The movement for It may fairly be italfi to have attained that dignity, falls, however, tn the one all-Important, rea son for the existence of such a move ment: There Is no demand from tin peopla at lnrge for a new atate. Tho flrea of secession may only be kindled from the coals and with the fuel of popular desire. Popular desire does not appear to exist. The people of Southern Oregon, and doubtless also of Northern California, are much too busy caring for their farms and orchards, working their mines, marketing their produce and de veloping their country In general to give much tune to thought of a new by our own delegation, nnd the Import ance of a region that proposes tn go Into the governmental business for It self and place a now star on the flag, cannot but be augmented In the mind of national officialdom. If Siskiyou proposed ever becom"s Siskiyou In fnct, the Crater I-nke road will bo built, for ana thing. Medford will get that coveted federal building, and perhaps the state cnpltol, Present political minnows will become political whales, and the call of public duty will surge strong In many breasts now per force unvlsltcd by that noblo emotion. While the stnte of Siskiyou will prob ably never get beyond the dream the dream thnt precedes all great endeavor while Pa constitution may never qonie nearer to being written than now, while Southern Oregon onrt Northern Califor nia mny never be given ft chance to quarrel over the location of the cnpltol, the Siskiyou movement is of undoubted advertising vnlue to this section. Granting the seriousness of purpose of the would-be sponsors of Siskiyou, It may be said that they will not have failed utterly even If nothing more comes of their activity than to let more of tho world at large know thnt the state.
