Tho present method of rond build ing, especially west of the Mississippi, developed from the biased trail.

City newspapers of today are filled with advertise aents of wildcat orchards where some speculator has ought up a farm at a cheap price, planted it to fruit, sub ivided it, and is unloading on the public, using as bait the records of the few really successful fruit belts. Most of these new orchards are experiments, with chances against their producing a commercial product. Prices are higher in the Rogue River valley than in these wildcat districts, but not as high as in other proven fruit regions, and it is better policy to pay more and get something than to experiment with an unknown quantity or to buy a pig in a poke.

TTill in Oregon, whose inspection of the Pacific & East ern and the proposed Rogue River valley trolley line, though in an individual capacity, led to reports of Hill's connection with the same, the "World's Work of January speaks as follows: "Mr. John P. Stevens was recently appointed presi dent of the Oregon Trunk Line railroad, a little road that is to be built from the Columbia river down into the heart of the neglected countiy. "The task looks small for a man who served as chief engineer of the w,hole Great Northern system and was called to the gigantic task of building the "Panama canal. "But, in truth, it is no small nor unimportant task. It puts dr. Stevens in the front as the new hope and salvation of Iregon. "Por today, as yesterday, Mr. Stevens is a 'Jim Hill man.' His new appointment means that the long railroad deadlock in Oreoron is to be broken, and that tho Inifm un- peopled area of that state, which is as big as New York, EuGe! ll TmTzT?V& is io get a real raiiroau.

"The task is a big one, and the man also is big. His experience carried him into the front with the men that built the early transcontinenntals in Texas, in Colorado, in Washington, in Canada.

With the sunshine gaily playing on hill and valley, with the thermometer at 65, with the south wind pressing soft caresses, who would not live in the Rogue River valley? Here it is, tho 21st of January, and as balmy as a May day. En tho frozen oast, traffic is still tied up by blizzards, and snow covers city and field. The groundhog has not yet come out of his hole to seek his shadow and the ice king holds his frozen carnival. It will be months hefore such a day as this brings warmth to cheer to rich and tho poor.
