Master Carl Winetrout, who has been caretaker of the farm, left for Grants Pass to Join his parents and attend school. We learn that Uncle Sam Cook, of Missouri Flat, Is very low and not expected to recover. Mr. Cook has been confined to his bed since July, when he acchiently fell and fractured an arm.

This Is the season to do road work ind It should bo pushed to comple tion as soon as possible so as to avoid being caught by the heavy rains. It Is Important to fill up all holes and low places and round up tho surface at all points. The old stylo drag will do this work better than anything else, as It presses down tho surface and at the same time raises tho cen ter, leaving the road so It will per mit the water to run of.' A good drag can be mnde of logs, put to gether the shape of n V with the top of the letter to go forward.

In many states this kind of a drag does good work. In some parts of Illin ois and Indiana dragging tho road Is considered so Important that fanners turn out to do the dragging along their own farms, not waiting for or expecting the road overseer io atteini to tuts important work. This Is done after a rain as soon as it Is dry enough nnd as often as It needs It. In those states fanners favor good roads ami mo willing t, do their part to secure them n,,.. county roads need looking after now and It will be a !;"'d plan for our f. Miicis to t. ke tS natter la hand '!1 I'.c .vl r.ads move ment. Transportation for the fast devel oping Gallce mining district and the lower valley has become a question of first Importance. It Is Important not only to the mining, timber and agricultural Interests of the area comprehended, but to the commer cial Interests of Grants Pass as well. Because there is at this time a lack of direct communication with Gallce, the business men of this city are los ing a considerable percentage of a trade that for the past year has aver aged $8000 a month for general merchandise alone, while more than $150,000 has been spent in machin ery, tools and mine equipment de vices. This trade of right belongs here, should come here and 'eertaln ly would come If It were possible for the people of Gallce to reach their natural commercial center with rea sonable directness. Some effort has been made in re cent months to arouse interest In the building of a railway, either steam or electric, down the Rogue river val ley, and a plan Is now being advo cated to secure state aid for the con struction of a thoroughfare from Crater lake to the sea, following the river grade. But with the exception of the state road, the projects ad vanced have been rather nebulous and none have been crystallzed into anything definite. In the meantime, Grants Pass is deprived of a large and rapidly increasing trade and Gallce is denied the shipping facili ties its mineral development justi fies, and that It should of right have. The situation Is vital enough to warrant concerted and determined effort to secure the construction of this line. There are practically no engineer ing difficulties In tho way of building an electric road to Gallce. In the 25 mrfes of river to that camp there are two splendid power sites one at Hell Gate and one near the Lewis ranch at the mouth of Taylor creek and below Gallce the river offers several available places where elec tric power could be generated In any amount desired. The water grade of the valley could be followed and at no place would construction cost be excessive, while the cost. of operation, after electric power Is once developed, is, of course, very small.., Gallce alone will provide enough business to mnke an electric line a paying enterprise, and its con struction will mean a rapid expan sion of mining and an attendant expansion In the volume of traffic. The present expensive cost of freighting to and from the railroad at Merlin, which today appreciably retards tho development of the camp, would bo overcome and a more satisfactory service rendered at normal rates. Today It is impossible without financial loss to ship ores that average less than $60 per ton. With an electric line ores that aver age $20 per ton and Gallce can furnish thousands of tons of such ore can bo profitably shipped for treatment. With cheaper transporta tion the developed properties will largely Increase their output and the prospects of merit will rapidly be de veloped Into producing mines. Sup plies for tho smelter, the mills and the cyanide plants now constructed can then bo secured without the handicap of excessive cost that em bargoes enterprise. In a word, a stimulus will be given to every form of mining activity and a traffic do. veloped that assures financial suc cess to an electric line. There would also bo other sources of profitable income besides the rail way earnings. Many of the mines at Gallce would be glad to purchase electric power and they would pay well for it, while a considerable- volt' age could be sold for power to farm ers In the valley and for lighting pur poses along the route and in nearby towns. The building of an electric line means much to Gallce much to Giants Pass. It will connect n won derfully rich mlnlni; district with the ''Juiiierclal (enter of Josephine conn ly and It will give needed facilities to the fertile reaches of the valley I'etwcen.

A A TEMPERANCE COLUMN. Reduction In the assessed valua tion and Increase in the rate of taxa tion Is the story that begins to come to us from the towns that have been held up as examples of prosperity built up on the open saloon. And why not? Can wealth come from that which produces neither wealth nor manhood? The product of rum Is death, and rum's seeming prosperity is but the phosphorescence of decay. Figures of n "Dry Town." Danville, Ky. voted dry in April, 1908. On and since that time there has not been an open saloon in the town. Mr. Frank. Talbdtt, a business man of prominence, has written for the "Danville Methodist" an article, in which he gives the figures from the records for the year ending May 1, 1909, during which the town was dry, and the year ending May 1, 1908, when the town was wet. These figures are very Interesting. We re produce them . The first comparison touches the moral aspect of the ques tion. A great deal of noise is made over the probable financial loss which the expulsion of the saloons will bring. This, of course, is not the highest view to take of the question, but It is worthy of consideration, and here follows a few facts bearing upon It. The total revenue for the dry year was $4,530.15 greater than for the previous year, when the saloons were open. In other words, the pub lic revenue for the year during which the saloons were closed made good the $10,062.50 loss by liquor licenses and had still a surplus of $4,5.10. G In other words, there was a real in crease of $14,593.15. Mr. Talbott well says: "It Is worthy of special note that every course of revenue shows an increase except that of the police court fines." The figures for these are as follows: For the wet year, $8,137.86, and for the dry year, $4,246.84 a decrease of fines col lected of $3,891.02. It is plain to any thoughtful observer that this de crease must be more for the prosper ity of the town than all other in creases combined. The cost of feeding the prisoners in the city Jail for the dry year was $1,069.95 less than during the wet year. The costs of maintaining the courts, jail and police were $1, 332.46 less than during the wet year; the costs of maintaining the alms house and out-door poor were $229.01 less for the dry year than for the wet ye.ar. Twenty-five re presentative men, dealers in dry goods, clothing, groceries, furniture and shoes, were selected, and they reported sales for the dry year of $44,133 In excess of those for the wet year. Tho banks at Danville show an increase on deposits in inter est bearing certificates of $131, 891.29 over the wet year. There was an Increase. of thirty per cent In the building permits granted. At the time of the closing of tho sa loons, there were In the principal business sections of Danville fifteen or twenty vacant stores. The closing of the saloons added to these eigh teen store rooms. Today there are less than half-dozen vacant stores In the same territory. The Danville Railway & Electric company shows an increase In receipts for the dry year of $2,804.38 over the wet year. The postoffice receipts are $1,088.38 over the wet year. The books of the commissioner of revenue show an Increase of a million dollars In tax able values over the wet year. Now mere are ir.e racts garnered by a careful hand. We wonder how many of our dally papers will reproduce them. Religious Herald.
