GOOD ROADS PROBLEM.
The tulit that County .luiljf I hum
agve at the good rum I a meeting Friday
night gavi uii idea uf liin altitude
toward the good roa't iiiuifmi'iit. He
is evidently inrert :md ban tbe wel
fare ot I he county ot heart, but bin
1ntal lack of tho kunwUdyc and m-it-me
uf road building and lii m iuuhilily t(i
graiu the problem presented convinced
hi hearer that eritieUrns are wdl
groiinilVd.
Tliin paper bun no pcrHonul tight witb
any one. It in thu duty of every up
ti dale pupur to exprcHH an unbiased
opinimi on public niatttTH Public of
iit-eiA are piiblje tiemiutii. nnd in
endowing men to represent the intercut
uf Hit county tlie question of whether
they nrtt jjuod fellows or respected h
not nil that in to be considered. Tbe
problem of paramount importance in
llit (jiifstion whether aspiranta are en
pabln of filling intelligently tho of
fires for wbicli they uspire. In re
elrutiug .ludg IJiiuii, in Jack sou rumi
tr ne.-iiring the right man for tb job?
One would think I bat its long us
.Indue Juttii Ii:im been in office be
would have at leant nbsnrved some
practical ideiift in regard to rotnl build
ing, but bin remarks brought con vie
1 iun on t ivo things: First, hist sinecr
Ifv; seeoud, bin absolute lack of liiiowl
eilgt tin the nub.jeel of highways. He
stated that there in from $2U,0"0 to
:!0,imi being expended ji'tiniiallv for
muds in .Jiiekson .nnutv, which will
"only buihl two or three miles of such
roads an you propone."
J)oi- the judge prelcud to Hay that
it cost from 4H.nun to $h,0ihi mile
to build highway He spoke of the
long distance that suitable material
had to hu biiuleo!. There m rock at
Ashlnud. .larkxonville, (.old Itay, Tabic
Ifoek and Ifnxy Ann; nil of which are
tlin ln't of material for road building.
( 'riiHherH hIioiiM have been established
at sonio of tlifHe pointH and work go
ing on during I he winter seusmi when
lubor it cheap.
It appears I but houm where back in
thi! dim past there must have been a
county .judge who secured bis position
by divine right, and each Hiieei'eding
incumbent Iiuh been, an it wrre, an
elder Hll that fell heir to tbe throne,
and with this inheritatu-e has gone cer
tain iini-hangeahle ninriple, wbirli the
present judge adhere to iiiokI tena
eiously. A predecessor. Judge Crowell,
made the statement thtit it would re
inire twenty, fifty, yew, a hundred
years to build mads in Jackson cmiu
ly, but after all Ihn judge's remarks
were consistent, as bin knowledge
bused upon past experience.
What we all want In up to date men
who will employ up to dale methods;
and secure good highway for tbe pre
out generation, that can bn enjoyed in
thin life. Mecanse grandpa went to bed
with n candle in no reason we should
use candle today, and because our
good cousins in the oitst have, put up
with bad mads for genera t tons is no
reason we should continue tr waddle
in the mud, or confess ourselves unable
to solve the simple problem before us.
What Jackson county has done, in
times past is no criterion of what it
can do today, what it should do, and
what it will do. There are twice as
nuuiy people hern ns five years ago,
and there will be twice as mnny more
in another five years.
No problem is too great for tin ener
getfc people to aolvo, and if neeesMHry
to violate all pr dents In Oregon to
sticure good roadu, they will be violal
ed and the highways termed, no mat
ter how.
The lethargy and Inertia that have
blighted Oregon a development and
kept her .it tbe tail of the procession
f progress ore things of tho past in
this eommiitiity. V are awake and
nlive and have the inyttnilty and
hrains to seize what we go after and
to grasp that which is needed.
Is Judj;c Muiiii tbe man for tbe ne
r anion f Me stands upon his record,
and tbe public can judge of hit road
hnildiug at fn.it bund.

Land Owners, Attention!
There are hundreds of acres of hid

fruit this fall. The demand at the
nurseries for young trees is enor
mous. The volume of orders is with

many who intend to triple the value
of tlu.ii land by starting an orchard ?
If you are expect ing to wait till sum
mer to place your order with the nur
seryman you will certainly be disap
pointed. The stock of really first
class trees is limited and will soon
be gone. Don't delay, but place your
order early anil obtain the best nurs
ery stock the market affords. C F.
COOK, the nurseryman, with an of
fice opposite Hotel Moore, handles
only the very highest grade trees, lie
carries a full line of ornamental trees
and shrubs as well. He sure and see
him at once.

Pa says a rose by any other
name would bo just as expen
sive back east this time of year.
I eometimea think he pines for
tho pinoy woods in old Penob
scot, Frappe County, Maine,
where ho was raised but that's
one thing yours truly never
yearns for. Tho good mountains
and the good old ocean and nice
old Oregon atmosphere arc good
enough for m . But it's all in
how you were raised. Pa likes
Ham ehowder and corn on tho
coh, and harvest apples and a
lot of thinga that a kid who
was born this side of the snow
hIkmIs hasn't had much chance
to get acquainted with. Those
who have lived on both sides of
this great country and lived
long enough to know what's
what can get all those things
just as nico one placo as an
other, if you know where to buy.
We've gut elnm chowder from
Huston that is just ns nice ns
any you ever ate on tho sand,
nod lots of other things that
have that "Down East" taste.
