THE VALLEY'S FUTURE.
"I see Medford proposes to secure the county court
house and make Jacksonville a suburb. I suppose sh;
will be annexing Ashland next," remarked an envious
'Ashlander the other day.
Yes, Medford is going to secure the courthouse, for
this city is the logical site for it. It is the railroad and
geographical center of the valley, the commercial metrop
olis, and the people of the county are going to vote it here
as a matter of convenience to taxpayers.
. ' "With an interurban trolley, such as will eventually
span the valley, Jacksonville will become a popular place
of residence for Medford people, but Medford has no in
tention of annexing Jacksonville, Central Point, Ashland
or any other town.
But the people of Medford realize what the people ol
other places are slower to comprehend, that- eventuallv
the entire valley will be one large town, the boundaries of
each locality being only imaginary lines, making it diffi
cult to tell where; one city begins and the other ends.
The entire valley from Ashland to Grants Pass will
be in the process of time cut up into small orchard tracts,
of five, ten and twenty acres, each supporting a family.
The county roads will become fine boulevards, winding
among groves adorned with stately villas, and cozy bun
galows, while electric lines will make transportation easy.
Less than a generation has witnessed similar changes
in the San Gabriel, Riverside and numerous other valleys
of southern California. Similar, even superior, conditions
exist here and less than a decade will materialize this pros pectus.
There is no reason for rivalry or jealousy between
towns of the Rogue River valley. As one grows, all grow.
Each offers some inducement that others lack. Their re
sources, interests and future are common, and what builds
up one, builds up all.
JACKSON COUNTY GROWING.
Jackson county's growth is reflected in the figures
recently made public by Superintendent of Schools Wells.
The school population lias grown from 5904 to 6370 in the
past year. The attendance has grown from 4144 to 4690.
Forty-four more teachers were employed, the total num
ber being 177. The amount expended for school purposes
was $182,578 as against $131,065 the year before. The
average salary of male teachers was $70 and of female
teachers $50.
Hood River county has 1471 pupils enrolled and ?!
school population of 1955. Klamath county has 1245 pu
pils enrolled as against 1089 a year ago, and a population
of 1828 as agrnnst 1725. Columbia count v has an increase
in enrollment from 2001 to 2062.
Comparison with other Oregon counties shows that
Jackson is more than holding her own in actual increase;
of population, and although handicapped by isolated sit
uation, is making more substantial gain in everything that
goes to the making of a prosperous community than any
other county in Oregon except Multnomah.
RAILROAD SUPPOSITIONS.
The most logical supposition of the invasion of central
Oregon by Porter Brothers is that Hill intends to build
through Oregon to San Francisco. After bridging the
Columbia for a connection with the North Bank, the route
would follow the water grade up the Deschutes, thence
south to Lakeview and down the Pitt river into the Sacra
mento valley and on to the metropolis.
It will be remembered that in early days a survey wars
made for a railroad from Medford to San Francisco via
1t river route. The line traversed the pass near
Mt. McLaughlin. The extension of the Pacific & Eastern
along this route would furnish connections with both the
Har riman Klamath Falls line and the Hill line, and its
extension a hundred miles southeast would provide tide
water connections and harbor at Crescent City, and make
Medf ord a large city. ,
