LET HARRIMAN BUILD WHERE NEEDED.
"Why does Harriinan waste time, money and energy
in trying to build a line through the Deschutes canyon?
Every foot of right of way is contested by a hostile
force.
Every foot of roadbed is difficult of construction and
exceedingly costly.
An undeveloped country is traversed and all tonnage
must be created in the future.
Why does Harriman tackle an undeveloped region,
where there are so many developed sections in his terri
tory with the tonnage in sight, which for years have begged
in vain for railroads, and in building which he will en
counter no opposition, but only friendly co-operationjmd
even subsidies ? .
If Harriman wants to build a railroad, why does he
not build the Pacific & Eastern, which with another ten
miles constructed, will pay for extension to central Ore
gon out of its profits?
The Pacific & Eastern can be extended from Butte
Falls up Willow creek, through Fish lake pass, down Clear
creek to Pelican Bay, 30 miles, with a maximum grade of
one and a half per cent. From here a railroad can be built
at a mininrarn cost to Lakeview, or to Bend and the Des
chutes country, and be in a partially developed section,
with tonnage in sight all the way. There will be no eighty
miles of expensive roadbed in barren, rocky, canyon, no'
obstruction by rivals, no waiting for years for tonnage.
If Harriman is in earnest in wanting to develop Ore
gon, let him abandon the Deschutes line, tap the same
country from this side at much less expense and confer a
real benefit upon a section that for years has appealed in
vain for transportation facilities.
It begins to look as if Harriman is interested more in
maintaining his monopoly and keeping the state bottled
up than in. developing Oregon. He only builds wher.
rivals threaten and start work on the Deschutes as he be
gan work on flie Columbia, to head off construction of
another system. The Deschutes line may be valuable to
Hill as a feeder for his North Bank road, but there is no
valid reason why Harriman should want this route, when
the same territory can be reached much cheaper from this
side, with a line that will' pay from construction.
We suggest that Harriinan move Twohy Brothers front
the Deschutes to Butte Falls and begin work on a business
proposition, where he won't have to fight a hostile force,
in a barren wilderness, but has a guaranteed tonnage in
sight.
A DELIBERATE FALSEHOOD.
"Attorney John Long, who returned from Medford
Thursday after a, brief- sojourn, reports ' 'consider aid",
drunkenness and carousing noticeable, lie says that the
saloons are conducted, in a manner disgraceful to any city,
being fairly alive with creatures of the lower world. Mr.
Long was somewhat disgusted with the conditions existing
and was more than pleased to get home
The above is a news item from the Umpqua Valley News
of Roseburg.
The Tribune docs not know who Mr. Long is, but it
does know that the above statement is a lie.
Without attempting to defend the saloon as an ivisi i
tution, it can lie truly stated that Medford 'h saloons are
as orderly as any in the country and are as stringently
regulated. Saloon men Avho surreptitiously break the law
are refused licenses. '
Medford saloons are open front and without boxes.
Publicity has been found a great regulator. No liquor is
sold women Medford being remarkably free from "crea
tures of the lower world."
WASHINGTON, July :il.--Hoop
l.n! The day for tin? first drawing
in the Cuban lottery is near. Des
pite Iho bcncfiricnt and puteni'd
teachings of Govpruov Maroon and
t lie provincial government, despito
the highly moral precepts and exam
ple of Uncle Samuel, the government
of free and independent Culm is go
ing to revive old times by having Iho
biggest and grandest game chance
ever pulled off.
They have directed the treasurer of
the island to look a Her the business.
They have appointed a director gen
eral, who must answer to the presi
dent and the national senate. They
have agreed that the tickets shall
range in price from one dollar to 2
cents. Four times a year the draw
ings will take place, and 70 per cent
nf the receipts are to go for prize.
The government of Culm believes
that there is money in the lottery. rl
expects to make two millions a year
net, an estimate based on tho old
colonial lottery. It will probablv bo I
larger, as the former lottery belong
ed to a period which was still itndci
the shadow of the middle ages, wire,
they did things badly. Then, too,
there wasn't much money lyin
around loose those days. Now the
eople have plenty to spend for suen
laudable enterprises, to make them
selves richer and heip keep the ship
of state afloat.
If the net proceeds to the govern
ment should reach the three million
murk it would mean tlyit tho peoplo
would be .sending about $10,000,000
annually to support this patriotic en
terprise. The ticket vendors who
might otherwise he obliged to hoe
sugar eane will have a respectable
occupation. Senor Morna Dclgado
will have n fat berth. Clerks and
printers will be employed getting out
prospectuses and tickets. And even
the little children of the foundlings'
home and orphan asylum will have
a grand fiesta every three months
when they pick up the little balls that
roll out of the big glass gloWs.

The lame of the local plant wizard,
Colonel Ton Velio of Tolo, is spread
ing rapidly throughout the east as
the result of his now renowned oll'u
bcrry. The ltimil New Yorker is the
latest publication to take tho matter
up. Under tho head of "Correspond
ents Answered'' tho publication says
in its issue of July 2-1:
. I am sure the following will hit the
It. X.-Y., for it hits your three hob
hies prohibition, alfalfa and straw
berries, nil at one shot. There is n
new use for water, a new use for al
falfa and a new use for strawberries
Water is o great thing. I liavo nl
ways believed in water sinoe I was
old enough to wash my own face. Tlo
foro that water was my chief enemy.
I am trying best to prove mv faith in
water by breeding water into my milk.
tor 1 have two registered Holsteir.
bulls. Hut this item raises a doubt in
my mind as to whether or not I am
working it the best way. I might
grnl't my cows on alfalfa, and I am
trying to do thnt, hut if I grafted
thent on my pump I could get fivo
times as much without irrigation. I
should not ho surprised if tho colonel
dug down on those alfalfa roots next
winter; he might find the juice hud
turned to strawberry ice cream.
A. F. K.
It. X.-Y. This letters refers to tho
following statement taken from tho
Scientific American under a column
headed "Science."
"Colonel Frank Ton Velio, u ranch
er living near Medford, Or., is 'said
to have produced a deep-rooted vine
which brings forth three crops of
berries in ft season, which result has
been obtained by grafting alfalfa
roots on tho roots of tho strawberry
vine. Alfalfa roots deeply without
irrigation. It occurred to him thai
strawberries might do tho same ?.f tho
vine could bo made to extend down
far enough, so as to receive moist
ure from the soil throughout the sen
son." We wish to sny right off ns a mnt
ler of .justice thnt Luther Hurbnnk
bad nothing to do with this grafting.
He has denied it in language headed
toward "strong words." Xow, if Col
onel Ton Velio will cross this berry
with the milkweed and sugar beet we
may have strawberries and cream
with sugar from the plant! Some of
our crowbar hole peach trees act f.s
if they were rooted on alfalfa. Any
cow jvill enjoy n good bunch of al
falfa before her, but as for graft
ing her to the pump handle, there is
too much risk of a good sized fine.
Yet the man who does this is n good
citizen beside the fellow who robs the
public by selling them some worthless
plnnt nt n high figure when he know;
it is untested ! Usually ho docs not
want it tested until he has sold what
he can.
