Barnum, general manager Rogue River Valley Railway Company insisting that said company file its tariff at once in the office of the Commission. For the news read the P ost . Candy at the Boss 10 e per pound. Attention was also called to the statutory duty of railroad companies to install depots.” Where is the depot in Jacksonville? Where is that light? Where are those two comfortable and well ventilated waiting rooms? For Heaven sake, where is anything that would even suggest comfoit? The passengers must stand on the poorly kept platform protected only from the winter’s storm by a slight projection of the business office roof. /f yzu are contemplating a social, or enteria n- On July 1, 1997 a statement was issued to the R. R. V. R. R. in part as follows: men1, lawn party or an outing, yon wit1 need “All passenger waiting rooms and passenger cars used in this state shall be kept clean and supplied with pure drinking water, and so lighted, heated, 4 leave your orders. I am prepared ventilated and equipped as to render the occupants of the same reasonably vdAllO to make Cakes from25 cents to $40 comfortable. The R. R. V. R. R. has not complied with one single item in this order. The order also requires toilets to be placed in passenger coaches. We do not have them. Where is that depot located that was ordered to be built in Medford? I have never seen it. Last Saturday the train pulled out with several cars heavily loaded wit gravel behind the passenger coach. This engine cannot handle one car of gra- ' vel on any grade between this point and Medford. Should there be some ob struction on the track what would be the result? The engine is too small to stop the train and the heavy gravel cars behind would crush the coach and pro-! bably kill every passenger in the car. “In case of delayed trains, such waiting rooms shall be kept open until the | actual arrival of such delayed trains.” Is this the case in this city? If you are waiting for someone on the train or some express or freight package, you will wait in the rain or go to some other 1 building for shelter. Passengers have been required to walk from Medford to this city or hire a j livery team, because the engine was out of water and the engineer was obliged j to draw the fire and fill the engine by bu diets. How many times are the lives ! of the people endangered in this manner? You have no way of finding out. Several times people were obliged to seek other means of transportation j because some of the machinery was out of order. One end of the passenger coach is used for freight and express also a smoking room without seats. Men are obliged to sit on freight and express or i stand up (of course they can walk if they don’t like these accomodation.) (Special Correspondence. ) Hon. F. H. Scribner, President of the Wisconsin Buttermakers’ Associa- tion, but more especially honored in the Pacific Northwest as the breeder of "Loretta D” (belonging to the W. S. Ladd Estate, Portland, Oregon,) the cow that won first prize in the hun dred and twenty day milking test at the St Louis Exposition in 1904, has said: "There is no spot in our great United States that can excel Oregon and Washington in dairying. This is my conclusion after spending six weeks in the former state and thoroughly in vestigating several of her beautiful valleys, and after an extended trip through Washington. I wish to say to the dairymen and farmers of this sec tion, relative to its dairy possibilities, that 1 fear they don’t fully appreciate the wonderful opportunity here for the raising of feeds best adapted to the da>ry industry, and the excellent climatic conditions for the growth and ievelopmm. of stock. You should I here reach the climax of productive ness. ” Mr. Scribner’s Wisconsin farm of eighty acres supports, under his skill ed management, ninety head of stock. Even m.,re successful than former ilisj lays was the Eight Biennial Fruit Fair at Hood River. A very large de legation went from Portland by spe cial train <.n Saturday. Harper's Weekly is planning a series of articles on the Pacific Northwest to appear in early issues, and J. K. Mum- Í ford, ene of America’s most promi nent magazine writers, is personally gather.ng the data now. Hon. John Barrett, Director of the International Bureau of American Re publics, will spend this week in Wash ington ai d Oregon, making addressees at Tacoma, Seattle, Spokane, and Port land. In this city he talks today to the me.noers of the Portland Commer cial Club at informal after-luncheon gathering, on “Oregon's Opportuni- ties»in the Pacific.” “If the community wants to get de sirable immigration it’s certainly with in the province of the ministers .to help” is an idea that promises to bear fruit in Northwestern towns most ac- CONTRA!TOR STOUT tive in presenting their claims to the country at large.

F. L. Evans, formerly of this city has been working in Astoria on the matter, and will return to this city as soon as matters are in shape in Astoria so that he can leave. W. T.

Had Jacksonville raised $2500 for the ! preliminary expenses last spring we would have electric cars running thro ugh our city connecting several of the valley towns. Astoria was active and progressive, the business men are up- to-date in all movements and the Cap tain was only a few weeks raising the required $2500 for preliminary work. Here are a few facts well worth your consideration. The residents of this city will raise $2500 for prelimin ary work, this preliminary work will raise $5,000,000 to be spent in this ! city. Did you ever look at it in that light? It will cost all of $5,000,000 to put the electric road in running order, this money will be raised by bonds, in the same manner that Hill. Morgan or Harriman gets money to build exten sions to their lines. DEROBOAM’S KLENETSCOPE SA TURD A Y DUT. 24.
