GOOD ROAD SAMPLE DEEDED.
r
l Some thirteen mouths ago the first street paving was
constructed in Mqdford. As a result, t(n miles of addi-
timinrstreet paving aVfc Itlready petitibned for this year
fnnd the close of tho year will see thirteen miles of paved
; thoroughfares and Medford the host paved city in the
? northwest.
It only needed a demonstration of the advantages of
.K paving to make everyone want it. It only needs a demon
stration of the advantages of good roads to make everyone
want tliem.
The methods of building roads in Jackson county are
wrong. It has been thoroughly demonstrated that gravel
is almost worthless in comparison with crushed rock. The '
$79,000 spent last year upon the roads has not brought)
$79,000 worth of results, and the highways will never be
satisfactorily constructed until modem methods are
. adopted.
One mile of good road will have the same effect upon ,
. the county that one paved street has had upon Medford, !
and it would not be long until every section was clamor
ing,for,it. :
ADVANTAGES OF IRRIGATION.

air IS PLAN
Few realize the immense advantages that will accrue to
the valley by the construction of an up-to-date irrigation
'system, such as that projected by Engineer Cummins and
associates and already under way.
Irrigation will bring into cultivation many thousands
'of acres now barrel and bring into the valley thousands
of homeseekers. There is no land that with water cannot
be made to produce some kind of a profitable crop.
The average farmer p Oregon has never appreciated
the value of irrigation as a crop insurer. It may not be
needed all veal's, but it always assures a good crop in what
otherwise might be off years because unusually dry.
Foothill lands are made by water more valuable than
valley bottom land because freer from frost. Eventually!
in the progress of the valley every acre will be in 'demand)
and under cultivation, hence next to the Pacific & Eastern, i
the irrigation project means more for the Rogue River
valley than any scheme yet under way.

WATERWAYS REPORT FILED
(Continued from page 1.)
prices Is tho opinion today of Pat
rick Cudahy, president of tho Cuda
hy Brothers Company, packers. Cud-i
ahy declared,. however, that thcprlce
of livestock must be lowered before
that of meat as the dealer must have
a margin of profit.
"It Is the farmer who will suffer,"
continued Cudahy.
The lack of reliable statistics on
wator transportation and a condition
of government reports termed cha
otlo aro condemned and It Is recom
mended that a uniform method of
collecting statistics bo enforced. The
construction of a canal Is not en
couraged because of the oxpeneo of
acquiring lands and the Immense cost
of construction and tho commission
recommends that natural waterways
be used wherever available.
"Etravagance" Says Ripley.
SANTA BARBARA, Cal., Jan. 24.
"General increases In wages and a
rapid Incrcaso of money In circula
tion aro among tho causes of high
prices" declared E. P. Ripley, presi
dent of tho Santa Fe railroad system,
who Is here today for a winter vaca
tion. "But exeravaganco Is the para
mount cause," continued Ripley.
"Most housewives, whoso husbands
earn good wages, will pay three times)
as much for goods In fancy packages i
than for tho goods without frills,"
Thoso who heard Ripley's remakrs
recalled a recent cartoon headed "A ,
foolish question brings a foolish an
swer," Tho picture showed a row of
corpulent gentlemen each tafgod with
a label of a food monopoly and each
answering "why tho present high '
prices?" with a polntlnf of fat thumbs
at tho humble consumer and tho ro-
ply "he cats too much."
J,OS ANGELES, Cal., Jan. 24. A
comprehensive Inquiry among the res
taurant men In Los Angeles today es-;
tahllsbed the fact that there haB been
a great falllntr off In tho nnln of
meats In tho majority of tho cafes
and restaurants within the last four
days.
"Although wo have Increased our
prices somewhat during tho past few
months, no changes have been adopt
ed in tho last week," ho said. "It
is not tho fow extra cents to which
my customers object as much as be
ing held up by tho moat trust."
All arrangements for tho mass
meeting Wednesday evening, which
haB been called by tho central labor
council to protest against tho high
prlco of foodstuffs, havo been com
pleted. It Is believed that a large
vote to abstain from meat for at least
30 days will be polled.

Fish Lake Dkch company, and Mr.
