NO-ROAD WORK
IN WASHINGTON
Legislature Adjourns in Wee Sma'
Hours Without Passinu Reapport
ionment or Stato Roads Extra
' Session is Petitioned For.
IT IS to be hoped that the Carnegie library will not be
located on the block owned by the city between the
city park and the "Washington school. Some other site
should be chosen, as this property is altogether too valu
able to be used as a site for such a building. Let the board
call for bids, and the rivalry between sections will produce
the site.
This block of land cither should )5e kept as a park or
sold as business property and the proceeds used to pur
chase an adequate park in the outskirts, or offered the
county as a site for a costly courthouse. Once locate the
library upon it and it cannot be used for other purposes.
The Carnegie library building will cost $20,000. To
spoil a $100,000 location by, a dinky $20,000 structure is
not good business judgment. There ought to be plenty of
sites available for library purposes that can be obtained
at a reasonable figure if not offered free.
The Carnegie library doesn't appeal very strongly to
the Mail Tribune. It has no admiration for Andrew Car
negie and does not think much of the city's co-operating
with him to erect a monument to keep his name green for
futurity and that is all that it amounts to. Medford is
absolutely able to build its own library building, when
needed.
Carnegie, whose self-satisfied smirk is in every maga
zine, made his money by exploiting the public. lie cor
rupted the government to secure millions -by means of an
unjust and oppressive tariff that pauperized the many to
enrich fhe few. lie swindled it selling armor 'for battle
ships. No slave-owner in history ever treated his work
men more like chattels than this self-styled benefactor of
humanity. "When they could bear it no longer and struck
.this guardian angel of peace had them shot down like
beasts and imported the peasant hordes of central Europe
to take their places.
Tainted money can build libraries so that the babes of
the future can lisp his name, but not all his millions can
buy Carnegie the homage or respect of the discerning.

WALT MASON, the Kansas poet, has broken forth
against the Ben Davis apple in one of his charac
teristic effusions, in which rhyme this, time predominates
over reason. Sings the poet of the Kaw:
"The Ben Davis apple is lovely in hue,, it seems to in
vito you to step up and chew. Lt's pretty and shapely, its
profilo is fine hut J do not long for Ben Davis in mine.
To out a Hen Davis is wastinc vour time: it tastes Ukc a
mattress and drives you to crime. L ate a Jicn JJavis Avnen
I was quite young, and now 1 recall it whenever I'm stung.
It taught me a lesson, a lesson T prize; it sharpened my
wolf-teoth and opened my eyes. And now when a faker
comes up to my door, to sell mo some stock in a mine full
of ore, I think of Ben Davis, and say to him, 'Nix,' and tell
him to vanish and pelt him with bricks. And when L en
counter an oily-tongued jay, too sweet and too gracious
for man nmde of clay, professing affection approaching
to love, think of Ben Davis, and give him a shove. L
read in tho magazine pages of men who'd make us all
wealthy, again and agaiiy they're brokers or dealers in
moonshine and mist just send them two bucks and they'll
mail you a list! Their glittering spiels don't appeal to my
wits;' I think of Ben Davis, and throw a Tew fits."
Yet the Ben Davis is nearer a gold mine than a gold
brick, especially in the Rogue River valley.
The Ben Davis hails from Missouri. So does tho writer
he's got to be shown when tho Bon Davis is decried.
Four years of close observation of the fruit industry
proves that this plebe among aristocrats of the applo king-,
dom is just as profitable as any apple grown in the Tfogue
River valley. It may swipe the booby prize at all applo
shows and be the object of ridicule and laughter but it
annually yields a profitable crop.
The Ben Davis is a hardy tree and easily cared for.
I. ike the common people, it escapes many of the fashion
able posts that prey upon the four hundred. It is a prolific
producer not every other year, but every year--averag-ing
a larger crop than higher prized varieties. The ap
ples keep well, tire of handsome appearance, and good
flavor. They stand shipment and find a ready sale wher
ever offered. '
Ben Davis are today selling at $1.00 a box not f. o. b.
Medford, and there is a demand for more than the sup
ply, and apple prices have been lower than usual this sea
son. For (lie past five veal's Ben Davis have netted around
this figure and there is more profit to the acre and to
the tree in Ben Davis at $l.f0 a box than in many of the
fancy varieties at $2.00 a box, or oven at .$2.f0 a box not.
Ben Davis is an applo for the multitude. Experience
proves this. A peddler can make more money selling Ben
Davis than any other variety. It has the size and the flesh,
and though the epicure turns up his nose, its flavor is
goinl, too.
So hurrah for old Ben Davis, the pioneer applo of Ore
gon and still a staple profit producer in tho days of the
I'onuneivuu orchard. v
