b3 built across the Rogue River rail road, near the property of J.R. Esford, which was referred to the street com mittee, and street committee to report at ths next regular meeting1. The matter of fencing the city pound was reported to the street committee to report at next meeting. On motion it was decided to revise the town ordinances. The mayor re ferred the whole matter to the ordi nance committee, consisting of Wood, Pickel and Roberts. Iu I he matter of salary of L. C.

On motion the board tendered him SSG per month and txH of marshal. Mr. Rodenbjrer appeared before the board and most emphatically refused to accept said $60 per mouth as salary for said marshal and night watch, and there aud then tendered his resignation as night watch, aud asked that another man ba aj pointed for night watch.

P. crossing, near the Rogue River Valley railway depot.
