NOT ENOUGH FROM PRODUCTS.
LIE GRANTS PASS OBSERVER calls attention to
A the neglect of truck fanning in the vicinity of Grants
Pass. The same conditions govern at Medford and
throughout the Roinie River Valley. With the richest
and most productive soil in the world, with an ideal cli
mate, with instant response by nature to every effort
made in cultivation, we are too lazy, or too shiftless, or
too helpless to supply our own necessities. ,
Says the Observer:
"Farm products sell higher in Grants .Pass than in any
other market in Western Oregon. The farmers do not
produce enough staples to supply the home demand. Many
.carloads of hay are shipped to this city from outside points
every year. A considerable number of alleged fanners
buy hay. The price of hay here today is $20 a ton; and
has been so for a year past. Alfalfa flourishes and three
or four crops can' be harvested every season. What is
the matter with the farmers, anyhow?
"Potatoes grow luxuriantly, but for the most part
dealers handle the Willamette valley product. The price
here is exceptionally good. Never less than $1.25 a
hundred, even when the same potatoes arc selling north
at '10 cents. Yet the farmers do not commence to grow
enough of them to supply the local market.
"Nearly all grain used here for feed is brought in from
outside the district.
"This is a district of forest, and wood is a burden on
the land. Yet fir stove wood sells for $7.50 a cord, and a
portion of it is imported. With the most magnificent
timbei' area in the world, perhaps, lumber is being brought
here from the outside.
"Until a few years ago, most of the butter consumed
in Grants Pass was brought in from the north, but three
creameries now nearly meet the requirements. Eastern
eggs are still sold here.
"Meat is brought here in the carcass from Portland.
"Kruit is the only product that relieves the situation.
Standard fruits are in abundant supply, at satisfactory
prices. Rerries fairly meet the demand, but they sell at
about double the price that is paid in the Willamette
valley.
"Cultivators of the soil in this district ought, to be
getting rich, and many of them are, but there is something
wrong when the production is not equal to the local demand."
WEST'S PENITENTIARY COUP
D
fiPEAT of the good roads bill providing for the em
plovment of convicts upon highways in the recent
session of the legislature, was due principally to the efforts
of Lowenberg, Goring & Go., who feared that it would in
terfere with their contract for prison labor in the manu
facture of stoves.
' Governor West has executed a coup by permitting
Lowenberg, Goring & Go. to violate their contract with the
state in order that he might declare the contract cancelled
or wring from the contractors concessions which will limit
the number of convicts they can employ and so permit the
use of prisoners upon highways or other out of door work.
Governor West has demanded a revision of the con
tract as to employment of prisoners with the alternative
of rendering the agreement null and void. Under the con
tract, the manufacturers were at liberty to demand a mini
mum number of 150 convicts or as many more as wanted,
thus preventing the state from employing convict labor
upon highways.
The executive's reform program at the penitent ian
consists in a general clean-up, of both men and institution,
the construction of a plunge bath and the inauguration ol'
hygenic and sanitary regulations heretofore neglected.
The prison is to be made spotless, and the governor an
nounces that every state institution will in its turn receive
his personal attention.
FOR CLUSTER LIGHTS
1 UST of the moves toward the city beautiful is the sub
stitution of cluster lights on Alain street for over
F
head arc lights that give at best a spluttering illumination.
The city has contracted with the power company to
supply the current at a reasonable figure and the cih
foots the bill. The property owner is expected to fur
nish the posts, which will be manufactured locally anil
will cost not to exceed $:i5 per post.
Practically all of the progressive cities of the country
have adopted this method of illumination. .Medford lags
behind the other communities in this regard, having per
mitted such smaller rivals as Grants Pass to appear more
progressive in the eyes of the stranger.
A petition is in circulation for signatures by property
owners agreeing to install the cluster lights' on Main
street. The posts will be purchased by a committee to
be named by the signers. Every owner should see to it
(hat his name appeal's upon the list.
Cluster light illumination has been endorsed by the
Greater Medford Club, by the Medford Commercial Club,
and by the various improvement dubs; the city council has
made it possible, and it is now up to the Main street prop
erty owners to do their part. Pew of them miss a chance
to raise rentals. The should be equally progressive in
civic improvement and heautification.
At am rate, lure is a chance to go on record.

That Safe
Feeling
Isn't it nico to come to a nice, new, clean, upto-.
date store like this and at the same time feel that
you were perfectly safe in every purchase?
Safe, first, because you know absolutely that the
quality would be all that could be expected.
Safe, secondly, because you could trust the store
to make a right price and not have that feeling that
because one article you bought was cheap that the
next would be too high in price in order to make up
for the one sold too low.
