TOLKDO, Or., Aug; 12. Officials
of tho Tolcdo-Siletz Railroad and
Navigntiou company stated toduy
that work on tho Silctz division of the
proposed lino from Toledo to Dnllus,
Or., is to commence within 00 dnys.
It, Ss expected that tho lino will bo

fare and progress of the county. Yet it believes that time
should be taken to carefully outline the proposed program,
to ascertain just how much money is needed, what it is
needed for and to then ask the required amount. Work
cannot be undertaken before spring, so there is no need of
haste, or of going about the matter blindly.
One thing is certain, full and definate information must
bo forthcoming for the voters, not only as to routes, but as
to methods and means of construction, where and how
the monev is to be expended.
A leaf can be taken from the experience of California
counties. In San Uicgo, when the good roads agitation
started, three of the wealthiest citizens volunteered to
act as an advisory or supervisory road committee. They
sent to the federal good roads department for an expert,
who mapped out tlw highways needed, made preliminary
surveys, prepared specifications and estimates of cost
Upon these estimates, the county voted the necessary
bonds and contracts were let.
Jackson county can secure the same assistance from the
government or from the National Good Roads Associa
tion at nominal cost. There is enough good citizenships
to volunteer assistance to the county court. AVe believe
that the people will cheerfully vote the needed money, once
convinced that the money was to be properly expended
in scientific permanent construction.
The size of the proposed bond issue need not frighten
anyone. A million and a half doUars tor a caunty assessed
at '$36,000,000 is not too much. Estimate as to cost, how
ever, should govern the size of the issue.
A single California county, Los Angeles, litis issued
$10,000,000 road bonds Another, Sacramento, issued $0,
000,000. Sau Joaquin county issued $1,890,000 and sold
all about $000,000, getting as premium $10a.7.l. Other
counties in California have done likewise. The bonds draw
5 per cent, maturing in from 3 to 40 veal's and selling at
a premium.
The state of California has voted $3S,000,000 for ststte
highways, in addition to county expenditures.
Pennsylvania is soon to vote on a bond issue of $50,
000,000, for good roads, and all accounts are that it will
pass.
Alabama has voted bonds for $1,230,000.
Colorado proposes an issue of $10,000,000.
Connecticut, bv bonds, taxation and otherwise is spend
ing $7,000,000.
Maryland, -with a bond issue of $5,000,000 and local
revenues, is to expend $0,250,000.
Massachusetts, by legislative appropriation, licenses
and oilier income is to spend $3,300,000.
New Jersey, from appropriations and otherwise, is
expending $3,800,000.
After a bond issue of $50,000,000, New York spent last
year $2,500,000 in, state aid and another $2,500,000 from
local taxation, and this year appropriates $7,000,000.
These are a few instances cited from states that have
awakened to the value and necess; v y of good roads.
The county lew for roads this year will approximate
$125,000. Six per cent interest on $1,500,000 will be $90,
000, which would leave $35,000 for maintance or sinking
fund, without any additional taxation.

THE THIRD CHEEK SLAPPED. - -
GRANTS PASS, as predicted, promptly found a third
cheek for the Southern Pacific to slap and the while
flag now flutters above the chicken hearted belligerauts
who so jauntily defied the railroad by bringing suit to force
open crossings on streets.
The railroad sent'a sui'veyor to Merlin and anounc
ed that the terminal, was to be moved from Grants Pass
Panic-stricken the city council at once met and voted to
stop the law suit and accept tho previously rejected pro
posal made by the company to amicaoiy surrender and
eat humble pie.
Everyone admires a successful bluffer and all hats are
doffed to General Manager O'Brien. But why doesn't
he carry out his announced intention and move the ter
minal from Grants Pass? The reasons all hold good.
What more fitting place for the terminal could be sel
ected than Mcdfordl A vigorous red-blooded town that
always gives the railroad a square deal and fights hard
for its own rights?
Why two terminals in the Kogue Kiver V alley t Aiovo
the shops and division headquarters to Medford, the logi
cal point. It is a common sense proposition that must
appeal to every hard-headed railroad man.
Why not, Mr. U'isrienY
