VALLET RECORD THEIR RECORD DRAWN ON THEM.
ASHLAND, Or...Thursday, May 28. 1896.
Mr. Bawling« Replies.
Jacksonville, Oregon, May 25*, 1896,
To the Time« and the Tidings—the
Demo-Republican Twin Deceiver«:
In Volume 5 of the mortgage record«
of this county, beginning on page582, is
a mortgage given by tbe Oregon & Cali­
fornia Railroad Co. which covers eleven
pages of the record.
On July let, 1887, the time this mort­
gage was given, the railroad was com­
pleted from Portland to about one mile
above Ashland, and on this part of the
road the mortgage was estimated at
$30,000 per mile; and from Ashland on
to tbe California line (a distance of prob­
ably fifteen miles of road which the com­
pany was then trying to raise money to
construct) it was estimated at $100,000
per mile. This mortgage covers not
only tbe road-bed, but also ail rolling
stock, depots, personal property, landB
and rights to lands within the state of
Oregon.
In mv statement to the R ecord I put
the 65 28-100 miles in this county all at
$30,000 per mile, making $1,958,400 for
Jackson county’s portion; while in the
mortgage there really is about 50 miles
at $30,000 per mile and about 15 miles at
$100,000 per mile, making in Jackson
county about $3.000,000 of railroad in­
debtedness.
There is 653 50-100 miles of this road in
Oregon and the mortgage on all of it is
about $20,000,000; and you, poor old
Times and Tidings, you seem to be labor­
ing under the erratic hallucian3tion that
the people are all darnphools when you
try to make them believe the $1,958,400
railroad mortgage as put for this county,
is the debt on all of the road io Oregon.
Tbe people are catching on to your
trick»—you can’t deceive them any
longer.
At first sight of a few official facts and
figures published by the populists vou
went into hysterics and began to twist
and wiggle, and bv the time you got out
your issues of May 18th eacb'of you bad
wiggled your foot into it cipar up to your
neck, and when last week’s R ecord
came out with a few unvarnished truths
taken from the official records, which
your parties helped to make, you seem to
have been thrown at once into the most
critical stage of tbe jimjams. You old
deceivers you know these conditions ex­
isted not only in Jackson county, but in
every county in Oregon, and every state
in the Union to a greater or less extent;
and bad you with others of your ilk of
journalists all over the nation done your
duty to expose to public view these ter­
rible conditions they would have been
righted long ago.
But at last the people are being aroused
and the pie-hunters to whom you are
pondering in hopes of more jobs like
those of old, and whose parties have
fleeced tbe honest tax-payes to furnish
jobs (or shysters, will get a sound thrash­
ing June 1st.
And oh! what a pitiful wail you sent
up about my figures keeping out capital­
ists and desirable classes, and saving
MONEY TO THE TAX-PAYER IN PLACE OF
GIVING IT TO THE PRINTER. Ah, old
fellows, it must be like pulling teeth to
get knocked loose, but you can’t always
have a pull at the public teat.
And experting those books! But now
come, Chslly, old boy, confidential: really
you would give one thousjhd dollars if
those books never bad been experted,
wouldn’t you? Now.Cholly, old socks,
you mustn’t get so rampant but stand up
and taice vour medicine like a good
little fellow.

Who is the Best Assessor Jackson County Ever Had—
“The Gang” Assailing Geo. A. Jackson, Questioned
His Ability and Lay Their Case on His Assessment—
The Whole Record Proves Conclusively That Jackson’s
Traducers Have Opened A Hornet’s Nest of Facts That
Unearth the Whole Truth and Demonstrate That His
Work was the Best and Most Economical Assessment
Ever Made.—Jackson Assesses 126,930.08 acres More
Land Than Wooldridge Did His First Year, He Takes
the State Census, Which Is One-Third More Work,
and It all Costs $80 Less Than Mr. Wooldridge’s
First Assessment.

CLOSING OF THE SCHOOLS.
ON A POLITICAL MISSION.
The Tour of Four Barrels of Old
Rogue River Whisky. It Leaves
Jacksonville Friday and Started
Out On Its Mission to Save Jackson
County For the G.O P.
On Friday a teamster named Olney Olsen
drove up from Central Point to Jackson­
ville and backed his team against the Beek­
man & Reames store building. The store
proper is the place of business of James
Drum, a grocervmnn. Under the store Is a
large cellar, in which cellar is stored several
thousand gallons of old Rogue River wbis
ky, owned by Hon. J. VV. Merritt, republic­
an nominee for county judge.
Mr. Ol-en presented his message, a smile
went up and down tbe countenance of Dr.
J. W. Robinson, the chairman of the re­
publican county central committee, who
immediately proceeded to business, assisst-
ed by that veteran old campaigner, ex­
Senator Tbeo. Cameron, republican nomi­
nee for county treasurer, Henry Kubli,
republican nominee for representative, J.
C. Whipp, party boss and member of the
campaign committee. Geo. Love, a veteran
in the cause and T. J. Kinney—everybody
knows Tom Kinney. Chairman Robinson
slid down the cellar door. Soon other old
Jacksonvillians were on the scene and four
big barrels of old Rogue River whisky soon
appeared in sight. An impiession that the
commotion was caused by the republican
c »mpaign fund tailing into a crack was soon
dispelled. Amidst a flow of wit and hilarious
remarks, and after each good republican
had hugged the barrels with a hearty hug,
the “precious freight” was put into the
wagon and Mr. Olsen proceeded on hie
journey home toJ. W. Merritt at Central
Point.
The old republican leaders had a good
time sending it along and many were the
predictions that it was the salva1 ion of the
grand old party in Jackson county. Tbe
boys felt so good they felt like converting
a popular song into “Good Bye Populists,
Good Bve.”
The goods arrived in Central Point all O.
K. Prof. Merritt placed Capt. Peter Ap­
plegate in charge. Everybody bad a good
time. With the exact method ot a

pensing was proceeded with. The pro

In the Butte creek section, and since then
the dispensers have become so thick all
over the county that thefe has became a
rivalry among them. It is reported to-day
that W. K. Price of Tolo and several of
the lesser dispensers have became jealous
of each other in regard to which had the
highest standing in the ranks. Some
times several dispensers get out of their
territory and work the same gulch un-
beknowns to each other. Some times they
hit the wrong Kind of a man, and when
Merritt hears of that he roars.
One of the dispensers went up Evans
creek the first of this week. As he was
going up he met several dispensers coming
down. The result wa.i that the too free use
of the bottle had an effect on tbe dispenser
going up the creek. Before he got very
far he was heard to ’Rah for Crowell and
Wakefield.
