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.

But what has this to do with the

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

paid anything for this contemplated
improvement? If not, then lo with

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.
