We don't like the way they do things in Jackson county; It con trasts too sharply with the way we don't do things in Josephine county. It brings home to us the crime that we are committing in letting our superior resources lie dormant while we are being outstripped by our neighbor on the south. Fourteen years ago a party of us visited Big Butte creek on a fishing excursion. In a stay of several days we did not meet a human be ing. There were a few settlers in that region, but we saw nothing but the primeval forest with Its great wealth of timber. It then seemed as if at least a generation would pass " the spirit of progress would cross the desert and utilize that wealth. A few days ago we again visited the Big Rutte country, going by way of the Pacific and Eastern railroad to Eagle Point, thence by stage a distance of eighteen miles to Butte Falls. The trip out from Med ford was a revelation of the spirit of which we complain. Where we bad before toiled over dreary miles I'" I of uncultivated land we now passed Hi vouch mile after mile of well-kenf ovcli.T'ds. uivin? promise of event wealth in the neav future. Even the aonarently hopeless desert is hununlng with activi'v. Tn every direction teams are sradinir. ditches are being dusr. roads built and homes are being erected. A fine boulevard has been graded through the desert, and It is the claim of the promoters that In a few years this old time desert will blossom as the rose. The Fish Lake Ditch company proposes to cover this whole tract with water, and thus make it one vast series of orchards. Whether it will lie a great success, or whether there are insurmountable obstacles in the soil itself, remains to be seen: but one thing Is certain, that In the push and energy displayed we have elements that will insure success, where success Is within the range of human possibility. As we neared Rutfp Falls we pass ed some of the old farms of the early settlers. There we saw fruit trees that looked as if they might be thirty or forty years old. trees ttiat have seemingly had no care or cultivation, yet they are breaking down with their loads of fruit. They give us a hint of what may be the future of that section with its splen did soil, water and climate when the spirit that is conquering the desert shall have laid hands on it. Butte Falls is a revelation. Situ ated on a plateau about 300 feet above Big Butte creek, with an air ,nnt fs lilt wlni. water as clear as 1 crystal, surrounded by thousands !i - timber in the world, and n soil that Is peculiarly adapted to the growth of all kinds of fruit, an abundance of water for irrigation and with the P. & E. railroad so nearlv completed that the cars will be running there within six weeks, it would be a rash man who would undertake to put the limit to future growth and wealth of this gem of Jackson county. We do not know the corporate name of the company owning the land about Butte Falls, but we are Informed that they hold not far from H.'.ono acres of that splendid timber, a body whose value runs up Into hundreds of millions. The r'a rifle & Eastern railroad opens this vast body to the market, and as It Is proposed to extend the line through the whole great timber belt to Klamath Falls, It will not take a prophet to foretell the future of the city that Is the center of their operat ions. We found Mr Mills, the .e.i!,-i! I manager for the con 'atr . re;'dv I give information to the en.o.-v , and equally r ady to help in any en terprise that looks to the Welfare of I the people Butte FalN has a fine is. hool bulldin;:. and they contem plate the erection In the near future of a high school. Surveys have been c-.to for -i water -xstiMii, and the little t of the forest will soon have the finest water of th state, and that means of the world While we were decVv Impressed with the gie.it possibilities of the ' Hon i-.st I wotide'-ing luot-i ret nrned r that .to- tlvn ev s- hire i outiM , w :: UleV. v possibilities the r.-ar We bae ;i i ;''th o!' timber, ..-!

Why the lack of confidence? Years ago the writer was accustomed to say to the business men of Grants Pass that the time would come when this section would pay the penalty of allowing the street corner pro moters to pursue their nefarious oc cupation promoting fake mining, railroad and manufacturing schemes. Today we are reaping the fruits of their seed sowing In the lack of con fidence that makes our people luke warm when anything really legitim ate is presented. The Jackson county spirit transplanted to Jose phine county would send thl3 section to the front by leaps and bounds. Will we have to wait the advent of new blood? Will we let others reap our harvest? That question will be decided within the next two years. Lands to Re Opened for Settlement. A dispatch from Washington says thousands of acres of unappropri ated lands which were eliminated from national forests and restored to the public domain by the recent proclamtion of President Taft will be thrown open to homestead set tlement this fall.

Backache is really kidney ache: That's why Doan's Kidney Pills cure It. Many Grants Pass women know this. Rend what one has to sav about It. Mrs. E. O.

Breathes there a man with soul so dead, Who never to himself has said: "My trade of late is getting bad, I'll try another ten-Inch ad." If such there be, go mark him well; For him no bank account shall swell, No angels watch the golden stair To welcome home the millionaire. The man who never asks for trade, By local line or ad displayed, Cares more for rest than worldly gain, And patronage but gives him pain. Tread lightly, friends; let no rude sound Disturb his solitude profound. Here let him live In calm repose, Unsought except by men he owes. And when he dies, go plant him deep, That naught may break his dream less sleep; Where no rude clamor may dispel The quiet that he loved so well. And when the world may know Its loss. Place on his grave a wreath of moss, And on a stone above, "Here lies A chump who wouldn't advertise." ALCOHOL-apiuM-T08ACM Cnt :. tiLiynuTnorii'a iww'i.-v in i:ic.'. v '"ii.
