Few Facts About Prohibition in lane

Bureau of Statistics.
The following table, taken from the
United States bureau of statistics de­
partment No. 10, shows the number
o f retail liqnor licenses now in force
in Lane county under the prohibition
law3. There are 55 revenue licenses is­
sued in Lane county, which are dis­
tributed as follows:

Out of this total only 11 of these li­
censes were granted to drug stores,
leaving a net balance of 44 issued for
blind pigs, blind tigers, speakeasys and
bootleggers.
I have today deposited $100 in tho
Medford National bank subject to the
following terms, i. e., that if any per­
son can by authenticated data prove
the above figures to be not correct, or
can prove that there has been fewer
licenses issued under prohibition in
Lane county than were issued there for
a like period under high license, then
the whole o f this sum is to be paid
to the city park improvement fund.
It might also be worth while to note
:n this connection that Lane county
(prohibition) according to the govern­
ment statistics, has 60 per cent more
government liquor licenses than Jack-
son county (wet).

C E N T R A L P O IN T
The movement started in Medford
last Friday evening having for ita
object the awakening of public interest
in the matter of better roads for this
county is one which should be emulated
in every section of the county.
Perhaps no other question is of such
vital importance to the people of Jack-
son County at this time as is the mat­
ter o f improved thoroughfares, and the
only way in which they can be secured
within any reasonable time is by aa
awakening of public sentiment along
that line to such an extent that the
demand for modern methods and mod­
ern conveniences along this line will be
irresistable. It is the history o f every
section of the country eaBt and west
that good roads enhance the value of
farm lands more rapidly than any other
known agency, and, as the development
of this valley has only properly com­
menced, the people should take up this
matter of better roads and carry it
along with the development along other
lines which is now so well under way
Why not the county issue a series of
bonds for the purpose of building a
system of modern, decent highways in
this county and then go at the work in
a systematic way and under the super­
vision of some competent, practical
modern road expert who has made a
study of road building and who has had
experience in sections of the country
where they have been building some­
thing other than trails and cow paths?
The building of modern wagon roads
has grown to be as much of a science
as is the building o f railroads and is of
fully equal importance to the develop­
ment and growth of nny section of
country, and the Herald would like to
see the people of Central Point and
vicinity get in line for the organization
of a Good Roads League. Why not the
mayor call a meeting for the discussion
of this question?
