Another step forward for medford.
The Southern Pacific company, through General Man
ager J. P. O'Brien, has promised Medford a $50,000 pass
enger depot, the largest in Oregon, outside of Portland. It
will be of concrete and brick, steam heated throughout, in
terior finished in Oregon fir, and modern in every detail.
The depot grounds and right of way will be parked.
The new depot will be considerably larger than those
recently constructed at Eugene and Albany, and the same
size as' that erected at Walla Walla, Wn. It is designed
to fill every need of a city of 50,000 inhabitants, which
shows that the Southern Pacific is building for the' future,
realizing Medford 's future. And the best thing about tho
announcement is that work will commence within two
weeks.
The Southern Pacific is justified in erecting tho largest
depot outside the metropolis, in Oregon, at Medford, be
cause Medford gives it a greater business, both freight and
passenger, than any city in Oregon outside of Portland.
The volume of business, both in number of cars and in cash,
was greater in 1909 than in any other city and railroad

HOGS IN SECOND PIGHOOD
(By Eph L. Musiok in tho Del Norto
Record.)
That sectional strife is becoming
rampant on tho Pacific coast hns
been quito woll evidenced during the
oast few months. On tho heels of
be recent setback administered no
ho embargo, South California stnto,
nothor phantom ship of stulo litisi

liondqunrtors, but for similar rea
sons. Then, off with your hats to

or Los Angeles is, and Los Angeles
thinks it is nil there is south of To-
hachapi. Tho real troublo is that
California has bred tho same old
hog onco too often. Tho old hog has
reached her second pighood. and, of
a consequence, has gone back on her
motherhood nature. Tho samo is
truo of Oregon. Tho "PortlanO hog"
nnd tho "Salem pig" rofuso to share
their hnrbor improvement slop; henco
a squeal from tho littlo piggies.
In tho movo to create tho now state
of Siskiyou, seemingly, but two
counties, Jnokson of Oregon and Sis
kiyou of California, nro tnking tho
initiatlvo and doing nil tho boosting.
California counties mentioned would
head such a call. Editor Given of
tho Wenvcrvillo Journal, tho only'
paper published in Trinit" county, '
after copying from tho Bee an nc
count of the Jackson county moot-'
ing, comments: "The above item
would be laughable if not pitiable,
and pitiablo if not laughnble." Werej
it possible to get tho consent of ev-;
cry voter of tho fifteen counties, tho
result would be but a drop in the
bucket to what would then bo un
done. A stnto ennnot bo divided un
less a majority of tho stnto so olect,
according to the United States con
stitution; and, in the life of our gov
ernment, but one stato has been di
vided. In 1803 West Virginia was
cut from Virginia, but in the divis
ion election a majority of tho malo
population, being in secession, did
not vote. For many years to come
state pride in California, duo to self
creation, will not allow a single foot
of territory to bo alienated. In .Or
egon, that pride is not so great; but,
if tho "Portland hog" now controls
tho political destinies of that stato,
how does Jackson county expect to
free itself? Will it not bo another
case of a fox without a tail trying
to persuade all other foxes to part
with theirs?
Tho writer has had tho good for
tune to visit every county of tho
proposed state all but two quito re
cently and believes their interests,
similar in every respect, would bo
far better looked after if they wore
brought together under a now stale
government; but woll, "What's tho
Use?" Tho time will come when tho
Pacific ocean will bo tho western
boundary of nt lenst two now states.
Until thnt time comes, would it not
bo wise for thn dissatisfied voter
of both Oregon and California to
soparato themselves from tho influ

Good roads meetings held in Portland have accomplish
ed nothing beyond raising a purse to hire two or three
speakers in a "campaign of education." This may be
needed in the mossback sections of the "Willamette valley
where heads are so thick they have to be cracked by main
strength to get an idea into them, but the poor roads of
the present ought to be education enough to convince even
the Silurian oi the need of good highways.
A campaign of education cannot be half as well con
ducted by orators, who only reach a small element of the
people, and most of those who turn out to listen do so be
cause they are already advocates of good roads, as it can
through the press of the state. A press bureau to supply
to all newspapers constantly, the arguments and details
needed, will do a hundred times as effective work as any
number of speakers can. Practically all the papers will
print this matter free and so make good roads possible in
Oregon by securing the needed votes to enact the constitu
tional amendment.
