CRATER LAKE THE BEST CARD.
Of course the state exhibit at Ash
land is a nexcellent idea and we are
for it, but we still maintain that the
host bet for tne Rogue River Valley
lies in Crater Lake.
If Jackson county had a hard-surfaced
or a smooth-surfaced low-grade
boulevard to Crater Lake connecting
with the new Pacific Highway we
venture to say 50 per cent more peo
ple would stop off in the valley in
1915.
Every district in the west will haye
its alluring display at the depot and
there will be an indigestion of dis
plays at the exposition itself, but the
Rogue River Valley alone will have
Crater Lake. Medford cannot afford
to overlook this "natural wonder
when a campaign to secure visitors
two years from now is considered.
Medford Sun.
Ashland is with you, brother, on
the Crater Lake suggestion. Crater
Lake is one or the wonders of the
world and the Rogue River Valley is
fortunate in having it in such close
proiimity. It not only is a southern
Oregon asset but one of the biggest
state of Oregon assets; in fact, it is
predominant as a world attraction in
Oregon. It should and will be de
veloped as a national and state at
traction. Already the government
has begun development in the park.
The government and the state should
combine in an appropriation large
enough o construct a paved highway
on a six per cent grade from the
Rogue River Valley to Crater Lake.
The state has shown a narrow dispo
sition in the past in dealing with
that marvelous attraction, but it was
because Oregon had not yet become
awakened to the broader view. If
properly exploited Crater Lake holds
the attractive power to bring more
than a hundred thousand sightseers
to the state each season that do not
now come. Every town in the slate
would reap a benefit from that.
Portland especially would have a
chance to entertain' every one of
them, and it would be worth millions
of dollars to Portland.' Outside of
the direct benefit to be derived from
a state exhibit at Ashland the move
ment is worth millions to the state
in bringing its people to a broader
view of state development; in over
coming the local jealousies and nar
row prejudices that have prevailed
in the state in the past. It is a sure
token of a brighter day for Oregon.
She has the resources and scenic
beauty to make her far more attrac
tive than our sister state on the
south. The question is, will we lay
aside our local spite and capitalize
our attractions wherever they exist
and go in earnest into their best de
velopment? It ia possible to get a
combined state and national appro
priation large enough to construct an
attractive highway to the lake. Let's
, get together and do it.
WHO CAN VOTE.
Owing to the recent ruling of the
attorney general on the new regis
tration law there is some misunder
standing among voters as to registra
tion. There is no registration need
ed for city elections under the char
ter and that none will be required is
the opinion of City Attorney Moore.
We give this word of admonition to
the ladies: The ballot is a sacred
right, under our form f government
the greatest that can be bestowed on
mankind; the men have had it since
Hociety began and it has been wield
ed by them with Indifference; mostly
in the interest of a party rather than
for good government; and under this
lax use of the ballot the evolution of
government has been slow. Abuses
that should have been corrected cen
turies ago still flourish. Laws pro
tecting the home have been negligi
ble; dollar diplomacy has ever taken
precedence over moral right and so
cial justice. Men have been taken
-away from their families by the state
.and incarcerated for long terniB,
without the least care on the part
of the state for the innocent women
And children who are thus deprived
of the support of -the husband and
lather. They have been left to beg

to meet this situation, to protect
those growers who have observed the
law, and to protect the fruit industry
as a whole, the district horticultural
commissioner and the county court
have authorized nine additional in
spectors to serve for such time as the
conditions demand.
The matter of equipping and main
taining a laboratory for the study
primarily of a remedy for blight by
the pathologist, as recommended by
the conference committee, is deemed
inexpedient, in view of the cost, the
eftorts that we are assured by the
I'nited States government are being
hade by the Department of Agricul
ture, and the work being done by
vtato experiment stations, to find a
remedy backed by the large resources
at their command.
Your committee is strongly of the
opinion that the situation permits of
no temporizing, and that the fruit
industry of this valley, especially
pear growing, can be preserved only
by willing co-operation of the grow
ers and a strict observance of the
law. We recommend your consulting
the public officials in seeking advice,
end your aiding them to discharge
their duty efficiently.
A letter from the district hortim.
ti'ral commissioner is appended and
it is commended to your careful at
tention. Your committee will continue in
force to meet future conditions, and
rubject to your commands until such
time as its existence becomes unnec
essary. In the meantime we solicit
your cordial assistance to our mutual
interest. Obediently,

