PROMISES.
If nil our promises were kept,
What busy people we should be;
How many who have sighed or wept
Might have in sweet contentment
slept
And bravely clung to glee !
If all the promises we make
Wero made with fair good will,
How many hearts would cease to
ache,
How many friendly ties that break
"Would bind us fairly still!
If promises were meant to he
.Fulfilled without regret,
What gladness, we should hold in
feel
We promise things so easily,
So readily forget! Ex,
A POLITICIAN'S DREAM OF A
CITY.
1 "The union of voters is needed
jnst now more thnn nnything else in
sight," said tho politician.
"And this union of voters is hound
to come. I believe thnt, to begin
with we's going to get direct primar
ies, nnd also tho initiative, referen
dum and recall mighty fino institu
tions, becnuso thoy put big questions
right up to the voter and so tend
to make him think. But these ain't
tho only weapons. I've been n good
deal of a boss mysolf in a humble
-way in the last ton years. I've been
too close to politics to think we can
do without n machine. And I want
a new machine, one that is run from
tho bottom up. That sounds simple,
but it uin't. It's tho toughest polit
ical job this town has over tackled.
It'll tuke years of getting the crowd
together in a dozen kinds of ways.
"A new political party, or an old
ono made over again, so built that
whether its leaders want to or not,
they've got to stand for the people,
all of 'em all the time. A new polit
ical party and organizations of nil
kinds to bring voters together, and
then mako 'em think, muko 'em ppen
their eyes, and mnko 'em keop on
wanting more and more of the afore
said swiftly cheapening riches of tho
earth,
"Along about fifty years ago a
certain agitator framed up the fol
lowing littlo speech:
" 'Of the peoplo, by tho people, for
the people.'
"That'll do for a dream of a city
for me." Everybody's Magazine.

THE PASSING OF
A CORVALLIS paper finds, fimlt with tho Mail Trib--
uno for referring to "Willamette Valley people as
mossbacks.
The truth always stings, and you have to sting a moss
back to wake him up.
The Willamette Valley is one of the most wonderful
valleys in the world. Its possibilities are realized by but
few of its inhabitants. Its development is still in its in
fancy. Its awakening has been painfully slow, its prog
ress equally tardy.
Corvallis and other tow nsare awakening. An era of
street and municipal improvements is now under way, but
every improvement has been only after strenuous oppo
sition. In Salem, street paving was held up for a year through
injunctions by a wealthy citizen. In other towns sewer
systems and water works have met equal opposition.
Most any progressive movement can figure on opposi
tion in the Willamette Vallcv. Its inhabitants have hith
erto opposed any public issue typifying progress. They
fought the state university, opposed good roads legisla
tion, battled every innovation designed to upbuild and
improve county and population.
Willamette Valley farms have been half farmed and
allowed to deteriorate, under shiftless and unscientific
methods. Orchards have been permitted to become pest
laden, yielding only bugs and moss. Towns have, until
recently, worn a tired and hopeless expression, and high
ways and streaks of mire a large part of the year.
The mass of inhabitants became provincial and nar
rov and new ideas flew by them as the trains that passed
in the night. So through the years they acquired, by their
isolation and stubbornness, the nickname of mossbacks.
The day, of the niossback in Oregon has forever passed.
Every year sees their domination grow less. The Willam
ette valley, along with the rest of the state, has aroused
from its lethargy. New blood has stirred the old and ai
few more veal's will see the Willamette Valley niossback
one with the traditions of the past, for the' handwriting is
on the wall.
PORTLAND INDORSING HIGHWAY.
T HE favor with which
X t i-i.w ,r
ojuih; iiSiicV uj iuunu ouuawiynuii "-"
in Portland is sllOWll by the following editorial from the
Portland Oregouian, which has never previously indorsed
,. . , . I,
the project Ul any ferm:
"The raroiect of a boulevard from Medford to Crater
, , ., ,. , .,
jjukc lias me active aiiu eiiuiusiasuc support, ul a oouy ol
citizens in Southern Oregon who usually succeed in what
ever they set out to accomplish. The scenic wonders and
beauties of Crater Lake are famous, but unfortunately
they are practically inaccessible to the average tourist
and sightseer. It has long been planned to build a boule
vard into Crater Lake Park from Medford, and it was
thought, when the recent state legislature appropriated
$100,000 for that purpose, that cherished dream was in
a fair way of fulfillment. But an unpoetic court inter
fered and declared the appropriation act unconstitutional,
so that the boulevard, if built, cannot be a state-supported
enterprise. That is to say, not officially. But actually it
is possible for Oregon and Portland to show that it is not
unaware of the remarkable possession it has in Crater
Lake and its surroundings. It can be done by making it
practicable to build the road. Medford has subscribed
$30,000 of the necessary $100,000, and it is probable that
Jackson county and other counties too, will give some
thing more. Portland is solicited by Medford to join that
enterprising city and Southern Oregon in this picturesque
enterprise. The response no doubt will be liberal."
The Oregon Journal, which all along, has been favorable
to the project, has had two editorial endorsements this
week, the second of which follows.
"Portland people can well afford to subscribe liberally
to the Crater Lake road. There is but one Crater Lake in
the world; there is no equal to it; it will draw tens of thou
sands of tourists annually, when it is made easily access
ible, and nearly all these will come to Portland and stay
a while. Portland can easily give one-fourth the whole
amount desired to raise by subscription."
DO YOUR SHARE AT ONCE.
MEDFORD cannot afford to fail in anything it under
takes. The Crater Lake highway must be built. To build it,
liberal subscriptions must be had from Portland and other
cities. It is a state-wide project, for state-wide benefit
and deserves state-Avide aid.
To secure this aid the co-operation of the leading citi
zens of Mcdiord is needed. Those who can spare the
time should visit acquaintances and business connections
in Portland and other cities and solicit their support.
Those who cannot should write personal letters request
ing that members of the committee in Portland bo given
the subscriptions, and notify the committeemen to call.
It is a large task Medford has undertaken. It is the
first time such a thing has been attempted and the at
tempt must be made successful.
Therefore, Mr. Citizen, it is your duty to see that the
effort succeeds, and you can do this by visiting Portland
yourself or writing letters to those you can interest and
writing them at once.

excavations in what he confidently
believes is the lost cold mine of the
historic San Gabriel mission.

in the construction of the mission,

came upon data that enabled him to
locate the diggings, nnd for two
weeks he has been pushing a tunnel
into the side of the canyon.
The news beeamu, known in Mon

An assay of the oro removed from
Edwards' shaft, it was reported,
