The following letter received this
I week from H. C. Rich of Coolldge,
j Washlngon, will be of interest to
onr readers. There Is food for
thought In It and, should anyone
desire to write Mr. Rich, he will
undoubtedly be glad to receive the
correspondence.
Coolldge Wash., Dec. 24th, 190S.
A. E. Voorhles,
Prop. Hogue River Courier,
Grants Pass, Oregon,
Dear Sir: Two Issubb of your pa
per at hand for which kindly accept
thanks. The writer saw an exhibit of
the fruit from your section at Nat
tional Apple Show, Spokane, and are
now trying to get posted as to advan
tages and facilities of your section.
This particularly as regards the
road conditions that lead to your city
from outlying districts. Since arriv
ing from the east two years ago the
writer has been investigating the
needed Improvements for lands that
are somewhat remote from a market
and finds the most urgent is trans
portation facilities, above that of
team haul of three or four miles per
hour under load.
Owing to the strong demand for
eastern capital from sections that are
well developed and have tonnage at
band the financial element east only
will listen to the parties representing
the most favored localities and when
a deal Is made on bond basis (the es
tablished custom) the deal Is such
that not only the capital advanced is
paid back but as bonus the cream of
the profits of the transportation line
remains In the hands of the eastern
faction for all time to come..
If these lines arc profitable to the
eastern element is there any reson
why the Bame would not aply to local
capital provided it was within reach
of such capital. Again, sparsely set
tled districts, while having Just as
productive and valuable land as that
close to market, finds no attraction
in the eyes of the eastern capitalist
or settler, as the first demands ton
nage at a profit before Investing a
dollar and the second refuses to set
tle far from market with no transpor
tation method outside of his wagon
equipment.
This I find applies to districts from
10 to 20 miles from a market center
of marKet facilities and presume you
have roads leading from every di
rection Into the Interior of your
county.
The ideaof the writer has been and
Is, (who is an engineer by profes
sion) to convert the common high
way or such ortlon as may be neces
sary into a motor way for power
equipment and at the same time al
low automobile travel over the same.
This can bo acompllshed In a prac
tical way for about $2000 per mile
and make the motor way of cement
top coat with macadam sub base and
which Is acknowledged the only road
surface that will withstand the wear
and skidding of power vehicles.
Tests are on record where thU"
type of road way wears for years
with no expensive upkeep and under
very heavy traffic.
On a motorway of above type a
schedule of 20 miles per hour can
be maintained and 40 tons at each
haul. This in applying to sparsely
settled districts would fill the bill as
an outlet as the settler could get to
market 20 miles away In an hour
and return In same length of time
while with team haul of a couple of
of tons would require all day and far
Into night for return If not the next
day.
Telephone and rural delivery
would follow a line of this kind when
settlers enough were In the district to
justify a modern up-to-date electric
no trouble would be had (n securing
capital, and the owners of motor way
would bo In an Independent position
to dictate terms, etc.
As an advertising feature to draw
settlers do not know of a more valu
able one than a transportation outlet
going right by the doors of the place
where the Intending settlor la pro
posing to locale.
Are there any roads or roads that
have 20 miles out good productive
j land and the grade of road not ex
cessive. Also are there progressive
men In your territory who wouli be
II line with a project of this kind
after they had fully Investigated
and found all satisfactory?
The writer Is also looking for a
locality to make a home as be has
not as yet made a selection for one,
Am at present In charge of this
place, having 1600 acres of sage
brush land under water 'from a 3000
gallon per minute Oas Producer
plant. This Is all Irrigation from
start to finish and a slip In water
means Injury to crop and personally
prefer more natural moisture where
Irrigation Is not required constantly,
although do not care for excesive
rainfall, where one is drowned out
most of the time.
Addressed a letter to your com
mercial club some few days ago but
presume they have overlooked same
or are rather slow In correspondence.
Would bo pleased to receive your
views and In case It Is desired, can
run down and see your city and
have a personal conference.
Yours very truly,
11. G. RICH.
CATAKKII CI RK!
Xo Cure, .Xo Pay, 1st a Mwt
(ienrrouN Offer.
To get an antiseptic strong enough
to kill catarrh germs and not de
stroy, the tissues of the membrane
at the same time, has been a problem
which was never solved until the
discovery of Hyomel (pronounced
Hlgn-o-me).
Hyomel Is prepared from eucaly
ptus, the most powerful, yet henling
antiseptic known. Breathe It thru
the Inhaler over the Inflamed and
germ-ridden membrane four or five
times a day, and in a few days the
germs will disappear.
The Inflamed condition will go.
too, and the snuffling, hawking and
offensive breath, and the discharge
of mucous and crusts In the nose will
cease.
Then why should any catarrh
sufferer hesitate, when Pemaray has
such faith In Hyomel that ho offers
to return your money If after a fair
trial Hyomel does not cure catarrh.
A complete Hyomel outfit, Includ
ing the inhaler, costs $1 and extra
bottles, If afterwards needed, cost
but 50 cents. Hyomel also cures
asthma, croup, sore throat, coughs,
colds or grip.

to the dairymen: "Oregon Is destined
to De a great dairying state, probably
the greatest in the nation but before
we can reach this distinction, the
dairy herds of Oregon must be char

The Charter Commission at Eu
gene Is considering the advisability
of suggesting the Des Moines plan of
government. In brief, this plan calls
for five departments of business, the
council reduced to five members, all
elected at large, and all paid a fair
salary. Ench councilman would be
at the head of a department and held
responsible for the work In that de
partment.
