EXPERT ELDRIDGE ON JACKSON COUNTY ROADS
JOSHUA PATTERSON", in his proclamation to voters,
gives as the real reason why ho still seeks a third term
as comity commissioner after having been defeated in the
primaries, as the true cause of his struggle to keep at tho
county crib another four years, his "wish to'continuo tho
work of building good roads in Jackson county."
In order, then, to holp tho county out, patriotic Mr.
Patterson is making a strenuous campaign to sacrifice four
more years of his time at tho scanty compensation allow
ed, so that we can have some more of those fine old. patent
ed Roman elevated highways of his with their corrugated
washboard surfaces.
Mr. Patterson's desire to save us from o'wsrlves would
be funny were the results not so serious. .Tackson county
highways are a business proposition, the most serious one
before the voters of this section and materially affect our
future welfare.
jUx. Patteron, no doubt, honestly thinks that he knows
all there is to know about highways, that he is a veritable
Christopher Columbus of good roads, that unless he is
given another term the road movement will collapse, and
that the material progress of the county demands his re
tention in office as a sort of perpetual guardian and pa
ternal overseer.
That is the pathetic part of it. Mr. Patterson does not
realize his own shortcomings in methods and system. No
matter how faithfully and conscientiously he may have
served the couutv. or thought he served the county, his un
scientific, slipshod construction methods have been out
grown and will not answer longer. The county has out
grown them.
The October number of "Good Roads," a magazine de
voted to good highways, has an article on "The Road Sit
uation in Oregon," written by Maurice 0. Eldridge, ex
pert of the good roads section of the department of agri
culture, who visited and lectured here early last summer.
Commenting upon Jackson county roads, Mr. Eldridge
says:
"While Jackson count' lies almost wholly in the Rogue
River valley, one of the richest and most picturesque val
leys in the state, and has an abundance of good road mate
rial, so far very little progress has been made in road build
ing. A road is now being built between Medford and Jack
sonville, the county scat, the material consisting of crushed

screens, and the tailings, which contain rocks three or four
inches in diameter, are used for a foundation. The fine
material, which is placed on the surface, soon disappears,
and the larger materials work to the surface.
"The need of skilled supervision is very apparent in
Jackson county. If Jackson county would devote a portion
of its large annual appropriation to the employment of a
skilled highway engineer, much better results would be
obtained without increasing the present outlay."
