f into the surrounding hills, whose rich
pod fertile soil is to furnish the sinews
that must build up thiB community's
material wealth. The merchant needs
good roads over which trade must come
to hie store; the railway company needs
good roads in order that the county's
products may be brought In good con
dition to market, as well as to ioorease
the value of Ub vast holdings in the
.hills; the liveryman needs good roads
eo that his horses and vehicles may ac
complish twice the results with half the
wear and tear each year: the farmer,
and particularly the fruitgrower, must
have good roads if he is to get hie
splendid fruits to market at a profit
This good road idea is not a theory nor
a hobby. It is a cold-blooded (act that
confronts every man who is endeavor-
ing to earn hlB livelihood in this coun
ty indeed, in the whole Btate, for it is
a state-wide question.
Admitting its imoortance. as all of us
must, Bbould we not then act and talk
'f& one man toward the end of securing
9 betterment of our conditions? I, for
one, who have become a citizen of this
county with a view to devoting my
energies to the development of a fruit
farm, am ready to Bay without hesita
tion that the Improvement of the roads
Jackson ccunty ie of more Impor-
4-Unce than all other questions com.
bined. With good roads thousands of
acres of fine hill land that today lie idle
will be taken by men who will make
them productive. With thiB increase
cj population and activity the lands of
the county will rise iu value, and the
cftunty will take its true position as the
banner frnft county of Oregon and the
United States, and whoae grand hills
will become the most desirable resi
dence property anywhere to be found
by the homesceker.
You may say that the improvement
of the roads at this time, when the bill
population is not numerous, would be
too dear a proposition for those who are
Irere. I reply that those who are here
got their lend, so cheaply that they can
afford to spend a good deal of money to
vuke good roads ; for those who come
later will have to pay higher prices for
the land and will thus pay their just
proportion of the expense of the roads
that have been made. It i in short
the same proposition that confronts the
buyer of real estate in the city. If he
buys a lot that abuts on a paved street,
he haB to a pay larger price than he
may pay for a lot on a mud street and
thus he pays for the paving that has
gone before, and the man who first paid
tWo oavlncr assessment 1b reimbuised. i
In no possible way can a farmer or a
citiKtm lose by putting money into the
judicious improvement of the roads.
Let the people of Jackson eountv prove
their sound judgment and progressive
dcs6 by taking the lead in road build
ing. It will do more than any other
ono tning to enncu me lanu owner in
the hills and valley, and the business
wan In our town and cities.

Shooting Affray in Klamath.
Klamath Falls, June 17: As the re
sult of a drunken dispute between
mountaineers, near Pi card, Calif. ,
lant night and a misunderstanding as
the cause of the quarrel, one man was
killed, another wounded and a third
will be placed under arrest before
nightfall. The crime as reported here
today 1b an unusual one. Jack Sny
der, George Potter, Donald McKay
and Charles MoManna were all drink
ing in Snyder'B cabin, six miles from
Fioard, Calif., last night, when a
quarrel ensued about the ownership
of the cabin.
Snyder, who waa considerably under
the1 influence of liquor, ae lying on his
cot partially asleep. The angry voices ,
of the other occupants aroused him
from his somnolence, and surmising
that their intention was to take his
cabin from him, he suddenly jumped
to his feet and, shot Potter through
the heart, killing him InBtanUy. He
then turned his weapon on Donald
McKay and fired, the bullet striking
him In the juw, inflicting a serious
wound.
The other participant, terrified by
the shooting and thinking that Sny
der had suddenly became insane, fled
from the cabin and reported the
shooting.
Details are meager, but the latest
information from the seat of trouble
suys that Snyder was sitting up with
the corpse of Potter uud that no ur
esis hud been made. Officers left for
the scene mid it is not thought any
trouble will be made in making ar
rests. How He Gets It.
Some weeks ago The Mail gave au
illustration of "How Nickell Gets the
News," citing au article he had stol
en from this paper, errors and all.
"Chawles" stated publicly that he in
tended to chastise the editor of The
Mail for exposing him but he hasn't
done it yet. Lust week the combina
tion of the writer, compositor and
proofreader made a reception which
extended from 3 o'clock to 6, read
from 5 to 9 in The Mail. In the next
issue of "Nickell's" paper an "ori
ginal" account of the reception ap
peared and the same error in the hour
occurred as had been made in The
Mail. "Like thoughts occur to great
minds, "but it is seldom that two
minds will "think" the same error.
Did "Nick" got that item like he
does all his news, by swiping it, or
did he "think" the same error thnt
we made? Take your choice.
The Blue Ledge Sold.
The famous Blue Ledge copper mine
in the Elliott creek section, has been
sold to a syndicate of eastern capital
ists, headed by John R. Allen, of New
York.
The price for which the property is
bargained is $250,000 there, or there
abouts. One-sixth interest in the
group of claims has been bought out
right and Mr. Alien and Mb associates
hold an option on four of the remain
ing five-sixths. The original owners
of the claims, Messrs. Neuber aud
Prim, of Jacksonville, and Dr. J. F.
Reddy, retain a one-sixth interest.
As was related iu The Mail a couple
of mouths ago, the Blue Ledge has
been steadily prospected during all
the season. The results have been
such that the necessary funds for the
opening and development of the prop
erty are now practically assured. The
opening of this mine in itself would
prove of great benefit to Southern
Oregon in general aud to Rogue river
valley in particular, even if it extend
ed no farther. But the development of
this property necessitates the building
of a railroad for the transportation of
the prodouct of the mines to a junc
tion with the Southern Pacific the
natural junction is Medford. Then
again the mines of the upper Apple
gate have always, been handicapped
by the lack of transportation facili
ties. That difficulty will now be over
come, in tact the above-mentioned
deal will result iu the development of
the resources of the southwestern por
tion of the couuty and in making it
one of the richest and most prosper
ous sections of Jackson county, and
no one is better pleased with the pros
pect than the Mail.
A Grants Pass Unfortunate.
Mrs. Jessie Riebel, of Grants Pass,
was committed to the state insane
asylum last week. She 1b 35 years of
age married and a native of Iowa. Her
mental inflrmatives started Beveral j
years ago when she had impulses to
commit suicide. During her most re
cent attacks of the malady she has be- j
come violent, sometimes threatening
to killJherBelf as well as children. She
is said to wander about,slnglng loudly
and discoursing at length on religious
subjects.

