THAT seoti6li d tho Orator Lako highway, built by
popular subscriptions raised by tho Medford Com
mercial Club is something for every member of the club
and every contributor to the fund, .to be proud of. It is,
without exception, the best piece of roadwork in Oregon,
and stands as an enduring monument to the enterprise
and energy and stamina of the people of Medford. It
is a sufficient answer to the mossbacks of Oregon whoso
shortsighted, reactionary policy prevented the state from
making accessible its greatest natural wonder.
This stretch of highway is our road. We, the progres
sive people of Jackfeon county built it. Therefor we aro
proud of it. The road is 2.7 miles in length and has eli
minated the greatest obstacle to Crater Luke travel.
Pumice hill. A wide, smooth boulevard of easy grade has
been cut through the solid rock of a precipitous mountain
side, replacing an almost impossible grade, in places as
great as 36 per cent, always knee deep in pumice dust.
No one who contributed his mite to build this road
can travel it without a sense of pride. The work has been
well done, along broad lines. Engineer B. P. ITeidel of
the governmentgood roads bureau, who did the engineer
ing, Contractor Natwick, who struggled along on hand
to mouth basis doing a creditable work under difficul
ties, Colonel F. H. lay and the banks who underwrote
the subscriptions and the county court under whose aus
pices the section was completed, all have, reason to be
proud of the result of their efforts.
This section of highway is only a start towards what
will ultimately be the finest road in America, equal, in
scenic effects to any in the world. It marks the awaken
ing of Oregon to the commercial as well as aesthetic value
of its natural wonders and beauty spots an awakening
pioneered by Medford. But more than all this, this bit of
highway is the best example of the Medford spirit the
spirit that knows no obstacle to balk its creative energy
that pulls unitedly for the common good.
Some three years ago, Medford started its Crater Lako
highway effort We enlisted every one that we could in
the campaign. We sought co-operation of state and na
tional governments. We talked Crater Lako so much
at the legislature that the august assemblage set aside
$100,000 for the road. The Salem hog, who wants all
state money for Salem, enjoined the appropriation, and
the supreme court sustained the injunction. Then we
started the popular subscription, and raised some $25,000,
all but $2000 or .$3000 in Medford. The entire route was
surveyed, the contract was lot. the subscriptions under
written, and this section of the road finished.
Governor West proposes to utilize state prisoners in
constructing a state highway from Salem to Portland.
There is noreason why some of these prisoners should
not be utilized in constructing the state highway to
Crater Lake. This is a practical way to secure the build
ing of the highway at slight cosf.
Crater Lake belongs to the nation and to Oregon. It
was set. aside bv congress ttnd. dedicated "as a national
play ground to the people of the United States and their
descendants, forever," and the people of the state as well
as. the people of Medford and Jackson" county, should
share in the making accessible of this region of great na
tural beauty to the end that a never ending stream of
humanity, attracted by the serene and mystic beauty of
this greatest of natural wonders, may wind its way through
Oregon.
Optimism and Team Work
(By William Parker.)
All of the great builders and pro
moters of the world are optimists.
This is true of every age and every
country, as it is true tcday. If you
cannot see big things in tho future of
your town, then step back into the
ranks. To be a leader you must bo
an optimist. If you are an optimist,
you have the basic qualities for lead
ership. Optimists are essentially big
men. Men can make themselves big
ger by becoming more optimistic.
Community optimism is Cn.scntiul to
large community growth. If a stran-'
ger looking for a location should land
in your town and see only gloomy
faces and hear only pessimistic talk,
he would very likely take the first
train out. Location seekers nic io-i'k-ing
for growing spots, for '.owns thil
have "go" in them. It is not neces
sary that you should have d lot of
skyscrapers and big fucinriei umicr
construction to show to the loculiou
seeker in order tonttract dim.
Itemember, it is men thai make the
cities'. The manufucairer who is
worth getting to your town knows
this. lie wants to' locate among peo
ple who have optimistic vitiws. If lie
is a business man worth' having in
your midst, he is too wiso" to loctitu
among pessimists. One good opti
mist will oiitwiegll a ImrulreJ pessi
mists with the wise locatiou-seckrr.
