ASHLAND THE FRIDAY TIDINGS APRIL 30, 1880. THE WAGON ROAD. Now that the freighting season is about to open, the people, es pecially those directly engaged in shipping to or from the cities, will have their attention directed con stantly to the needless outlay for transportation, which has taken from Southern Oregon in the past few years hundreds of thousands of dollars that should have re mained here to enrich the country and develop its resources and business. It is estimated that from 2*, 000 to 2,500 tons of freight are brought into Jackson county alone every year, A good road to Crescent City would en able us to save nearly a cent a pound on all freight from San Francisco, at least, it is safe to count upon a saving of $15 per ton. This saving upon the mer chandise that is brought into the the country, added to that upon the exports, will amount to some where in the neighborhood of $50,- 000 a year, in hard cash—more than twice the sum Jackson coun ty is asked to - subscribe toward the building of the wagon road. Fifty thousand dollars distributed among the people of our county eVery year will make a very per ceptible improvement in our pros perity. And it will be distribu ted; it cannot possibly be appro priated by any individuals or any corporation. What we have to buy from abroad will cost just so much less here, and what we have to sell will be worth just so much more, and the inflexible laws of trade will distribute the saving equitably. When the road is built it will be as though our val ley were transported some 200 miles nearer to San Francisco,with our means ot communication equally as good as now, tor the new route will just eliminate the cost of the freighting over the 200 miles of railroad between us and Portland. This will give us the benefit not only of the savii g that we have been figuring upon, but also ot the certain increase of the value of property which always follows in any place the improve nient of the facilities for commer cial intercourse with the trade center of the region. Let every one who can possibly contribute toward tlje building of the wagon road consider carefully how much his interests are involved, and then remember that now is the time to take advantage ot the opportunity to increase his possessions. “There is a tide in the affairs of men that, taken at its flood, leads on to for tune.” The tide of opportunity has set in toward Jackson county. . Will our citizens allow it to drift idly by them ? ♦ ♦ •< ---------------- A GOOH NOMINATION. NOMINEES FOR CONGRESS. CASCADE The Democrats and Republicans each have made a strong nomina tion for Congressman and the election will undoubtedly be a close one,unless the political com plexion of the state has been greatly changed by the immigra tion of the last two years. Hon. John Whiteaker, the Democratic nominee, is a thorough partisan and has whatever strength there is in being considered “a man of the people,” one elected from the ranks of the yeomanry. He is now in Congress, and appears to be doing some good work tor the material interests of his state. He has been considered a conscien tious man, having acquired the sobriquet “Honest John,” but «ns prominent a Democrat as Gen. Lane has recently published his belief that John Whiteaker ac cepted a bribe while member of the State Legislature. This is a serious charge, and we trust Mr. Whiteaker will be able to prompt ly disprove it. Hon. Melvin C. George, the Re publican nominee, is a man of rec ognized ability, and, so far as vre can learn, of unchallenged integ rity. He has been a member of the State Senate from Multnomah county, and is already looked up on as one of the leading public men of the state. He is spoken of by the leading Democratic jour nals ot the state as a good lawyer and a logical and eloquent speak er. The only thing that we have seen against him in the Democrat ic press since his nomination is that lie is not as old as he should be. He will make a canvass of the state, hewever, and the people of this section will have an oppor tunity ere long to see whother ¿lie is able to extenuate the “crime of youth.” STOCK FARM. ♦ — Season of THE ASHLAND DRUG STORE HAS BEEN REMOVED TO MASONIC BUILDING ALTAMONT, Butler & Rockfellow.
