Tho Klnmath Palls Republican, In its last week's Isnuo, has this to u In regard to tho matter, which Is evi dence that Modford Is rognrdud as a competitor of no mean proportion, and which ought to convince tho Med ford iorohuiiU that a llttlo well directed missionary work In tho suction of the country ruferred to would undoubtedly redound to their Interests: "Tho pro posed now road across tho mountains from Modford to Pelican buy hus al ready been ooramonccd, tho design of whloh Is tocapturo the trade and busi ness of tho Wood river country. Whllo It Is n wise movo on tho part of Mod ford, it will bo a wiser thing on our part to prevent sueh a movo from moot ing with a successful uocompllshmonl ol tho objcot in vlow. Klamath Palls Is tho natural trading point for tho eltissons of Wood river, and thoy will gladly patronize Klumnth Fulls Instead of Medlord If thoy can havo a good road to travel ovor.