This men lis that you deed not despair
because there are pessimists in your
towii. Every town has thorn. Thuv
ure necessury. They are the gov
ernors on the engine. Optimists are
the rest of the engine and li fitcniri.
Team work is absolutely and posi
tively tie'cssnry 'to tho g'owth 'of
every largo, undertnktii','. Whether it
is private dr public business, if it re
quires tho work of more than o'ne
man, this implies the absolute neces
sity of team work. Team work ulolio
can build towns into great cities. Ope
good optimistic booster can brijig
enough yital force into team work to
push 'a jown forward. A few enor
getio optinnsls, with team work
idea fixed (m their minds, can briig
into' action enough ' vitul force to
move the dullest and deadest towti
into life nnd growth. All that re
mains for them to attain the desircl
end is intelligence 'and proper plans
to engage the aroused activities. J?
you have no commercial club of some
sort, then the very first thing to do
is to form one. The next thing is to
tell it as far and as wide as you can
that your own is up and doing an J
on its way to greatness. YouK grout
task then is to attract sufficiently to
your town. You can do this only
through intelligently directed public
ity.
Do your share in publicity work by
subscribing to the Medford Commer
cial club fund.

NEW GRADE
DELIBHTS Alt
Section of Crater Lnko HlQhwny
Built by Popular Subscription,
Pronounced tho Best of Pleco o(
Road Work-In Orcnoti.
Members of tho party that visited
l'rospoet Sunday as iriiest of Colonel
Frank 11. Hay, nr loud in thvir
praises of that' section ot the Orator
lake' highway built by popular sub
soriptiou through the Medford Com
uierciul club. Thuy proiiouuuu it
uitliout inception, thu finest piece of
road construction in thu statu and the
greatest improvement yut utiulu in the
roads of thu county. It is UO foot
in width, '2.7 tuilos in length, has i
maximum grude of 4 per cent, and
can be traversed at u swift pacu by
either auto or team. It has entirely
changed tho, trip to thu lako by re
moving its greatest obstacle the
I'limico hill grade.
Generally speaking, tho road to the
lake was never in suuh good shnH as
at present, though cut up badly in
newly graded and pumice ht retches
by thu heavy teaming done Tor tho
I'rusjK'ol power plant.
Supervisor Grieved has just fin.
ished a section of new road extend
ing through the forest to Skookum
gorge, about four miles from- l'ros
peot. Tho forestry service has rebuilt
tho worst parts of . tho highway
through tho forest reserve, ami cut
away the brush. Contractor Xnt
wick has established it camp near
Elk creek luul bus the coulrnut for
straightening and widening u mile of
the worst part of tho road between
Trail and Knynrl's. In the national
park, Superintendent Arrant is busy
overhauling the road.
Preparations for the care of tour
ists nro better tha never. Accom
modations can be secured at Allen's
or Middlobusl's il Trail, at Knyurt's,
near tho mouth Of Itig Butte, at the
Prospect hotel and in the park and
at the lake.
DERBY-ROGUE
ROAD FIHISHED
i
First County Highway Showing Signs
of Engineering Skill, Completed
Easy Curves and Slight Grades
Shortens Distance to Upper Rogue.
The new Derby road between eight
and nine miles in length extending
from Derby to tho Itoguo river, and
crossing tho latter with. a new steel
bridge ut thu mouth of Big Butte, has
been completed, and bids fair to be
come one of the finest roads in tho
county. Easy curves and slight
grades prevail. It is wide enoligh to
allow two teams to pass and is tho
only rond yet constructed by tho
county which shows engineering
preparations.
The new grade is largely through
rock und is rough for travel in its
present statu on account of thu
sharp broken rock, but it is tho in
tention of the county to roll it, whiuh
will give it a smooth surface. Heavy
teatning, which is now being douo for
the Prospect power plunt, will also
tend to make a smoother surface.
The contractor who built this sec
tion has also been awarded the con
tract for rebuilding a uiilo of thu'
worst section of road between Kagla
Point and Derby., dhd Is now at work
a few miles this Hide of, Derby,
Tho Derby roud will shorten tho
