JOLTS AND JINGLES
By Ad Brown
A FIVE TO ONE SHOT.
N Tho fact that a leading Huffrngette
Is named Porritt shows her real place
Is behind the tea table.
Tho magazine Llfo offers $100 for
tho best tltlo to a picture they pub
lish. Among acquaintances were four
who sent "Old as tho Pyramids" and
two who sent "Tho Nihilists." Too
bad -hey can't all win.
GENERAL MANAGER O'BRl EN of (ho Southern Pa
cific has announced that his company will .mild a new
railroad from Eugene to Coos Bay.
The announcement probably follows an attempt by lo
cal people to construct a railroad and is a repetition of the
tactics employed so long to keep Oregon bottled up by
scaring out bona fide builders.
In Roseburg bets are being made at si to I that the rail
road from Eugene to Coos Ray will never be built by the
Southern Pacific. It can be built from Roseburg with
only sixty-live miles of railroad, as against 1125 from Ku
gene and a long funnel, but the Southern Pacific won't
build either unless forced to.
Five to one is a good bet against the Southern Pacific
ever building any new lines in Oregon, save as in the Oes
ehutes canyon, to block some real builder.,
A few .real's ago, -Sir. O'Brien announced a railroad
from Drain to Coos. A bluff was made ou starting con
struction enough work done to scare off competition, and
then work ceased.
Last year, when there seemed a prospect that an inde
pendent road would be built from Grants Pass to the sea,
Mr. O'Brien announced that the Southern Pacific would
build a line. It killed the rival road but no road has been
built by the Southern Pacific or will lie, unless Hill builds
from Medford.
It is not so long ago that Mr. O'Brien announced tlit
building a railroad through Malhucr Canyon across cen
tral Oregon from the east. It is still on paper, and likely to
stay there, along with other Ilarrinian system extensions.
A Eugene paper says that Mr. O'Brien "will never al
low his word to jeopardized." It is to laugh.

AINULLION and a half dollars is a large sum of money
though not any too large, and probably not large
enomrli. to construct all the permanent roads Jackson
county needs But before the people are asked to vote up
on the expenditure, it is but right that the public be fully
taken into confidence by the county court, the methods ol
construction outlined, the specifications adopted and the
routes chosen for permanent improvement be made known.
. It is true that everyone thinks he understands road
building and that there are fifty-seven varieties of roads
already in Jackson county, few of which are upon right
lines of permanent road building. It is true that people
who do not understand conditions and others too ignorant
to understand and still others with irons in, the tire will
find fault and criticise. But no matter what the results
this is to be ejected.
This paper favors good roads and large expenditures
for them, but it thinks it a mistake for the county to at
tempt to build roads itself, and a mistake for the county to
make large expenditures for road building machinery.
Roads should be contracted according to approved speci
fications and the specifications lived up to. Let the con
tractor furnish the machinery and stand its wear and tear
and loss.
Without a doubt the county court will express itself sat
isfactorily upon all points at issue and the progressive i)eo
ple of Jackson county can pull unitedly for a system of
permanent highways.
