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.

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.)

"Loretta D” (belonging to the W. S.

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.

the matter, and will return to this city
as soon as matters are in shape in

W. T. Forsythe, of Philadelphia, is
in the field for the bonds, and the syn-

I of the bonds for the road, he being the
highest bidder.
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.
