E. Q. Fcrrin of Soattlo spent tho

highly pleased with our country and
especially 1th our cllmr.to.
' Miss Grace Polk, who h- been
teaching school at Dudley came out
Saturday to attend tho teachers In
stitute. On Wednesday last S. H. Morse,
ono of tho pocttffice Inspectors, camo
out, and after inspecting our post
office onsigcd your correspondent to
t--ko him to the poctofflco ho wished
to ilslt and that afternoon wo went
xto Welieu. That woa tho first time
I had been thoro for several rears
and was greatly surprised to soo such
a marked chnngo in tho "place. Every
thlag as neat aa wax, and Mrs. Yon
der Hellen seemed to tako pleasure
In sb-wnj; us how rose? snd cspec
ially one that has grown in two years
so as to cover the entire end of the
"house We did not find Mr. von der
"Hellen at home, but Mrs. von der
Hollen and her son Carl rendered
Mr. Morse all tho assistance they.
could. The next day wo started for
Prospect via Derby. Here ho found
that the postmaster,Mrs. Chatrean,
was also awa7 from home, but her
daughter, Miss Myrtle, hor assist
ant, was there and had the books up
In fino shape. I noticed also that
they had been making somo substan
tial improvements on their place;
also that Lee Edmonson has put an
addition to his house. Passing on
wo stopped at Kolsos and had din
dor. Thoro wo mot Qeorgo West,
ono of tho forest rangers, on his way
out to procuro tools to work on tho
Mcdford-Cratcr Lake road. In pass
ing along I noticed all along tho
routo decided Improvements on tho
farms. After crosslug Kogtto river
and going up tho Flounce Rock grndo
wo found thnt Hon. John Grooves,
the supervisor of that district, had
opened up a now road alouj the bluff
overhanging Roguo rlvor, leading to
Ptospect, and cutting out tho sticky
hills and rocky part of tho road, as
It la on pomlco soil all tho way. Now;
arriving at Prospect r,t 5:45 p. m,
wo found that thoro was quite a num
ber of tonls thoro and a nunibor of
men employed on tho road. Among
theni was Mr. Hoidol, tho chief en
gineer, who was Just getting a gang
o fmen at work on tho now Flounce
Rock grade, and after that Is fin
ished it will be n pleasure to go from
horo to Crator Lake. Spondlng tho
night at tho Prospect, hotel, whero
Mrs. Hollenbeck presides, and uses
every moans to make tho placo home
like, tho next morning wo started nt
7 o'clock for Trail, only stopping
long enough to say hollo to our
friends Mr. and Mrs. Blanchet, who
bought tho Charley Knighton place,
wo drovo along by several flno farms,
retching Trail nt 11:55 a. m. Horo
wo found that Mrs. Mlddlebushor was
doing a thriving business and has en
larged her house. Sho reports that
sho is doing i. good business la her t
hotel and store. Aftor Mr. Morso
had passed on tho postoftlco wo pro-,
cceded on our way and found that ,
Mr. Stacy, tho road supervisor, had p
a gang of men working on tho road r
between Trail and tho ferry. Ho
surely deserves credit for tho work
ho has done on that pieco of road,
for It was ono of the worst places on
tho route from here o Crater Lake.
There was nqtholng of noto until we
arrived at tho Sunnysldo Friday eve- j
nlns at 5 o'clock and Mr. Morso took t
the P. & E. for his home In Rose-1

To Increase Value of Land
Ed Andrews Presents Somo Striking Figures in Argument for Support
of Proposed Amendment to Constitution Relating to Bonding for
Road. .
"Section 10, article XI. No county
shall creato any debts or liabilities
which shall singly or in aRfjresnte
exceed the sum of five thousand dol
lars, except to suppress insurrection
or repel invasion, or to build perma
nent roads within the county, but
debts for permanent roads shall be
incurred only on approval of a ma
jority of those voting on the ques
tion." Tho above section of our constitu
tion will be voted upon this fall at
our November election, and upon the
success of this measure being adopt
ed depends the future development of
Jackson count', as well as all of that
part of tho state lying west of the
Cascades.
Men engaged in the sale of real es
tate perhaps know better than any
other class of citizens what good
.roads mean toward enhancing the
'vnluo of fnrm property. Owing to
;the high price of land in the Rogue
Biver valley, wo are attracting only
those who are prepared to buy tho
higher priced fruit lands. The men
looking for farm lands from seven wo
twenty dollars an acre are going by
the thousands to Cauada, Eeastern
Oregon and the semi-arid districts
on both sides of the Rocky moun
tains. It is true that we have large tracts
of land in tho outlying districts suit
able for general farming, that can
'bo had nt a low figure; but the writ
er's four years' experience in the
ronl estate business he has never lo
cated one person who came here for
the express purpose of general fann
ing. We have a reputation for grow
ing fruit, and it is with us fruit or
nothing. Our home market is not
even supplied with vegetables and
horse feed. Thoro are thousands of
dollars worth of this class of prod
ucts shipped in annually to this
valley, and vet wo havn any amount
of land suitable to the production of
anything wo need.
All of tho land lying dose to trans
portation1 has been sold to actual
fruit growers, and very little of it
can be had at an advance figure over
the purchnse price Real estato man
aro 'daily carrying prospective buy
ers, who aro looking for orchard
land, back to tho foothills and un
the Httlo valleys, wheic some of our
best and richest land 'f to bo found.
Rut it is invariably a question of
roads; with every adyantage of
bohutiful Jooation, olevation, above
the frost lino, and sub-irigation and
all theso are outweighed by the one
great question of roads and roads
built upon scientific principles, roads
over which you can haul heavy loads
during the rainy season. Distance is
no longer measured by miles, but by
roads.
Farmers of Jackson county, f you
want to engage in a speculation that
will add an average of one hundred
dollars an acre to the value of tin
land you own, you can do so by the
investment of one vote for a chauge
in our constitution that will allow
Jackson county to raise money for
the building of permanent highways,
roads built of crushed rock on the
macadam plan, roads that will be
practically as good and dry as our
Medford paved streets during the
wettest part of the seasdh.
There is no use of censuring the
old methods, or those who have prac
ticed them; they are things of the
past. Our commissioners who have
had tho road building in charge in
the past have provon that they do not
understand tho first principles of
scientific road construction, but that
is no discredit to these gentlemen,
who have undoubtedly done their
best; they never pretended to bo en
gineers or rond architects. Now tho
time has come when we should do
a little rational thinking, and view
the mntter of improved highways
from a common sense standpoint.
Don't wait until election day to read
over the proposed amendment, but
post yourself now, and talk about tho
increase in taxes, for your taxes
will not bo increased We have ex
pended for roads this year in the
neighborhood of ninety thousand
dollars, and yet haven't a mile of
road built upon scientific principles.
You may point to the rond between
Mcdford and Jacksonville, and the
ono recently built between Medfoid
and Ashland. It is true these me
an evolution in tho right direction,
but the crown is made too high for
the width, and traffic is thrown in
pno rut, which will spoil any road.
Tako your pencil and figure for a
minute. Ninety thousnnd dollars will
pay 5 por cent interest on one mil
lion dollars, and leave forty thousand
dollars for a sinking fund with which
to pay your p por cent bonds; and
ono million dollars spent judiciously,
with the vnst amount of material nt
hand, would build first class roads
all over the settled part of tho coun
ty. Every man should make this
question of roads his particular busi
ness from now until election, for it
is the most important issue that over
enmo before" tho people of Jncksou
county.
ED ANDREWS.
