JACKSONVILLE:- A M ountain T own W ith A V alley C limate JACKSONVILLE, JACKSON COUNTY, ORSGON, SEPTEMBER 6, 1919 VOL XIII ALL TOGETHER! GO! Let All Hands and the Ship’s Cook Unite to Spread the Information Concerning this Wonderful Valley r. Soon we will be in the grasp of old King Winter, wond ering in the long nights and even during the snappy days what to do to pass the time in the best manner. We have one suggestion to offer: when you get lone some and down in the mouth because we are having a few days bad weather, just sit down and think of your friends and relatives in less favored climes and regions who are in the midst of snow and bad weather nine months of the year. Tell your folks about the advant- ages of Southern Oregon and keep telling them. Better start right now, tell the world that Jacksonville and Jackson county’is the ideal place in which to live. Because you have lived here several years, you have un doubtedly forgotten all the thrill you first experienced. The only thing needed to recall the fact that Southern Oregon is a king’s paradise is to go away and visit other parts of the world for a couple of years. When you come back you will fully realize the value of this valley. The writer of this article knows what he is talking about. He has visited several different countries, almost every part of the Union and has tried everything from the equator to British Columbia, and has seen nothing to compare favorably with the Rogue River valley. The trouble is that the people do not realize fully what we have in the way of climate. It never gets very cold or very hot, although there are usually a few warm days in the summer time. The soil in this valley is such that almost any thing can be raised, although since the dry law came in we haven’t seen so much of certain things raised as formerly. But do not forget to write, send your people literature, do anything to show the unenlightened ones that they are making a grand mistake by not coming to this valley t)live. If they once come and look us over, they will be here for all time. i 1 i " 1 ............ How about Modern Sanitation at the Jacksonville School House?
