Y LANCI1E RING, in an interview in a Ifew York paper,
sa's that she found, the audiences tho samo all over.
"There is very little difference between Medford, Or."
says Miss Ring, "and Broadway, except that the people
arc likely to take you more seriouslv and it is a little more
difficult to make the kind of comedy that Broadway likes
go with a country audience."
All of which is probably correct. Tho Broadway audi
ences are composed, in the main, not of New Yorkers, who
arc a very provincial 'lot, but of tho pcoplo of the Medfords
of the United States who arc in New York on a sight-seeing
trip. It is an acknowledged fact that the Broadway shows
are kept alive by the transient population of Manhattan.

THE Southern Pacific company has taken a step in the
right direction- it has ordered the depot of the Rogue
Tii.ver. Valley Railroad company cleared of mercantile in
stitttl ions, and henceforth that building will be used only
for railroad purposes, as it should be.
In the words of a popular song "Every Littlo Bit
nelps." Ifcjs totbc hoped Mat the Southern Pacific -will
keep .up the good work and dear the right-of-way in the
neuter of the city of unsightly warehouses, moving them
further south. The center of tho city should either bo the

lUiklai for Hesltb.
No man who' labors with ltts fiands in Jnukson County, or who depend
niou wages fohis1 maintenance nnd Kiiptort, can find 'a good reason why
he should not vote in favor of the bon d itisue of one and n half million dol
lars io be expended all within Jackou County upon Jackson County rtuulx,
and so far as tho authorities can control the matter, be paid only to Amcri
ean resident laborers. We can see why the tax payer who pays into the
(,ounty Treasury a considerable amount of money may hnve fears thnt tin
burden of indebtedness will increase his taxes, and yet we think that his
fears arc groundless. Thnt amount of money properly expended in Jnck
son county within the next four years will build three hundred miles of
permanent nnd scientifically built roads, and this three hundred miles of
road would be divided up and placed over the county nbout us follows :
Fifty-six miles running from the California line through Ashland, Tal
tnt, Phoenix. Medford, Central Point, Gold Hill, and Woodville to the line
of Josephine County;
Sixty miles more will cross the county in the other direction commenc
ing we will say nt Ruch postofficc on theApplegntc, running through Jack
sonville, through Central Point, through Agate to Eagle Point, and from
thence straight north to Trail;
About 16 milefrom Eaglu Point to Butte Falls;
About 20 riiles tip Big Butte:
About 20 miles or more from Englo Point up Little Butte creek;
From Bntte Falls to Prospect;
From Agate to Sams Valley postoffice and to Beagle and down io
Gold Hill on that side of the river;
From Rach down the Applegnte ten or twelve miles to the Josephine
County line; '
From Ruch up both Big and Little Applegate to the foot of the
mountains;
From Ashland to the Klamath County line via Wagner Springs; and
From Woodville up Evans Ctcck through the populous part of t!it creek
valley, and other roads which should be mnde permanent. That is to sa'v
the three hundred miles of road at $5000 per mile will mtika great highways
across tho county, through the densely populated portions both north nnd
south, and east and west; and will make durable highways of same char
acter up every creek of any1 consequence in the county. This work will re
quire ah immense amount' Of labor for mertYid teams. ' '
It may be truthfully said that the present method of constructing high
ways in Jackson County is the most expensive way in which our road work
can be done. Without the bond issue we must pay tho labor by county war-
rents, and these have been forced down by vnrious causes to about 90 cents
en the dollar. One reason why they don't bring pnr is that their cireulu
llon among the people is rieccshnrilly local; and another reason is that the
person wio Invests inTCohnty'WnrraittK mtiHt await their final payment be
fore he receives one penny of intercut. The poor man cunnot afford to
hold his money this long,' and o It is bought up by monicd men whose wholo
object Ls'to force down the put' valuo of tho Acrip to such a figtire that "in
long run after waiting years until 'it is paid, their investment may cquhl
par and 8 per cent per annum on their money. Wc cannot do 'very' raueh
business in this manner. The county has been trying it; the county is oilly
iN7,O00 In debt at 'this time, with an aHsessed valuation of pcftrly $40,
000,000. This Is uot a very heavy indebtedness for such a wealthy cofn
rounjty. Some of our citizcnV viy thut we should go on and levy a tnx
heavy enough to produce a'targu 'amount of (none'y Tbr Tom! purposes.
This would be a burden upon the present tax payers, while the bond form of
indebtedness would distribute tho burden alonjf a period of twenty years nlid
others will help pay it who come after us. Let us suppose thnt the eity of
Ashland, or Medford, or Cential Point, or any other city of the couilty
would attempt to pave their streets by paying out city warrants. Tlmy
would soon find that their warrants would drop to 73 cents on the dollhr.
Hid even lower, Jackson County Warrants at one time brought 8 per ceint
instead of (1 per cent as how, and when thoy brought 8 per cent Mr. Beck
n,an of Jacksonville will tell uny citizens of tho County that he bought more
than $T)0,000 of Juekoon County Warrants nt 30 cents nn the dollur.
Is it business to attempt any great enterprise in this maimer?
)Ve do not do it in our pavingcontrncts; wo do not do It when we In.
nuguratonn expensive water system; wo'do'imt do if lriotir Joh3drdrstrlfitM
','hen wo' want to build a fine school house, because it isn't good business
to atlempt Itriri airih'etfe lntltances the people contract a BONDED IN
PEBTEDNE8S. It is said that our county crt'rtft ani its assistant advisory board do not
know how to build scientific! rondfc? This is probnbly true. They do not
know how to' liUildH(eeI)jridgct, across Roge 'er, buVtlicy havo had good
ones built'. The pqOpWwho furnished tho money, to construct tho railroads
in this valley did nbt know hliw to bit ild railroads bilt'thoir money brought
people hero who did. The, City Coimei" of Medford, nor any member of if,
could uot have laid the 24 miles of wuter main from tho mountains to this
city; tho engineering difficulties were beyond their capacity, but thov had
it done by employing Hitch engineers a s understood the work. So there is no
argument in tills. '
Some carping critics suy they aro afraid of graft, fnny bf us hnva
spont our lives in this couutry and wo haye noyor known graft to bo attached
to tho expenditure of public funds. Tho cities of Ashland and Medford have
expended, through tiielr common council!, jare suniii of money 'during the
past two years In public Improvements, and I have hot heard any of Hiobo
officers being Veered h graft, or'any other' tormof corruption; ' Their Judg
riient may havo been 'criticised; but We are all liable to err. '