Fruit Growers' Blight Committee.
Medford, Ore., Nov. 22, 1913.
Plans for the orchard clean-up
campaign inaugurated by the fruit
growers in co-operation with tho
county court are outlined below hv
Horticultural Commissioner A. H.
Carson. In conformity with thU:
plan, nine additional inspectors have
lifen authorized to be appointed l,y
Chief Inspector Myers.' Orchardists
ere expected to co-operate fully. In
spectors are not to cut out Infected
trees, but if orders are not obeyed,
the orchard will be cut down and a
l'en placed on the land to cover the
cost of work done. Mr. Carson's
plan follows:
The following plan of action to
eradicate the blight in the valley, I
feel sure, will be successful with the
loyal co-operation of all fruitgrowers
of the valley. This plan I am confi
dent is sustained legally in every de
tail by the horticultural laws that
this emergency calls on me to en
force. Additional Inspectors.
The county court to sanction Coun
ty Fruit Inspector J. W. Myers to ap
point nine additional deputies, which
I will gladly certify.
Before these deputies are ap
pointed County Inspector Myers is to
examine them as to their knowledge
and qualification to identify blight,
and senr their names to me to be
certified as the law directs.
That all deputies are to be as
signed to their work, and be subject
to the orders of County Inspector J.
W. Myers.
That in the inspection work each
deputy must be diligent, and be on
hand for work by 8 a. m. each day it
is possible to work, anrtduring these
short days give eight hours each day
to the work.
Tree to Tree Inspection.
That the deputy inspectors are to
make a tree to tree inspection of each
orchard as they go into it. That the
deputies are to be provided with rd
ribbon flags of some cheap material
that should be not less than two feet
or starve. The children have been
allowed to grow up in ignorance and
vice, only to develop Into another
crop of criminals. Laws for the pro
tection of property have multiplied
while evils that tear down humanity
have been permitted to flourish. In
enfranchising the women it was to
be expected that their vote would
always be on the side of social Jus
tice and protection. Now that the
franchise has been granted it remains
to be seen whether women will
evince a greater interest in such en
actments han meu have done, and
whether they will, as a class, exer
cise their great new prerogative In
the interest of humanity. The wom
en of Oregon are on trial. Will they
show their earnestness by attending
the polls on every occasion and cast
their ballot in favor of clean govern
ment?
long and an inch or more wide.. .That
when he finds a tree diseased with
blight be ia to tie said flag to a limb
of the diseased tree, bo that the own
er can readily find it.
Tat the deputies are to teach the
owners how to cut out the diseased
parts of the tree, but is to do no
cutting himself excepting to illustrate
how to properly do it. That in the
event a tree is found so badly dis
eased that there would be a risk to
try to save it by cutting out the dis
eased parts the deputy will summarily
condemn it and tie two red flags to
the tree so condemned, and the own
er must at his expense cut down and
destroy the same within the time
limited by the Inspector.
That all owners of orcahrds on re
quest of the deputies will give him
a description of the land on which
his orchard stands, section, township
and range, together with fractional
subdivisions of the same..
Serve Notice on Agent.
That when an inspection of an or
chard is completed, and trees are
found diseased with blight, the in
spector or his deputy will serve
a notice of disinfection on the agent,
owner, or lessee of said orchard. Said
notice will contain the proper reme
dies and ways to eradicate the blight
in the trees that are found diseased,
specifying the time in which the own
er must cut out and abate the same.
In the event any owner should ig
nore in any particular the details as
to the abatement of the blight found
in his orchard, or use anything for
sterilizing the tools in cutting out the
blight other than is mentioned in the
notice of disinfection, then it will be
the duty of the inspector or his depu
ties to summarily condemn said dis
eased trees, declaring them a public
nuisance, and cut down and destroy
them.

summarily condemn and destroy dis-'
easea trees in any orchard, whatever
expense he may be to for labor in
doing so, the inspector will make out
a bill for the same and request pay
ment for the same from the owner
of the same. If payment is refused,
the Inspector will send said bill to
me and I will certify the same to the
court for payment as provided by
law, when Bald payment by the court
will become a lien on the land oh
which the diseased orchard stands.
After this campaign which I pro
pose to prosecute vigorously ends,
there will always be danger of blight
breaking out again.
Up to the Onwers.
It will be up to the owners of the
orchards of Jackson county and all
other counties of the Third district
to be alert and personally inspect
their orchards for blight, and on the
first indication of twig blight to cut
I the same out, or else they are liable
to lose many trees.
There is not an owner of an or
chard In the Rogue River Valley but
can identify blight, and it will be up
to the owner to care for his interest
and investment in his orchard, for,
should I find a single grower neglect
ing his own interest, thereby endan
gering the property interest of his
neighbor, I shall instruct and order
every inspector to carry an ax, sum
marily condemn, and cut down and
destroy the trees found diseased with
blight germs.
The policy of blight eradication I
have Indicated above will be carried
out to the letter. The apple and
pear growers of the beautiful Rogue
River Valley must not lose these val
uable groves that only are coming
into bearing and produced this year
a million dollars. I am,
Cordially yours,
A. H. CARSON.