The raee for the penmmt of the
Rogue River Valley League is becom
ing interesting. Ashland is BtiU lead
ing, with Medford a good second.
Jacksonville and (Jold Hill by losing
Sunday's games are tied for last place.
The attendance at the games has not
boon what it should be for the kind of
ball the boys are putting up, but it
will likely bo better from this on.
Saturday's game at Medford was a
great one up to the eighth canto,
Jacksonville haviug throe runs and
Medford the same number. The two
the "Pippins"had were due to the
sticking of "Slivers" Henley, who had
lifted the ball over left field fence
twice. In the eighth the "Pippins"
fell upon Lester's curves and made
the "Gold Bricks" look like the real
bower j article after the purchaser gets
it home. The final score was C to 2.
At Ashland the same day the "Peach
blows" aud the "Nuggets" played one
of those old-fashioned games, wherein
the soore keeper is compelled to use
up a lot of white paper. After the
dust and ouss words had cleared away
it was found that Uodl Hill had won
16 to 14. Now what d'ye think of
that?
Sunday the "Peachblows" rubbed
some more of the gilding off the
"Hold Bricks" 11 to 2. The boys
who play for Billy Iluliu batted most
all Neubor's pitchers out of the box,
while the "Bricks" couldn't seem to
locate Martin's offerings.
But the real game was at (iold Hill
on Sunday. The grounds are not
much wider than an ordinary city
street and ovor-the-fenco-hits were
confidently looked for. They didn't
come, however. . The ball was hit
quite frequently, but there was usual
ly a fielder's mit somewehere near
where the Bphere landed.
Miller robbed Rothermal of a beau
tiful single in the second by a run
ning catch that made the spectators
know they wore watching ball players.
At the close of the eighth spaam
Mique No. 2, was looking pretty ser
ious, the score at that time being 3 to
2 in favor of Beeman's hired men
In the ninth, Isaacs, who has mislaid
his batting eye, picked out four bad
ones and got a "comp" to first. Be
fore this Patterson had made the in
itial on cushion on error of Miller.
Ramsdell shoved Isaacs to second on
a safe hit, scoring "Red," aud Roth
ermal scored Isaacs with a line drive
over second. Homer came in on Hut-
ton's "Texas Leaguer" and Billy and
Moore scored while Thomma and
Miles were getting out. That mndo
three out as Northup, who was first
up. had picked up a stick that refused
to connect with the ball. It totided
six runs that chapter aud made the
final scoro 8 to 3.
Hntton and Lorimor both pitched
good ball, but ragged support in the
ninth for the latter made the acoro so
large. It should buve been 4 o 3.

ST. LOUIS, Juno 13. A character
istio letter from Samuel L. Clemens
(Mark Twain )written before his wife's
death, was received by President
Francis at the World'B Fair today.
In part it follows:
"Villa di Quarto, Fironso, May 2(1,
1!W4.
Dear Governor Francis : It has been
a dear wiidi of mine to exhibit myself
nt tho grout fair, but circumstances
beyond my control have intorforreil
and I must remain in Florence. Al
though 1 have never taken prizes any
where else, I used to take thorn in
school in Missouri half a century ago,
and 1 ought to be able to repeat them
now, if 1 could have a chance. I used
to get the medal for good spoiling
every week, and I could have had the
medal for good conduct, if there had
not been bo much corruption in Mis
souri in those days ; still, I got it sev
eral times by trading medals and giv
ing boot. I am willing to give boot
now, if however, those days are for
ever gone by, now and perhaps it is
bettor so. Nothing ever stays tho
way it was in this changeable world.
"Although I cannot be at the fair,
I am going to be represented there,
anyway, by a portrait by Prof. Ulelli.
You will find it excellont. Good
judgos say it is better than the ori
ginal. They say it has all the merits
of the original and keeps still, besides.
It sounds like flattery, but it is just
true. ' '
