TV THE democrats in tho house of ronrosontutives nuuli
- good their throat to keep congress in session all summer
in ease the senate ret uses to net on certain measures passed
by the representatives, the statesmen at the ennitol will
No??rIn"tT subjected to a number of discomforts. Washington is
uoi uuiu on a sire iiini wouiu ne seiecieu lor a not wen hut
resort. Yet congressmen have endured its humid and
heated atmosphere before, and probably the members of
the sixty-second congress are the equals ot their predi
cessors in the qualitv of their physical gifts.
Leaving out of account such sessions as the first of the
sixty-first congress, whose 14-1 days of deliberation lasted
until August 5, and the second of the fiftv-third congress.
which reached adjournment m August US, 189 1, after sit
ting 2GS days, there are to be considered as precedents the
d04-day session ot the tiftv-hrst congress, beginning on
December !2. 1SS9, and not ending until October 1, 1S90,
and the first session of the fiftieth congress, opened on
December o, ISbf, and lasting 'Ml davs, or until October
20, 1SSS. The second session of the fortieth congress lasted
345 days, from December 2, 1SG7, to November 10. .1SGS.
but there were recesses from Julv 27 to the end of the ses
sion, and no business was transacted after dulv 27. "While
nominally this was the longest session in the history of
congress, lasting almost a year, the members actually es
caped from "Washington in good season.
So, should the unbending patriotism of the democrats
on the one hand, and the unfaltering devotion of the re
publicans to the welfare of the country on the other, keep
them in Washington all summer, then hardship would be
only such as others have borne heretofore. But their suf
ferings will not arouse much sympathy in advance. There
will be ample time for the production of political capital
in the long session of the sixty-second congress, which will
begin on December 4, a fact which is not likely to be over
looked bv either side.

To tho Ktlltor: Permit mo to add
iv little to tho subject of a (Untight
road to Central l'olat. Slneo my
rommtinlcntlon a tiny or two ago 1
find that a great Interest In tho mut
ter has developed, While In a gener
al way wo all know that tho county
court contemplated Improving tho
road between Medford and Central
Point, we never thought that they
proposed Improving It In tho splendid
and substantial manlier contemplated
In their present action. Otherwise
the matter of placing tho costly Im
provements on tho shortest ami best
route would hnvo received more se
rious consideration.
If a railroad or private corporation
had the mutter of such expensive
Improvements under advisement they
would Investigate over feature of the
situation and would thoroughly ex
plore every part of the country trav
ersed to find tho shortest and host
route before making such permanent
Improvements. If one-half mile can
be saved It will mean a saving of 2&0
miles per day, counting nil the travel
passing over tho route, which nt ft
cents per mile would cost tho public
$1S. SO a day or 1-1600 per year, or
G per cent on $75,000. Thso things
would all bo considered In railway
construction. Another Item: Central
avenue is already paved for over ono-
half mile nearer than nny other thor
oughfare.
There has never been nny revision
of tho present county rond since the
early emigration passed through the
valley before Its settlement In lSO.
The requirements of the emigrant
travel were wood, water and grass,
and these requirements were met by
keeping as near Hear creek as possl
ble. Hence tho location of tho pros
ent county road unchanged for over
60 years except where the Improve

'THE most modern and-ndvniieed ideas upon penology
will be introduced into the army method of handling
garrison prisoners, according to ordei-s .just issued by
Major General Leonard Wood, chief of staff. The new
regulations will not applv to militarv convicts, but onlv nienl ot 'i"""""" 'and claims pushed
to those sentenced to confinement and hard labor without !' ou.t ? lt8 Kfnera,.c"r9e '
being discharged from the service.
The purpose behind the new regulations is to give the
prisoner every opportunity to make good, instead ot dis
couraging all effort toward good behavior. Under the
new orders, garrison prisoners will be allowed an abate
ment of five days of their terms of confinement for each
period of twenty-five days of good conduct. On sentences
exceeding three months they will be allowed the five days'
abatement for the first month, and thereafter ten days'
abatement for each period of twenty days' good conduct.
Abatements thus authorized mav beforfpitod whnllv or in

A garrison prisoner who has served one-half of a sen
tence of ten daj's or more, according to the new orders,
may submit a request to be put on probation for the re
mainder of the sentence, and if his request is granted may
be restored to duty on condition that if his conduct is not
good while on probation he will be required to serve the
t remainder of his sentence.

To the Editors The most' beaut I
ful boulevards in tho world In the
most beautiful cities of tho world,
such ns Washington, D, C, and Do
trolt, Mich., are built on curves and
angles.
There Is no particular beauty In n
straight line, and especially so for u
boulevard when It parallels a steam
railroad, with Its tooting locomotives
and rattling cars, and tho gns and
smoke from tho engines greeting
your nostrils, nnd the dust nnd cin
ders pelting your eyeballs ns they
surely would with a boulevard par
alleling the southeast stdn of the
S. P. railroad track from Mcdford to
Central Point.
Such a proposition should not have
the attention of , the commercial Clubs
of either of tho townH, nor tho en
couragement of any considerable
body of the taxpayers of tho county.
Hulld tho asphalt' macadam road
on tho present county rond between
tho two cities and tho county will
have ono of the most benutlful boul
evards to he found anywhere, and
ono thnt will bo. a credit to' Jackson
county and tho Hnguo Hlver valley.
Already property ownors on both
sides of this county road are plan
ning to build and to beautify their
homes, and other prospective homo
builders ,arc looking for lots and
acreage along each sldo of this high
way, because or Its proposed Improve,
mont, and It will bo a rank Injustice
to tho dwellers utid taxpayers on this
hlghwawy not to make tho road im
provement as at first intended.
This boulevard, with Its pleasing
curves and angles and with tho beau
tiful homes that will bo built on both
Hides of It, will bo a much more pleas
ing prospect to tho pleasure seeking
or business highway traveler or
farmer than will a boulevard high
way bounded on ono sldo forover by
a straight lino of railroad right of
way with Its everlasting flying dust
and dirt and Intro ties and iron rails
anil rolling stock with Its rattlo-ty-bang,
and tho other sldo lined up
with back yards nnd rear ends of
farms for yearn to como,
With the provnlllng winds from tho
north and west carrying tho dust,
dirt, smoke, gaH and microbes of dis
ease from and across tho railroad
and boulevard rlfiht Into tho faco of
homes along tho ono lono sldo of
such a boulevard prosperous, progres
sive peoplo at least will not locate or
build homes In such a place,
Hulld the now macadam road whoro
It wns first planned to build It, and

where It ought to bo built, nnd no
one Is Injured nnd not only tho pres
ent residents nnd taxpayers on that
road will be benefited, but tho en
tire surrounding communities as well,
and the country will he beautified
nnd praised by everybody ns It never
can be with the paved road parallel
ing the S. P. railroad right of way
Instead.
Hulld the new nspluilt, maendnm

flue homes and buildings with green
lawns, flowing fountains, flowers and
vines, beautiful gardens nnd every
hlcgsod growing thing on each side
of this paved highway that this mar
velous Itoguo Itlver valley Is eupuhlo
of producing.
Compare this boulevard, with Its
grateful, winding curves and angles,
past beautiful homes nnd through
bowei- f roses and a garden fairy
land on each sldo, with a dreary,
dusty, smoky, "stralght-as-an-nrrow"

stretch of uncultivated soli and un
sightly wire fences and then consid
