Said convention Is called for the purpose of nominating candidates for the various county oltloes and for tbe legislature, and to transact suoh other business as may properly come before the convention. All voters who believe that the peo ple should rule, and not the bosses, and all who believe in flr and honor able dealing In' politloal matters, and equitable distribution of county offloe, among all classes of oltlzens, geographically and otherwise, and who bellevo that tbe best interests will be best subserved by the election of the most competent and trustworthy citi zen, regardless ol party politlos, are Invited and urgently requested to at tend and take part In this mass conven- loo. A special Invitation is extended to the voters living in the outlying preolncU. The above call la signed by tbe fol lowing named persons: J. W. Marks- berry, J. S. McCain, W. H. Bradshaw, G. R. Llndley, W. E. PhipDS, J. I. Fredenburg, G. F. Sohmidtlein, W. E, Anderson, John W. Smith, J. A. Smith, D. B. Mardon, A. L. Gall, Martin Perry, James Galloway, Peter Fordney, It. Hardin, J. B. Bridges, J. C. Ferguson, A. 8. Barnes, C. C. Gall, J, H. Messner. Aocordlnc to the latest statistics there are now la the United 8ttei three million less hones than In 1990, and tbe anomalous showing, la ooonectlon with this statement is, that there are five hundred thousand mora horses ia use. This condition of one of the important branohes of Industry, when oonsidered in oonneotion with the wide spread use of electric motors, aad btoyclet, whloh have largely supplanted horses In the more densely populated dlstrtota seems Inezplloable, nnlil It Is further con sidered that population has lnoreaaed fifteen to eighteen millions sinoe 1890, and that the opening up of vast areas of new territory has called Into requlsl tion, over a much broader field, tbe necessary labor of an increased number of horse. Tbe advance in the price ol horses all over the United States is due to a legitimate demand growing out of their scarolty. During the period of depression when the Industries of the county were blighted, and trade and oommeroe stood blocked and stagnant, there was no demand for horses. Their market valne fell below the cost of pro duction, and breeders were foroed to quit raising them. The sales of oar- rlage horses In New York lately, Indi cate dearly how the prloe of good horses Is bounding upward. There was sold at auction, a short time Slnoe In the city, forty head of well bred carriage horses, and It Is worthy of note that tbe prices obtained averaged the owner the remarkable sum of 11000, or ttt.000 for the lot. Another sale of seven bun dred carriage horses, netted the owner A Need for More Factories. The time has come in the industrial history of Jackson County when a con certed move should be made to estab lish such manufactories as will convert certain raw material produced here into finished products. It is certainly a fatal and short sighted business policy to ship wool, bides, flax, mohair and other products east to be manufactured into finished goods and then re-shlpped back here to be bought and consumed with the two transcontinental freights added. The wool of Southern Oregon Is unsurpassed for length and quality of staple, and it is an Inexbusable waste of time and mosey to ship It east and pay two freights to secure the finished produot when it might as well be man ufactured here where there Is every fa cility exoept the needed enterprise to build the necessary factories. It it not nooessary to have great costly plants to oommenoe with. Two or three small inexpensive plants, could be added to from time to time as the growth of business would justify, until, In a few short years, Jackson County would be known, not only as a grain and fruit growing seotlon, but as a manufactnr tng center, if It be said that It would oost too muoh to build even small fac tories, think for a moment of the large amount of money paid out each year in double freights, and figure how long it would take for this money, that Is ut terly lost, to build two or three small faotories. If any valid reason can be assigned why the wools of Southern Oregon should not be manufactured here, there can. certainly be no such reason In the case of flax or hides. Hides, like wool, go east or south, and are tanned and made Into boots and shoes, and re-shlpped here, and con sumers pay double freights on home products -hipped abroad to be manu factured. This is not a theory or an Imaginative sketch, but a oondltlon, a statement of facts to which serious at tention must be given sooner or later, and the soot.er the better 'sYwSMea County School Note..
