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.

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
