Ought to furnish a crown of Joy until the onorning after. 1 One prominent Medford man who would like to see the eagle scream pn the fourth is now trying to dis cover a method to make tho roosters keep still for the other days and , nights In the year. by views of famous mountain scenes abroad contrasted with those of northwestern scenes. Southern Oregon and Northern California contain more natural wonders", more wild and rugged beauty, more picturesque scenery than any part of the globe. Within easy distance of Medford. a few hours ride with good roads, are the towering cliffs and snow clad sentinels of the Cascades and Siskivous: the water tails, and gorges of the Ivogue; the mystic waters of (.'rater Lake in tlie midst of a scenic wonderland; the Klamath lakes and the lava beds of the Modocs, the marble halls of Oregon, the vast forests primeval of redwood and pine, and a rugged and picturesque sea coast. The good roads of Europe mean more to the nations of that continent than the railways. The American tour ist travel, the life blood of Europe, goes almost wholly over the highways, leaving a never ending stream ol revenue in its wake. Railroads for commerce, but high ways j'or tourists is a recognised condition. Southern California, alone on the coast, has cultivated the tourist. It is, in the way of natural beauty, the jioor cst and least worth while portion from a scenic view point, of the golden west. But. it secures ten sight seers to one for this section with something worth while to offer, be cause it has realized its opportunities and made what it has accessible. Southern California has found that, good roads pay as an attraction to the tourist, even without beauty spots. now much more they would pay if they led to world famed natural wonders, can be imaged. - Tn neglecting tourist travel, which would come with good roads, Oregon is neglecting one of her greatest as sets. These highways must, be built and the state must aid in their construction. And the cheapest, most prac tical method possible to build these highways of national importance is by utilizing the prison labor of the state. when the people ot Oregon shall have awakened to their opportunities, as the people of Southern California have, this will bo the most prosperous section on the globe. And the first step in the transformation is good roads. tt Ht H4 COMMUNICATIONS. 4 The Central mini Houd. CICNTUAli l'OINT, Or., Juno 17.

A calf walked home ns good calves should, And left a trnll all bent askew, A crooked trnll as all calves do. t And wo followed do not laugh The first migration of tho calf; And Thro that wlntllug Journey stalked, Ilecauso ho wobbled when ho walked." One teaspoon full of soda In sour milk w.11! rnlsoas much dough as twlco that amotnt of baking pow ders. r Ono half teasnoonful of gasoline will make all tho curves necessnry to follow fhe shaded way. Human nature crops out oven In alfalfa stacks a third of tho over won't always glvo their true height. Those thnt are wldo at tho bottom and slopo upnt half pitch -aro built to sell; those that stand straight and tall with a bulge thrown In for good measure are unoro apt to be fed on tho place. But what has this to do with the short cut to Central Point, the ono the calf would havo taken If a gang of deer files had been after It? Just this, let's build all our stacks alike; some day we aro going to have that short cut, If it Is a short cut, or whether It Is or not, wo aro with you; It's'just the auto drive wo want out along Riverside drive, then the short cut back to town. And now, while I think, let's get right after It and open up thoso barren pastures, cut them up Into half-acro tracts, put wator on them plant trees, make the desert bloom; you know dol"B such work saved Faust, but until then let's tako our visitors out through tho way tho calf laid out when ho wob bled. " And all of us out this way are go ing to plant shado trees; wo are grateful that wo havo been favored, nnd aro going to show lhat apprecia tion; wo will do our part to make Rlversldo drlvo ono of tho prettiest stretches In tho auto boulovard from Portland to San Frunclaco. Muyhe some day we will navo iignts aim fountains and flowers all along tho way. Why not? Yours for good roads ovorywhoro, CHARLES WESLEY. light niigliH ns against u ivad with an curves or angle and which shall he one half milu shorter. To a certain extent tlie purposes of. tho road should in) considered. This is n general utility road, not a park drive only, aijd it is hoped lhat homo day it inny fonn u pnrliuu of n great state thoruughrurc passing through Jackson county. As a utility road, reason would dictate the shortest and iuiclicl route. This thnroiighl'nrn will (illicit ly become u great road for auto mobiles and ns such every driver of oars knows t"ho evilM of right nn gles in the line of Irnvo), not only aro the turns dnurorouN and hard on oars, hut it does not give the. dviv- er mo proper opportunity lo see ahead and avoid possible aeeidentn. Neither does it gio team drivers the opportunity lo aoid ears agiiiu this road is' 'building for eternity, und whcio is the niuthcmntilinn who can figure out I lie additional expense that will be caused bv eouiielliii; tho entire public to travel one hull' mile further every time a trip tn made between Medford and Central Point. It has been objected, that a botilo. vard should not lav contiguous to a rail road right of way. As "smolu cinders, dust, whistle, microbes, tunc ties, iron rails, rolling stock, and rattle ty bang," would he sniiieihiiig awful. Answer; the promised now location doe- not lie contiguous to the railroad right of way. It paral lels it at a distance of UK) feet he Iween the inside limits of the two roads, and who can Imagine nn. thing nicer than n boulevard paral leling- a railroad at just such a di tanee. Again; this new rond is to he grade, and the grade can be much more cheaply constructed over the new than over the old rond. Again, it is offered that Ihe laud of the proposed road is dry and beare,i. Answer. It is under irrigation, and only needs an outlet such as is eon tcmplatcd, to immediately stimulate nn nppliention of water to tlui soil, which -would soon transform it into "gwn hiwns, flowers nud vinos, flowing fountains, beautiful gardens and every blessed growing thing." It has nlso been objected In on tho grounds "that an injustice would he done those along the present rond m as much as many have already coutemplputfd building because of the proposed new improvement. An swer. Whore is the hiju'tieof Echo answers. Whore? Have those x'ople paid anything for this contemplated improvement? If not, then lo with hold Home thing from them that they have never contracted for certninly. is no injustice. Jonah complained hecnustf a certain gourde win with ered, nnd he was answered that he neither laboured for it or mnde it to grow, and the inference was thai he wns not justified in his com plaint. If tho old rond is out of repair thou by all moans let us repair it. Rut that does not neeessnrly con template a macadam road. And us this piece of road is built for the good of the general public, tit a heavy expense from the public fund then it is the public who should ho con sidered. And private interests siiould step aside for publiu good. Rttild this new rond ai)d you will immediately see nice now homes oil each side of the drive, which will be just that much in addition to those already on the old rond and the country from Medford (o Centnl Point will be the most beautiful piece of country in all Oregon. Let the Commercial Clubs in both cities get busy. Let tho property owners along the proposed new road get busy bv donating right of ways and what ev er additional they can feel like do nating, and let tho genera! public get busy before it is overInshif too late, and let us have this rond located where tho public will be tho most benefitted.
