Ashland Normal Notes.
Timothy Brownhlll Speaks Out.
Commenting on certain actions of
the recent Press meeting at Portland
Timothy Brownhill of the Gresham
Heraid thus states his views on the
squelching o f certain resolutions, in
which we heartily coincide:
“ A mistake was made in not per­
mitting the reading of the resolutions
referred back to the house by the com­
mittee for the reason that they—the
committee—were not fully advised con­
cerning, and therefore not in a position
to pass upon them intelligently. Polit­
ical and censorship methods will not
for long win favor in any body brought
together to study and plan for the good
o f all.
“ Every editor in the state knows
that The Oregonian has, upon several
occasions, placed the Oregon Editorial
association before the people of Oregon
in a bad light. Articles and flaring
head lines published in the morning
paper have accused the editors of
Oregon of meeting for and planning to
hold up the politicians of the state for
increased rates on political advertising,
etc , when the facts are that every
member present at any of the associa­
tion meetings stands ready to swear
that at no time has such action been
taken by the members of the associa­
tion either singly or collectively.
"The writer was one of the members
protesting against these flagrant and
unjust statements on the part of The
Oregonian
He was asked by the
chairman of the committee on resolu­
tions to draw up resolutions protesting
against the continued misrepresenta­
tions of the Oregonian. This was done,
with the result that the report was
squelched through the efforts of a few,
not because the facts were not true
(all admit that), but because these few
did not wish to hurt the feelings of the
Oregonian, and the few prevailed
because but few voted.
“ The Putnam case is identical with
that of the Oregonian in so far as the
committee and some of the members of
the association are concerned. None
doubted that tbe rights of the press of
. Oregon were in jeopardy: none doubted
but that some move should be made
toward the making of new libel laws,
and protesting against the decision
rendered in the Putnam case—but there
you are again—a few got cold feet, and
the rest —well, the Putnam resolution
is a thing of the past.’ ’

A few Facts About Central Point.
Climate.
From a climatic point c f view,
the Rogue River Valley is the
most inviting section of Oregon.
Here is found the mean between
the two extremes of excessive
humidity and extreme aridity.
The annual rainfall is from 20
to 25 inches sufficient for all
crops without irrigation. Rains
fall from November 1st to April
1st, with timely showers during
the remaining months except
July and August,
which are
usually dry. Snow occasionally
falls in January, but does not
remain long. The temperature
ranges from 20 above in Winter
to 90 above in Summer, but the
Summer nights are invariably
delightfully cool and pleasant.
The elevation above sea-level at
Central Point is 1290 feet.
Soil.
The soil ranges from the rich,
black alluvial deposits of the
Bear Creek bottoms—than which
there is no more prolific soil on
earth—through the rich sandy
loams and decomposed granite
soils of the more elevated por­
tions of the valley to the clay
soils of the foothills.
Industries.
Fruitgrowing,
dairying and
mining are the principal indus­
tries,
although stock, grain,
alfalfa and lumbering are im­
portant.
Fruit.
The principal commercial fruits
at this time are apples, |>ears,
peaches, grapes and melons.
Nectarines, plums, figs, almonds,
peanuts and English walnuts are
successfully
grown.
Melons
ripen early and are in great
demand in all the markets of the
coast because of their fine flavor
and general excellence.
All
kinds of small fruits, berries and
vegetables do well and corn
makes a crop almost, if not quite,
equal to that of the Missouri
Valley.
Mining and Timber.
The mountains north, west
and south of the Rogue River
Valley are rich in gold deposits
and for more than 50 years the
placers have yielded fabulous
wealth. Rich quartz ledges have
also been developed and more
are being opened up every year.
The modern mining dredge is
also in successful operation and
other plants are in course of
construction.
The foothills of the upper
Rogue River are rich in timber,
comprising the finest belt of
Sugar Pine in the world, besides
vast forests of red and yellow
fir and other valuable timber.
The town has a population of
about 750 and is rapidly growing.
It has three church buildings—
Methodist Episcopal, Baptist and
Christian—and
the
Christian
Scientists also contemplate the
erection of a building. It has
one of the best public schools in
the state, a high school, a live
newspaper, a strong bank, three
hotels, one livery stable, a modern
flouring mill, an excellent co­
operative creamery, two barber
shops, twelve stores, two marble
works and three blacksmith shops
Dairying.
Central Point.
The valley is an ideal location
for the dairyman, the wonder­
ful fertility of the soil assuring
a perfect growth of all the best
grasses and forage plants, such
as timothy, alsike clover, alfalfa,
Winter oats and corn. While the
eastern dairyman’s cows are
shivering in barns during the
Winter months, the Rogue River
Valley cattle can go to the pas­
tures every day and graze on
luxuriant feed the year around,
while the prices received for
dairy products are almost as
much as those that prevail in the
eastern cities.
Being centrally situated in the
valley. Central Point is the most
desirable shipping and trading
point in this section. It is the
nearest railroad point to Crater
Lake, the coming Mecca for all
lovers of Nature’s wonders, and
being the nearest sub-station to
the immense power plant of the
Rogue River Electrical Co., the
town enjoys the lowest light and
power rate of any town in the
valley, if not in the entire west.
This section is exceptionally
healthful. Typhoid is of rare
occurrence and malaria is un­
known. while the usual afflictions
of childhood are mild in form.
Here we find a happy medium
between the excessive rainfall of
the Willamette Valley and Puget
sound sections and the too dry
and warm sections of Southern
California. While the Winters
are mild, they are more bracing
